It’s hard to believe that Adyashanti will be here in Perth (Western Australia) in just over seven weeks! Hundreds are planning to hear him at he Fremantle Town Hall and the places are filling up rapidly for his intensive at Cottesloe. We strongly advise you to register for Adya’s intensive if you’re planning to be there.

The recording of the satsangs in Perth, Sydney and Byron Bay will be availabe online for download within a week of each event. The recordings will be uploaded to Adya’s Cafe Dharma site so anyone can go online and purchase them for download. A card explaining this will be available at the bookstore at each event.

“To try to get beyond yourself is the ultimate act of self-obsession. If you’re going to do anything, put your attention on what’s already free. Your mind would say, Well, where is that? I would say, It’s the awareness that you’re using right now to look, to listen, that awareness itself. It’s already free. Just abide in what’s already free.” ~ Adyashanti

We’ve just had the most extraordinary time at Gurukula, over the last week, with our dojo packed out at every event with friends from all over Perth keen to hear the direct, loving and insightful teaching of Leonard Jacobson on The Two-step Dance of Awakening.

The energy and Presence in the room at times was quite palpable. Almost all who attended these memorable events have expressed deep appreciation for the new depths of understanding and deliverance (from ego control) they received.

Ever since we’ve stocked Leonard’s latest (of 4) book, Journey into Now, they’ve been selling like hot-cakes, mainly as a result of reader recommendations. My wife, Pearl, has been encouraging her counselling clients to get a copy as Leonard’s book is as practical as it is profound in its approach to spirituality and personal well-being. It’s certainly one of the best books I’ve read on Presence awareness.

Even if you weren’t able to be with us, you can still get an idea of what he said and be encouraged to live in Presence via the audio and video clips etc. you will find (constantly updated) at Leonard’s Web site.

In May, 2005, I had the amazing good fortune to travel from Australia to northern California, via India, to attend a Silent Retreat conducted by Adyashanti.

Adya, as he is known, describes himself as a ‘Truth guy’ and is about as true-blue as they come.

After practicing Zen for some time, there was a big break-through in his understanding and he’s been a spiritual teacher, more or less, ever since.

The straight-forward way he puts things seems to be helping a growing number of seekers to see and experience the sublimity of their essential nature.

I told Adya there were a lot of people Down-Under who appreciated what he had to offer, and invited him to come and do some teaching in Australia.

After considering it, Adya accepted and this October, he will be giving a series of satsang talks and intensives in Perth, Sydney and Byron Bay.

We don’t know how it happened, but it seems that everybody in Australia and beyond our shores, who’s the least bit interested in spiritual truth teaching, is now talking about Adya’s upcoming visit.

We’ve even had a number of inquiries from people planning to attend the Perth events from interstate and overseas! Interest in Adya’s teaching work has now grown so much that we will have to book a bigger venue in some places.

Today, it was announced that people can now register on-line for Adya’s weekend intensives in Perth, Sydney and Byron Bay.

Check out the dates and if you’d like to attend, please register now to avoid disappointment. Numbers are strictly limited at all venues.

If you have friends you think may be interested in hearing this gifted and insightful teacher in Australia, please forward this post on to them. Believe me, after hearing Adya, they will thank you profusely for alerting them to this opportunity of a life-time.

Well, with this entry, I offer an enhanced blog for visitors and subscribers interested in what has been called ’spiritual enlightenment.’ 

From primitive beginnings, The Seer has now graduated to using the new WordPress 2.2 software which should make our blog more convenient for all concerned.

I gratefully acknowledge the generous help of WordPress friends in getting the program up and running and to Dave, at BlueCat Systems for his expertise in uploading and enhancing our chosen theme.

If you would like to check out the blog postings prior to this date, go to the old blog page on our site.

I trust that any time spent with these offerings will lead you to a direct experience of your true Self or THAT which is timeless and beyond any words to describe. Satchitananda.
