Knowing the Self Through Understanding The Mind -- Week of July 1-6 with Pierre Grimes, Ph. D.

Communications from the mind are as profound as they are utterly appropriate to our circumstances, for while the scope of the mind is pervasive; its precision is always directed to what is personally and philosophically significant. During this workshop, we will explore a new paradigm that offers a profound understanding of the way the mind functions and communicates with us for our benefit.

The self is always seeking completion; hence, our choice of goals, the problems we face, the daydreams and fantasies we have, the seemingly random thoughts that occur during our meditations and the dreams that visit us in our sleep—each and every one of them is a doorway into the richest source of insights into our lives. What we can discover through these insights is that the mind itself continually provides evidence of its own goodness and intelligibility.

The master craftsman of these communications
is called the Dream Master. Pierre Grimes has developed this path of self-discovery over many years. It has its roots in the Homeric/Socratic tradition. As we focus on our dreams and daydreams with the simple rules of this new paradigm, we are brought to an awareness that our everyday existence can be the doorway to the profound and that what is often ignored can be the key to our inner development. Please bring writing material and a small tape recorder for recording your dreams.
