There’s nothing wrong with desire. It is however a form of seeking. In acceptance of the eternal now there’s only what is happening. *** When in flow nothing need be pursued. *** Honest and clear desire pursued is not just about self gratification but more importantly the fulfillment of physiological need. We are a well... Continue Reading →
As someone who has utilized mindfulness as the cornerstone of my own healing process I have to say that what is wrong with most pop treatments of meditation in general is that they fail to warn the reality. It's taken years of profound mindfulness practice that has demanded going deep into the darkest parts of the human psyche...in this process I've learned how to listen to my body and follow my own guidance. I've learned to shut out all the multiple conditioned voices of our ugly capitalistic system and come back to myself. ... What they don't tell you is that mindfulness in process...deep profound, honest mindfulness can alienate and isolate while on the way to well-being.
passion and fear ~~ You're totally into it. We get it. Awesome. Now stop thinking that just because it's wonderful for you that means everyone needs it and now. That's bs. We all need different things at different times. The days that this thing is hot stuff for you may well come to an end as well
NEW POST - On the razors edge - look to the right it's the shadow, hell, the abyss. Turn your head and it's the light...take in the whole entire shebang and you're right here right now. Heaven and hell. Living on the edge of everything. Tantra. The mystery of the unknown.
Our world has been in crisis for a long time. Some people are only now just waking up to it. If we've not been sleeping then we just keep on doing the same thing. Life is change. *** The hardest evolutionary work on the planet is being done by the disenfranchised, the oppressed, those in poverty, the unhoused, those labeled mentally ill, those considered addicts etc. The sensitive are the last. The last shall come first.

Ego Anonymous: 1. We admitted we were powerless — we have no ultimate control over anything and this body will die one day. We are fighting this fact in one way or another. This fight is insane because it’s in contradiction to reality. 2. Came to believe that Nature could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to life-force as we understand it 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves 5 Shared our pain/trauma with life-force, ourselves, and with friends. 6. Were entirely ready to have life-force transform all our trauma. ...
Back to normal? This is the world I know....thank god others are waking up to the destruction humanity has wrought. The air is clean, the animals are returning to places they've not been for decades.
I've been in isolation for over a decade with no appropriate medical care. This is my third pandemic as well. The AIDS pandemic...I worked at the beginning when young men were dying like flies. And the pandemic of murder by psychiatric meds. Going on everyday and denied by most. This is my life in isolation. I haven't been pretending the world isn't falling apart.
Maybe others will join us now...those of us who are paying attention. Let it be.
first! thanks to those of you who have made donations towards my yoga teacher training. I'm now officially enrolled. I'm excited. It's the first ongoing commitment I have made (outside of my home) in 10 years. I was explicit about my limitations and they remained enthusiastic about my participation. I will continue taking donations. I've paid for one third of the $3000 tuition fee. I have until June to finish paying in monthly installments. Any help will continue to be much appreciated. ***and now some regularly scheduled odds and ends for your perusal:
Coming to love our "negative" feelings is part of the deal when we're healing. The parts we like the least must be incorporated. You've got to love those babies too. The problems start when we deny of those types of feelings. That's when they get ugly. No feelings are bad. Feelings are neutral. feeling them is not acting on them. We must feel them if we hope to ever come into flow. ...
