Victoria C. Ukachukwu, PhD Sunday October 28th 10:30 -11:30 am Zoom Video Conference Link (see below) Awakening to True Nature   In 2014, I awakened to the realization that being aware is my true nature. The experience was one of simply being aware without the identity of a person who is aware. At once exhilarating and disorienting, this simple but profound realization transformed my experience of life to one of effortless being. A major effect of this realization is an enduring peace that transcends all experience. In this awakened sense of being, the body-mind is experienced as an objective sense of the knowing of being -- I AM. There is no longer the need for an individual identity as a person who is living life. There is only awareness and the experience of the objectified sense of this awareness as and through various forms of expression. The illusion of a person who is aware of objects dissolved and was replaced with a pervasive sense of joy and freedom in pure being.   Before 2014, my life was based on the story of a woman named Victoria Ukachukwu who is a trained scientist with a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and is a divorced mother of two daughters. All of my experiences derived from this core identity. Over time, this identity became very limiting and questions about God and the nature of reality began to arise. Science offered no satisfactory answers nor did the Catholic religion in which I was raised. In 2010, I discovered the teachings of non-duality. In particular, the teachings of Mooji and Rupert Spira. And in 2012, I went to my first retreat with Rupert Spira but came away with more questions. It was not until June 2014 when I went to a second retreat with Rupert Spira that all questions dissolved with the recognition of my true nature.   Since 2014, I have been sharing this amazing realization with all who are interested in knowing their true nature. As a friend of mine put it: “Awareness is to be shared and mirrored back to all... so that we may realize our True Nature.”  In my experience, being aware or Awareness Itself is our true nature and our only purpose. It is Absolute.     For more information about this event please contact practice@nightskysangha.org.   To participate in our Live Web Video-Cast, you may follow this url: (https://zoom.us/j/2280155449) or dial in for audio only via land line, cell, or Skype to  (408) 638-0968 or (646) 558-8656.
