It is seeing your face for the first time.
Walking to the mirror, someone is seen staring back. Those features are familiar, but the recognition cannot be built into an experience to be had, or a static sheet of info for later reference. It is a unique being that stares back. It is [...]

Question of the Week: 8/11 - 8/17
I listened to your last podcast and have a question. Isn’t the relationship between the teacher and the student necessary for the student to progress to the next level? Aren’t the teachers there to point out the door for us?
Let’s be clear about one thing first: [...]

This podcast covers: questioning the various systems and ideas of teaching, the need for the teacher at all, and one’s ability to find out for oneself.
This is a bit long, and was recorded in one take. Takuin was surprised at what came out.
If any of you have ideas of podcast subjects you [...]

One gazes up into the night sky, seeing the millions of points staring back. If there is such a thing as divinity, One is that very thing.
It is not the divinity of the church, or the divinity of the god of knowledge, or the knowledge that builds gods, builds the difference between [...]
In my last post, Uzma made this request:
Tell us more of Bruce Lee’s philosophy in your own words and understanding. Something strikes a chord, with you and Bruce Lee. Am intrigued. Both by your article and Bruce Lee himself. Tell us more please, if you don’t mind.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the death of Bruce Lee. I felt it necessary to say a few words.
Bruce had a huge influence on my thinking during my late twenties. And even though I carry none of what I took with me at that time, I am forever grateful to him. (I won’t go [...]
This post is an extension of a conversation going on over at Tom Stine’s blog on the post Thank You Eckhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey.
Before we get into it, if you have not been to Tom’s site (TomStine.com), get over there right now and look into it. It is a wonderful place to spend time, [...]
NOTE: This post is one of the first I ever wrote. I recently found it on my computer along with other somewhat interesting writings. I have no idea who asked the question (I can’t remember), but thanks, whoever you are.
Also, I received a question recently about the Question of the Week. “Where do you get [...]
I am a big fan of Aesop’s Fables. You can find no better material describing the movement of thought and the self (although you may need to use your imagination to do so).
According to legend, Aesop was a slave in Greece during the 6th century B.C. Here is a bit from Wikipedia:
During the reign of [...]
Question of the Week: 6/30 - 7/6
A recent question through e-mail:
Are you a member of any religious, philosophical, or spiritual organisation? You never really talk about that, but it seems to me that you’d be resistent to the idea.
Because one is not a member does not mean that one is resistant. It simply means one [...]
