30th July 2001

on that evening of July 30th July 30th 2001 this district breakthrough occurred and each and all of the men at the same time simultaneously entered into this state of an EV of a of an evolutionary non-duality of of a state of shared ecstatic oneness where everybody was mutually aware of this tremendous forward reaching intelligence that was there was surging through all of them and the miracle of it was that they that they were aware of the fact that they were all ecstatically aware of none of the Bliss of non duality of oneness in a way that was completely overwhelming and were simultaneously aware of their own uniqueness and and in the presence of the oneness the oneness that was surging towards the future was not obliterating their their awareness of their own uniqueness their always happening in the same place in the same space so this did this was a this this was a state a state of consciousness in which the which the mind and south of the individual was suddenly being animated by this creative intelligence and they were all aware that this was all happening at the same time and their and they and they began to bear witness to what they were experiencing and this intelligence began to speak through different individuals and it was the same force it was the same spiritual force I was speaking in a very unique way through the two different individuals and they were all aware of it and they would they were speaking from the same place that I speak to and when I teach so what I want to do now is I want to read some some testimonials to Joe he will give you will give you a sense of the excitement of what was happening and not all of these letters I'm going to read to you are from that particular Eve they're not for not that they're not event but because we had many of these breakthroughs and I'm not sure which is which but maybe before I read them I want to I want to maybe tell more of the story that I'm just coming from the mind so so this breakthrough happening I'm gonna read to me to you about what happened but then of course it everybody knew that once this breakthrough had happened that something for our community was different because now everybody knew what I've been talking about I've been talking about this stuff for years and different things that happened when people didn't really get it now they said oh I know I understand this is exactly what he meant so suddenly the goal of all of our practice and all of the pressure I've been putting on people everybody said me understood this is why this is it's for all this and this is more than worth it this is this is everybody knew that we never at that time in 2000 we'd never heard of any wouldn't know we never heard of any subjective non-duality we never heard of an Enlightenment that's a shared state experience let alone enlightenment but to share that's a shared state of consciousness that's reaching towards the future I never heard of anything like it and neither had they and we knew that we were really onto something but then there were there were well maybe I'll just read the letters another time where the story I want to finish this is from a fellow named Dave he says dear Andrew you are meeting tonight the shift occurred but instead of going into the familiar clarity and ecstasy of what we had come to identify as the authentic self we found ourselves face to face with consciousness that was wild churning and chaotic it was totally disarming and disorienting absolutely engaging and completely thrilling it blew apart everything we thought we knew about the process of conscious evolution It was as if we adventure outside of the zone of domesticated consciousness were pioneers in the new frontier of consciousness has yet to be tamed and we knew that we were not alone in this exploration that in fact the hole had been blasted in the mineshaft of consciousness and we were simply tapping that new vein of gold that Fox Hollow had already discovered god knows what happens next I wouldn't be anywhere else or anyone else in this with a blown mind and a nun conflicted heart day so as you see most of them have a level of thought there's a cruiser there's a force of nature so this is from Chris who was one of my closest senior students who ran a center in London this is from October 2002 dear Andrew I am stunned awed and bursting with joy that it is a new dawn something has shifted it will never be the same again evolutionary and Lightman has been unleashed and your efforts of all these years have finally led to this seismic explosion and leap in consciousness that is irrevocable each day is a new universe the women had what sounded like a momentous worldwide phone call bring them all up to speed and the fire left across the fire break of the Atlantic Ocean to engulf everyone in its path and become even stronger the men here in London are way different than ever before the phone call the phone call catapulted everyone and I literally mean everyone into enlightened mind guru mine and now it is working on all of us now the guys understand what you always said impersonal enlightenment is a raging forest fire with no connection to lighting a match because I made this distinction earlier my teaching that what's the difference between personal enlightenment and impersonal in life and I said the difference between a burning match in the raging forest fire now this is everyone's experience impersonality is now living fact every deepening as we give expression to it and not something to aim towards but identical with ecstatic intimacy you can see the teachings exploding into life as his forest grows and the more everyone speaks about and gives their attention to this unknown and captivating enlightened consciousness the more it is able to speak through us as us and the more it can manifest and the momentum is growing and then the real Brotherhood that is instantly between the men you speaking about the women earlier that is of a completely different order that is a fact and it's only the truth it is one voice what a miracle after all these years this really is the beginning of something extraordinarily sacred which I have longed to have happen this is from a fella named Peter Mitchell a new being has been born consciousness freed from the individual no longer just a potential but in actuality unleashed in this world as an entity unto itself that is none other than our true self its power is growing with every meeting the depth that is revealed goes off to scale this is not the possession of any single man present we were all aware that we were seeing through the eyes of something unbelievably greater than any one of us yet that depended on everything being given from everyone to give it life it is alive it is life itself and in its presence we are released into our true humanity this is a new time the old is being swept away in the face of this tidal wave it is gaining momentum ego cringes in the face of its magnificence and burns up in it's searing flame of true understanding all any of us can do is bow down oddly before it purifies ourselves for its sake and give our lives to its bidding for all eternity here we go this this is another one last night we literally reach critical mass and exploded as more and more voices expressed the same dauntless conviction the transformative power left off the scale of anything we've experienced before the change in just 24 hours was truly phenomenal as we plunge deeper and deeper into ecstatic intimacy we were a tornado absolutely out of control a raging forest fire burning and consuming all ignorance and separation in our way revelation after revelation as the living understanding of the sweetest perfection of your teaching unraveled in front of our eyes the emerging presence of the mystery that can never be known all it recognizes is one and it's not a seek and Destroy mission against all separation we were on our knees before this miraculous phenomena impersonal enlightenment the likes of which has never been experienced or expressed what is happening in just 72 hours heralds unbelievable revolutionary possibilities for mankind we're on our knees in gratitude and reverence this explosive force is unstoppable none of us have any idea where we are going and yet undeniably this is why with you to be consumed in the white heat of her perfect communion this is from someone named Matt who says it's all this really happening can it really be that what has never happened is now happening and that it is really happening between us through us as us has humanity and the concept of what it means to be a human being just taken a giant immeasurable leap into the fourth dimension I knew in the deepest cells in my body that something had never been entered through the door I knew that's but that's something that had never been entered through the doors of possibility and declared itself as real in our last meeting we stumbled upon the potential for this as a handful of us only two weeks ago the force of confidence of strength of demand is literally bringing me into full frustration before it every day and it is only getting stronger but the revolutionary over power and all-consuming effect that this has on a body of a body of twenty five of us who have in recent times seemed completely lost is of a different order altogether this is impersonal in like mint this is what actually in personal enlightenment does everything that the teachings say and everything that you personally are an expression of are now becoming alive now being reborn every moment has us not just you or your perfect teachings but a human event in time and space but between us the one and the many indistinguishable fullness emptiness it really is the same thing one event is happening I'm left in the most unbelievable place I would never have imagined I am no more than I ever have been I have ever been in fact I'm sure that I'm less than I have been before ever been before who let ever I literally feel under new management it's actually hard to describe because Who I am is right now and it is not who I was five seconds ago ocean waves of bliss overwhelming and then I'm left orderly empty not knowing what it is what is going on at all and somehow both these experiences are the very same I had no idea what's possible to love this to love life as much dear Andrew thank you for allowing us to thank you for allowing us to be for free for your inspiring meeting today for your meeting with us afterwards and for somehow pushing us over the edge into this miraculous impersonal evolutionary explosion that has not been there like that between us in over a year I don't even know what to say my nervous system is lit up like a Christmas tree right now after the events of the last four hours I don't even know exactly what happened I just felt like I just felt like through a willingness to be true to what had so had resonated so deeply in all of us when the women spoke we suddenly found ourselves entering another dimension of being and the more and the more people spoke from it the more intense it grew much like August 2001 there was a kind of wild energy surging in the room and at times a sense that anything could happen but there was also a more rooted quality of deeper autonomy that was there before somehow reinforced and empowered by the Hellenic evolutionary structure you have built which also revealed the tangible gaps that do exist it is truly awesome and the transformative potential of even one meeting feels off the scale one enters another dimension where the mysterious relationship between individuality collectivity and this cosmic impersonal animating force becomes endlessly fascinating and ever self revealing and in which it wants to be known around the circle people describing their experience as that of submission to a force that has conscious intent my own experience was of being so completely taken over by it that at times I couldn't relate to any solid sense of myself at all all morning there has been a thrilling sense of the infinite potential that was unleashing itself between us last night Wow just cut film couple more this is from a woman named Melissa she says it is that which wants to happen in unimaginable ways whenever we gather in its name the delicate and rare recognition of our own humanity forming perfectly and new in each moment regardless of what has come before is your incalculable gift to us as we spoke and the circle widen it seemed like one structure of relationship was giving way to another and one could observe the shifting of boundaries from the old to the new and the fact that we were conscious of it consciously groping our way into a new dimension was perhaps the most extraordinary quality of what was occurring imperfect beings aware of our conditioning consciously choosing to evolve our attention expanded and we could see the structure of the universal spirit incarnate as many using us as its mouthpiece revealing the perfection of being a vast impersonality that rendered our notions of personal significance completely obsolete why knew that this bigness is our destiny the conversation that ensued soared us into the incredibly natural and engaged territory of evolution and enlightenment as soon as we began speaking a palpable feel of consciousness was present accompanied with the estatic hunger to go further to evolve by the time we rose from our chairs we were lighter more intimate with the evolution of consciousness itself and more fascinated by its dynamics we were more in awe of the evolutionary significance of our own human lives as universal spirit incarnate there were two very fascinating dimensions occurring simultaneously in our experience when having to do with the outright expression each woman on her own of her own experience and the other having to do with the recognition of the hunger of developing consciousness for the pure and authentic expression of each specific woman regardless of how much or how little experience she may have had we collectively we collectively became aware of this longing for authenticity and watched how when this demand is the climate of our gathering there is the miraculous accommodation for ever more dimensions and subtleties of experience and consequently a possibility we became aware of how a new criterion for perception for discrimination for enunciation arises in concert with the larger consciousness enveloping us as if the new being is insisting upon its own continued of unfolding pulling new capacities from us in order for its collect for its development to occur we spoke about so much about the evolution from ego consciousness to liberated consciousness and saw how our participation increased as our participation increased the liberating power and cognition of the being forming between us is from another woman named Ellen dear Andrew how did is how to begin to describe what happened last night it was an unprecedent explosion amongst us women this has never happened before among so many of us this uncontainable force expanding with no obstructions pulling more and more people into its field moving faster than any of us could keep up with yet we were all completely together in it the field of impersonality that the teachings created was so strong that there was no limitation on who could be there more and more women were magnetically pulled by this force the situation felt so can contain we were all leaning in evolving responding seeing transformation occurring before our eyes it felt like the essence of what it means to be a human being was starting to reveal itself the fact that we are these conscious beings within from the evolutionary impulse finds its expression as conscience who can choose for that and make it make possible the kind of miracle that we're beginning to experience together it is awe-inspiring endlessly fascinating this ungraspable dynamic tension between autonomy and communion which is all playing out right here in our own experience when we were just interested enough to begin to look we had no idea sorry we had no idea what was happening but this consciousness would not allow hesitation all our ideas of even what it means to struggle were being turned on their heads the surge in consciousness took us all way beyond what we thought was our own experience and yet as every person spoke there was a sense of recognition as if the boundaries of individuals were literally giving way to a greater experience which was at the same time only informed by the authenticity of each individual's expression there is capital letters no limitation to this miracle and we have no idea where it is taking us but it undeniably has an agenda it undeniably has an agenda and it's demanding that more and more women dare to leap beyond the personal and be consumed by it
