Relinquishing the Known

Imagine you woke up one morning and all your mind-generated, psychological knowledge of yourself and life was completely gone. Who would you be?

Topics Include:

• What Is the Spiritual Drive?
• Grasping for Secret Knowledge
• The Barrier of Psychological Knowing

• Living in the Pause
• Absolute Cooperation with Reality
• The Gift of Spiritual Poverty

Quotes from this Download:

“At some point we come to see that it’s not what we don’t know that’s causing us all the problems, it’s what we do know.”

“The only thing that makes us go to battle with life is some sort of belief system.”

“We want to let go of pain, but we don’t want to let go of the cause of the pain.”

“One of the biggest barriers people have to lasting freedom is they’re afraid they’ll be alone.”
