SUMMARY:Śiva Sūtras: Opening to Absolute Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:Join us LIVE for this 4-Module Course Starting August 6\, 2024. \n\n\n\nWisdom School Members are automatically enrolled and will receive access information via email. Not a member? Enroll in the Śiva Sūtras Live Course → \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe text that is broadly considered to be the founding text of Kashmir Shaivism is the incredibly timely text\, the Śiva Sūtras (SS). The SS\, which was composed by an author named Vasugupta\, is considered by the tradition to be a “revealed” text\, or āgama. \n\n\n\nIn the “Śiva Sūtras Summer School”\, we will be engaging with this important work as a foundational text of yoga philosophy. The SS is fruitful text for modern yoga and meditation practitioners who are seeking a context of knowledge that helps to situate the experience of individuality within a broader picture of what reality is all about. \n\n\n\nIt provides an inspiring narrative of how one can cultivate meaning in this lifetime in a way that resists being reduced either to familiar modes of religious doctrine or to the assumptions of cosmic meaninglessness that are characteristic of a prevailing relativistic worldview. \n\n\n\nLive sessions will take place Tuesdays and Thursdays – August 6th\, 8th\, 13th\, and 15th at 9:00am ET. Each of the four modules will be around 2 hours in length\, followed by a 30 minute Q&A. Recordings will be available the day following the live session. \n\n\n\nThose who take this course will: \n\n\n\n\nLearn how the non-dual Tantric traditions are incredibly applicable to modern householder life\,\n\n\n\nStudy the way Reality organizes itself\, according to the emanationist cosmology of Śaiva Tantra\, and compare this view to other accounts of how reality functions\,\n\n\n\nDiscover why we should think about this text as the most central text of yoga philosophy\,\n\n\n\nEngage with what the central yoga practices are that are connected to the tradition behind the Śiva Sūtras\,\n\n\n\nConsider who some of the key non-dual philosophers are\, and where their perspectives overlapped and diverged\,\n\n\n\nStudy the comprehensive philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism\,\n\n\n\nBecome educated on the relationship between the non-dual Tantric traditions more broadly and the philosophical tradition known as the pratjabhijñā\,\n\n\n\nIncorporate a recitation of the SS into your practice over two weeks to help you begin memorizing these sūtras for your own reference and practice\,\n\n\n\nBe able to name and describe what makes Kashmir Shaivism different from other yoga traditions\, and \n\n\n\nLive the SS in your life and begin to align with the profound meanings communicated within it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more and enroll today . . .\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour Course Instructor\n\n\n\nJacob Kyle is a yoga and meditation teacher\, writer\, philosophy educator and the Founder of Embodied Philosophy\, an online educational platform for wisdom studies and contemplative practices.
