Supporting Non-Duality and Awakening in Asheville and Beyond

How do we, once we have opened our heart,
live in a world with others
that behave in heartless ways?
Before we talk about everyone else,
we could perhaps ask ourselves
“how needy are we to receive the love of others?”
When we try to woo another
to win their affections and acceptance,
we often overlook the flaws and the wounds
that need to be seen, in order to be…

Life unfolds in an infinitely high-definition, broadband overflow,
containing levels of granularity that are unknowable.
Most of the time, we are blessed to be insulated from this
overwhelming flow.
And yet, blessings can just as easily morph into curses,
as we rely upon our filters to create assumptions
that dumb-down our experiences.
This can lead to insular expectations for how we…

An abiding love does not hold back.
It waits for opportunities to express its
myriad commitments to loving.
One who has this abiding love overflows from source,
feeling a deep, sweet centeredness
assert itself throughout their days.
An abiding love’s sweetness is contagious,
as it lands upon others as unconditional encouragement.
An abiding love brings us the lesson…

Our assessments,
our judgments
levied upon our self
"You failed under pressure"
"You failed to keep the marriage intact"
" You ... "
These judgments lodge very deep,
residing underneath
veiled and cloaked.
They are like silent thieves,
bands of saboteurs,
contract assassins.
They actualize self-limiting and…

Venture forth blithe spirit,
for this universe is your home.
This abundant world of natural resources

This brief pilgrimage,
Feel it all,

and become increasing aware

You and I, we have an evolutionary opportunity to learn to intentionally over-ride and re-interpret our fear-based survival programming.
When we are terrified, we can be so closed down as to be petrified. No doubt, this is an ancient self-preservation technique - staying hunkered down in the presence of great danger.
Test pilots develop a level of split focus, staying cool enough to report the reality…

Being firm and gentle,
being fierce and at peace,
being Yin and Yang.
When facing a choice between OR & AND,
seek the wisdom and liberation of AND
If you hold the paradoxes of the world within,
you will grow your perspectives
to encompass all of the human condition.
Then, there is no longer judgment
AND there becomes understanding,…

From the Don Miguel Ruiz Daily Email Archives
Miracles happen when you forgive. You are born with the capacity to forgive, but you learn the opposite behavior. You learn not to forgive, you practice not to forgive. When you learn to let go of your pride and ask for forgiveness, miracles start to happen in your life.

When sex is chased after as an intoxicant,
the practicing of sex energies self-inflicted addictions.
When sex is expressed as a celebration of union,
body, mind and spirit are reunited
as an expression of healing and integration.
The physical, emotional and energetic bodies,
are flushed, rinsed and washed clear.
Sex can be practiced in so many ways,
with so many…

Yesterday afternoon I crawled into bed
feeling like all my friends and family had died.
Not quite knowing it, I came to realize
that I felt, deeply, situationally depressed.
I felt this in my eyes,
as a deeply draining vacuum,
sucking the life out of my vision for a future,
without any room or possibility
for any joie de vivre.
Back into this moment,
this time…
