Being Is: Dropping Beliefs and Restoring Balance
El Ser Es: Soltar Creencias y Restaurar el Equilibrio
This session explores the foundational truth that 'being is, non-being is not,' and how dropping deeply held beliefs restores natural balance. Through meditation and dialogue, participants examine the difference between flowing from presence and controlling from fear, the paradox of finding peace within life's hardest challenges, and the distinction between being and doing. Practical questions about creative effort, workplace decisions, and relationships ground the teachings in everyday experience.
