Register here: https://a-mind-awake-webinars.heysummit.com
In this webinar, Helen Hamilton will explore how do we move from an intellectual understanding of what we really are to seeing it and living as this. How do we recognize that which is real, permanent and unchanging in the midst of our changing mind and experience? In this webinar, we will begin to experience our real Self that is beyond the mind and body and yet fully present at all times.
Using a combination of guided self-inquiry, Satsang and direct experience we will come to recognize who we are. We will also discuss how to live from and as this Beingness.
This session offers a transformative exploration of moving from intellectual understanding to directly experiencing and living as our true Self.
Don’t miss this transformative opportunity to deepen your understanding and live as your true Self

The Zen master Dogen's statement that "meditation is not the path to liberation; it is liberation" reflects a core insight of Samadhi, where the duality between practice and realization is dissolved. True liberation is a pathless path; not merely a goal to be achieved in the future but an inherent quality of existence that is realized through direct, present-moment awareness. The act of sitting in meditation is not about striving for some future state of enlightenment or wanting something other than what IS; it is about arriving in the present moment. This reflects the principle of shikantaza ("just sitting"), where one lets go of striving and simply abides in the completeness of what is. Join the ATW community every morning for meditation.
Join us on a Silent Meditations every day from 7:00AM to 8:00AM EST (GMT -5 hours), and 7:00 to 8:00AM PST (GMT-8) at this zoom link.
Meditation in this sense is about dropping the ego's constant striving, analyzing, and seeking. Liberation is found in the simple, direct experience of being, without trying to manipulate or change anything. The very act of sitting with full awareness, without resistance or grasping, is liberation actualized.
Always Being Buddha, always Becoming Buddha:
When one sits in meditation with no goal or expectation, fully embodying the moment, they realize that there is nothing to achieve— your true nature is already here and it is only the delusion of the mind that seeks it in the future. However, by intending to experience your true nature we first observe everything that is the false self, making all of the unconscious mind patterns conscious.
The clearing of the unconscious mind is crucial in all sadhana practice because unresolved samskaras (latent impressions or karmic imprints) can obscure true freedom and perpetuate suffering, even when one has glimpses of awakening or higher states of consciousness. Without addressing these deeply ingrained patterns, there is a risk of spiritual bypassing—using spiritual practices or insights to avoid confronting and integrating unresolved psychological and emotional issues. The clearing process is the part of meditation that involves rewiring and takes time- often many years of dedicated work to shift the patterns within the self structure and to grow the inner lotus.
To understand meditation in this way invites practitioners to stop chasing after enlightenment or peak experiences and to recognize that the act of sitting, fully present, is the awakened state. While at the same time we continue to purify and evolve the self structure become an optimal vessel for awareness to shine through, creating the conditions for deeper Samadhi, and infinite possibilities for direct experiences with life.
,1,Meet the cast of Awakening Mind Part 2 in an online retreat in November. https://awake-in-stillness.purepresenceconferences.com/?sc=uWOleySF&ac=QDZtQxYb
The Mind Unveiled expresses the "great forgetting" that occurs when we enter the human experience, obscuring the truth of who we truly are. The journey of realizing our true essential nature, the dual nature of ego and illusion, and the imprint of historical and cultural conceptions of the mind are examined through personal anecdotes and expert perspectives. The Mind Unveiled advocates for a collective awakening to address humanity’s challenges, suggesting that recognizing the ego as the core of suffering can lead to a more compassionate, interconnected, and fulfilling life.
The film cast features: Angelo Dilullo, Rupert Spira, Shakti Caterina Maggi, Francis Lucille, Amoda Maa, Steve Taylor, Victoria Ukachukwu, Bernardo Kastrup, Helen Hamilton, Tom Das, Jan Frazier, Louise Kay, Lisa Natoli, and Loch Kelly with narration by Daniel Schmidt.

,1,This guided meditation is available as an MP3 on the ATW website: https://awakentheworld.com/product/yoga-nidra-conscious-sleep-meditation/
To consciously enter the sleep cycle is to abide as primordial conscious (turiya). Even in deep sleep when mind and body have dropped of, there can be continuity of the unfathomable primordial ground of being beyond name and form. This guided meditation is meant to land beyond the mind and to transverberate into the spiritual heart.

"To enter into the human experience is to enter into a great forgetting. The veil of the conditioned mind obscures the truth of who we are..."
When an inner longing to know the truth takes root — Who are we really, the truth of our existence? How can we navigate—and perhaps even transcend—suffering? — it is at this point that the conditioned mind tries to take over the quest for truth. But this conditioned self, the part of you that wants to “achieve” enlightenment is itself the barrier, the veil of separation.
The Mind Unveiled is not just a film. It is a revealing of the Great Way that illuminates these profound questions and invites you on the pathless path to the ever-present now. It is here, by dropping the layers of illusion and conditioning that a truly awakened life becomes not just a possibility, but a living reality.
Cast: Angelo Dilullo, Shakti Caterina Maggi, Francis Lucille, Amoda Maa, Steve Taylor, Victoria Ukachukwu, Bernardo Kastrup, Helen Hamilton, Tom Das, Jan Frazier, and Louise Kay.

,1,Watching videos about awakening can sometimes stir something within us. But don't fall into the trap of endlessly watching videos about awakening. If you are serious about awakening join the next 7 day online meditation self inquiry intensive here: https://awakentheworld.com/onlineretreats/
The truth is that all seeking is based on a case of mistaken identity- you were never the character; the human avatar. The character can never awaken or become whole because the human experience is a game of separation (hide and seek). At a certain point in the game it is possible to awaken from the false character to recognize the primordial stillness/awareness that is ever- present. YOU were never in prison- it is only your fixation on thoughts and changing phenomena that has created maya, the illusion of the separate/false self. With a surrender of interest in the entire world of changing forms, give up the fixation on thoughts and let stillness reveal itself.
Deep sadhana (practice) is the way to true Samadhi. https://awakentheworld.com/onlineretreats/

,1,The Beginner's Mind Poem points beyond the dualistic mind to the highest wisdom of the enlightened mind. Sometimes it is referred to as the "heart-mind" wisdom, or "beginners mind". A mind with true faith is a "don't know" mind. "The Great Way" is attributed to the third Chinese Chan Patriarch Jianzhi Sengcan.

,1,The self inquiry intensives at the Samadhi Center are designed to create conditions of no escape for the ego structure, for the awakening or realization of your true nature. Working continuously from early morning to late at night, participants alternate roles in dyads (groups of two), where one person is a witness and the other engages in deep inner investigation to realize who they are. The intensives are in alignment with the self inquiry of Ramana Maharshi, the Zen traditions, and owe a great debt to the Charles Berner self inquiry method as well as the dyad techniques used in modern psychology.
To sign up for a 3 day self inquiry intensive at the Samadhi Center (in Ontario, Canada) click here: https://awakentheworld.com/blog/samadhi-center-meditation-retreats/#selfinquiryintensives
Who can participate in a self inquiry intensive?
A self inquiry intensive is the most powerful tool that we know of for awakening. It may be the perfect catalyst for awakening at a certain point on your evolutionary journey, but it is not for everyone. One may have physical or psychological healing that needs to happen before doing one of these retreats. Please contact us and arrange a zoom call for more information.
What is direct knowledge of your true nature?
When we usually speak of knowing something, we are speaking about information received from the mind and senses in the form of experience. It is the conditioned self or personality that experiences and knows through the mind and senses. Direct knowledge of your true nature is not mediated by the mind and senses. It is akin to waking up from the dream character that you have been experiencing or identified with, where one “just knows” that one is awake. It is not learned, or conditioned knowledge; it is something intrinsic to our being at a much deeper or more fundamental level. It is a realization of the timeless, eternal, primordial awareness that you are, beyond name and form.
