Identity: Why It Matter to Know Who You are

Recording will be available and sent to all who register.

The Coming Home Together online gathering offers a deep dive into the practicalities of awakened living. Your everyday human life is the laboratory as we open to the myth of the separate self, unexplored trauma patterns, and the right now experience of nondual reality.

Our focus for this meeting is on the essential spiritual question, “Who am I?” and why it matters to explore it. At the root of personal suffering is the belief that who we are is a person with a history, story, needs, preferences, fears, and a sense of lack. As long as we identify with this core belief as the definition of who we are, we will see ourselves and the world through these distorted filters.

For example, if you carry the belief that the world, including other people, is frightening and untrustworthy, you will feel the need to protect yourself. You will evaluate people and situations according to this fear-based belief, affecting satisfaction and fulfillment in your relationships and your life. You just won’t feel comfortable being fully authentic. 

This is true of any fear- or lack-based belief we think defines us. Attachment to any story, emotion, idea of freedom or enlightenment, or ideas about the past or future will cause us to contract into a false sense of self and affect everything about our human experience in life.

Please register here. Once you register, you will be directed to the zoom link—and you will receive it by email one hour prior to our meeting. A sliding scale is offered for those with financial challenges.

The release from suffering occurs when our attachment to the mind completely disintegrates. We no longer look to any habitual beliefs to define us. We stop feeding any stories and looking to the mind to know who we are or how to act. We no longer give any weight to hopes, expectations, should’s—or any thought that takes us away from Presence here and now.

This is a radical shift into freedom, expansion, and not knowing—and into the boundless peace beyond all mental ideas that has always been here and available. It is knowing and living from pure aliveness.

A quote from poet William Blake describes this possibility: “If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.” By perception, he means any ideas we believe to be true and real that veil our view. And what remains without them is infinite knowing…pure, clear seeing.

Are you interested in suffering less? We come together in the sacred space of loving community to explore the nature of identity and the freedom that’s possible when you know who you are—and who you’re not. Bring all of you—your fears, doubt, shame, questions—and joy. All is welcome!

Together, we lovingly embrace our humanness as we expand into overflowing appreciation and deep connection with all of Life.

Friends are saying:

“At any moment, within the field of your own experience, there is an inner sanctuary of presence and stillness. You access this space by shifting your attention away from the jumble of thoughts, feelings, stories, fears, and external input such as others’ opinions. You simply turn inward—beyond all mind movement—and be.

In no time at all, you find the ground of being, the light of living vibration that’s here in every moment. It’s timeless, which means it’s eternally present, and all-embracing as the unity of all. Don’t be afraid of this vast love. Fall into its arms…”
