Naturally Being The Universal Family

The Universal Family is more than just a name—it's an innovative organising framework that emerged from a direct realisation several years ago and aligns with all non-dualistic teachings, experience, and scientific psychotherapeutic methods.

What Is The Message Of Naturally Being The Universal Family

At its core, the Universal Family takes us directly to, in a robust, intuitively straightforward, and resilient manner, the non-dualistic realisation and cultivation of unyielding psychological safety, peace of mind, and a joyful, enthusiastic aliveness that is the innate impersonal nature of all minds. The experience of this nature is revealed as we understand that we must be awareness understanding these words that our mind and body are perceiving and that we cannot know this awareness is a separate and personal awareness dependent on the mind and body and, therefore can be open to the possibility we are an impersonal awareness that encompasses all things.

Consciously living as this impersonal nature, we assume the role of an ever-present, never-changing, always whole and safe parental loving reality that enjoys living in unity with its less mature vehicle, the mind-body, and by extension, the entire environment of various forms, that are naturally felt to be the children of this universal family and intimately respected and loved as such.

Experiencing our inherent indestructibly safe wholeness and aliveness naturally highlights the core reason for all psychologically conditioned suffering in the form of thoughts and feelings of fear and lack. It becomes clear the only time we suffer in such a way is when we are not consciously aware of our true nature and fall back into viewing life through the lens of our children, the mind and body, identifying with them as if we are limited separate self. As this occurs, defensive thought patterns and behaviours are conditioned into the mind and body since childhood that, like layers of an onion, continue to influence our whole outlook on life into adulthood.

This conditioning occurs because we have lost our natural state of safe wholeness and aliveness. We attempt to regain it through the only mechanisms left to us: trying to think our way back to feeling whole by controlling and attaching to objects in the world we perceive now as real. This sends us into a spin of psychological neurosis, which is itself a message that we are looking in the wrong direction to find the lasting, safe wholeness and aliveness we have lost.

A Robust and Intuitive Orientation That All Minds Can Readily Grasp

The metaphor of the Universal Family acts as a cast-iron inner orientation for all minds to quickly regain their natural conscious position of being and experience the whole safe aliveness that is their true nature. As we live consciously experiencing this, the entire shape of our lives is healthily transformed as we come to view, with deep respect and intimacy, the whole universe as being an evolving flow of this nature. We find the impersonal motivation of this flow is always towards life-affirming action and expression, and there is a profound recognition and trust of the miraculous synchronicity of the process of the universe. As this unfolds, a natural authenticity of behaviour emerges, for as our mind and body feel safe, their need to hide behind defensive behaviours and their need to attach to things and relationships in an unhealthy balanced manner for safety in an attempt to gain wholeness subsides. It becomes clear that we never have to worry things will not work out, as our minds have previously done. It turns out all we have to do is be the natural indestructible wholeness and aliveness that our true nature is and allow the flow of life to happen. Our children, the mind and body, are guided accordingly by this impersonal flow to protect themselves and enthusiastically honour and express the life-affirming qualities of their parental nature.

A Straightforward Way To Communicate This Understanding To All Minds

Furthermore, the Universal Family's robust simplicity makes it a powerful teaching tool. It facilitates the sharing of this understanding in a manner that is immediately and intuitively useful on both a psychological level and the more profound level of realising intrinsic nature regardless of current knowledge and experience of psychology and understanding of aware nature.

The Universal Family provides a powerful context for psychological healing and can be seamlessly integrated with other psychotherapeutic tools.

The Universal Family also seamlessly integrates with all nondualist meditative practices.

The Universal Family serves as a metaphor for our age, suggesting that human intelligence can unite to tackle social issues for the common good. It is a community of like minds that supports each other in applying their understanding of its underlying principles to daily life.

The Universal Weekend Gathering

Understanding some things is very helpful for living by our true nature. The Universal Family Gathering is a place where we share all core understandings of this approach in a brief yet digestible format. Most importantly, we share a joyful sense of wholeness and liberation from the psychological fear of our innate nature.

The weekend steps through six structured learning points through questions, dialogue, and the sharing of experiences. This highly logical progression derives from the Universal Family metaphor and orients participants to their inner experiences of awareness, mind, and body.
