Help needed: contacting Sam Harris
I think it would be very valuable to get Sam Harris (https://www.wakingup.com/) to interview Peter Ralston. Listeners in Sam's meditation/lectures/conversations app would benefit from it, and more people would discover the potential of this consciousness work. The question is, how? Do you know of any way to reach out to Sam Harris, or do you know someone who might? If so - let me know and let's do this together! 🙏

I've emailed them many times through this address, they responded, but never went ahead with it. Email them, hope if they hear it from multiple places they might be more inclined: info@samharris.org

How easy it is to forget Consciousness Work
I spontaneously sat down for a solo contemplation just yesterday for the first time in a while and noticed something strange. Even though I think I practice this work a lot, most of it is still in the domain of life management. During the contemplation I got to a core part of my experience which I rarely visit. I was reminded how mindblowing this work actually is, when it is done for real. I know this experience is available, but it doesn't occur to me to visit amongst all the problems and challenges of life. Even when working on being complete, it is a life management driven endeavour. It feels great. Wanting the truth, being curious about the reality of anything is a different project. It is amazing how fast I forget the experience of practicing consciuosness work. By it's nature it is deep and goes to the core. It seems that the mind cannot remember depth. A memory of depth is nothing compared to the experience. Even when I had that expereience many many times. If I want it to make a real difference in my general life experience, if I want to have a more core, more real, deeper experience as my default, the only way around that is to expereience the depth now.

Investigating Emotions: Comfort
Thanks, Viktor, for the video and exercises! I'll let you know if anything comes up 👍 "Notice the constant drive to be comfortable. Do not ignore it, judge it, or make it wrong. Just see it as part of your experience. Watch how it shows up in your body, your choices, your relationships, your work, and your inner life. Then ask yourself: "How would my experience change if I did not care about comfort at all? How would my pursuit of truth change?" You do not have to become uncomfortable. Just see what becomes available when comfort is no longer the issue." Notice - if you only pursue comfort, what would happen? What happens in your career if you only pursue comfort? What happens in your relationships if you only pursue comfort? What happens in your life if you only pursue comfort?"

Donating the income from previous workshop
Hey all, I have facilitated a great Being Complete online workshop a few weeks ago and made some income on it but during the current phase of my life I'm not in need of it. For this reason I have decided to donate this amount to people that are interested in doing this work and are in genuine need of funds to finance their efforts. There is a limited amount at this point but if you wish to attend a workshop, please write an honest message to me about your situation, describing your geinuine interest and which workshop you'd like to attend. (please at this poing only consider one of the smaller ones). Best! V

Question on creating an offering/workshop
This question is mainly geared towards those that host their own workshops, and apprentices who have this skillset too. @Ethan Martin @Viktor Balogh @Brendan Lea @Corentin G @Rob van Ham @Elizabeth Saetia I have a variety of skillsets that I'd like to combine so I can serve others in a new and creative way. For example, I'm skilled in photography, active listening, and in nature adventures. I'd like to leverage these to create a powerful offering for others to get in touch with nature and with themselves. During the process of creating your workshops, what did you find was effective in helping others? Did you offer what has already helped you or combine many things? When do you know a workshop/offering is fully complete? Thank you!

Hey Nick, thanks for the question. From my perspective it always has to start with an experience you want to communicate and share. When you have clarity on this experience have a go at creating a way to get it across. The main difficulty lies in not just your ability and your clarity but in others. Sure you have to get skillful at communicating but that is not enough. You have to get them to the experience from where they are and that will vary a lot. Some will get it easier some much harder. I think use whatever tools you have - combine or not combine - each situation will dictate. Something I think is very important. Ralston is obviously a huge insiration for all of us but a key principle is that it also has to come from you personally. If you can own the topic, you have a far better chance of success. It's still going to be hard and take a lot of time, but that's just the nature of this work if you are realistic about it. About when you know it's complete - you will feel something like at this point it's a great programme/workshop or whatever. But after you do it, you'll probably find lots of places to improve and will need to incorporate lots of feedback. My main advice is to go out and do stuff! Try things out, have the courage to fail and then just keep improving. Be prepared, to be successful, it usually takes much more effort and time than you might expect but that does not mean it is not worth every second of it. Good luck! V
