The quality of Will is down to earth, grounded, solid and can bring more depth and subtlety to our inquiry which is felt in our physical body. Will provides the steadfast inner support to stay with our experience without rejecting or judging what we encounter on the inner journey.
This retreat is part of a series of teachings we are presenting on the qualities of our being known as the Lataif. The Lataif can be thought of as tools for our unfoldment; qualities that help us understand ourselves at our deepest nature. These are subtle qualities that include aspects such as strength, will and support, peace, courage, joy, and compassion.
Most of us spend our lives within a thin layer of reality, unaware of the deeper realms of our consciousness.
What we call emotional reality—the layer where most people believe human richness lies—is onion-skin deep compared to the totality of reality.
Beneath this thin layer of emotions and thoughts lie indescribable beauty and freedom.
Many people wander in that onion-skin layer forever, but in the inquiry process, it’s a layer we need to go through and not get stuck in.
To support us in this movement into and through our emotions, reactions, and beliefs, the White or Will Essence—plays an important role.
