Having found the space where freedom lives on the Wheel of Life, where do we go from here? Before us is a path of unfolding positive mental states each arising naturally from the state before it. This week we will be exploring the ascent of the spiral path – the positive counter-part to the cyclical Wheel of Life. We will look at how this vision of positive conditionality can help guide an ever-deepening spiritual practice. During this theme we'll be looking at The Wheel of Life, a living symbol that encompasses the entirety of existence. We'll learn how to escape from the prison and sufferings of Samsara, towards ever increasing positive and expansive states of being, towards the ultimate goal of Awakening. We'll be taking a contemporary look at this ancient symbol, visiting it's realms and their beings from the depths of the hell realm to the heights of the heavenly abodes, and asking what do these realms look like in our modern society and world? Expect support for home practice, practical ideas of how to bring these traditional teachings into your everyday life, and reflections on how to make your Great Escape!
