Nonduality as Revolution

This location is shown only to members

Revolution is defined as "a sudden, complete or marked change in something." The word is derived from the Latin revolvere meaning "turn, roll back." It refers to the general sense of the "instance of great change in affairs."

Nonduality refers to a world view that is beyond the pairs of opposites, beyond good and bad, beyond life and death, beyond light and dark or right and wrong. Since we mostly live in a dualistic world of good and evil, you and me, them and us, it is certainly a revolution of the spirit when suddenly we come to value the nondual point of view which transcends the pairs of opposites.

Strangely, the revolution is not a single event but an evolution, as well. We come to see the transcendence of good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark. However, we also accept and embrace them. Kahlil Gibran wrote:

If I accept the sunshine and warmth,

then I must also accept

the thunder and lightning.

A life in which all is accepted is revolutionary. It is transcendent. It is beyond life and death while experiencing life and death. The revolution of spirit, or as others have called it, the revolution of the heart, the inner revolution, is a complete change in perception.

Perhaps you are living the revolution. Perhaps you sense it. Perhaps you feel the revolution coming. And maybe you want to enjoy the company of people who understand this revolution.

Join us for an open discussion in which everyone is heard and no one is the ultimate authority.

Please note that we are meeting at the Lion's Head this time and not Hollis Street. There is no entry fee. The Lion's Head is quiet on Sunday evenings. Look for a red and white MeetUp sign on a large table probably in back somewhere. See you there.

    Lots of good discussion on acceptance, welcoming, and surrender, in a practical sense, and how a revolution in perception may arise from this. How do we live our lives with the urge to do something we're meant to do without knowing what it is? What in intelligence? How does it relate to thinking, feeling, and being? How about presence? The great revolution is surrender to grace, which might be called the felt force of presence or intelligence or love. These were some of the topics we walked around and developed. This was yet another rewarding and enjoyable encounter with people serious about a true way to live.

    Wherein the world can you go to meet, people in whom the waters of life run deep?
