2025 Deerhaven Retreat 6th Night–Integration and Liberation
During this talk, Peter describes how applying the principles and practices associated with being “diligent, mindful, clearly knowing” presented earlier in the retreat supports a beneficial progression from self-state conflict through self-state integration towards self-state liberation. Self-state conflict represents the inescapable difference between how the selfing process idealizes oneself, others and the world and what actually happens, creating ongoing distress and confusion. Self-state integration represents the way that the diligent cultivation of vipassana supports a more realistic and adaptable way of living. This creates the basis for the cultivation of elf-state liberation, which develops the capacity for full Awakening.
