Jach Talking About Lazaris

Jach on Lazaris

Lazaris by Gilbert Williams
 

 Before I conclude this introduction and welcome (that has become far longer than I intended), I want to add a bit about Lazaris for those who know him well and for those who are about to know him better. I do this as a way to communicate a tone or resonance that we hope to establish and maintain in this section. With your help, I am confident we will.

Over the last two decades, Lazaris has conducted hundreds of workshops all over the country. Whether a workshop is an Evening with Lazaris or a four-day Lazaris Intensive, those who gather to be with and to work with Lazaris – many hundreds at a time – come away with a very personal, very intimate experience of both Lazaris and of the material he discusses. Over the years, the number of "those who have gathered" has continued to grow. At first, some were concerned that they would lose some of that special intimacy as more people came to the workshops. They were pleasantly surprised and delighted to realize that, as the numbers grew bigger, the intimacy grew deeper.

The array of topics is vast, as Lazaris may repeat a workshop title from time to time, though each workshop, regardless of its title, is always new and fresh. Geared to each of us who participates, each workshop is different. What is common to them all: The Lazaris Material is always crisp and direct, aimed at expanding our awareness, our learning, and our knowing.

His aim is to stimulate our intellect, our imagination, and our creativity without confounding them. His emphasis is on helping us turn meaning into experience – our own very personal and very private experience. He does this by interspersing the discussion with "Lazaris Blendings" and with powerfully detailed guided meditations.

A "Lazaris Blending" is a self-directed altered state of consciousness where we can blend our consciousness with Lazaris' consciousness. He demonstrates his unbounded love and respect for us and who we are by never forcing and never overwhelming us. He never "makes" us feel or experience his love, though it is always there; he allows us to feel it. He never tells us what to do. He always suggests a course of action and often suggests several, while he explores the various consequences or benefits of each. A "Lazaris Blending" is a time when Lazaris talks with us individually "often using our own voice."

A Lazaris Meditation is unique in its detail and its vividness. The insights we glean can be profound in their impact. Again, even during the most intense meditation, we are always in charge. As much as the words of description may be his, the experiences, the insights, and the magic that precipitate from those words and images are ours. The growth and change that come out of those meditations are also ours.

Though thousands of people work with Lazaris, each has a one-to-one relationship with Lazaris that is quite personal. He is not a guru; he is not a master. He has no need for those labels. He is a friend.

He does not take us where we do not want to go. Rather, he walks "beside us" on our individual metaphysical and spiritual journey to God/Goddess/All That Is, pointing out the interesting, the intriguing, and the helpful along the way. He walks with us on our personal path Home, pointing out potential pitfalls, traps, and distractions that could otherwise obscure and detain us from our destination. He offers suggestions through a panoply of techniques that can allow elegance and excellence so that the all-important means of our journey and path can be rich and ripe with wonder, magic, and miracles.

Peny, Michaell, and I have thoroughly enjoyed our experience of Lazaris, and we have been inspired by the experiences of those of you, whether well-seasoned or new to your spiritual path, who have worked with him as well. The spiritual reward of sharing Lazaris with so many is ineffable.

We look forward to sharing ourselves and to sharing a "side" of Lazaris and our work with him. We look forward to getting to know you and a facet of you that we might not otherwise experience. Welcome.
