If you’ve been in The Little School of Big Change or you’ve watched some Ask Amy’s, you know my teeth.I use these wind-up, plastic, chattering teeth to illustrate how our mind seems to work. Bright red plastic gums and tall, shiny white teeth. You wind them up and they chatter and chomp around your table.Everyone
The only reason you may not feel full of confidence, peace, and clarity is because you identify with experience moving through as who-you-are. You mistake what you think, feel, and do for who-you-are. We all do.It’s a simple misunderstanding. A clear-cut case of mistaken identity.I’m not only talking to you, of course. This mistaken identity
I love the word giddy. I love the feeling of it too. Who doesn’t?When’s the last time you felt giddy?Giddy is the feeling of so much energy–the energy that creates worlds–bubbling to the surface.So much pure, wild energy that you wiggle and bounce. Your face does funny things like Willow’s in this picture. You giggle.
She thought she was lost. She thought she couldn’t do it on her own.She searched and searched. She sought out teachers and guides and supposed wizards. She went on a journey. She made new friends and learned about herself and her powers along the way. But the journey didn’t get her any closer to home
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
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 met a beautiful, wise woman yesterday. She told me a story about how it was for her 10 years ago.It was a tough time in her life. She had recently left one habit behind, only to find herself in another. The fallout from her latest habit found her without a driver’s license for several
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.
