We create, over time, through worrying and anxiety thinking, as well as logically working things out, and talking about it, and all sorts of strategies, a world in which the thing we fear doesn't exis...

Loving Kindness Wins. I repeat this message over and over because it is true and powerful if you allow it to soak into you. At our core we are the energy, the light, of loving kindness. So this instru...

 I met a human man today. His pants were covered in shit. His mother died today. He stood in a parking lot, in a hedge along the wall, waiting for his girl. She had run off with another man. He waited...

Loving Kindness Wins! If you are scared, anxious, angry, fearful of the future – Loving Kindness Wins. Remember this, and practice this.  Loving Kindness Wins.

 Friendships.

• “Why does it always have to be me that reaches out?”
• “Shouldn’t they also put in the effort?”
• “I called them last time so it’s their turn now.”
• “The phone works both ways you know.

 A while back I sat on a zoom call with one of my teachers, a powerful masculine energetic being. It came time for me to ask my question. I said – so, I’ve been through a long period of contraction, o...

Now that we are taking care of the basics and have begun to move by walking the Path of Tiger, and we have gone a ways down the path, and things have become a little easier than they were at the begin...

A story for those feeling overwhelm in life. That feeling of not being able to move, crushed by everything being too much. And a possible path through – how you might work to dissipate this.

I l...

 Have you connected to and noticed moments of Basic Goodness this past week? As we open our heart more and more to these moments of Basic Goodness, we may feel joy, wonder, delight, and magic.

And...

 In this series we have been practicing discovering the Basic Goodness all around us: in ourselves, in others, in the outdoors, in the very fabric of this reality. I hope that you’ve been able to get ...

 If you’ve been practicing with seeing and experiencing the Basic Goodness of your heart, even a little, you’ve been setting the foundation for something even bigger: expanding that sense of Basic Goo...

This is the first of a four part series where we bring our focus to Basic Goodness. This is how we can relax within groundlessness, because we get to know everything is okay. 

Discovering real goo...

I created something over the past few months. A powerful act of conscious creation.

I lost 105 lbs in weight (47 kgs or 7.5 stone) from 320 lbs to 215. From size 4XL to comfortably in size Large. Fro...

My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. My mind tight and fixed, thinking of how unbelievably rich are the people that come here. Families, with the patriarch standing by the fireplace of the mas...

I have a funny story to tell you. It’s kinda crass, in that it’s a story about intense bodily functions, so I’m putting that warning out there upfront so that you can proceed with caution.

I was i...

 They. This mysterious they.

“Why are they doing it like that?”

“Can you believe that they haven’t done that yet?”

This concept of “they” is a powerful linguistic construction. It allows an enor...

 A story of suffering, of the hero journey that we can undertake if we choose it, and an offer of help.

I was deeply agoraphobic. For almost a year I could not leave the house, and there were year...

Human-built environments are digital, digitized, bitted, quantized. They are binary or ternary or decimal. They have hard edges and extents, which exist in specific pre-defined sizes with nothing in b...

Being in a funk and just not being able to get out of it is a very familiar state to me. It doesn’t happen any more, but it did for a long time. This is a challenging topic to write about, because one...

Today I woke up to a sloggy day. My mind and body are unsynchronized. I want to do stuff, but also don’t want to do anything. I want to eat something, but also don’t. I’ve got things to do, and don’t ...

 The snow falls like an army outside my window
The white soldiers descend in lines so straight.
An invading spiritual army,
against which the human landscape has no defense.

For a while the roads and...

Vision web is a journaling tool, i.e. something that we do with pen and paper that helps us with an aspect of our life. Personally I have found it to be one of the most powerful tools I’ve ever encoun...

I’ve become keenly aware over the past few years of what I call knife edge moments, where we are forced willingly or unwillingly to lick the sharp blade of nowness – directly engage with this world.

 Yesterday I cleaned the stove. Spritzed some cleaner on the stovetop, and reveled in cleaning each speck of grease off it until it shone, reflecting the light from the window in its dark brown surfac...
