Tom, thank you for transcribing that discussion; I enjoyed looking at that. Tom : In fact, several of the references show they constitute pointing instructions to the secret permanence amidst change. This emphasis on permanence... More »

So are you any different than Isha, then? I would say no. However, i'm not sure what she would say? I wonder if she is open to what they teach or merely insists that they... More »
So are you any different than Isha, then? I suppose I'm curious about what you're trying to achieve. Should gurus be banned? Should spiritual teachers be licensed? If people feel they want a guide, what's... More »
Bruce: "On the other hand, I believe you are talking about nonduality as a particular state experience, not an “understanding” that things are “not one, not two." Would you be happy to agree that... More »

In the spirit of "Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water...After enlightment chop wood, carry water." I probably would not do very much different at all... OK, maybe I would watch less reality TV. But I... More »

The outer purpose belongs to the horizontal dimension of space and time; the inner purpose concerns a deepening of your Being in the vertical dimension of the timeless Now.
The secret of life is to "die before you die" -- and find that there is no death.
"How" is always more important that "what." See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it.
If a fish is born in your aquarium and you call him John, write out a birth certificate, tell him about his family history, and in two minutes he gets eaten by another fish -- that's tragic. But it's only tragic because you projected a separate self where there was none. You got hold of a fraction of dynamic process, a molecular dance, and a separate entity out of it.
Please open your eyes now, but keep attention in the inner energy field of the body as you look around the room. The inner body lies at the threshold between your form identity and your essence identity, your true nature. Never lose touch with it.
In a fully functional organism, an emotion has a very short life span. It is like a momentary ripple or wave on the surface of your Being.
The philosopher Descartes believed that he had found the most fundamental truth when he made his famous statement: "I think, therefore I am." He had, in fact, given expression to the most basic error: to equate thinking with Being and identity with thinking.
The pain-body wants to survive, just like every other entity in existence, and it can only survive if it gets you to unconsciously identify with it.
You don't need to condemn. Just observe, That is sin. That is insanity. That is unconsciousness. Above all, don't forget to observe your own mind. Seek out the root of the insanity there.
Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment.
