Hey everyone, There's an upcoming presentation with Peter, heres the details: https://selfenquirydyads.org/#:~:text=Future%20Presentations

Hey everyone! I’m David, and I’m new here. I came across this community while looking for people who share an interest in Peter Ralston’s work, so I’m glad to have found a space specifically dedicated to it. I’ve been exploring consciousness, meditation, and self-inquiry, and I’ve found Ralston’s emphasis on direct experience particularly interesting. I’m also thinking of putting together a small weekly online discussion group for people interested in exploring Ralston’s work, consciousness, and self-inquiry together. The idea would be to read and discuss a short section or topic each week, then spend some time on contemplation or direct-experience exercises.Nothing formal or teacher-led—just a small group of people with a shared interest who want to explore the work together. If that sounds interesting to anyone here, let us know by commenting on this post. I’d love to hear from others who are share the same interests!

Hey everyone, we've been working on some improvements to this community that will be rolling out soon. Before we lock them in, I want to hear from you. Is there anything you wish we had here but currently don't? Non-Skool related suggestions are welcome too! The more specific, the better. "A weekly session" I can act on. "More stuff" I can't. 🙏

I notice when I judge someone or something (and by judging I mean assigning a moral value to my assessment of something, as opposed to discerning where I am not making a moral attribution) I am avoiding an emotion or feeling. The judgement of the the "thing" acts to replace the emotion that preceded it. I cannot be judging someone and be simultaneously genuinely feeling the truth of my emotions. As an example I was busy harshly judging someone at work for sabotaging a project I was working on. I was fuelled with so much anger and injustice. Narratives spinning away about how I could get revenge. Make it right again. I realised the anger and indignation I felt arising from judging was masking what I was really feeling. Hurt. Sadness. Pain. Even some shame I didn't help the person when they needed it. Judging this person blocked the truth of my experience. I fell out of authenticity. This process also generated a lot of suffering. Does anyone else recognise this within them as an insight? Judgement blocks our truth. Suffering is generated in how we relate (avoiding in this case) to our feelings and emotions. Not as much from the feelings themselves. The feelings dissolved immediately and suffering stopped as soon as I let myself feel them ☺️

Congratulations to Frank for kyu 8 Good job 💪
