The self inquiry intensives at the Samadhi Center are designed to create conditions of no escape for the ego structure, for the awakening or realization of your true nature. Working continuously from early morning to late at night, participants alternate roles in dyads (groups of two), where one person is a witness and the other engages in deep inner investigation to realize who they are. The intensives are in alignment with the self inquiry of Ramana Maharshi, the Zen traditions, and owe a great debt to the Charles Berner self inquiry method as well as the dyad techniques used in modern psychology.

Who can participate in a self inquiry intensive?
A self inquiry intensive is the most powerful tool that we know of for awakening. It may be the perfect catalyst for awakening at a certain point on your evolutionary journey, but it is not for everyone. One may have physical or psychological healing that needs to happen before doing one of these retreats. Please contact us and arrange a zoom call for more information.
What is direct knowledge of your true nature?
When we usually speak of knowing something, we are speaking about information received from the mind and senses in the form of experience. It is the conditioned self or personality that experiences and knows through the mind and senses. Direct knowledge of your true nature is not mediated by the mind and senses. It is akin to waking up from the dream character that you have been experiencing or identified with, where one “just knows” that one is awake. It is not learned, or conditioned knowledge; it is something intrinsic to our being at a much deeper or more fundamental level. It is a realization of the timeless, eternal, primordial awareness that you are, beyond name and form.

I once repeated the mantra "This is a dream, and I am awake" while trying to wake up, as if it was a sleeping dream. About 10 minutes in, I felt an alarmingly drastic shift in perspective that felt like the moment just before you wake up from a sleeping dream. My ego was so terrified of waking up, that I fell to the floor and clung onto this reality will all my might. If what I was experiencing was an awakening, I wasn't brave enough to follow through with it. For those that are trying to wake up, you may want to try a similar technique
I'm going to give that a go....might be better than my chant "Who are ya? Who are Ya??
If we ask our minds to create an experience and believe it will happen then it will definitely happen. I would say awakening is becoming aware of our awareness without any experience associated during a period of time where we are only aware of our awareness. I think it was Manly Hall who I heard tell about illuminations which have different degrees of being aware of our unconditioned awareness. Often these happen spontaneously like the guy who wrote Amazing Grace but can also be associated with various techniques like meditation. I think your may be a combination of fulfilled expectations as well as momentarily experiencing the world as it actually appears, especially having a perspective that it is an appearance and not solid.
I have had similar experiences as you have probably also but dismissed or soon forgot which is very common because most don't feel they could say something about them and so we forget about them. I think these experiences are what is referred to being in the present moment with no thought of the past or future which means we see without labels as though we don't know what things are and aren't interested in knowing.
I would say that what is referred to as the dark night of the soul is basically the ego being afraid of such a drastic change in perspective though there seems to be many different degrees of "dark nights". I would also say that from what I've seen the dark night of the soul tends to be a lot less dark than the time before it. I don't like the term, I like wandering in the wilderness trying to make sense of a revelation. 🙏

Jesus said he who loves me keeps my commands. He died for our sins sothat we could repent and turn from sins and be baptized to make it to heaven instead of weeping and gnashing of teeth for disobedience. Read bible book John to be saved.
Do not add self to love it is everything. Let go of self.

This is what I have been looking for for 20 years. That is how long ago I took The Maxx Workshop at Esalen Institute with Paula Shaw. I reached Samadhi but have struggled to understand just wtf the procedure was that took me there, how it was developed, where it came from and how to repeat as much as possible on my own. Have repeated the class, again, same expansion. Watching this was so powerful I had to bail. Time to rewatch. It just might become a daily. If you have read this, know that this is The most important thing I can tell you about Nirvana. And then it opens into Love.
I was just at Esalen. Amazing place
If you have the courage to touch life for the first time, you will never know what hit you. Everything man has thought, felt and experienced is gone, and nothing is put in its place.
Everything within me arises and passes away, arises and passes away. I welcome the arrival and do not hinder the departure of all.
This is incredible. Blessings to All. Namaste dear ones
I Love You, All! You're All So Beautiful to Me!🙏
I went to Awaken The World at the Samadhi Center for the June IAm 9 Day silent Retreat where we engaged in the DYADS. The outcome is beyond words. It’s in the Path to Enlightenment. The path to Awakening. Exceptional. Amazing! No words 😢❤😅😊🎉
I am curious, when asked that question "who am I" I know conceptually the right answer, something like "awareness," and I know you are looking at your direct experience, but are you basically giving the same answer all day long?
I live so far away! Wish I could experience this
I have been practicing single mind focus for a about a week. In that time I have been able to feel and visualize my energetic boundary. It has also helped me focus energy on a single point. This is fine tuning the flow of energy and conserves energy to the point that it becomes effortless. Amazing. During this experience my ego becomes the silent observer of the "I am ".
Be infinite mind omni there is no 1.
I've looked it up but can't seem to find anything.
I'd like to try this... Do you have any recommendations please? 🙏
@@purplepetunina8096 look up Chi Arts Association on TH-cam. He uses a technique called single point mind.
@@Freewillnetwork888 I've found it. Thank you very much for replying 🙏
@@purplepetunina8096 can you please help me find it I would love to try this please and thank you

The hard part would be in finding someone who's willing to sit and go through it with you. I like the idea of pinning the ego into the corner and make him holler. I also suspect a meditation before starting would be in order. Whether guided or unguided. To put yourself into a relaxed state before beginning the process.
See my comment.
You could try practising it with a mirror, preferably in the evening, by candlelight and see what comes.
You're the one that you're looking for
I agree. I experienced the dyad process in a class quite a ways out of my own town with another lady who knew very well how to do it. The results were beyond anything I've ever felt (in a good way.) I tried going back to the same place, but new people had joined and I was with a lady who didn't like the process and didn't know how to do it. Got no results from that. Searched for years for a "dyad partner" and couldn't find one. It helps to have someone you trust, but isn't part of your inner circle such as your family or closest friends, because instead of simply witnessing you, they might not be able to resist trying to advise or fix you. Or, you might not be able to help worrying that they may become worried about you, or misconstrue what you're saying, or gossip about what you said, or change their opinion of you because of what comes up during dyads.
What a joy to see a new video pop up in my notifications 🔔 🤩❤🙏🏼
I am so grateful for the work you do.
I am sending light to all watching this now and in the future. ❤️
When I was a kid, maybe 7 years old, I would stare in the mirror and repeat “Why am I me?” until I would get a bit dizzy and a sense of euphoria for a moment. I would do this occasionally to get this feeling. Eventually the effect wore off, so I quit doing it.
Many thanks for your videos and this amazing explanation. This conditioned self pretty shaken by the though of showing up so naked and vulnerable.
Glad though that the environment where this experience takes place is under mindful supervision and guidance. Best wishes to everyone for helping expand the field of Awareness...
Doing one of these retreats was how I had my first enlightenment experience, kensho. This technique is unusually powerful. Happy to see such a big TH-cam channel promoting this.
Enlightenment (if there is any such thing as enlightenment) is not an experience at
all. So, this dawns on you -- this realization (if you want to put it that way) that there
is nothing to realize. Self- knowledge, or self-realization is to realize for yourself and
by yourself that there is no self to realize that is going to be a shattering blow.
You make THE BEST videos on the planet.
I’ve been following for years.
I cannot thank you enough.
In both deep meditations and by therapeutic use of psychedelics the ego structure has had experiences that we’re absolutely terrifying which included screaming for help in a couple cases.
Utter and complete terror.
I’m still frightened of those places.
What is frightened?
Don’t know.
Who is frightened?
Don’t know.
Ego may be imagined but….
A teacher said to me in relation to that
“Real but not true.”
The struggle is real ❤
Your work videos are so important to this world right now we spoke years ago after my trip doing Ayawaska, I separated from my mind and body. It was the most beautiful thing, I have forgotten what I am being in these bodies and minds trap is in illusion
You're living this illusion for a purpose

This is breathtaking, so powerful… this just came on via shuffle, I wasn’t expecting how emotionally triggering it would be, but when I saw that woman’s slow-motion scream half way through, I was so overwhelmed by the emotional response and release it set off, I had to stop and put my coffee down just to sit and integrate it. I don’t know anything about this practice or path of study, but clearly this was something I needed to hear today. Thank you for this 🙏🏻
Yes. You did need to hear it. And if it moved you it’s because it resonated with something within you. It happened for me this way, and my path has become a journey of awakening. Not quite there yet but so far its been an amazing experience! #meditate
Another amazing video. Thanks Dan !
The most primordial nature is awakening!
Thank you for sharing such good videos
AWESOME incredible kudos
Very interesting content but background music is distracting.
When it's done by our own it's called meditation so cute 🥺 they don't want to get us confused.
Thank you sir 🙏
Beautiful video
🙏 Many thanks.
Love this! Thank you ❤️🙏✨
You must think you're cute ☄️💥⚡
....a humble mind....thank you....yes
Gorgeous, unbelievbale gorgeous, Atma-Vichara in a modern form
I did this, not moving, staring at a spot on a wall, constantly self-correcting attention back to the spot without moving all alone. Not easy but, well worth the pain!
At one moment has to go beyond the duality observer and observed! Never went above myself
Seriously? How about this instead. When were you, as I, not? Can you remember a moment in or out of time you were not the I you know?
@@worldisillusion11 You clearly know nothing about neurosis.
@@tomjensen618 To me, being of the Universal Mind of the One in the many, the intentional and willing FKing over of a neighbor in the name of anything having to do with commerce or politics is the epitome of neurosis (n.):
1776, "functional derangement arising from disorders of the nervous system (not caused by a lesion or injury)," coined by Scottish physician William Cullen (1710-1790) from Greek neuron "nerve" (see neuro-) + Modern Latin -osis "abnormal condition." Originally of epilepsy, hysteria, neuralgia, etc. Used in a general psychological sense from 1871, "change in the nerve cells of the brain resulting in symptoms of stress," but not radical loss of touch with reality (psychosis); clinical use in psychiatry dates from 1923.
nerve (v.):
c. 1500, "to ornament with threads;" see nerve (n.). Meaning "to give strength or vigor" is from 1749. Related: Nerved; nerving.
There is nothing to be said by a simple minded such as my self, other than the writing is on the wall. But, of course, you will continue to stay in denial.
I most definitely did this very succesfullly with a mirror over and over for very long periods of time every day
How was your experience of life changed afterwards?
Hello, I am new in here. I try to understand and follow you. But the basic music let me feel nervous instead of relax. 😢

Woooow! Perfect timing to remember us what is important. Thanks explaining how to create the best conditions, no distractions! I will try it out
Jesus was sent by God in the flesh to earth so we would see the kingdom of God. His life was blameless yet he died for our sins sothat we could repent , turn from sins and baptise to be saved to paradise instead of weeping and gnashing of teeth for disobedience, don't be lead to hell by other doctrines. Read bible book john
@@turnfrmsinorhell_jesus thank you so much for your advice.. I do not found mainstream religion deep. I am not even for sharing ideologies before having some spiritual insight. Although you are free to share your ideology.... I can only share that I have lost years of my life following mainstream religion.
@@selimbenmrad3206 did you ever read bible book John itself it s only around 35 pages. Scriptural following by reading yourself is the right way. I'm in the opposite situation as you I've tried all the Buddha's, yogas , universe , frequency , astronomy , DMT , 3d eye , basically any false doctrine or belief you can get and it ruined me and cursed my life , but God and Jesus healed my life again praise to them. Read direct in the bible it's totally different
Jesus said in the gospel of Thomas, the kingdom of heaven is spread upon the earth but men do not see it. He said also, who will know this truth will not know death. He also said be still and know that I am god! Maybe after some spiritual insight and after being still, you will get the point. Many christian mystics realized their true nature, what Jesus pointed to in the gospel of thomas
@@selimbenmrad3206 if you have the Holy spirit you are in God's kingdom in this life because no matter what happens you will be happy and in the afterlife heaven.
It's in the bible Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is among us. The apocrypha are removed bible books because they were written to a certain person not for the world or they did not fit into context with the rest of the bible
Resting upon a cloud of unknowing.....lovely (sigh)
Thank you!
Appreciate this❤

Спасибо 🥰🥰🥰
I had thoughts repeatedly arise about partner meditation for several months and felt urge to try it but couldn’t find a willing partner even my wife who had health problems to do that with me. Thanks for this advice/idea and I will try this with my wife in better position or someone else eventually. ❤❤❤namaste thanks 🙏🏼 ❤❤❤
hmmmm... fascinating. Strangely enough, it rings familiar.
Great video, it will help me make sessions with my group. Thank you so much !
yo this is different I like it and on point 👌🏿
Thank You..
Wish there was no music in the background... Beautiful though.
Awaken to your true nature and realize that you are the unconditioned experiencer experiencing condition...ing!!!
Try asking "Who you are?" and answer it WITHOUT the following;
Your Name
What you do
Any type of relationship with others or place
Scientific or Biological things
Or any type of spiritual things you learnt so far
It will confuse your ego!!!

God seeks to know itself through us, this is why when thought is not present we are drawn to the connection you speak of
When you imagine that you have controlled your thoughts and experience some space between two thoughts or some thoughtless state, you feel that you are getting somewhere. That is a thought-induced state of thoughtlessness. Thats a thought-induced space between two thoughts. The fact that you experience those states, space between two thoughts, and thoughtless state, means that the thought was very much there.
Sounds like quite a pathetic being! That USELESS sob needs to feed the world!
Um…thanks for this. Freaky timing, but I’m enjoying it by this point.
"What is Not Simple & Easy to Understand is Not the Truth..."
This reality is a test to see through the cloud that has been pulled over our eyes since birth. We have forgotten our true self and its our purpose to remember who we truly are. Serve your fellow humans in your search for wealth and well being, it will bring great happiness and purpose as well.
We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood.

Many years ago this process was use to call Enlightenment Intensive. If its done with 100% like gasping for air yet lettin go..after impressions period comes emptiness layer which is like deep sleep but not enlightenment and not easy to pass. If there is awareness even beyond emptiness at the source of the mind and one gathers all power it may and it may not happen a few moments when sense of separate I is gone.
What just happened?!
❤🎉🎉
Please share the photographer who took all of those incredible portraits. I was mesmerized by the faces alone.

Yes
As much as I find true inspiration in your videos I believe that there is a fine line between allowing the wisdom within to emerge and restricting the expression of the human self with austere, self-punishing even, methods. Rejection of the self for eons of time has been the very root for the scattering of the mind, in the first place.
@@Birdseyeview10 Treat the human with love and respect by being a compassionate observer. Let him breath without passing judgement and limiting his expression. After all, it's the human self who has been collecting all the wisdom through his experiencing of the illusionary world. Love him, don't choke him. Befriend him, don't annihilate him. Let him speak his truths, don't silence him. Unconditional Self-acceptance bare of criticism.
@@Birdseyeview10 How is a child inclined to react when its guardian tries to discipline it by being overly controlling, suffocating the child's impulsive expression of its experience to understand the world?

I could not agree more. It has been many years like a forced iron curtain, specifically coming about from commercialized municipal district units ruthlessly aimed toward humanity. I'm left to wonder where is the love if not in the human? Certainly not in the machine a human places a hat on to work for against other humans. The machine is not Divine, the person taking the paycheck for the machine is not Divine when taking by force from a fellow human, the human is the Divine in every instance, there should be no "conditions of no escape" (00:17) by any government or commercial entity or human toward another human, or it is not Divine Nature, which is the only nature a human can be in reality.
Once we realize the Divinity within, then this Divinity is reflected on every role, on every machine, and on every human. Each and everything has a Divine role to play in the Creattion, blessing us with the wisdom that wiil eventually lead to Enlightenment.
@@Birdseyeview10 All acceptance starts and ends from within. Self-acceptance is the portal to self-expansion.

I was just thinking with your video skills it would be cool to create an audio/visualization of the inner process during meditation, starting with the noise of continuous thought streams, then the noise gradually recedes only to return again and again until at some point it stops and we’re left with the sensation/sounds of the breath and whatever other perceptions and sensations are present and the stark contrast/freedom of no internal commentary.
Very beautiful message, just a bit too intensive background sound to be comfortable for a sensitive mind 🙏😊

I agree that the relationship with the inner dialogue is key. What language is used to refer to the false I ?
All thinking is ego.
Some of it is useful. Eat, rest, avoid harmful things, people, places.
The rest is imagined, dreaming and unreal.
The ego itself is imagined. My teacher said to that
“Real but not true.”
Also me: I don’t know.
There is the knowledge before knowledge. Recognition of preexisting truth. The uncovering, unveiling of what already and always is.
To find that, to find truth, I must identify what is false.
As what is false is seen as false, what is true is left.
I Am. That is truth.
Love is truth.
Honesty is truth.
Compassion is truth.
Kindness is truth.
Greed, hatred and delusion are not truth. When they are seen, the emperor has no clothes.
Also me: I don’t know
Knowing is happening. What is it that is knowing?
Who am I?
What am I?
What is I?
Who is asking?
Also me: I don’t know
The sense of 'I AM' never changes
It does! There are no phenomena that are unchanging. Everything fluctuates.
@@Michal_Sobczyk I Am never fluctuates
@@paperprincess1050 You have to pay attention. For example let's say you're almost having an accident while driving and there's an instant shock and your attention is automatically on the event. Then in another case you're driving and daydreaming and everything seems very slow and easy going and you visualize your future etc. In both cases there's the feeling of "me" but I bet even in your case it will be different in those two cases. In my case - in the first scenario "me" will be more of a body and will be located more behind eyeballs, in the second case "I" will be more of a thought, an abstract image.
Question. awareness of thoughts best or awareness of sensation, please reply sir.
I have many moments during practice and throughout the day where it feels like my body physically shifts without my awareness and then I am aware of watching the body through these eyes. It's kinda jarring. I do daily yoga/meditation and do mantra as often as I can remember to. During these shifted moments my mind begins to panic, heart rate jacks up and I'm pulled back into identifying with ego. Do I just continue what I'm doing? Is there a way to soothe the ego into not freaking out? My reiki healer has put the idea of loving the ego and incorporating it into the higher self, and I like this more than 'killing the ego". I just don't know if I'm going about it the right way, even if there is no right way.
I went to this once at 16 many years ago. I didn't like it because you're not supposed to hold anything back you're supposed to say the first thing that comes to your mind even if it's something that's really intimate and private.

The music made this video even more intense than it was lol
Resonance, it stimulates the senses.
The music was not useful.
We are engery and consciousness just that simple. We are mind. Everything is a mystery and we here to have experience of all the opposites. Dual!!!!!
You are not one thing and life another. It is one unitary movement and anything I say about it is misleading, confusing. You are not a person, not a thing, not a discrete entity surrounded by other things. The unitary movement is not something which you can experience
Nonsense
Why does this make me want to run?
I realize I don't! Look at anyone in the eye for very long. This video made me anxious. Uncomfortable and I honestly don't know how many attempts it would take me to do what these people are doing in this video which makes me need to do it because of how this video made me feel.
Does this make sence to anyone? Why do it feel threatened? Is this the vorrect word. Ego.false self is threatened. Ok ty for helping me work this out lol. Much love to all. Anyone want to partake in this with me♡♡ I am in spirit looking at your lovely eyes as the witness. Tell me beauiful soul. Who are you?
It's the damn music. I had to stop. Made me too anxious.
Very few people are willing to go beyond the mind, the answer to question who are you is only limited to roles we take in life- father, mother, son, vocation. How do you lead someone out of that circle as a witnesses if you are only allowed to say “clarify that”?
The witness does not lead anyone. The neutral witnessing creates space for the purification or releasing of samskaras/conditioning as the inquirer makes their unconscious mind aspects conscious. When the witness tries to teach or lead the one doing the inquiry, the one inquiring is disempowered and the technique does not work.
@@daniel_schmidt Thank you Daniel for finding time to reply! I laughed from joy when I have seen the "Samadhi" a few years ago, as it is such an accurate representation of what I've been experiencing. Even the visual effects. I have been pushed into states of breathlesness almost every hour, regardless if I am working, just sitting, walking, or any other bodily activity. When I meditate, I reach a state of absolute numbness. My breathing almost stops and air circulates from the tip of my nose upwards to the fontanel. I lose sense of the body and this tremendous energy emanates from every cell of my body, I feel as blissful, with a smile on my face. Immersed in love. Then the bright light starts emerging in the area of third eye and bright pulsating circles of light start climbing upwards my spine. I feel my bely expands and extends, but it's more energetic experience and not physical. At this stage I have no thoughts, no emotions, just pure awareness. And then breathing completely stops, my limbs start tingling and I stat losing sense of the body. It it absolutely beautiful. But then suddenly I just start panting for air and the whole experience stops. I am aware that I should sit in it, relax and trust it, but somehow I cannot go over that last hurdle of letting go and "dying". I want to bring this state of consciousness to others, to try to let them have at least a glimpse of eternal, because I know that once experienced- there is no going back to sleeping. However, most people, even those closes to me, cannot even relax into simple meditation and inquiry. That is why I was curious to know is there anything else I can do, but it is not up to me but to their karmic propensity and stage of awareness. Thank you for everything you are doing!
This practise resembles some kinds of insight meditation (also called mindfulness meditation or vipassana), except that you are talking with someone else instead of doing it on your own. The process will lead the person to understand that whatever is coming up are just ideas or concepts of who we are, they are not "ourselves". Beyond the conceptual reality lies awareness. Ultimately thoughts are just arrising in conscicousness based on previous causes and conditions from our lives, they have no existencial or spiritual relevance.
These ideas are easy to understand intelectually, but then one second later we are back into the matrix of concepts. Just like in practises such as vipassana meditation, the more time you spend inside a state being vs a state of doing, the more open your prespective and awareness will become. Your mind will become soft and flexible and not so tied down to concepts, thoughts, emotions or outside stimulus.
How often is the imperative repeated and answered- say in one 40 min session?
