Eddies in the Stream

“Just before quantum potentiality coalesces into actuality, the eternally emergent edge of now is as free as anything can ever be.”

A beautiful, poetic story of the new neuro-dharma. I found it very moving. Take the time to read all the way through to the end : )

Rivers flow and eddies form.

An eddy is a relatively stable pattern whose elements continually change. It is “standing-streaming,” a term from Evan Thompson’s marvelous book, Mind in Life.

All eddies disperse eventually. Continue Reading »

A short clip from Wayne’s last visit. With each of his visits to London, my heart opens more and more to Wayne and his simple, profound message to inquire for ourselves into the true nature of things. During his weekend talk, one of things that moved me most from what he had to share was the encouragement to “not know,” to not rest the mind in a set of concepts or beliefs and therefore cease to investigate. For some, he challenged the notion that we are separate independent entities with power to act apart from the Universe. For others, who had developed a firm belief that there a are no individuals, only Totality, he challenged this idea, pointing back to our experience in this moment of seeing clearly that there is a you over there and me over here. In this way he pulled the rug out from under all concepts, leaving nothing for the mind to hold onto, exposing a deeper truth that exists beyond any conceptual knowing. I found my mind silenced in its search for an idea to stand on and what remains is this tingling moment of existence, beyond all description.

“The Intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift” – Albert Einstein

In my experience every human being is intuitive. Developing this ability is a matter of practicing like we would do for any other discipline.

Through a variety of exercises it is possible to access and honor this sacred gift. Being intuitive, or tapping into our psychic skills, can be a very ordinary experience, and at times much easier than we think. The advantages of using this innate ability is that the quality of our life can change to the better. We learn to slow down, to recognise an “inner voice” and act accordingly, to better discern the available options when making decisions, and also to be more in tune and connected with what is really happening around us – and in the world.

March 13 & 14
Sharing for Women & Developing Intuition workshop

During our afternoons we will experiment with some exercises together with sharing and meditation.

Life is to be lived!

Excerpt from an email from Paul Lowe to his list today. If you would like to subscribe to PaulsList please visit his web site www.paullowe.org.

A Sufi saying: “Life is a bridge – don’t try and build a house on it.”

So look at this possibility: Life is to be lived. Lived!!!

Not to be observed, studied, understood, but Lived. If you have done anything before, it is old. This dimension is so vast there is no need to keep doing the same thing, in the same place, in the same way, with the same people. Really: “Take no thought of the morrow” – live.

Blocked habits and feelings

In a letter a friend wrote:

“… there are many many things that can keep us in our mind habit being one of them yes, but our many unexpressed feelings can block us too .”

My response:

Interesting questions: Mental habits and unexpressed feelings are blocking us. Therefore we need to try to overcome the habits, and to allow for unexpressed feelings to unblock so that we can attain “all peace we are looking for.”

I think that most people, most of the time, (once they are not worried about basic survival) are concerned with, challenged by, and identified with just these sorts of questions. Especially the latter.

Behaviour

This is a great email from Paul Lowe to his list today. If you would like to subscribe to PaulsList please visit his web site www.paullowe.org.

.

I have often been asked about behaviour. Although they don’t realise it, most people, for almost all of the time, behaviour is all they use. They do not know they are operating through behavioural patterns. They think the way they act/speak/think is who they are. They do not realise that behaviour is just an operating system – to avoid who they really are in the moment.

It is not easy to talk to behaviour – about behaviour.

I have also often been asked how it is that so very few people are ‘free’ – Continue Reading »

Haiti in my heart

Looking at what’s been happening in the world the past weeks I came to see once again the insignificance and yet the preciousness of a single life, including mine.

It’s such an easy thing to feel touched by what I read in the newspapers, then make a donation, write a few emails to friends encouraging them to do so too, and yet turn away without really taking it in – all the way.

I have spent hours watching, reading and researching about the Haiti earthquake. Then, I came across this article from Katie Couric “The Human Face of Haitian Tragedy” on the Huffington Post. Continue Reading »

“I am inviting you to join me for six transformative days, to allow yourselves to be touched in your innermost core, and to take this opportunity to step forward fearlessly, with joy and gratitude, into the wonderful celebration of this blessed gift -Your Life.”

The Satori Process

The name Satori is Japanese and means a “direct experience of truth”. It is based around some very fundamental life questions, the most basic and enduring one for all of us being “Who am I”?

A Satori is a moment of profound realisation, a knowing of life as it is. And it is Continue Reading »
