True Intimacy & the Harmony of Man and Woman

Material Information Welcome to the online course "True Intimacy & the Harmony of Man and Woman". The materials for this online course were recorded in 2017 as a part of the teaching and transmissions of Pema Salem being documented on video. The recordings were made specifically for the purpose of delivering the transmissions and keys of consciousness on a row of topics.   Preparations Before engaging in the video-course, please choose your preferred plan of engagement and let preparations be made to fit the chosen plan. Welcome and Enjoy your Journey in Truth... WelcomeOverviewSession 1Session 2Session 3Session 4Session 5Session 6Onwards Welcome You have purchased access to the online course: True Intimacy & the Harmony of Man and Woman   This course consists of a package of materials; 6 talks 5 meditations (tools of transmission) 6 sets of contemplations All for your engagement and deeper investigation on your Way in Truth. This online course page is organised in tabs. This one; the Welcome tab. An Overview tab, 6 Session-tabs and an Onwards tab. During your work with the contents, you can always return to the overview, if your contemplations lead you back for a recap, to one of the previous talks or meditations.   Working with the Contents The 6-session setup is prepared for your journey through - in choosing either a very concentrated and intensive 6-day stretch or application over a 6 week stretch, of working even deeper with the contemplations and investigations invited in each of the sessions.   6 day plan You can engage with the course in a 6-day stretch of highly intense daily engagement with the transmissions in talks, meditations and contemplations. Going with the 6-day plan requires a full week of engagement – calling for full focus on your deepening with the contents of transmission in a setup of retreating at home. If you go for the 6-day stretch, you are invited to create the time and space needed to engage with full focus. You can arrange yourself for days of social silence, with engagement applied only to practice in meditations, reception of transmission in talks, to movement every day of walking and perhaps movement to music, along finally with engagement with the contemplations in a notebook. You can furthermore support your journey by allowing a return to simplicity in drinking plenty of water and simplifying your eating to healthy and nutritious food, which will assist your integration of the transmissions.   6 week plan The second plan is that of a weekly engagement - running over 6 weeks. A plan of engagement, which can be integrated alongside your daily life. This plan encourages the integration of and deepening in Truth with the daily Life and requires a balancing between attending responsibilities with Care and engaging with ongoing accuracy and focus to the deepening with the video-material and contemplations. Each week can be planned for an ongoing engagement with and return to the core of your investigations, throughout the course, and your self-discipline is needed to attend continuously with inner engagement on the topic, in the time between your engagement with the video material. Watching and re-watching the weeks videos can be deeply beneficial for a continued deepening with and understanding of the keys of consciousness delivered. In this way the benefit of this form of engagement entirely depends on your level of engagement with the contemplations, the transmission and the practice in meditation.   Engaging with Contemplations With each sessions follows a set of contemplations, which invites you to turn your attention towards the investigations of your own ways, assumptions, strategies and other aspects which all play a part in our way around the topics of this online course. Please watch the following video on engagement with contemplations. Ready to Get Started?

The contemplations are available on each sessions page. Welcome to the first of your 6 session online course. The first session is a mix between direct sharing from Pema along with topic clarifications as responses to questions.   The Contemplations Contemplate the nature of the process of Individuation and Unification. How deeply does your awareness reach into this process and which parts of it are happening in you with ease of movement? Which strategies are initiating in you, the moment it is time to shift the intimacy from togetherness to aloneness - and back? Contemplate your relationship with the logic of "appearance before disappearance". What is your mental attitude towards the fact, that all negativity must reveal inside you, before it can pass and release? Observe your feelings around the nature of working with feelings in this way. Is there or how do you create space for this fact in your life of intimate connection? How is it handled responsibly? How can you cooperate around this fact and universal rule of resolution? Contemplate commitment. What is commitment in your intimate relationship? What is commitment to your Self? What is commitment to Truth? Do you find edges of contradiction between the answers to those questions? If so, Look and Feel the edges and ask inwards which parts of you awaits to dissolve, for the answer to be one and the same to all of them - investigate! The Meditation The Talk The talk of the day moves through the following topics: Relating in Truth and intimacy Individuation & Unification Engagement in intimacy with the embrace of Silence Responsibility as we meet the edges The key for handling wounding The significance of feeling in connection The law of healing - compassion, flourishing & passing Bringing consciousness into the Earth - integration The key of commitment Welcome to the second of this 6 session online course.   The Contemplations Contemplate the way in which shame plays a part in your relationship. You may never have truly realised how or what impact the feeling of shame has on your inclination to jump to the strategy of self-defense instead of going straightly and simply to confession, in the hour of confrontation. When dissolving the need to self-defend and becoming truly humble, it is because you have moved beyond the belief, that your imperfection is wrong or shameful. It takes only One exposure to real compassion, to no longer have an intact belief in the need to defend or enclose. How do you handle the revelation of imperfection in the face of your partner? How can you cooperate better and relax more around it? Contemplate for a moment the turning wheel of your passages from Silence - over desire and anger - to humility. It is on this band of existence that intimacy is born as a fully in-ground arrival of consciousness. How long do you spend in the gap between Silence and humility, are you able to stay honest, do you hide and postpone the being with the feelings? What is it you truly need, when in the face of sadness? How can you give it to yourself? How can your partner support you? And vice versa. The entire power-game of the human race is built upon manipulation taking place through pushing and pulling. This we do, when we are in disagreement with Life - as it Is. Investigate a moment, where you had the chance to give in, but chose to manipulate rather than surrender. What was the basic idea, which was used to defend your right to use force upon the situation or individual involved? On how large a scale does this manipulation actually take place in your life? The Meditation The Talk The topics moving through the talk of the day are: Commitment continued Beyond shame - breaking the cycle of self-defense The key to and beauty of confession The connection between self-love and love of other Our intimacy as the open-ended invitation to reality The simplicity of Joy and Sadness Resistance - the opposition to Life Beyond judgment - from perfectionism to compassion Beyond manipulation - facing the rage of the Feminine Real humility - falling in love with the sweetness of your human experience The limitless potential of intimate communion The "dream of us" - a killer of real intimacy Welcome to the third of 6 sessions in this online course.   The Contemplations The significance of rooting the relationship in the dedication to Truth determines how deeply and cleanly we are able to move together. It is so because without this foundation, the human bonding over and intimacy in our getting together, is bound to lead into unending alleys of drowning attachment. Contemplate this reality. How aligned to Truth are you in the meeting with your partner? Do you often slide into dreaming, does your partner? Which are the indications within your thoughts and feelings, that you have moved unto a band of illusion, which inevitably awaits a return to Silence, before Love yet again can be...
