Exposing Unquestioned Assumptions:
a few choice words
The most refined spiritual paths are rife with fiction.
But not in the way that you may think. I'm not saying that actual precepts are untrue, although that could be the case. No, I'm pointing to more subtle fiction. It's the fiction that is born of filtered perception.
Filtered perception clouds what is. It converts what is into what you think is. Voila! Instant fiction created by simple lack of awareness or unconscious fear and judgment, only its not obvious that fear and judgment are influencing your perception because...well...they're unconscious!
It's easy to spot other people's unconscious fear and judgment. It's especially obvious in "them." But when was the last time you took a long-standing, cherished belief to task and asked yourself, "Self, what does this mean, actually?" "I hear that my ego is my enemy, but what is my ego actually?" "Where does it actually exist?" "What is it made of?" "How does it work?" "Why should I be afraid of it...or should I?"
I ask myself these questions a lot--about a lot of things--and I continually arrive at a very fascinating realization. Things are not what we think they are. First of all, they're not even things! They're habits of perspective, living experiences that have fossilized into static thoughtforms. When you shift perspective back to living, breathing, in-the-moment loving awareness, that "thing" disappears and is replaced by a spaciousness of clarity and freedom.
Now, assumptions are rarely just your own. They are likely shared and held by millions of other minds as mass beliefs, less commonly known as memes. Imagine living on a flat earth or under the assumption that there is an endless supply of trees to cut and grind...or that women are inferior. Did I get a rise out of you there? I hope so. There is nothing more limiting or potentially lethal than an unquestioned assumption, a belief about the way things are that some, or many, never think to challenge.
Part of my mission on earth is to disturb the peace. It's not really peace, it's more like that sleep that happens when you doze off just after the last snooze alarm dies down. For a brief time your body lulls you back into a sonambulistic reverie until suddenly you jolt upright, realizing an hour has masqueraded for a minute. Your leisure has vanished but if you focus, you'll make it just in time.
Good morning! It's OK. Breathe. Feel your feet. Feel your body. Feel your heart, your smile. Warm your eyes. Whatever you do, don't leave the moment behind without warming your eyes. Remember...who you really are and why you're here.
It's alright, we'll make it. We're right on time. Just don't go back to sleep. Oh, yeah...and you are loved. You are loved more than your imagination can hold. ALOHA ~
"Core Awakening Journey provided the piece that I sensed was missing, but could not name - the experience of really bringing that connection home into my physical body.
My experience of what it is to be human is forever transformed. Thank you, Jitendra."

"I discovered [Core Awakening Journey] and as a result, I have fallen in love with myself...I now feel safe in the world, and know that whatever comes into my life is a gift... Before Core Awakening Journey, I thought I had to have romantic love. Now I am love.
Core Awakening Journey has also lessened my experience of pain in my body. Jitendra showed me how to decrease my painful MS symptoms by teaching me how to breathe differently. Even though my pain still comes and goes, I don't feel like a victim of it. I can change it."
~ Susan Lamb, Author,
San Diego, CA
"Core Awakening Journey has helped me discover where I'm holding back in my life and why.
But best of all, it taught me how to alchemize that energy and integrate those fixations into a loving creative space, into which I can fully express myself and live a more authentic and fulfilling life."
~ Beth Bolwerk, Singer,
San Diego, CA
"I got clear on the most important relationship in the world, and that is the one of myself to myself. I got real world tools to continuously expand my ability to receive and give love. I am so much more calm about myself and the world I operate in. My capacity to love has gone to new depths in my body.
This training is real and validates the human experience.”
~Jorge Valenzuela, Professional Soccer Coach, Seattle, WA
“[Core Awakening Journey] has no comparison because of its uniqueness. What a magnificent gift of love.”
~ Sayomi Marsh, Artist, San Diego, CA

Have you ever entertained any of these thoughts?
- "My ego is my enemy. I've got to fight it."
- "Attachment is the source of suffering. I better not want too much."
- "I've got to get rid of these bad feelings. I'm a bad person and wrong for having them."
- "Enlightenment isn't realistic. It's something other people achieve. Besides, I probably don't deserve it."
- "I should be able to tolerate anything from anyone...or else I'm not a loving and spiritual person."
These thoughts were certainly mine at one time. They haunted me and fueled my covert misery. So covert, I managed to hide it even from myself. On the surface? I was detached, cool, mellow and above it all. You know..."spiritual."
