The Discovery of Inner Space

First, What a meeting last week! 50 people joining together to share the Sacred State of Presence! What a gift it is to be a part of such an enlightened community. I'm truly grateful.

Second, I am very enthusiastic about February as we will be having two meetups.

First, on the 19th we will be joining to discuss and hopefully experience what Tolle refers to as "Inner Space." Then on the 26th, we will be coming together to explore how to apply these teachings in our intimate relationships at our Enlightened Relationships Meetup.

This is an exciting time for this growth of this community, and the growth of Awakened Awareness on our planet.

"Most people's lives are cluttered up with things: material things, things to do, things to think about. Their lives are like the history of humanity, which Winston Churchill defined as "one damn thing after another." Their minds are filled up with the clutter of thoughts, one thought after another. This is the dimension of object consciousness that is many people's predominant reality, and that is why their lives are so out of balance. Object consciousness needs to be balanced by space consciousness for sanity to return to our planet and for humanity to fulfill its destiny. The arising of space consciousness is the next stage in the evolution of humanity." pg 227 of A New Earth

What People Are Saying..

"After recovering from many of life's challenges (I know many of us overcome challenges), attending Adam's ETolle Session was a remarkable way to continue on the path of my spiritual growth and healing, while meeting and making new friends. It was the first experience since coming to Seattle where I entered an environment with more than five people, and it was was wonderful. Before attending, I was checking my internal energy, assessing whether I had the energy to engage with a large group. By the end of the evening, I discovered that my energy level had increased, and now am grateful to be a consistent member of the group."

"I wanted to write and tell you again how grateful I am that you have provided this forum and given of your time and energy to create the Seattle group. I haven't told you, but this came at a time in my life when I had been suffering and struggling with my will to continue in life. I have always been a survivor, however the accumulation of grief, emotional and physical pain were getting the better of me. Embracing Silence and the teachings of Eckhart, along with the community, helped to grow in me the desire to live and stay present. I just wanted you to know, Thanks for committing to another 10 weeks!"

"All of my life I have been searching for a spiritual connection with people. I have tried, religion, Self help groups, AA etc. In each of those groups I never felt comfortable speaking about real deep spiritual matters. However, from the moment I walked into my first Embracing Silence Meet-up session, I felt comfortable. So comfortable that I allowed myself to open up to the people in the room and for the very first time in my life – I felt a real spiritual connection with others.
By practicing lessons learned during each session, I have finally experienced peace. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this group."

"This is an excellent opportunity for growth and friendship."

“If you find yourself looking for an avenue to discover yourself spiritually, or even to discovery peace in this chaotic society, then this meetup will certainly end your day with a fulfilled feeling of peace. Great energy abounds in this group! The book discussed is so relevant, if you are looking for enlightenment.”

“Anyone serious about spiritual growth who resonates with Tolle's teachings would benefit from this group, in my opinion. It's got a great mixture of kinds of activity, from silence, to viewing, to small groups to large groups, back to silence. Wonderful balance, and excellent facilitator. A very accepting atmosphere, too.”

"It's a wonderful opportunity to meet with others continuing on a spiritual journey, while discussing Eckhart Tolle's most recent book. Adam, the organizer, is a gem. "
