Basic Notes for Any Retreat - (5177)

Introduction

Here are some basic notes to know for any Gnostic retreat that we can go to.

Notes

There are always two retreats. The external retreat with its activities and the participants and the internal retreat that we live inside of ourselves during the retreat.

The external and internal may be different. 

Accustom yourself to the retreat so to do the actual retreat. Don't try to change everything to do 'your' retreat. 

If we bend the retreat to do 'our' retreat then others will have to do 'our' retreat. Which is selfish and maybe it is not useful for them.

Each retreat is designed to make the participants function in a certain way so to facilitate certain opportunities for the consciousness in the retreat.

Retreats are often bitter-sweet. We experience new insight yet we see more the reality of ourselves that needs work.

Come to a retreat to 'undo' rather than learn, acquire and gain lots things... Not to 'have' but to 'be'.

Each retreat we activate more our essence. Each retreat shows us how far away we are from living the life of our essence.
