VISION
FOR ABBY EAGLE SCHOOL OF MEDITATION
INTRODUCTION
Meditation
is not about taking on new dogmas, doctrines or beliefs. Meditation is about learning
how to quieten the mind and experience a silent no mind state, then rather than
acting out of conditioning, beliefs, memories, knowledge, ritual or thinking one learns to act out of trust and awareness. Then life becomes a celebration.
Read a preamble on the relevance of meditation to the business sector.

VISION
My current feeling
is to create a Gold Coast health resort type development. A two to three
story building which houses a gymnasium, swimming pool, classes
in Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, Chi Kung, massage, NLP, hypnosis,
naturopathy etc. Cafe, restaurant , book shop and a small cinema. There should be one main auditorium
to seat 500 people plus a number of smaller rooms where the Yoga,
Tai Chi, classes etc will be held. There could be a number of rooms
to house guests. The concept needs to be attractive enough to generate
regular customers. It also needs to be close enough to
the Gold Coast CBD so that people do not feel they are leaving town. People
should be able to come here to work on their health - physical, emotional
and mental and leave feeling renewed, refreshed and energised.
ATTITUDE
To create an environment which nurtures the process of self discovery.
I am not interested in converting anyone to a particular way of thinking.
VALUES
- Helping each other to
discover their essential nature.
- Becoming free of our
conditioning, clearing negative emotions and healing the past.
- Resolving internal conflict
and conflict within relationships.
- Acting out of awareness
as opposed to memory, thinking, beliefs, doctrine and dogma.
- Celebrating life with
a sense of awe and fascination.
- Feelings of authentic
peace, happiness, joy, compassion, bliss and ecstasy.
- Nurturing love, kindness and compassion.
- A silent no-mind state.
- Coming to a sense of
oneness.
- The flowering of consciousness.
BELIEFS
All humans have a consciousness which is naturally evolving. When
the consciousness flowers we call it enlightenment. Different traditions
use different names to denote the flowering of consciousness. Zen talks
of Truth, Enlightenment and Buddha Nature; Buddhists talk of Nirvana;
Jains talk of Moksha; Christians talk of the Kingdom of God; Hindus talk
of Self Realisation and the Bauls talk of the Essential Man.
There are many examples
throughout history of people whose consciousness has flowered: Jesus,
Buddha, Mahavira, Osho, Chuang Tzu, Bhodidarma, Ramakrishna, etc. Enlightenment
is everyone's birth right and given enough will happen to everyone, albeit many lives. Enlightenment is
possible in this life time. To increase the possibility of enlightenment
one needs to make effort.
There are NLP (and
other) techniques that make profound change possible with even a small
amount of effort and awareness.
CAPABILITIES
With a team
of committed people it is going to be possible to build a network of meditation schools around Australia.
BEHAVIOURS
Products and services:
- Workshops and classes
- Meditation teacher training.
- Books, mp3's and DVD's.
FUNDING
This is a project requiring some millions of dollars in investment.
ACTION PLAN
Step 1. To build credibility I feel that I am going to have to demonstrate
to the public and the business world that I have a viable vision. Currently
there is just myself but as I steadily build the organisation infrastructure the support grows exponentially.
Step 2. Hire
the services of an Internet Marketer to build a massive web presence and
generate cash flow.
Step 3. Hire
the services of a Promoter. Someone who is able to do the footwork and
get out and meet key people on the Gold Coast and champion the vision
of Abby Eagle. (Currently I have a couple of part timers who are doing an admiral job.)
Step 4. Meet with
business people. Meet with an architect (the same company that designed Bond University) and conceptualise the physical layout of the meditation school.
Write a business plan.
Step 5. If necessary recruit investors.
However it is my feeling that investors may not be necessary if we can generate
enough business via the Internet.
