Membership questionnaire

A spiritual, Buddhist or non-dual teacher? Do you attend retreats, satsangs, workshops or seminars on awakening?

If so, which one? Why do you want to join or change to another group?

Meditation, yoga, or similar…

Describe what you have been inquiring about and how!

If you already know that you have had traumatic experiences and these have not yet been treated, the effect of this enquiry can pull the rug from under your feet. By removing the self structure, all the defense mechanisms that have protected you from the trauma disappear. It would be wise to first find an appropriate treatment for the trauma so that you are not overwhelmed by it when the defense mechanisms are no longer effective.

This means that you are at least 25 years old and have completed your education.

Without honesty about everything that comes up, it doesn’t work. Are you ready to be honest about your experience, even if it means that it is not what you would like it to be?

Describe your experience of the self-illusion falling away and also mention what changed and how life felt afterwards.

Only fill in if the self illusion has been seen through.

Describe the process of your inquiry. What situations and sentences have you worked with? What did you experience?

The enquiry into the self illusion lives on dynamism and continuity. You should have the leisure to deal with it daily and write to me daily. It would be a hindrance if you had to divide your attention, for example because you have to study for an exam.

Are you willing to give up all beliefs? To let go of all concepts? To let go of any identification as a spiritual seeker, as a Buddhist – as whatever you believe you are, as whatever you identify yourself with?No gurus, lamas, teachers, dharma, retreats, satsangs, nonduality talks, fetter groups… Also put aside all spiritual and Buddhist books. Just as well as videos or audios. You would have to put aside everything that deals with the topics of enlightenment and awakening in general and with the self illusion, noself, nonduality, advaita, etc. in particular for the time of our enquiry.Keine Gurus, Lamas, Lehrer, Dharma, Retreats, Satsangs, Nonduality Talks, Fesselgruppen.. Lege auch alle spirituellen und buddhistischen Bücher beiseite. Genauso wie Videos oder Audios. Alles, was sich mit den Themen Erleuchtung und Erwachen im Allgeminen und mit der Ich Illusion, Noself, Nonduality, Advaita, etc. im Speziellen beschäftigt, müsstest du ruhen lassen für die Zeit unserer Untersuchung.

Nur deine eigene Erfahrung ist hier von Bedeutung. Vergiss alles, was du je gelesen, gehört und gelernt hast. Versuche alle Annahmen und Erwartungen Außen vor zu lassen.Ich werde dich nichts lehren. Du wirst nichts lernen. Wir führen keine Diskussion. Wir tauschen keine Argumente aus. Ich werde dir nichts beibringen, nichts erzählen, nichts erklären. Du wirst nicht reflektieren, in dich gehen, philosphieren, oder gar nachdenken.Only your own experience is of importance here. Forget everything you have ever read, heard and learned. Try to leave all assumptions and expectations out of the way.I will not teach you anything. You will not learn anything. We will not have a discussion. We will not exchange arguments. I will not train you, tell you, explain anything. You will not reflect, philosophize, or even think.I will ask questions and you will look for the answers in your own experience. That is your task! It is important to refer to direct experience when answering, not to thoughts, conclusions or assumptions. You want to see the truth directly!

Because that’s what will happen… Working with the 10 fetters is not a feel-good or wellness program. It is not about self-care or optimization. You will not always feel good during and after the process. This is not about mindfulness, self-love or a higher consciousness.

I will guide you for a monthly contribution of your choice. I am self-employed and the guidance will be deducted from my working hours. With a graduated contribution, I hope for a principle of solidarity. Low contributions from some people will be offset by higher contributions from others. As this is not working so well at the moment, I can only offer memberships from 80 euros.Bear in mind that we will be working together for quite a while. The work on the fetters can take 2 to 3 years. So you should be able to afford the contribution. I can only do a limited number of guides at a time. There are therefore a limited number of places that are allocated on a long-term basis.

It is necessary to be part of the group and attend the monthly Zoom meetings. For me, it’s very important to see you and talk to you from time to time. The experiences of others in this group can also be very helpful. In a way, we work as a group here.
