Re: Precognition
Jac O'Keeffe spoke in October at the SAND conference about psychic abilities. She had them and they confused her before her awakening. I've had many synchronous experiences. I think that latent powers increase with Presence...they are a form of siddhi. Dean Radin has a book out on this: http://www.d...

Re: how do I remain present while being with my memories?
Welcome Fiona - You will enjoy a relatively new book by John Prendergast titled "In Touch." JP is a counseling psychologist and spiritual teacher. He touches on this and other useful perspectives. If you are worrying about "not being Present enough" to write your book, and worrying about your experi...

Re: Unbiased observer
Welcome Unbiased observer - May I requote Jean Klein, from "In Touch" by John Prendergast: "Do not fornicate with the witness." Klein makes the point that becoming attached to an identity as a separate witness is a trap common to long-time meditators who can sit in observation of their thoughts. Pre...

Try Byron Katie's "the work" - it is a cognitive stress-release technique: http://thework.com/en.
Your statement would be something like "Not being able to see my boyfriend when I want is wrong."

Re: Can anyone help me, please?
I'm sure there is a spectrum, Dcs. Perhaps for you, the capacity to see through ego has arrived earlier!

Thanks, Sputnik, great advice! There are a number of nonduality groups in Seattle (I'm in Spokane.)

Re: Facing the Pain
Welcome Jill - Tensions and stresses arise. Take a moment and let them be...be Present with them rather than trying to run away or deny them. You don't have to "feed" them, just be aware. My experience is that they enter a kind of crucible of Pure Awareness then, and begin to lose their capacity to ...

Re: Can anyone help me, please?
Way beyond my skill set and so forth. You will need professional help. I wish you well.I keep thinking, did she even go to a supermarket? Or did she just appear in my own mind? That is scary. Please tell me this isn't true. I feel like I'm going mad.

Re: Can anyone help me, please?
Of course you are unique in your body-mind-personality...in your style, preferences and skills......in the relative world (maya.) Even after awakening, even before awakening, even during awakening. At your age, according to Eckhart, you are still ruled by your ego. He was very clear on this in one o...

Re: Struggle with husbands change over the years
Eckhart says there are three ways to deal with challenges like this: accept the situation, change the situation or leave the situation. Accepting may be hard, changing may be hard, leaving may be hard. But not accepting, not changing and not leaving is a recipe for suffering. You will have to pick o...

Re: Processing Trauma
Welcome Redmoon! There are conditions of ego and personality (conventionally known as the 'self' ) that benefit greatly from the many therapeutic modalities that have been developed and practiced in the last 110 years. Many nondual spiritual teachers recognize this and a number of them will send dis...

Re: Can anyone help me, please?
As a coda to kiki's and WW's fine comments, I would remind you that Ramana Maharshi taught that the ego depends on the "I thought." That thought is the precursor to all other thoughts "about yourself." Absent the "I thought," there is no ego, really. However, a microsecond after the "I thought" arri...
