Life is so intelligently organized and self-organizing that it is only the habit of un-awareness that causes us to think and behave as if we could improve on its design, or ignore or resist it! Yet, when we yield to it – the experience of enlightenment – living becomes effortless. We’ve got out ot the way and allowed Life to live us! Magnificently. Joyously. Limitlessly.
Sensations are set alight by the slightest touch or movement. I lightly scratch the skin at the base of my scalp and my left leg tingles like a string of flashing Christmas light bulbs. I can sink from the zone of thoughts into the soma, feeling my breath so acutely, noticing how, even though I […]

Think of meditation not as a pill for instant or short term relief though it might provide that.

Miracles are commonplace when our conditioned perception of reality is unhinged. When we are able to see that, while we walk a time-space bound reality, we are in fact of a reality that is fundamentally timeless and infinite.
