Hello, everybody! Like everybody else in the world I love to talk about my victories while paying scant attention to my defeats. But today I do want to turn the focus onto sessions that don’t work out as planned. I had one yesterday, damn it. Of course it’s not my job to wake anyone […]
Hello, everybody! Don’t forget to join me and San Francisco’s Open Circle on Sunday, January 19 at 10 am Pacific time, 1:00 pm Eastern. I’ll be holding an audio-only two-hour interactive meeting. After a relatively brief introduction I’ll open up the meeting to questions that are relevant to both the topic at large and […]
A friend and client of mine, Cindy R., who lives out on the West Coast, sent me this photo today. It’s wonderful when someone I haven’t spoken to in a while sends me something out of the blue. I know then that I’ve made a difference for them, and that’s really what this is all […]
Hey, folks! These photos were just too funny to resist sharing them with you. Taking ourselves too seriously is just as bad as not taking ourselves seriously enough when it comes to living in awakeness. Roland Jackman, this site’s Web Guru and close friend, sent these to me last night. I present them here for […]
This video is a companion piece to the article, “Working with Our Secret Teacher.” It discusses the broader movements that occur within awakening, which become more evident, and more evident sooner, as enlightenment matures. When we can see a movement taking shape, before it actually takes place, we get to move with it rather […]
Hello, everybody! Before we go into the post, let me say that the live, worldwide audio broadcast I’m doing through San Francisco’s Open Circle Group is on the 19th of January. Anyone can join in. It starts at 1:00 pm EST, which is 10:00 am on the West Coast. I expect the session to last […]
Hello, everybody! Just a quick note to let you know that The Journey Home, Volume 2: Awakening in the Dream has just been released. It’s the 19th of December as I write this, and for the next couple of days the Kindle edition is available for FREE! It has a short bio in it that’s […]
Hello, everybody! Thanks so much for joining me again. Things have been very busy here on the website, on YouTube, and with my bookings since my BATGAP interview. Rick called a Big Bump, and he knoweth of what he speaketh! I’ve had the opportunity to meet a good many Buddha at the Gas Pump viewers—who […]
Hello, everybody! Since they’re coming out in such rapid succession, and I didn’t send out a flier on the video post, “Straight Talk about Enlightenment,” I’m going to update and/or repeat some of the introductory material from that post. What a busy few days it’s been! My Buddha at the Gas Pump (BATGAP) interview was […]
Hello, everybody! It’s great to be with you again! What a busy week! My Buddha at the Gas Pump (BATGAP) interview was recorded on December 1, and is now up and running. Both Rick and I had a great time doing it. It’s a two hour laugh riot, and it’s possible that something profound slipped […]
THE TENTH MAN 19. Boomerang I am confused…. About what? The doctrine. Inevitably: there isn’t any. I mean about how things work…. They don’t. Well, then, about how and what we are? There can be no how or what: we aren’t. Then I am and I am not…. I neither am nor […]
I’ve talked to several clients recently, all of whom have woken up in great clarity, who are now experiencing misidentification. I’m willing to bet the bank that most of the ones I haven’t talked to recently are also dealing with misidentification. That’s the way of it until it isn’t. We feel like we move in […]
Welcome! Thank you for joining us today. I often write about my experience with clients and students, because it’s always fresh, always relevant, and it’s what’s happening out in the field right now. After all, there’s only thing going on, so if we look closely we can always find ourselves in these so-called “others.” I […]
NOTE TO READERS There is also a 15 minute video that accompanies this post. Integrity of Intention YouTube If someone asks me, “How come I keep going back into misidentification (believing that I am the body), a couple of answers will immediately come forth, and since my “answers” usually spill out in the form […]
Hello, everybody! It’s great to be with you in our new home! For those of you who don’t yet know me, the original Awakening Clarity has been on the web since July 31, 2011. Hundreds of thousands of views later, it’s time to move onto something a bit more professional. Awakening Clarity will remain […]
Chapter 1: In the Beginning My life changed forever on November 7, 2004 when I had a grand mal seizure, totally out of the blue. For about a year prior to that I had been having what I affectionately called “revelation spells.” These were brief moments that lasted about a minute or two where […]
Here’s a link to a l-o-n-g excerpt from Peter Dziuban’s new Simply Notice. Hello, everybody! Welcome! Just a quick catch-up on the last two weeks. My business adviser, Sharon Dejarlais, was up here from Florida a week or so ago for a couple of days, and after giving the whole idea […]
Hello, everybody! There’s been quite a lot happening since my last column. ~First off, let me tell you about my trip to Asheville, North Carolina. What a hoot! The folks who live there are terrific! I was universally treated with kindness, and there was great acceptance and appreciation for this teaching. We held a three and a […]
No one writes like Rupert Spira. The first time I ever opened the pages of The Transparency of Things I felt like someone had entered my heart and was whispering to me from it. I could feel his words, and hear them even better than I could take them in visually and process them intellectually. These […]
Welcome! If you’ve not seen the new page, Letters from Ground Zero, do check it out. It’s a series of letters addressed to me, all of them raw, gutsy, and honest, from people who’ve woken up with me. It’s a fascinating, up-close view of the freshly awakened mind. The authors have of course given their permission […]
