Module 1: Taking Radical Responsibility for Your Life
We all experience disappointments and setbacks in our lives. When things don’t go the way you thought they would, does it feel like the situation happened to you — or that it happened for you?
Taking radical responsibility for your life means embracing the idea that while you may not be responsible for the circumstances of your life, you are ultimately responsible for how you choose to live within those circumstances. This is the groundwork, the set point, from which all of our other teachings will begin.
After we explore this inquiry into radical responsibility, Murray will perform an improvised live-piano journey tailored to this theme to help you deepen your understanding of these concepts.
Module 2: What Is Possible?
Fear has an important role to play in our lives: it serves to protect us from the things that would cause us harm. But fear does not discern between good and bad, and when we want things that scare us, that protection can actually stand in the way of what’s possible.
You’ll unearth the ultimate fear – the fear beneath all fears – and transform it so that we can open ourselves up to the possibility that awaits us on the other side.
The inquiry will conclude with a live-piano journey from Murray inspired by these ideas as we continue to reflect on their meaning in our own lives.
Module 3: Attachment, Detachment & Non-Attachment
We create attachments throughout our lives: some healthy, some unhealthy. You may think that certain attachments are out of your control, that you simply feel strongly about something and there’s nothing you can do to change it.
Yet, it is possible to change how you feel about something or someone. You can change your relationship to that attachment.
The key is to be intentional.
You may be familiar with the Buddhist approach to attachment (or, more correctly, non-attachment — viewing whatever happens as an impartial observer). We will expand upon that concept to discover what attachment looks like in terms of the meaning we assign to life, the meaning we assign to our beliefs, and the meaning we assign to ourselves.
Module 4: Forgiveness Is the Key
What happens when an apology never comes? What do you do when the person you need to forgive is yourself?
When we can embrace the fact that — consciously or unconsciously — we are not just the effect but also the cause of our experiences, our path to forgiveness becomes much clearer.
Freedom lies on the other side of forgiveness. While on the surface it may seem that forgiveness is something we do for others, it is primarily a journey we undertake for ourselves.
Module 5: The State of Flow
A flow state, sometimes described by athletes as being “in the zone,” is when you experience peak performance — connected to your highest self and able to produce and create from that place.
When you achieve flow, you experience complete absorption, timelessness, and absence of ego. You become one with your creation with a reverence that can feel spiritual.
In this state, the part of your brain that processes introspection shuts down. Your inhibitions and doubts are dampened, allowing you to move forward in new, creative ways.
Anyone can achieve a state of flow. You’ll explore how to invite more flow into your life and string together individual moments of flow to create a whole life of flow.
Module 6: Standing in the Presence of Joy
You’ve likely been conditioned to believe that joy comes from external circumstances, such as material wealth, success at work, a great partner, or a fun vacation.
Society (and the relentless peer pressure of social media) reinforces the notion that we will only experience joy when we have something that we don’t currently possess.
The truth is, joy exists in plain sight. It doesn’t suddenly appear when you’ve got a perfect body, a perfect house, or a perfect job.
Joy is the natural by-product of being satisfied with what you already have. In this module, you’ll explore how you can shift your perspective to be able to experience joy in anything and everything (including the seemingly ordinary, banal, or mundane).
Module 7: What Is Your Purpose?
Mark Twain famously said, “The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” Yet, there is a third most important day — the day you discover that there is a why.
Once that deep, existential question enters your consciousness, there’s no going back.
However, what if the meaning of life were the meaning you gave it? Even if the only meaning it had was the meaning you assigned to it, it is meaning nonetheless.
Your life would have meaning because you say it does — because you demand that it does. While that may sound terrifying at first, it is actually quite liberating. Absolutely no one else on Earth can give you the meaning — or purpose — you seek.
It is yours to uncover and embrace. It is unique and specific to you, and therefore your purpose cannot be wrong.
