The Vision
Imagine waking up every morning feeling so grateful for the dawn, the world, for your body, your breath, for your life. Falling deeply in love with life every day. Living your personal Heaven on Earth.
​
The vision for Beyond Satori is that for everyone. Living from your heart's desire. There is not one state that is better than another, but daily joy sure does feel good. It makes the world turn with grace and we each are filled with love not only for ourselves but for each other. Peace is felt not through manipulating the outer world it is an inside job. It is the abiding state that is always residing within us that our shift in perception allows us to experience.
There is not one way to get to this, but I hope to create and provide resources to enough people so that we can, like a flame, light each other's candle.
​
The vision beyond this vision, is to create spaces for community, to live, work, school and be together in a way that satisfies, soothes and nourishes our very being. To create homes that are inclusive for all with a shared vision to live in peace, harmony in beauty with all of Creation. It is my intention to focus the use of the profits from Beyond Satori to fund the community projects.
About Charmain
"Before enlightenment; chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood and carry water.' This Zen Koan reminds me to ask the question, before enlightenment who is chopping wood and carrying water? After enlightenment who is chopping wood and carrying water? Does it ever really change?
​
After my own awakening journey, which continues, I discovered that behind everything that I have ever experienced, seemingly good or bad, or traumatic, lies immense love, joy, bliss and neutrality, our natural state. There has been no experience which was not a portal to our most natural state. It is always there, always available, waiting for us to remember it. It springs up when we surrender to what is. When we realise there is really nothing to do. That does not mean of course that we stop chopping wood and carrying water, but who is chopping that wood and carrying that water has changed. Or at least appears to have changed. It is our abiding nature who is now in service. As we disappear, dissolve, we realise that we are the field, we are the wood that is being chopped and the water that is being carried. We are the entire experience, we are both the Experiencer, and as the human, the experience. That state brings a sense of liberation, which is simply a natural occurrence as the energy flows, and it is already ours. It is not something that we create, it has already been created. We are simply the experience of that moment of realisation.
​
Beyond Satori was born from the desire that we can all access that state. Its is not special, it is very normal, what we are. There is no difference between liberation and bondage, but the way the energies are moving through me within the field in this moment creates a desire in me for all to experience our natural, blissful state. For us then to bring this into our everyday lives, so that it is a lived and embodied experience, not solely a transcendent state, but it is alive within the world. From that place we envision our lives and walk our most beautiful paths. I have created resources to help us to do that.
