Twelve Core Modules of Direct Awakening Practice
MODULE ONE Opening for the miracle of awakened consciousnessIn order to practice direct awakening, a clear understanding and experience of awakened consciousness is required. In this introductory session, we will take an experiential journey into our own true nature, noticing how this luminous consciousness differs from ordinary consciousness, and discover how we can allow this sacred dimension of being to naturally begin to reveal itself as nothing more than our own true “I AM”. You will learn. … … How to recognize your own “true nature” or “awakened consciousness” and how to make room for this essential mystery to begin to animate your being. |
MODULE TWO An unshakable foundation for awakening: Cultivating a fertile field in which our meditation can flourishAs with any practice, Direct Awakening rests on a set of fundamental principles that together form a solid foundation for the profound transformative work we will be doing. In this module, you will learn a clear and simple set of steps to follow each time you practice, which will enable you to establish that unshakable foundation for the great work of awakening. You will learn. … … 3 Basics of Optimal Meditation Posture That Will Allow You to Practice Without Being Distracted by Unnecessary Physical Tension or Pain. (No, you shouldn’t sit cross-legged on the floor, but it matters how you sit, and these yes and no can have a big impact on the quality of your attention!)

MODULE THIRD The World Beyond Understanding: Incomprehensible satisfaction of beingFrom dawn to dusk, we always do something. We are trying to achieve something, achieve something, change something, do something. And while this involved life orientation is necessary to participate in and contribute to the world, it tends to obscure a more fundamental reality: the inherent freedom and fullness of being itself. In this module, we will consciously take on what may be the ultimate challenge for any person: allowing ourselves to rest in unimaginable satisfaction and freedom to just be who we are. You will learn. … … How to short-circuit the ego’s relentless insistence that there is something missing in this moment and discover the deep depth and fullness that is always there. |
MODULE FOUR Return to Innocence: Activating the mystery of ignoranceOur culture places great importance on knowledge. We are valued and rewarded for what we know and are often afraid to admit it when we don’t know it, but when it comes to the secret of spiritual awakening, our conceptual knowledge can only take us this far. In order to truly enter the vast, boundless territory of awakened consciousness, we must be willing to go beyond our confidence and enter into awakened innocence. In this module, you will learn how to “live in the unknown” so that deep energy and intelligence, which are always beyond our comprehension, can begin to manifest in your experience. You will learn. … … How to open the door to deep intuitive wisdom and spontaneous creativity by letting go of the “need to know.” |
MODULE FIVE Awareness of Mindfulness: The miracle of self-discoveryOne definition of awakened awareness is “awareness that is aware of itself.” While this may seem esoteric, learning how to be aware of your own awareness is actually one of the simplest and most accessible practices of direct awakening we will consider. The discovery that this awakened awareness is always present brings our search for freedom outside ourselves to an end, freeing us into a natural state of omnipresent wakefulness. In this module, we will run a series of exercises to help you learn how to activate awakened consciousness by paying attention to the movement of consciousness itself in meditation and in everyday life. You will learn. … … Why our habitual identification with thoughts and feelings blocks our recognition of awakened awareness, and how to break free from this habit and enter directly into our awakened nature right now.

MODULE SIX Embracing our true nature: Awareness Beyond the False SelfWe have all heard that the “false self” or ego is the main obstacle on the spiritual path. But how do we go beyond this mind-constructed story about ourselves to reveal the extraordinary abilities of our true nature? In this module, we will employ a series of powerful practices to dissolve the limitations of our “false self” so that we can open up to the infinite power and depth of our true self. You will learn. … … How to systematically deconstruct the deeply rooted “false identity structure” that we all take for granted. |
MODULE SEVEN Breaking the separation myth: The emergence of non-dual awarenessMost of us are familiar with the idea of “oneness.” “For many of us, belief in our essential oneness has even become a new religion. But how many of us can truly say that we have transcended the illusion of duality? In this module, we will dive deeply into one of the most essential and life-changing revelations of enlightenment – the truth of nonduality that liberates the reality of non-division. You will learn. … … How to break through the strongest illusion there is. |
MODULE EIGHT Giving up the illusion of control: The sacred art of letting goMost of us have achieved great success in life by trying to control and direct events and circumstances to our advantage. But spiritual awakening is ultimately getting out of the way so that great wisdom and power can begin to guide and ultimately revitalize our lives. To allow the miraculous energy of awakening to begin to operate unimpeded, each of us must find a way to surrender to a mystery that is beyond our minds. In other words, we must let go of control. In this module we will learn the subtle art of letting go in meditation so that we can begin to be carried along the current of awakening. You will learn. … … How to give up control of your meditation so that the awakened consciousness can begin to “meditate” on you. ” |
MODULE NINE No More Nowhere To Go: Resisting an explosive admission that “this is it”The human condition is dominated by a latent feeling of lack. This assumption of scarcity keeps us in an endless cycle of constantly seeking happiness and fulfillment elsewhere. In this module we will explore the life-changing meditative practice of seeing the inherent perfection and wholeness of reality as it is right now. When we stop insisting that something is missing in this moment, we open the door to the overwhelming revelation of fullness and unimaginable satisfaction that is our natural state. You will learn. … … The secret of the transition from the paradigm of absence to the direct recognition of unconditional completeness and innate freedom here and now. . |
MODULE TEN The meditation is already happening: Letting the awakening happen by itselfAs we delve deeper into the practice of direct awakening, we gradually discover that the less effort we put in, the more the awakening process begins to take on a life of its own. In later stages of practice, we learn to navigate the intricacies associated with making room for mysterious energy and intelligence to open up within us, but without making mistakes, becoming completely passive in the process. In this module, we will learn the subtle art of “getting out of our own path” so that the miracle of awakening can begin its journey with us, ultimately allowing it to penetrate every aspect of our lives. You will learn. … … How to “get out of the way” in meditation so that the awakening process can develop naturally.

MODULE ELEVEN Enlightenment in action: Practice of direct awakening in daily lifeWhile the precious time we spend in meditation lays the foundation for an extraordinary, awakened life, we all spend most of our time outside of meditation, actively interacting with the world. What if we could turn our daily lives into deep spiritual practice so that every moment can be a moment of awakening? In this module, we will bring our contemplative practice from our “virtual temple” to the marketplace, exploring how to practice direct Awakening even when we face the complexities and challenges of relationships, work, play and creativity. You will learn. … … Why trying to hold onto meditative awareness in the midst of a stressful life usually doesn’t work and can actually be counterproductive — and a key shift that will allow you to turn your daily life into a deep field of awakening. |
MODULE TWELVE A Journey That Never Ends: Activating the Eternal Awakening ProcessAs we become entrenched in the natural practices of direct awakening, the line between formal practice and the rest of life gradually fades. That’s when we fall in love with meditation. This is when we return home to our true nature. However, this can also be a delicate transition, as our conditioned tendencies towards unawakened consciousness are likely to still have momentum. Therefore, it is imperative that even as our awakening becomes more organic, easier and more natural, we remain committed to a practice that can last a lifetime. In our final module, we explore how to maintain our formal practice even as we make room for the natural awakening process to gradually embrace our being. You will learn. … … How to avoid falling into the “rut of practice” (even if it is really good) and what it means to approach each moment of the practice as if you were practicing for the first time. |
