We are lived.We’re moved through life by the formless energy that is who-we-are. It guides us, bringing experience to life moment-by-moment in real time.We’re lived by the space beyond temporary, fluctuating form, where both everything and nothing exists. That infinite intelligence is pure potential, pregnant-with-everything, and also completely open and void of any thing. It’s
Five kids from the neighborhood are playing telephone in my backyard. The phrase is “Koala bears are cute and pandas bears are cuddly”.Willow whispers it to Sergio, who repeats it to Lilly, who passes it along to Lucas. By the time Lucas whispers the phrase to Miller, it comes out as “Koalas are cute when
A couple weeks ago, I boarded a 36 ft. RV with my family. That’s us just before taking off. We look happy, don’t we?The day we picked up the RV, it was huge. It had a king size bed, 1.5 baths, and 3 televisions. Insane, right?By the morning of Day 2, it was a little
It’s easy to worry your way through these uncertain days.
Binge watching the news. Binge eating and drinking everything in sight. Numbing in whatever way brings you momentary comfort.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Although your outside freedoms may be limited, your internal freedom never is. And although there are a million things that “could happen”, those have nothing to do with life in this very moment.
I wanted to record this special class for you, to speak to some of the common questions and worries I’ve been hearing. I hope this helps you view worry, uncertainty, anxiety and habits in a new way.
Please be well, and consider spending your time looking in the direction of this deeper understanding. It’s full of good news.
Listen to my podcast or others. Read and watch things that remind you who you are beyond your fleeting experience. And please reach out of you need support.
Willow begged and begged (and begged) for another dog after Buddha died.She made lists of extra chores she’d do and she did them all.She wrote a persuasive essay on why she should have another dog. She created slideshows showing us everything a dog needed and exactly how she’d train and care for a dog if
I knew someone with a very sensitive stomach. The tiniest bit of worry and she’d instantly feel sick.She cursed her stomach. Saw it as a weakness, a flaw.She wanted her stomach fixed. Her mind was full of potential ways I might help her toughen up her wimpy tummy. Could we train it to not react
Feeling unhappy is a habit.What else could it be?It’s not your nature. It’s not a feature of your conditions or surroundings. It’s not dictated by your DNA.It’s simply where your mind goes.You unknowingly picked it up at some point, the way you unknowingly pick up an accent or a virus.It’s where your mind goes so
Imagine yourself a chef.There is an infinite number of meals you could conceivably prepare, with a staggering number of ingredients available on this planet.And you, as a human being, are part of an even more infinite (it’s possible, trust me) source of creativity and brand new thought.Words can’t begin to describe the potential.But just like
Time and time again, I’ve seen that when we set aside a few minutes to be quiet and fall out of our thinking, there is an incredible feeling waiting on the other side.Without exception—in groups I’ve led and in those I’ve participated—when the room falls silent and our minds fall silent-er, at least a few
Our understanding of how human beings work is undergoing a pretty massive transformation. Love, compassion, and understanding used to be qualities we could bring into our lives to combat the very real problems of separation, confusion, and disconnection.Now we know that love, compassion, and understanding are who we are.
