Confirming call coming up this weekend on this new format and judgements.

A major distinction we can make in this work is "doing vs. being". Essentially, we spend 99% of our days "doing" stuff. And this isn’t just about physical activity: thinking and planning are also forms of doing. Even "trying to be" is ironically a form of doing. Nearly all this "doing" is driven by self-survival, which in turn leads to suffering and a lack of clarity. In Consciousness Work, even though we recognize the pervasiveness of our primitive self-survival reflexes, we also try to expand our scope beyond that. And there are two directions to do this: 1) Leaning toward more "being". This is the goal of our Being Complete workshop. or 2) Improving the quality of our "doing". This is the goal of our Four Principles workshop. Basking in pure being forever would be nice. But since we'll keep "doing" things until we die, we might as well remove as much BS from this as we can, and focus on how to do stuff in the most conscious way possible. The main tool we recommend to achieve that is to follow Principles. Our 6hr Principles workshop held on March 21 (next saturday) has been crafted to address this precise issue. When you align with Principles: - You know where you're going - You stop fighting yourself - You realize you may not be as stuck as you thought - You stop leaking energy on things that don't matter and more good stuff. See you there :)

In this post, I will be selling you stuff. But also, it's not about the money (90% is reinvested in maintaining this community anyway). No: I just want to convince you to join the 4 Principles workshop on March 21. It's about the Principles that should be the foundation for EVERYTHING we do in life. If I had to forget everything I've learnt, start life over, and be teleported back to kindergarden, I would keep maths and grammar for later. Instead, I'd wish this workshop would be the first thing I'm being taught. Yeah I know I'm supposed to optimize this post for marketing and so on. But anyway: are you serious about life or not? Because then, you simply HAVE to study this stuff. By the way, we are running a BIG PROMO right now. But it ends today! (sorry, not trying to create a FOMO. I'm simply late at making this post) This "Founding Participant Window" helps us see in advance who is committed, so this entire business is easier to manage. If you get your 4 Principles workshop ticket during the window (again: that means "today", friday 13) you also receive an insane bonus package: - New 4-week Principles Embodiment Training Program: a program designed to help you implement the principles in your daily life. Only available to founding participants. Not sold separately. - "Principles for Life Mastery" video course by Brendan Lea (normally sold $199) - 2 months of Private Group Coaching: Live group coaching with Brendan Lea (normally sold $98) On March 28, we are also running a Limiting Beliefs Contemplation Day, which complements the 4 Principles workshop very well. Pick one belief that's keeping you stuck, and pursue it until you reach its foundation and free yourself from it. And you can also get 50% OFF for this contemplation event if you register today. For real, you should take advantage of all this. That's it. See you there.

I'm pleased to announce that @klaus-peters-4195 will be in France near Grenoble for a Cheng Hsin workshop on March 21st and 22nd. More information in the flyer 😉
