Hey y'all! @Dilulloa's meditation retreat Oct. 30 to Nov. 5th 2021 is almost full, but there's is a little space left, attached is a schedule and explanation for those who are SERIOUS about a semi-silent retreat to wake the heck up 🔥
Angelo's running the show, if you're interested email him at retreat@simplyalwaysawake.com and he can give you more details. Pricing is around $1800 for a double occupancy room covering room/board/meals/taxes for the duration and that covers the costs on the Asilomar side (you would have to add in travel costs separately). It's not exactly cheap, but it's a bargain in terms of the potential for true personal transformation 👍
While immersed in Flushing NY's seriously Chinese vibes, my kids bought a shit-ton of weird-ass snacks and then tried to recreate some random Chinese TikTok video they are obsessed with: https://www.tiktok.com/@gildrtsy/video/7405511542667545861?_r=1&_t=ZP-8y7QlZyNCxz
The result? This 😆
Hanging in a traditional Japanese (traditional) machiya house, very roomy (by hotel room comparison), traditional futon beds, pour coffee. A super cool experience! Even sporting the Z-Merch! (pics in comments)
From Sunday Zen on YouTube! Enjoy ❤️
Let's dive deep into the themes of trust, surrender, and the Threads of Awakening model introduced by Dr. Pierce Salguero in this live episode of Sunday Zen.
I've been reflecting on how traditional spiritual models can leave us feeling lost, stuck, or even scared, and how Pierce's approach offers a more inclusive framework that resonates with my own experiences.
We share insights on the different threads—emptiness, energy, unity, and psyche—and how they manifest in our lives. We discuss the challenges of spiritual ego, which I've grappled with myself, and discuss the role of psychedelics in opening new pathways of understanding. And we touch on the importance of embracing the unknown as the true entry point to the nature of reality.
Topics covered include:
The Threads of Awakening model and its impact
Trust and surrender in the spiritual journey
Navigating spiritual ego and its pitfalls
Psychedelics as tools
Embracing the unknown and the ...

We are what words and thoughts exclude
One without two, three, or infinity
We hide in shadows of perfection - as the sun never sets
Trapped by conditioning and addictions in a materialistic delusion of form
Yet everything that seems important oozes impermanence - thus fear
Know all that is created in dreams - will be destroyed by the dream
As words lack TRUTH and ALL meaning - the destruction of the dream world is rendered moot
Separation is merely a word without meaning
Neither real, nor possible
Know yourself - know the dream as the dream
Don’t end the dream with thought - you can’t
Don’t begin a new dream with thought - you won’t
Only when you STOP the dream - do you SEE it is a dream
But WHO would stop it - even for a moment?
Who would stop the suffering of the dream?
Witness the love - the truth and purpose - both the dreamer and the dream as one

We have a broken men problem. If men aren't broken, a lot of the violence goes away. If men aren't broken, no one would join the ranks of militant oppression and build internment camps. Some may find fighting the patriarchy to be a worthy thing to do, but broken men is often the result with all its attendant consequence.
