Richard Lang: Integrating awakening and everyday life

"Don't make the body do
what the spirit does best, and don't put a big load
on the spirit that the body could easily carry.." - Rumi

Wouldn't it be great if your most profound awakenings, expanded states and deepest insights could be part of day to day life? 

Yet at times it can feel like the desire for a ‘rich life’ requires a very different perspective than a spiritual one. 

The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth offers a profound and unique vision that reconciles ultimate realisation with the realities of work, family & relationships.

Join Richard Lang and Amir Giles in an online discussion, exploring a wise, compassionate and exciting perspective on reality, entirely rooted in observations you can verify for yourself.

The afternoon will involve a dialogue, q&a and optional group discussion towards the end. Recording will be sent to any ticket holders who can't make it live or who purchase access after the event. 

We had a blast in this conversation, discussing amongst other things: 

• Douglas Harding and the writing of The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth
• The hard problem of consciousness: you only know consciousness
• The spirit of wonder and curiosity about your existence
• The Law of Reflection and Projection
• Distance, Time, Evolution
• Mind & Body = experience of the world and the world's experience of you
• The stars look down upon us
• The here and there - oneness and multiplicity
• The self is known via the not-self
• Interdependency
• The the traditional journey of the mystic
• Your unique contribution
