Next Sessions Update - Weds March 12th
Time sensitive info
Hi everyone, this is a quick update, but I needed as many people to see it as possible.
Quite a few people had expressed interest in the ongoing dream course over on patreon, and 4 of those more-than-4 people have signed up — so I will be starting next weds, so that those early adopters can get a leg up on practice for spring equinox.
If you want to *spring* along with this and get on board, I would love to have you. If not, things will be recorded for posterity, but group dynamics can’t fully be shared via recording. As things continue on, there will be repetition and that will be good, as each time we hear the View and Methods in different calendrical qi, it will trigger different processes and insights.
However, there is nothing that can replicate the determination to start and enter a river and feel the feelings of a group body that is practicing something. This snake year is great for this kind of dream work. Next year may feel like it has more qi for starting/building, and it does, but without the preparation of this year, next year may be very overwhelming and injure us as yang qi floods outward.
Dream work is very internal and requires rest and boundaries. To be around others who prioritize such things is a great and rare blessing.
In any event, I will still be here doing what I feel is right, month after month after month until this body dies. As people come and go, we will all experience the beautiful, impoverished agony of samsara, and our apparent inability to handle our inherent freedoms!
Daoist dream work is not the same as modern Tibetan-interpreted dream work, or like western lucid dream-based practices. The View is about returning and what that actually feels like, beyond false stories and ideas about it. It is not a theological endeavor, but we may also meet “gods” and other non-human entities. We will definitely detox our preferences and karmic cravings and aversions. It is a mercy, a grace and a kindness to reveal what is already basic and needn’t be achieved, won or gained.
Yet there is something that must be done, enacted.
Protect that peace
