We have composted our relationship with the Oneness Movement and changed our name to Centre for Inner Freedom.

You can read why in the letter below. Or you can just surf directly to Inner Freedom...

Samsoe April 27, 2010

Dear friend
 
We have been through an intense winter and now spring is here with so many beautiful flowers.
 
Just like winter is a time where old leaves and last year’s fruits are being composted, we have come to a point in our lives where we have decided to compost our relationship with the Oneness Movement - so this letter is about the compost and the new flowers in our work :o)
 
Compost
 
Since our breakthroughs 6 years ago we have shared some of the wonderful teachings of the Oneness Movement in our retreats and workshops. At the same time we felt the need to detach ourselves from the organizational structures and power struggles in the Oneness Movement and chose to be silent about most of the delusions we also perceived in the movement.
 
With all the recent changes it no longer feels authentic to have our work directly associated with Oneness Movement. We have been in dialogue with the Oneness Community and have written 2 letters stating our perspectives on what we perceive as unwholesome behavior in the movement. It created a lot of positive feedback and relevant questions so we have written a third letter with answers to these questions.
 
The sequence of the letters are (they are attached as pdf-docs)
1)      An invitation to look again (March 25, 2010, Cecil)
2)      An invitation to get real (April 4th, Bruhn)
3)      Q&A on delusions in the movement (April 24th, Cecil and Bruhn)
 
These letters are part of the composting process and just an expression of our authentic truth as it looks right now. We are deeply grateful for all the learning we have experienced in the movement (including this :o)). You are welcome to read the letters if you feel like and you can also skip them and just focus on the new flowers below.
 
New Flowers                                                                                                                                                                        
This spring came with a new name for our work: “Center for Inner Freedom”. Actually it was the first name we had just after the breakthrough so it feels good to return to that. We are also experiencing the manifestation of sharper perspectives and a new set of principles for how we work. 
 
In our experience the deeksha energy has always been a flow/invocation of “concentrated Presence” (just like you can get concentrated washing powder ). Not in any way limited or exclusively associated with Amma and Bhagavan – on the contrary ever expanding and expressing itself with different energy imprints of Christ, Buddha and other ascended masters.
 
We will continue to work with “invoking the Presence” but not in the Oneness Movement Deeksha way, as we both feel the need to cut through the energetic noise of all the stories and beliefs surrounding the deeksha energy and the whole circus around Amma and Bhagavan.
 
To rest in natural great peace :o) (From a poem by a Buddhist master that we often play in our workshops)
 
In our new process work towards inner freedom we will:

• work with Presence invocation through the resonance phenomenon briefly explained below
• give you tools to invoke and enjoy Presence more effectively back home
• not distinguish between deeksha givers and non deeksha givers
• work even more with “Presence buttons” (energy points in the body) to deepen our body consciousness
• have longer periods of Silence as a powerful ingredient
• enjoy the Presence field in our retreat centre on Samsoe Island hopefully finished this summer
• continue to work in beautiful nature spots with meditations and energy work
• introduce longer retreats (3 weeks up to 3 months) for participants truly committing themselves to….themselves
• enjoy the flow in movement exercises, skiing, snorkeling and much more

The Resonance Phenomenon and Presence Buttons
 
Inner Freedom is highly catalyzed and amplified by the Presence field we create together in the groups. Everyone can invoke Presence as it is the source of all beings, but the problem is that the ego based mind with all its chatter often gets in the way.
 
In the interaction with an awakened human being there is a resonance phenomenon happening where you will automatically have your energy level raised to a higher frequency. This will allow Presence to enter more fully and make the mind more calm. You can compare it to the function of a tuning fork where the musical instrument is tuned in to the right frequency. 
 
Another way of explaining it is the log analogy. As you know it is very difficult to make a log burn if you just want to light it. But if you place it next to a log which is already burning  it catches on fire very fast. “The fire” allows us to burn all obstacles and enter pure Presence.
 
So we will further develop the energetic interactions with the participants to facilitate this resonance phenomenon. The purpose is to tip the scale and make Presence fill 90% of your being and mind only 10% - instead of vice versa - creating a life in powerful peace .
 
Life is a wonderful  process and through the inner freedom work you can establish yourself deeper in Presence. The longer you are vibrating on these higher frequencies the more the ego will fade away as the conditioned structures are experienced, accepted and released. Being connected with Presence over longer time has tremendous effects – it is like putting your ego in dissolvent liquids. So we will also focus on longer retreats much more than before.
 
Another condition for being able to hold these higher frequencies is that our energy system in the body is continuously balanced. We will work more intensively with what we call Presence buttons. All the amazing energy points in the body are doorways to God, and when we combine the energy points with emotional release work deep transformations can happen.
 
Pressing the Presence buttons on a regular basis is doing profound development work in us – making us able to have “the other kind of buttons” pushed without the need to react in negative ways :-).  We will teach you how to use different tools to connect deeper with Presence when you are not in a retreat situation.
 
We are truly grateful for all the gifts we have received from all our other teachers and will do our best to bring them forward in a way which is authentic for us and beneficial for the big WE.

May all beings live in unconditional freedom and profound joy!
