"Awakening From Belief"

A five day workshop with Ken Mcleod (2004)

The invitation or injunction is to recognize the habitual patterns which take over our lives and render us unconscious while they operate and then to "disidentify" with the pattern and set forth to dismantle it.

How can we know that a pattern is in operation? One teaching is to look for the following three warning signs:

1. What we don't recognize (here one needs the help of a friend).

2. What we don't question (i.e. beliefs).

3. What we don't laugh at.

Whenever you say to yourself “I have to have this, can’t have that.”, it¹s a guarantee that you¹ve just invited in some suffering.
