"Okay, welcome everybody. You can tell it's late summer. Nice to see you all. So, I think most of you, maybe almost everyone has been here before, so you know the drill. We're going to do an hour-long meditation, a guided meditation, and then after that I'll say some stuff and then you guys will maybe have comments or reports or things you want to say, or maybe ask a question."
"And then beyond that, step two, if you have any figures or principles that you are devoted to, what are you devoted to? Bring up those figures or principles now and feel your devotion. Oftentimes, there's some resistance to that word. But this is incredibly important, foundational really. I'm just not telling you who to be or what to be devoted to. You have to decide. But you must be devoted to something."
Session begins with an hour-long guided meditation, followed by verbal remarks, participant comments or questions, and concluding meditation. Practice opens with embodiment and stretching exercises to ground the body. Participants are instructed to find a personal intention and recall figures or principles that inspire devotion. Devotion is presented as foundational and must be chosen consciously to avoid unconscious attachments. The thinking mind is acknowledged and honored but temporarily set aside without suppression or stopping. The practice emphasizes resting in spaciousness by not engaging active thought while allowing thinking to continue.
