    Untitled Thoughts #10

    I still don’t really understand why I’d even want post my words and thoughts publicly at length. But I’m reminded of the maxim – “seek first to understand, then to be understood.” So it occurs to me that we really need to understand each other better, and ourselves too for that matter. And thinking aloud… Continue reading

    You know, a better way of posting my writing might be to do a kind of daily digest. I’m fed up with the demand (I make on myself) to polish my writing into some ‘finished’ condition. There are plenty of thoughts I propose that could just go out as they are. Sometimes they’re disjointed, sometimes… Continue reading

    The ego constricts around a more-or-less fixed mode of being. So when the ego is transcended and the constrictions are released, then the manifest being reorients to a more natural, unconstrained mode. And we don’t have any real idea what that might look like. During the ego’s reign fundamental embodied modes of intelligence may well… Continue reading

    What magic comes from Silence? All of it Can’t you see it all comes from Nothing? I’m a voice crying out from the wilderness “It doesn’t matter!” None of it matters Perhaps What matters Is that we suffer Or that suffering is Can be What do we do with that? What can we do? More… Continue reading

The hum of… Continue reading

    Nothing exists in isolation So many conditions that we take for granted For any single thing to occur The existence of a universe is required And everything that ever was Funny that So stay out of it You’re doing less than you imagine Nothing at all in fact What a beautiful day Of course the… Continue reading

    Drop it all Leave it all alone And if you’re still having trouble It means you’ve picked it up again Simple? Yes it is Do I need to elaborate? After that is there any more to say? Is that the final answer? The only instruction? Maybe Any more would be just to assuage doubts Like,… Continue reading

    If we stop giving the mind attentional objects then it will tend to settle into its own non-conceptual, silent nature. It’s simply a case of remaining in an open and non-grasping posture. The mind wants to settle, remaining always in a state of engagement is exhausting. Openness and non-grasping are a relief. But there are… Continue reading

    Is there evidence for the existence of an outside/objective world separate and independent from the awareness in which it appears? We can see that the awareness itself is malleable to an (presumably) infinite degree. Or not. Are there limits to the plasticity of relative arising? Is there a higher and lower limit, a range of… Continue reading

Enlightenment is much simpler and more intimate than you imagine. No bells and whistles, no ecstatic light show; it’s this moment, as it is.
