Supporting Non-Duality and Awakening in Asheville and Beyond

© 2009 Howard McQueen

We were created and have evolved to Believe and Manifest limitless possibilities.
We have been conditioned, mostly by fellow humans, our past experiences (or at least our retained memories of these experiences), and the continuous viral influence of our culture.

We grow and cultivate filters,
We grow and cultivate judgments.
Self defensive strategies coalesce into energetic armor.
Self offensive strategies are rewarded, stimulating competition, aggression and Darwinian survival practices.

Somewhere in the midst of all this are smatterings of faith, love, kindness, forgiveness, fair play, co-operation, community service, devotion …

These embers smolder, their circulation restricted by the high-rise structures we create to accumulate security, reward, recognition, intimacy, excitement …

And when our attempts to obtain or sustain these high-rises collapse or are foreclosed upon, we often rail or wail about life being difficult, not fair, unjust.

As we awaken to the calls from our suffering, beyond the surface dis-empowerment, we often find rage awaiting us. We blindly vent this pressure at parents (does not matter that they are dead), loved ones and even Creator.

“Why did you make me this way”
“I should not be trapped within these dilemmas”

“I was not made to carry all this baggage”

The moment is ripening,
The Self urging not another negotiation,
or even a truce,
but unconditional surrender.

But how? – when the task is so fundamental as to be rooted at the cellular level!
