AWARE LIVING CAFE March 2/24

There were 12  international zoom Cafe attendees; most were returning supporters. The themes from K’s Book Of Life were Dependence and Attachment. We talked about the deep need to be free, and that the free mind that has humility can actually learn, and that all learning is only when one observes clearly, moment to moment, without opinions,  judgement and beliefs that filter the direct recognition of ‘what is, as is.’ We discussed the fact that mind’s are limited to moving from the known, to the known, and that underlying insecurity – the conscious and subconscious conditioned responses to challenge – is an escape and the source of fear and attachment. We further discussed that in truth (which ultimately cannot be avoided) one does not know, and that there is in fact, no ‘knower‘ . We ended on a note of recognizing that the essential nature of one’s freedom from dependence and attachment lies not in any books or ‘outside’ authorities but only in deep and deepening  inner self-knowing; in directly recognizing that all that one is, is choiceless, infinite awareness: love, peace, beauty and joy.
