In this course, we will explore the direct experience of Awake Awareness, which is the core of the world�s mystical and non-dual teachings. Being Awake is our natural condition, not something that is created or earned. Most of us have not been aware of this overlooked dimension of consciousness because we have not known how to re-connect with it.
We can rediscover the freedom that is already here as we learn how to look, where to look, what to look for and who is looking. Loch presents an easy to understand framework for the paradoxical journey of waking up from our mistaken identity, waking in to an embodied life and waking out to relationship and activity.
Each class will include a talk, dialogue, meditation and inquiry aimed at helping us re-connect with Awake Awareness at any time. Each class builds upon the previous one, so that we can explore the process of awakening as it unfolds.
*The first class (2-21-10) is an open introductory session, for practitioners of all backgrounds, to see if this is a useful approach at this point in your life. You may take this class session as a stand alone class or if you wish to continue for the remaining three classes, you may upgrade your registration to the full course of study for an additional $235 Public, $215 OSIS student or Alumni.

This will allow attending students as well as distance learners to access all class sessions. Please note: The audio recording of the class is not a broadcast on the day of the class, but will be available as a downloadable file, usually on the Tuesday after class. The written transcript will be ready as soon as it is available.
