The Far Side of Familiar

There are junctures in life that require bringing forward capacities that we may not even know we have in order to meet the situation. This involves going beyond the realm of grasping and aversion, and discovering what we are that’s below the known or familiar patterning. Mukti explores a new way of moving that’s outside our normal responses, where we enter the domain of undivided awareness that has its own knowingness of how to move through life.

Quotes:

“There are many different points in life junctures that just continually come up for us, where we feel like life is calling for us to make a move.”

“When we rest as awareness, the whole reference of ‘I’m the subject tracking an object’ is invited to soften and relax and settle.”

“The path of realization is in large part a path of journeying the unknown while being absolutely willing to know.”

“What is the awareness where no distance patterning is overlaid upon it?”

“Awareness is not a state that always feels good or spacious. Awareness is something that is present in the midst of all states.”
