EMBARK ON A PERSONAL EXAMINATION OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WORLD.

Why do we call the retreat The Eternal Path?

We have to act and think, as humans.  We must move; we strive to understand this world and ourselves in it. Life seems to be a path. All of humanity have walked the path forever. For now, let’s think about it as a path. But the path is not simple, it appears to be a great tapestry of paths. Moving through this tapestry, we are looking for a feeling of satisfaction, safety, happiness. While the experience of feeling something is “good and right” is purely interior, the world we experience is seen as exterior. That is how our senses work.

In this way, the outside is seen as a cause, the inside feeling is seen as an effect. “That made me feel bad. This made me feel good.” But, what if this is a misunderstanding? What if the outer reality does not automatically produce the inner state? Could it be the other way around? 

It is worth examining.

I will propose, for now, that we can think about is as if there is an “inner path” that is essentially of the spirit and an “outer path” that deals with the material. One is eternal, the other is timebound. Both are endless and important. To know which path we are walking, and why we are walking, is crucial.

How do we distinguish the two paths from each other?

Unplugged Trails invite you to pause, to examine what we think we are doing? Could it be that our inner state changes the outer? Is the idea of an inner and an outer state just a result of how our senses work? Is there even a path? Is there an individual?

In our October retreat in the village of Naggar, in Kullu Valley in the Indian Himalayas, this is the line of inquiry Rina and Vijay will facilitate and inspire.

As individuals, and as a group, we will examine our beliefs. Challenge the human habits. Walk towards freedom. Walk the path of clarity.
