An Invitation to Awaken
Meetings in Being are a gathering in Presence to inquire into, explore, and awaken to our True Nature. Everyone is invited to give up their spiritual search and just notice what is already here right now, and abide in the simple profundity of our own Deepest Essence. Greg Marian facilitates the satsangs and invites everyone awaken to their timeless Essence in this very moment, just as they are. He shares the timeless wisdom of Non-Duality in a very simple and direct way, offering refreshingly unique and intuitive pointers to the Absolute, as well as integrating teachings from various spiritual traditions. Words and Silence are offered as an invitation for people to notice the awake, Stillness/Awareness that is always already here. Every inquiry, experience, and situation that arises is welcomed and embraced as a portal for our Awareness to shift back into its natural, unbounded state. Beyond awakening, the ever deepening process of embodiment is also openly explored whereby our realization becomes more integrated into our everyday lives and relationships.
Our True Nature
Our True Nature is one undivided Wholeness that simultaneously embraces and transcends all things. The unbounded experience of Unity is a direct realization that comes from a fundamental shift in our consciousness whereby our Awareness is experienced in its unbounded and unlocalized state. With this shift in Awareness comes a direct seeing that our identity is not bound within the individual mind and body, but actually exists throughout the expanse of infinity. This Awareness eventually reveals that it is also the essential nature of all forms, all phenomena, and all beings. Everything is recognized to have this same one Awareness-Presence as its source, which is perpetually manifesting itself as the vast universe. We directly experience our Self to be the complete Totality of
Consciousness, simultaneously embracing and transcending both its
unmanifest and manifest natures, revealing a wordless
intimacy with What Is that is beyond all experience and
conceptualization.
The Ultimate Truth of our Being can never be fully communicated and understood with words, only directly realized and experienced as our own True Nature in this very moment. Whatever one says about it never completely grasps it, and is the reason that sages of all traditions throughout time have often pointed to this non-dual Essence through negation, using such words as Advatia which means 'one substance, not two'. Every being who realizes their True Nature has their own unique way of expressing this wordless Truth, be it through Silence, words, poetry, dance, music, art, relationships, or any other activity or situation that emerges in the Moment of Now. When we know ourselves as That singular Essence, its infinite intelligence spontaneously expresses itself through us in a countless number of unique and creative ways.
The Essence of Satsang
The word 'satsang' is a Sanskrit word that means "meeting in Truth" and is a place where inquiries into our True Nature can be addressed, unfolded, and directly experienced. The essence of satsang is therefore to simply abide and commune in the direct experience and realization of our True Nature or Essence. Meetings in Being are a gathering in this Essential Nature, inviting everyone to awaken, abide, and express their True Nature in an understanding and supportive environment. The intention is to meet everyone where they happen to be in the moment and engage their experience in a way that is meaningful to their particular life and the spiritual path that they are (or aren't) currently on.
