Halloween Class

Instructor brought in some guests. East Indian man was quite interesting. He had left his home at the age of 12 and started living and wandering in the jungle. He lived close to nature and near the many animals. He lived there for many years. During that time, he went 9 years without speaking. Somehow (no one asked for the details), he became injured and had a spinal cord problem that he was told would prevent him from ever walking again.

While immobilized, he began to question "who" or "what" was inside his shell of a body. He didn't ask for a cure, but pursued a line of questioning (seeking) that would reveal to him the truth of who was witnessing inside his self. That line of inquiry led him to an awakening that happened to cure his spinal cord injuries. He's fully mobile now.

His admonition to all of us in the class--look inside--discover who is at the core of our beings. Don't be distracted by the possible outcomes--search diligently for the truth of we are. We are not our bodies, minds, thoughts, illnesses, achievements, and so forth. We are beyond all such things--more than we can imagine.
