An Invitation to Awaken
Meetings in Being are a conscious gathering in Presence to inquire into, explore, and awaken to our True Nature. Everyone is invited to give up the spiritual search and just notice what is already here right now, and simply abide and interact from the profundity of our own Deepest Essence. Greg Marian facilitates the satsang gatherings 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 a way to invite people to notice the awake, still Awareness that is already here. Every inquiry, experience, and situation is welcomed and embraced as a portal for our Awareness to shift 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, phenomena, and beings. Everything is seen to have this same one Awareness-Presence as its source, and is perpetually manifesting itself as all things and all beings. We come to
realize that what we are is 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 both experience and
conceptualization.
The Ultimate Truth of our Being can never be fully communicated and understood with words, only directly realized as our own True Nature. Whatever we can say about it never completely grasps it and is the reason that sages of all traditions throughout time have pointed to this non-dual Essence through negation, using such words as such 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, or any other activity or situation that emerges in the Moment of Now. When we know ourselves as That, its infinite intelligence spontaneously expresses itself through us in a countless number of 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 therefor to simply abide and commune in the direct experience and realization of our True Nature. Meetings in Being are a conscious 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 spiritual path.
