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 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...

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...
Discretion is the Better Part of Valour

Discretion is the Better Part of Valour

It's meant to be a joke. Caution is not the first port of call for the courageous. And yet this sarcasm has become a structural support for those seeking to extol the charity and practical wisdom of letting cooler heads prevail. But who cares, right? Who really cares...

How To Feel (fill in the blank)

There is a simple way to match that feeling you're chasing with the reality you're already living (and it's not the secret or the law of attraction or anything else you've tried so far), I promise!   Let's cut straight to the chase - all you need is a Dynamic...

The Lollipop or the Lash?

The Lollipop or the Lash?

Sure, I could focus on what I'm not doing (yet). Make note of and draw attention to, say, the exercise regime of my 'ideal self' to-do list... I could feel bad about how different/better/healthier I might be if I had actually dedicated myself as I planned to from the...

Doing Without Doing

Doing Without Doing

What happens when you combine inner-work with outer-work? You get Oneness. But how do you live in a world that looks like it has borders and boundaries, with people who talk in terms of being separate, and still maintain your own cosmology of Oneness? In other words,...

Compassionate Ends

Compassionate Ends

Like hyphenated Americans, the idea of radical compassion or unconditional love, bemuse. While many seem to abide the lores of selective compassion, which is not unlike selective-listening where one admits to some but not all of what is available, compassion is what...

Another Way To Make Sense of Each Other

If we want this planet to come together and function differently, we need three things: (1) Another way to understand what’s going on. (2) Another way to make sense of each other’s choices. (3) Another way to understand thyself.   Where to surrender, and when to...

Oneness

Oneness

"Hallelujah! Finally someone is talking about Oneness as an experience rather than as an outcome. Let's have that conversation!" How many times have we heard people claim they're all about oneness and then start preaching how we "should" be different because we're out...

Quantum Map

Quantum Map

Once you begin to say “yes” to this new way of being on the planet, this neutral consciousness, you will understand even the mind’s filters in a non-judgemental way. You will see all things as serving you no matter how crazy or illogical they seem. You will see the order in chaos and more than this, you will love playing it’s symphony is all things.
