Skillful Means Series #11 Details

DATES & TIME 

11th, 18th, & 25th May 2024
 2-4 pm Eastern (New York) Time

This series is not to “prepare” you for awakening; it is to wake you up then and there. Most do.

Hello again, everybody!
Welcome, or welcome back!

Many of you are already familiar with our Skillful Means Series. They’ve been simply extraordinary, far surpassing our most hopeful wishes. During each series, I’ve had the pleasure of watching the majority of students wake up during the first session, which is a Group Awakening Session, and begin to clear during the two subsequent Clarity Sessions. Many have come to know True Nature while quietly but alertly self-applying the path of discovery that is unveiled. This series is not to “prepare” you for awakening; it is to wake you up then and there. Most do. Of those who don’t “get it” in the first session, the majority will recognize True Nature before the end of the course. A great many of our regularly participating students started with Skillful Means.
 
The series comprises one 2-hour Group Awakening Session and two subsequent 2-hour Group Clarity Sessions. They are held on three consecutive Saturday afternoons at 2:00 pm Eastern (New York time). 

Apparent magic happens. Most of you have been following this teaching either closely or casually long enough to know, or at least know of its effectiveness. If you’re someone who has not yet awakened or who has had a “temporary awakening experience,” please come and join us.

This may very well be the best chance you ever have of awakening. If you’re unfamiliar with this teaching, check out our Even More and Meetings pages. Scroll down and you’ll see testimonials from people just like you who found freedom through The Living Method, which is the birth mother of Skillful Means.
 
This Teaching has delivered, day after day, year after year, since it went online in 2011.

I can’t guarantee you will wake up because awakening simply doesn’t work like that. What I can tell you is that The Living Method has already worked for many hundreds of people and that, at the very least, you’ll have a marvelous opportunity to awaken. I will do my absolute best, and most or all participants will find freedom. All Skillful Means participants will receive complimentary Satsang on the Sundays after each Saturday session.

As always, seating is limited. Every Skillful Means Series typically sells out early, so we advise you to reserve your seat right away

All love, Fred 

Fred Davis

Fred Davis is a fully independent, global teacher of nonduality. He is not allied with any school, scripture, teacher, religion, or philosophy. Fred is very much a “regular” person, just like you. He wasn’t born awake or under a cabbage leaf beneath a harvest moon. He was a seeker for 24 years, thus he’s quite unable to declare himself a “quick study.” Fred is an ordinary sage, not a sacred saint. His life’s path is considered colorful by some and checkered by others. That’s probably true for you as well, which is the whole point. He woke up, so to speak, and so can you.

Teaching what is now known as The Living Method through the so-called Fred unit, began locally in 2010 and online in 2011. Over the last thirteen years, it has helped facilitate Realization for well over a thousand followers: perhaps closer to two thousand. The process has changed as experience has deepened, but the core of it remains precisely the same.

The Living Method is the very definition of “direct teaching.” It offers no path to Realization, which is the focus of most “sooning schools.”  There are many effective nondual teachers and methods; no one has a monopoly on Truth. For most of those using The Living Method, however, it is reliable and predictable; it usually takes about an hour to Realize. Once Awakeness itself comes out of denial, we start to focus on clearing. We are not trying to clear Awakeness up. Awakeness is always here and always clear. We use self-inquiry coupled with reason to clear the false ideas and behavior of an imaginary character out!

  • Waking up is now or never, here or nowhere. Nobody in the history of nonduality has ever woken up “soon!”  That whole notion is seen to be ridiculous and woefully self-defeating upon the Recognition of True Nature.

Fred did many practices in his days of “sooning.” He spent endless hours in meditation, meditative silence, and quiet reflection. He offered prayers of centering, submission, and supplication and practiced hatha yoga, yoga nidra, japa, visualization, and deep Self-inquiry, culminating in complete burnout. Burnout saved the day and offered freedom, but it took two years of relentless-to-the-point-of-being-unhealthy nondual inquiry before the peace of abidance as Consciousness Itself could be experienced—by Awakeness Itself.

Brian

SMS Participant

Hey Fred, I just wanted to express my gratitude one more time for the truly life-changing Skillful Means series, and the two Satsangs. And what a lovely group your Satsang members are! When I look back on how blessed the “Brian” life has been in terms of exposure to many of the top spiritual teachers on the planet over the past 30 years, I can say with confidence, and without hesitation, that none of them holds a candle to you and your Living Method – which is the truest Direct Path that I have encountered in all my years on the non-Path. And I have been with many teachers, monks, swamis, and gurus. I have been fortunate enough to spend time in retreat, and one on one time, with several of them. While in India, I spent several weeks (overall) with Ramesh Balsekar attending his daily Satsang in his condo in Mumbai (one of Nisargadatta’s translators). As influential as all of them have been – and I am grateful for all of them and their teachings – it always felt like something was missing….. like something was being held back (not on purpose necessarily, but still in reserve). Perhaps all of that only points to the adage, “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” As it turns out, the teacher has shown up in the guise of a “Fred Davis.” :o) Your method paints the seeker into a corner where there is nowhere to go except to see the Truth of what we are. So simple. So direct. So powerful. And so transforming and life-changing. Love, gratitude, and deep respect to you and Betsy for all you do.
