Conversations with God
Hi folks! Sorry about the long quiet period. I think in early February, Julia recommneded to me on email that I take a look at Conversations with God, by Neale Donald Walsch. I am not sure why I actually did take a look, because this is not the kind of thing that would usually appeal [...]
Update
A few days ago a reader alerted me that something was wrong with this site. It was behaving erratically. After fooling with it a bit, I decided it was time for a change anyway. I’ve been writing here for about four years now. Recently much has changed. I feel settled, easy. I believe there is [...]
Fear of life and the Looking
The way it is happening for me is that two years ago I had the recognition on a morning walk that the only problem there is, is fear. With that recognition, much (not all) of the seeking energy dissipitated–I was no longer interested in finding the next secret to awakening. I understood the problem and [...]
The delusion of self
Two years ago I looked into the delusion of self. I wrote about it in the articles categorized as No Self. It’s a simple and direct technique. With focus and intensity, you look for the you in your thoughts, and see that the you in thoughts does not refer to anything. I went through it [...]
Why the recovery is hard
Why this is difficult I like happiness as much as the next guy. But it’s not happiness that sends one in search of truth. It’s rabid and feverish, clawing madness to stop being a lie, regardless of price, come heaven or hell. This isn’t about higher consciousness or self-discovery or heaven on earth. This is [...]

What is my goal? To be a natural human being, free of the insanity the ego and conditioned-pain and destructive patterns and self-limiting thoughts, and free from the energy of seeking and wishing to be different–in short, to be free of fear and its effects. How is it that I am not free right now? [...]
Basics
A year ago I had a fundamental shift, a letting go. I’m not done. But I do feel significantly lighter, more natural, easier. It happened as I recognized that the basic problem with me, and all human beings, is fear. The Buddha said that people suffer. We suffer, not because there is suffering, but because [...]
Losing weight the natural way
I’m losing 10 to 15 lbs a month since May, without effort or dieting. You might wonder why I’m writing about healthy weight management on a website which is about being a natural, free, human being. Well, there are a number of relevant lessons in this. A few years ago I got tired of dieting. [...]
The Relief
What I feel these days is an enormous relief! I think back in May I had a shift. I didn’t quite understand what had happened, and I still don’t have clear words to describe it. I saw that life is perfect, it has always been perfect, mysterious, wondrous, quirky. The only problem with life is [...]
