Lecture: Sudden Awakening into Direct Realization With Eli Jaxon-Bear
FREE ADMISSION
Location: Havurah Temple- 185 N. Mountain, Ashland
Presentation Description:
All are welcome to come and investigate the silent truth of being. A short period of sitting in silence is followed by the opportunity to ask questions.
Copies of Eli Jaxon-Bear's new book "Sudden Awakening" will be available for signing.
"Eli's beautiful book evokes the timeless truth freshly and without dogma. The result is a thrilling response from what is deepest and most authentic in the reader."
- Gangaji, spiritual teacher and author of Freedom & Resolve.
"Using insights from psychology, astronomy, physics, and biology, Sudden Awakening is a contemporary rendering of ancient truths - and it also offers some new ones of its own. But more importantly, it gives the reader an experience of its title."
- Catherine Ingram, author of Passionate Presence.
Presenter's Biography:
Eli Jaxon-Bear was born Elliot Jay Zeldow in Brooklyn, New York, in 1947. His eighteen-year spiritual path started in 1971, when he was a federal fugitive during the Vietnam war. In 1978, Kalu Rinpoche appointed him the president of the first Kagyu dharma center in Marin County. In 1982, he was presented with a Zen Teaching Fan at ChoShoJi Zen Temple in Japan.
After a search took him around the world and into many traditions and practices, his path and his search ended when he was pulled to India in 1990, where he met his final teacher, Sri H.W.L. Poonja.
Confirming Eli's realization, his teacher sent him back into the world to share his unique psychological insights into the nature of egoic suffering in support of self-realization. Eli infuses the teaching with his teacher’s living transmission of Silence. He presents a unique map of egoic identification as a vehicle for ruthless self-inquiry and final realization of true freedom. He dedicates his life to passing on the transmission of his teacher.
Eli currently meets people and teaches through the Leela Foundation, a non-profit spiritual organization dedicated to world peace and freedom through universal self-realization.
He is the author of The Enneagram of Liberation: from fixation to freedom, and editor of Wake Up and Roar: Satsang with H.W.L. Poonja, Volumes 1 and 2. His new book, Sudden Awakening, was released by New World Library in September 2004.
