The selfcentered Pay It Forward Experiment
Max Simon - December 04, 2008
Life is such a roller-coaster.
After my powerful time in silence at the 10-day retreat, integration
back into world has been more challenging than I expected. The
traffic has felt more intense, the noise has been louder, and the
world has seemed more chaotic.
My refuge has been silence, stillness, and our tribe.
From this, I am more convinced than ever that selfcentered has
something worthy to offer this world. In fact, I believe we have
two invaluable offerings: meditation & community.
So with this in mind, we have decided to test something bold.
Understanding that the greatest thing we can do right now is to
gather and connect, we are inviting you to attend the next Out
of Your Mind Immersion on January 23-25 as our guest. But
please know that you're not coming for free. You are being paid for
by selfcentered and the people who attended the last event.
The intention for this experiment is to "Pay it Forward". Upon
completing the Immersion and assuming you had a powerful
experience, you will have the opportunity to make a donation.
These resources will be used to fund the next group to go through
the weekend, and so on. By creating this practical giving and
receiving flow, we aim to give thousands of people the opportunity
to experience deep connection and true support as they become an
official members of our meditation tribe.
Please understand that there is no obligation or expectation of a
specific dollar amount to give. You are invited to attend the weekend
because of the heartfelt donations from the past participants and the
energy and resources from selfcentered. Period.
Why are we doing this?
Because the world feels intense, crazy, and in a state of total
transformation right now. To balance and manage these energies,
meditation and community are essential; and that's what we do best.
So we came together as a tribe and made a decision - let's give all
we can right now. We're looking to see what's possible when we
collectively dive into the river of our own love and show up in
complete service for the greater good.
We have limited space for the next event so it's a first come, first
serve basis. To enroll, please send an email to
info@getselfcentered.com or call 888.5.SCTOUR. There is a
$75 registration fee to cover the basic expenses.
As always, your comments are welcomed and appreciated.
In service,
Max Simon

in LA. To participate in the Pay It Forward Program, email

Good luck dear Max! I would like to contribute, also from the other side of the planet, with a poem, from the heart :) :
It is a beautiful day
A new day
The sun is shining
My heart is filled with peace
I walk here in this little park
Every step I take
Is manifesting a world of
Vibrant energy
Around me
Leaves are waving in the wind
Birds are singing in the trees
Ducks are swimming in the water
And me, am part of it all
While breathin in and out
I am alive
Manifesting paradise on earth
Everywhere I go
I encounter people smiling at me
I smile back
And in their eyes I see
They know, just like me
Of happiness inside
I create this world myself
With every step I take
And gratitude comes in
Because it is really possible
To live and let live this way
And if you really understand
The power of manifestation
Then everything you manifest
Will radiate around yourself
Because you are that point
In the middle
From which everything sprouts forth
And the world within
Becomes the world without
As simple as one can imagine
And
As complicated as one can imagine
IT IS ALL.. UP TO ME..
Perhaps, by changing it here and there you might be able to use it?

I wish I could come, Max, but I'm on the other side of the planet :) I love what you all are doing, and I'm sure your service comes right from the heart. You are wonderful young people doing amazingly conscious work. I hope you remember the role of patience and trust.
