Applying Vipassana in Daily Life and Seeing Its Progression Along the Path
This class is designed for those who are dedicated to deepening their experience of the Dharma and moving further along the path. The class will be largely experiential, informed by Celeste’s nearly 30 years of Vipassana study and practice under Aaron and Barbara.
Vipassana means “clear seeing,” and its practice helps us develop the skill of focus or concentration. In this class, we will use our increasing focus and spaciousness to deepen our ability in the moment to know our experience.
We will explore the active moment and beyond. We will begin to more clearly see the self-identification with our karmic arisings and what comes together to form a moment. We will watch the sense of solid self as it begins to weaken and the resultant awakening to Presence, discerning mundane from supramundane consciousness.
As part of a path of service, we will learn to investigate and transmute objects of mind right then and there in any conscious wakeful moment. Sacred darkness will more clearly be seen as nondual expression, and our true nature as spaciousness and Light will begin to come into view.
