I had a falling dream the other night.My son and I were crawling across a steel beam that was about two feet wide and 1000 feet off the ground. We were doing it together, inch by inch, very slowly and very carefully. Our deaths were highly probable and we knew it. As we inched across the
In this conversation, Clare shares how suffering and seeking are love in disguise. We talk about how the search for something that will make us feel complete can literally never, ever be won.

I recently spoke to an amazing group of Rewilding Guides in Angus & Rohini Ross’ Rewilding Training Program. The question that kicked off our discussion was: “Is awareness enough?”What’s not enough to realize freedom, is awareness of some pattern or experience that still looks like “me” or “mine”.

There were several things she said she didn’t get about these pointers, but the biggest was this: “Nothing outside of you can make you feel anything”.That’s just NOT true, Alice said.

The worries and concerns that flash in awareness–and they truly are just a flashing reflection of images, sounds, and sensations–are unique.

Amanda Dorolek recently came across this podcast and my books and videos. To say that things are opening up for her is a massive understatement. She’s watching old beliefs and identities fall away.

In the name of protection and survival, minds look for unsettled business they can resolve on your behalf.
