Some suggestions about Self remembering
Assume your subject, yourself, is a person you know absolutely nothing about, even if you are an an old-hand or so-called expert like me.
It has to be absolutely fresh every time. Consider every moment like you are witnessing the birth of an entire new universe and you will be on […]
the Fragmented Self . . . Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
July 29, 2008
Here I am setting in Ojai, gazing out the window at an expanse of green leaves.
The air was smoky last night, due to the large fire about fifty miles east of here.

the practical nature of Compassion and Selflessness
June 11, 2008

Paradoxically, the most practically self interested person, the one most successful at achieving his heart’s desire, […]

Empower yourself!
Tell yourself this from time to time …
Right now, this moment, I confer upon myself the power to make decisions, right or wrong about what is right for me. No one else truly understands what I need!

Not Madness, but Freedom!
April 27, 2008
Recently I’ve been reading a fascinating book called “Buddhahood Without Meditation, by Dudjom Lingpa (about 1895) This book de-constructs the notion that we have a separate Self in a series of visions, dreamings. It uses a number of logical arguments to perform the deconstruction process. It’s different than anything else […]
