Section II

Background &
Context

We are not interested in your resume. We are interested in your inner life. These questions are about where you actually are.

What do you do professionally? (One sentence is enough)

What has been your relationship with meditation, contemplative practice, or spirituality? Be honest about what has worked and what hasn’t.

No experience needed. Genuine reflection required.

Have you read anything on iRealization.com? If so, what affected you most?

What teachers, traditions, or frameworks have shaped your thinking about consciousness, mind, or the nature of reality?

Section III

The Actual
Question

This section is the heart of the application. Write carefully. Write honestly. This is not a test — there are no correct answers. Only real ones.

What is the central unresolved question in your inner life right now? Not a philosophical question — the one that keeps returning.

This is the most important question in the application. Take your time.

You have achieved things most people cannot. Why is that not enough? What is missing?

This question may feel uncomfortable. That is intentional.

When do you feel most like yourself? And when do you feel least like yourself? Describe both.

What do you hope is true about the nature of consciousness or the self? And what do you suspect might be true that you find difficult to accept?

Section IV

Readiness &
Capacity

We want to ensure the retreat is appropriate for where you are. These questions assess practical and psychological readiness.

Are you currently working with a therapist, psychiatrist, or taking psychiatric medication? (This is not disqualifying — we ask for context.)

Is there anything in your current life circumstances that would make it difficult to be fully present and not distracted for a full weekend? A major crisis, deadline, or decision?

The retreat involves extended silence and the possibility that your fundamental assumptions about who you are will be challenged. How do you feel about that — not in theory, but actually?

Saying you are “completely ready” may be less honest than saying you are both drawn and apprehensive.

What would it mean for you if the weekend changed nothing? How do you hold that possibility?

Section V

Final
Word

Is there anything else you want the teacher to know before reading your application?

A note on the investment: The retreat requires a $2,999 per person investment. Can you confirm that this is workable for you, without financial strain that would itself become a distraction?

By submitting this application you understand that it does not guarantee a place at the retreat. The teacher reads every application and will be in touch within 5–7 days. If accepted, you will receive details about the preparation call and deposit process.

Your responses are read only by the teacher. Nothing you share here is shared further.
