ACCEPTING OR REFUSING LIFE

Version 2.1 | 09.27.2010

Our life experience with this world is unimaginably uncontrollable.

And, in the end,

we,

each and every one of us,

must face our own unscheduled death,

as well as the deaths of those we love

and the loss of all things we become attached to.

It is easy to see how a life lived focused on…

VESTED IN OUR EVIDENCE

Version 2.0 | 09.24.2010

We are so completely vested in our evidence,

and what our subconscious manufacturers in this vesting.

How can reality become anything other than what our collected and brooded over evidence points to?

Welcome to understanding the Great Bias we bring into living.

No wonder we are often so disappointed,

so dis-en-heartened with our…

THE TIDES OF SELF

Version 2.1 | 09.24.2010

It is remarkable, this journey we undertake,

constructing and then being faced with the challenge

of deconstructing our home-grown sense-of-self.

Rather than ask the question “why” is life the way it is,

it seems more fruitful to surrender to…

EYE IN THE STORM

Version 2.1 | 9.24.2010

If we are to evolve,

we must uncover and embody the consciousness of inner peace,

we must find our own “eye in the storm”.

As the perceptual duration between cause and effect collapses,

as the destructive patriarchical…

I’ve always been here.

Never to be anywhere else.

I can’t get away from here.

I try to be somewhere else, but I’m still here.

I leave and yet here follows.

I’m momentarily lost. Where am I?

I’m still here I just wasn’t looking.

I can’t get out of here. I can’t escape here. I’m eternally here.

I always thought I was going somewhere.

Now I know I’ll never get there.

Here is the only place on earth, and everything happens here.

Where else… Continue

Tendencies ...

In those moments when we feel afraid and cave in to our fear,

we choose to separate and become what might be called dis-enheartened.

This is a built-in tendency within all of humanity.

If practiced and refined, it becomes a way to loose ourselves in our unbridled fear.

Awaken to this practiced tendency you have embraced.

Know that you've been rehearsing this for so,…

DOUSING & DISEMPOSERING OURSELVES WITH ACQUIRED HABITS

Version 1.0 | 9.12.2010

Each of us have created and stored disempowering mental states as a result of our feeling vulnerable and over-exposed to the world. These states contain our unprocessed, distorted and obsessed over sensations, feelings and unfelt emotions. They represent our shadow, our pain body.

Take a moment and face this truth: When we…

Trying to Make Sense of It All

Hey Guys,

For many of us, Autumn is approaching as the northern half of the planet begins to seemingly tilt away from the sun. The Fall Equinox is about a week away, and change is much more noticeable as days shorten, temperatures cool and leaves begin to fall. Change is constant, but one thing remains the same, and that reliable constancy is what most of us are all looking for in order to feel safe and secure.

I’ve written a bit about how we tend to go about finding that one… Continue
