How To See Agitation As Inspiration
If we do not experience from within a body, then where oh where do we feel-think-do from?
Think of a whirlpool. There seems to be a definable shape that we can point to and know as a whirlpool, and yet there is nothing separate or fixed about its whirlpool-ness. All the water that constructs the thing we have labelled “whirlpool” is in flow, never the same…
The Model of Insight
It occurred to me whilst reading Joseph Campbell’s Pathway to Bliss, that if we have no models of nameless now, then, well, we have no models. Whatever conclusions we draw from this are our own doctrine(s) making themselves visible. For some the need to qualify and…
The Brahman Experience
Let’s discuss the possibility that Brahman is nityaptasvarupa, no exceptions. Let’s talk about what it means to truly live from a place where Brahman is all that is – our ideas, experiences, loves, violence. I’ll start with some of the comments made on a previous…
Consciousness of Choice
It is not uncommon to hear people speak of happiness as a choice, as a state of mind. But what happens when we make happiness a goal instead of an experience? And how can we know happiness through dedication, without attaching ourselves to the outcome itself? This is…
What Does the Matrix, Advaita and Oneness Have in Common?
5am Monday morning. One month ’til Christmas and three weeks to moving house. All this measurement for planning seems inane, arbitrary; part of some busy work we do to fill the spaces where growing, tending and making used to be. For somewhere we remember that even…
How does this serve you?
Last week I was instructed to write about the nature of service. I left it to focus on other stuff and then talking to a friend yesterday it came up again. “How can I serve others because I know when I’m serving others I am also serving myself” and I realised the…
Intuition and what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immoveable object
Guidance. Trust. What does it take to come back to who I Am as empowered? There are many questions to come back to around trusting yourself, your guidance and the way you show up as perfect. What keeps me focused on my essence rather than who I am in contrast to the…
I Know It’s Crisis Point, But What’s Really Going On?
I remember when we used to call them ‘ascension symptoms’ – tiredness, achy-bones, bouts of fever and forgetting the car keys. Then it was more than just our bodies. We started noticing emotional chaos and relationship discord. Jobs and money started behaving…
Life Is Not A Diorama
If all my days were of my own making, I would do crosswords naked in bed, read sci-fi on the balcony, and cook fancy meals. And If I hand-picked all my friends, they would be clever, kind and psychic. They would know when to leave me be to get my work done, and when…
It’s More Than A Matter of Choice
“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” ~…
What Is Medicine?
Before the more recent reference to tinctures and therapies, the term ‘medicine’ meant Oneness. People’s such as the Hopi, ancient Egyptians, Buddhists, alchemists and others, saw medicine as more than a cure for what ails us. For them, medicine was a form of living…
