Free Awareness Training Programs

Dear All,

I wish to let you know that I am starting free Awareness Training Programs (ATP’s) on my forum. All are free to join.

[B]What is such a Training Program all about?[/B]

An ATP consists of three aspects mainly:

1: A group of people
2: A practice, or Way of raising Awareness
3: A given period of time in which we will commit to the practice

[B]Basically it is just a sharing program[/B] in which a group of people commits to supporting each other in remaining aware as much as possible. Each participant will receive their own topic in which they will write daily updates on their experiences and discoveries. Other participants can then support them if wished for.

[B]I started this because I often feel that a forum’s material remains 90% intellectual.[/B] To really integrate it with our day to day life seems to be rare. I belief these Training Programs will help to make wisdom more practical and establish a steady level of awareness and a constant flow of self-remembering; self awareness in each of us.

Each Awareness Training Program has a theme of its own. There are many approaches to the same timeless freedom, many angles to the same truth. We are starting our first program the 1st of this August and this one’s theme is: “Free From Desire”

If you wish to participate you will need to 1) Register an account, and 2) Sign up for the ATP in the appropriate forum, before the first of August.

Love & Light,
Bentinho.

Hello all,

I am starting a new Awareness Training Program (ATP) which is free for everyone to join.

This one is called: [U]ATP#2: “Free From Belief in Appearances”[/U]

In it we will examine how our automatic belief in whatever appears in our mind is the cause of our limited perception. I will provide some teaching and instructions, along with the general theory and examination of this process in each of us, and if you wish you can participate in the 14-day Awareness Training Program (ATP).

All that is required is that you register an account so you can make posts on that forum (see signature), and you are kindly asked to post a little update on your experiences every day. By doing this, we as a group will commit to recognizing this process of believing in appearances (thoughts, emotions, feelings, states of mind, things, situations, stories etc.) for the two weeks period and I guarantee you that you will all experience much greater depth and freedom in your being after being consistent with this for 2 weeks straight and with the support and instructions you will get from the other participants and myself.

We are all there to support each other in deepening our direct experience of our already free nature. Which is accessible right now and in any situation. We just need to learn how to see that.

Namast? Betinho,

It looks like you are a fellow countryman! Please, could you tell me something about the origin of your teachings? It looks like you come from a buddhist background. Pray, what is your lineage? Who is your teacher and your teacher’s teacher? Thank you.

Hello Willem,

So it seems we are countrymen. haha.

I come from none tradition yet I have studied some with intensity. I come from no one teacher yet I have met and shared with many sorts of teachers. I have no lineage either. Sorry to disappoint ;).

The origin of my teaching comes from recent revelations which confirmed that for which I was always already seeking and felt was possible. These revelations are still continuing to become immensely clearer and more profound and stable by the day. The way I express it is partially due to my own language and intention for directness and partially combined out of the knowledge I gained from other teachings and teachers over the last few years. I wish to bring to the world (I’ve always wished to bring this to the world) the most direct, simple and effective ‘way’ to see what we already are. I wish for everyone to feel the blessing and love of no longer having to exert ourselves into a path of judgment, effort and achievement. Since recent times I feel confident and rooted enough to really start such activity/intention. Before this recent time I could speak about what I felt and knew, but it was not yet present enough in my experience to really be trustworthy towards others. If I would have started sharing as much as I do now, but without the confidence in the actual experience of Awareness, I would have had to pretend to fully feel this knowledge rather than it truly being that way most of the time.

These Awareness Training Programs I have just recently started are a sharing program which effectively integrate theory with practical application and experience throughout our everyday life. They are the beginning of a teaching and support platform I have yet to define.

So at this point there is not yet one uniform package or teaching, rather I just share as much as I can at this point and from that gradually I will try to form such an immediate and self-loving teaching. My intention has always been to make it as clear as possible and leave out as much misleading concepts as possible. I’ll see how things go from here. I do no longer feel dependent on my mission though, so it can take shape however it will. We’ll see :).

Love,
Bentinho.

Looks nice. Maybe when you start it up again I’ll try to join.

Hey Yuj, I will start a new one in a week or two.

In the meanwhile, there is an OPEN ATP going on (just started it) in which you can update, question, share etc. continuously whenever you like. It has no specific subject, so the general idea is that you are devoted to recognizing the natural presence of awareness throughout all experience. Any doubts or experiences that come from this ‘practice’ you are free to share there:

Open ATP: The continuous recognition of Free Awareness

Love,
Bentinho.
