Heightened Awareness in Fargo
By: Chris Curran
The Seminar here in Fargo was deeply appreciated by the attendees. United Airlines interferred with the first scheduled day of events, thus we punted throughout Justin’s stay and had him involved in a couple of presentations or interviews per day. As Justin’s main intent is the Heightened Awareness Seminar, that is the primary focus of his energy. The radio interview on Monday (which was to be on his music) ended up focusing on T’ai Chi Chih (as the interviewer was drawn to this!) and the television interview also ended up in the same vein.
Justin’s visit to Fargo was an amazing experience for me to witness. The population here is not that drawn to the mystical, and has had limited exposure to Oriental philosophy, ways of meditation, and listening to self. Thus, the warm response and sincere mutual appreciation was fantastic. The underlying link to this visit is Justin’s honesty and realness. There were no big build-ups (he didn’t even allow me to introduce him with his credits, etc.) and no facades. It was all the NOW experience. Very enlightening for everyone as each person was able to tap into themselves and not someone elses accomplishments and/or experience!
One interesting aspect of this seminar is how most of the participants waited until the last two days to register and attend. Justin stated that Tom had this happen at Mendocino, too. So, I had anticipated 14-20 participants and was surprised when at the last minute the number grew to 37.
Best energy to all of you during this Tour of Justin’s.
