Emptiness and Fullness
Posted on Feb. 2, 2012 on David's Blog
On this journey of self discovery there comes a point - which comes again and again - where the conventional activities of the thinking mind (the movements of thought and emotion) have been looked into, seen, and understood to a significant degree with the result that they have much less power to...
I am Life
Posted on Jan. 6, 2012 on David's Blog
The event of being diagnosed with a possible physical "problem" became the material for some inquiry into my true nature.  Why should the body continue?  Am I the body?  Am I the "I" thought that wants to survive, to continue?  Why should this "I...
Readiness
Posted on Dec. 14, 2011 on David's Blog
One way of understanding the process of life - or one dimension of its expression - is as a coming into being of forms - physical, energetic, and thought forms - and the eventual falling away or dissolving of these forms.  The more the dissolution is allowed when it is happening the more joy...
Figure and Ground
Posted on Nov. 16, 2011 on David's Blog
The other evening, while contemplating the question "What Am I?" (in the dyad format employed in Enlightenment Intensive retreats), it became clear that there has been a recent shift in my way of experiencing, a shift which continues to unfold.  It is a kind of reversal of...

Resistance to the Unknown
Posted on Sep. 26, 2011 on David's Blog
  During the night there was suddenly a deeper seeing, a seeing through the idea of the "I", a penetrating look which revealed more clearly than ever before the illusory nature of the I thought, the belief that there is a "doer", an entity called "I" which is real...
Sitting by the Lake Again
Posted on Sep. 1, 2011 on David's Blog
   Sitting, waiting to see if any writing wants to come.  There's only this presence with subtle thoughts arising in it.  The thoughts are weak and don't disturb the sense of silence, peace, stillness.  Even these qualities are seen to be perceived as objects or...

Being with a Feeling: a Small Experiment
Posted on May. 31, 2011 on David's Blog
  Recently while walking to Thetis Lake, I was aware of a feeling that my thoughts were labelling as "feeling neglected" or "abandoned".  Krishnamurti's suggestion to explore being with a feeling without naming, labelling, or evaluating and judging ...
