\"Ernie
\nErnie knows what is truly important in life. <\/strong> There is a way to live as a human being that is so delicious… Not just in a few special moments, but in nearly all moments. The “trick” is to see beyond what we currently believe to be true, especially the core illusion regarding what a human being actually is.<\/p>\n

Ernie’s greatest gift is knowing what we are not<\/em>. We are not our thoughts, or our beliefs, or what society tells us. When we experience for ourselves what is false, the truth is then free to come forward on its own. We begin to live in a timeless state of exquisite awareness. Ordinary concerns lose their weight, their heaviness; and the burden of defending the ego against imagined attacks is released. We can be free.<\/p>\n

This state of freedom is where Ernie lives most of the time, and he is able to show others what is possible. I have personally seen a number of my dear friends changed deeply, not to mention the enormous freedom I have found in my own life.<\/p>\n

There is something happening in the world today that allows ordinary people access a state of being which in the past was very rare. This is the same movement noticed by Eckart Tolle and others. It is real and growing. The human race seems to be evolving in some unexpected way. Perhaps that awakening is the only possibility for human beings to continue to survive into the future…<\/p>\n

What Ernie does is to clearly point out what is false in what we believe about who we are, and to demonstrate by example what might be possible in a human life. I often remember something he said in the recent August workshop “We used to think that this could only happen at the end of a long struggle, but that does not seem to be the case. It’s easier than that.” It is almost Ernie’s trademark statement that “it’s easier than that.” And it really is… Like many things in life, in hindsight everything is perfectly clear. It was only our own resistance to change that was in our way.<\/p>\n

Thank you for letting me share of my experience about Ernie and his work with you. I invite you to check out this web site and join the fun. Watch the videos from Ernie’s workshops. Come on in, the water is fabulous!<\/p>\n
