So What?

My clients come to see me with sometimes sad, crazy, unpredictable, irritated, altruistic, calm, sublime, lustful, brilliant, anxious, poetic, ugly, murderous, hideous, self-centered, terrified, thinking. My thinking can also be sometimes sad, crazy, unpredictable, irritated, altruistic, calm, sublime, lustful, brilliant, anxious, poetic, ugly, murderous, hideous, self-centered, and terrified. When my clients leave and move onContinue reading “So What?”

Peace Already Here

We can never find peace in thoughts – at least, not permanent peace. Real peace is before thought. It is the space in which thought arises. This space is Mind.  This space is what all of us and every animate and inanimate object already are. Just stay here. No effort needed.

Personal Thought or Mind?

We usually walk around imagining that our moment-to-moment experience of life is the result of situations and people around us: * I’m irritated because that guy cut me off in traffic * I’m cranky because I have to go to work early * I’m bummed because my boyfriend or girlfriend wants to end our relationshipContinue reading “Personal Thought or Mind?”

The Wasps in Your Head

Last week, I was with a client who was struggling. We were discussing the role Thought plays in creating our moment-to-moment experience of life.

The realization of the Principles themselves,Continue reading “The 3 Principles”

Vacation Mind
