Living Outside the Box
By Azar Baksh and Ravani Rah Weiner
Here is a link to four YouTube audio recordings of this series of classes which was presented at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Corpus Christi:
The journey toward awakening described by many spiritual traditions aims for a deeper understanding of ourself and the world we live in. This journey is not a linear one, but requires an openness to letting go of fixed assumptions.
In this series of 4 classes, we explore ways to discover
• A way of relating to people and circumstances in our lives that brings unexpected transformation
• A much richer world than what is perceived through our five senses
• Everyday miracles which bring joy to us and people we know
• The story of our life as our unique gift to all of creation
We will learn ways to deepen our capacity to be present with each other and to work with energy in the interdependent web of existence in which we are part. Through altering our perspectives, we can live in a world full of unlimited possibilities.
The third class is on Creatively Unfolding the Allegory of our Soul.
The fourth class is on Living in a Transformed World – learning to remove our filters and overlays that keep us from being in our natural state in a transformed world.
Many quotes are included from Pir Vilayat, such as:
“If you seek beauty it will elude you. If you unfurl the beauty latent in your being it will attract beauty. This is the reason why seeking for the angel in the heavens is misleading. Instead, find the heavenly dimensions of your being and the environment will be transformed.”
