This afternoon intensive in Chicago, 2003, was broadcast in Real Time Simulcast to the Kripalu Center in Massachusetts, The Religious Science Center, in Fort Lauderdale, Ryerson University, in Toronto and also County Galway, Ireland.

In a conversation filmed in Spain, Michael Brown shares with us how feeling is the next step in the evolution of human consciousness. To be joyous doesn't mean we are happy all the time, but that we are able to allow ourselves to feel everything that arises in us. We either live our life driven by an emotional charge, or we are in charge. When we are in charge instead of driven by a charge, we respond to situations instead of reacting to them.

- The movement of needing to add 'more' to yourself.

- The fate of being a spiritual seeker - the 'seeking' movement.

- Awakening out of the stream of thinking.

- The renunciation of thought is the renunciation of past-future.

- Renounce the need for the next moment.

- The antagonistic attitude towards life - the illusion of 'me' gets strengthened through fighting what is.

- Why should I allow something to be . . . ?

This live recording takes us on an intimate journey through The Presence Process with Michael Brown in a manner that enhances our ability to facilitate ourselves through this unique emotional cleansing procedure. It awakens us to the insights out of which The Presence Process is born and gently guides us through the entire 70 day procedure. If we have not yet entered this Process experientially through the book, this recording fully prepares us for the adventure.

In this exploration of what Michael calls “emotional body awareness,” we are introduced to breathing as a tool for accelerated integration.  Inviting us to enter into a state of awareness beyond the confines of the mental, this talk takes us beyond personal healing into an awareness of our place in planetary evolution.

Inner Directions Gathering - March 2000
Themes:
Why is it 90% of history is a history of insanity . . ?
Every life story is ultimately unsatisfying.
Embedded in the very structure of the mind is a deep need for unhappiness.
You don't need to suffer anymore. It takes no time at all to be who you are.
Go beyond your life situation to a place of greater depth.
Walk as a blessing on the earth.
