"This is a place for discussion of practice and conduct concerned with Awakening: the direct, experiential understanding of the nature of reality, and the human mind, as it actually is.

This is not a trivial matter, because those who investigate it deeply and sincerely invariably come to the conclusion that our most fundamental unconscious beliefs and assumptions about the nature of self, mind, and reality are false. Reality is not what it appears to be, and to fully grasp this is to radically transform our relationship to life.

The destruction of illusion is not an intellectual exercise: it requires a categorical restructuring of the deepest levels of mind, and for most this is possible only through sustained hard work. We call this work practice, and it's the greatest adventure a human being can undertake.

Many traditions throughout history have provided systems of knowledge and practice that can be of great help to those who walk this path. More recently, Awakening is coming to be understood in secular and even scientific terms.

Here you'll find a community that values honesty, compassion, and thoughtful discourse. We aim to keep discussion practical, civil, and constructive. Thanks for visiting!
