So you might see that the spiritual journey is not a matter of going someplace—it is a matter of opening up to the possibilities of exactly where you are right now.

DHTEN Continues to grow

We just finished a three day weekend on the Yellow aspect, Joy, and will continue our explorations of the same in September.

It seems that our September meeting will be on zoom. Our building will be under construction and not usable for a several weeks.

Let your friends know that they can still join us for the Joy/Yellow retreat. There is Joy for everyone:
 
THE HIDDEN TREASURES OF YOUR UNDERWORLD
Hatred, Peace & Power
Join us for an introductory four-part series
with Diamond Approach Teacher Andreas Mouskos.
Friday evenings, August 4, 11, 18 & September 1, 2023
from 5 pm to 8 pm Mountain Time on Zoom.
The spiritual traditions of humanity are replete with stories of ordinary human beings who descended into the Underworld, faced their demons and re-emerged as heroes and heroines.
These timeless stories speak of the time-tested process
that all who wish to live worthwhile lives have to undergo.

As Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living!"
Carl Jung spoke extensively of the need for all of us to face our shadow.
In this four-part series we will explore the specific demon of Hatred.
We'll delve into the very nature of Hatred and find out what hidden treasures
lie within this dark, tarry pit that lies within each human soul.
Join Andreas to find out what hidden treasures await you in your own personal underworld.
Tuition benefits 100% the Diamond Approach Australia, a non-profit organization disseminating the teaching in Australia,
and costs $220 Australian dollars (about $151 US dollars).
You will be charged in Australian dollars when you register here.
THE PARADOXICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
HATRED AND PEACE


Join Andreas Mouskos for this Free introduction to DHTEN and the Diamond Approach.
Saturday, August 12th, 2023, from 10 am to 12:30 pm MT, on zoom.

We can all see how hatred can lead to violence and war. This has been the case for as long as history has been recorded.
And yet, what is so obvious to all of us, is not the whole truth. Hatred can also be a doorway to deep and real peace.
We need to find the way to unlock this very dangerous and powerful door in our own souls
if we can ever hope to see peace in our world at large.
In this webinar, we will explore this very timely and crucial topic.

Before Checking Your Device

Before checking your device,
Check the news inside
What is the internal weather like
when the wind of your breath
penetrates your cells?

What music plays today
in those innermost sensations?
Listen.

The sacred that you are
can be felt with your attention.

Descend from your head
into your heart
A short elevator ride down
and you enter another dimension.

Live from there.

Seek to enter the relational field
from that mysterious, refined
space where an orchestra is gathering
to play your song.

Become a coverless, faceless book
One without images
or self-assertions,
Or opinions, and positions
Read the wordless pages of
your immediate experience.

Ask yourself
What are you?
(Not the machine
Not even the ghost in the machine)
Yes, your past haunts you
But is not you.

Listen now.

The symphony has begun.
Attend to the notes
playing in the dark and vast chamber
of your heart.

Tend to your very being.

Now.

And now.
