Hi Patrick, Presence "took me" to a place I could not envision, which was and is right here. So I'm in paradise right now. I happen to be typing a message to you. That is paradise. Wouldn't the greatest dream lead to a waking up and realization that you are already exactly where you want to be. What...

What can you do when your thougts become really destructive? I mean they are jusr so painful and they hurt. When im inside my body they do slow down but a part of me keeps wandering when they will change and be more positive or just more friendly-I keep telling myself that i am not my thougths but ...

To start with, get familiar again with what's relatively true. Instead of putting the bulk of attention on the story/mind allow attention to rest on your physical surroundings. Become familiar with the senses again - what does it feel like to sit or stand or walk, what does it feel like to sense th...

Kiki said: You can read these words and accept the truth behind them, but until you actually see for yourself, until you actually realize the truth of them, they will remain mere ideas which will keep the mind spinning. Oh, this is so important. All the words from these teachers are pointing to some...

What I mean to say is that even your conclusion itself can't be known through thinking. I mean its a reporting of sorts. And it's useful in that way. But to know what you are saying is to allow this alive knowing to happen in each moment. The difference between accumulated knowledge and active inqui...

Is it God? Who wants or needs to know? And just what is God anyway? Again, who wants or needs to know? Can you see how the mind/ego gets back into it with its relentless need to examine, compare, apply labels to, and judge things? When that is no longer the case everything just unfolds simply, beau...

Regardless what life challenge we have (health, money, relationship, emotion, etc), usually we know a lot without thinking, and the knowing is immediately available. The right plan, action automatically come.

Yes, and this can't be known through thinking. We have to experience this.

Ben, that is great. Have you read Byron Katie's Loving What Is? Great tool for unlocking some of those beliefs that we think won't go away.

Drop the stories and whatever remains is true. That was the message I got at any rate. And I wasn't even searching for the 'why'. It just came unbidden in a quiet moment after I had been sitting with the pain without story and without resistance. Yes, and then to live each moment in that truth. Not...

Yes, that is what I experience. What I am discovering is that many relationships change once you stop supporting your own and others stories.Once you see things as they are, previously huge issues, major disappointments etc. simply vanish. What a wonderful awakening. To live in this fully...each mom...

Every single moment is an opportunity to become very present; by doing that in every situation you can become adept at short circuiting the music when it makes its appearance. Pay attention to other sounds going on around you, to objects and physical sensations/inner body, to smells and the sense o...

Mikel, sounds like a shift to me. Don't look to where it's going.

The mind is the ego the seperated energy form that strengthens itself not by creating unhappiness but perpetuating its own existence ( which results in unhappiness). Right, this is a dream. I recently had the realization, not the belief, but the seeing that everything is One. In that instance, Scot...

Onlynow, thanks. Your post reminds me of what I already see. Nothing is separate.
