Freedom to Manifest ... Whatever …

© 2009 Howard McQueen



The practice of choosing to embrace rather than avoid,

Of accepting rather than rejecting,

Of allowing rather than controlling,

Of Surrendering rather than influencing (in the name of even personal preferences),



Finding peace within whatever is appearing and arising



Brings about the gradual under-mining of habits of Self-avoidance,

of Consciousness avoiding Reality.



Thus we remember to uncloak that which was /… Continue

Addendum to Wakeful Quantum Shadow Dreaming

© 2009 Howard McQueen



I was recently communicating with a friend about a series of disappointments and how my obsession grew into a deep, thick soup of resentment, using that thickening agent “you done me wrong”. As I was communicating with him about this, I really took the time to listen to him and empathize with where he was coming from.



His coming from held a touch of sadism, grief, remorse, apology, courage, resentment, … – and after I took all this in, rather than… Continue

Last night my fever broke.



For over two weeks I have been carrying around an ever-escalating story that a friend has been “doing me wrong”. I’ve built an entire waking dream around this story. I’ve amassed dozens of diary pages to document the story.

I wrote this to a dear friend this morning, then realized it perhaps deserves much wider circulation



What a great ride

A great ride it is (being alive). I see some big hummer waves rollin in that we can catch and ride - together. We might even get tumbled around, scratched up, but what the heck - comes with having some wild abandon fun.

Has anyone lived in a Yurt?

I am entertaining buying and constructing a 30' diameter yurt (see http://coloradoyurt.proxy.calltoday.ws/yurts/yurt_101/index.php) as an example.

Anyone ever stayed in a yurt for a week or longer?
Would anyone considering living in one for a year or longer?

Thanks for any feedback!
