This is a wonderful little clip that describes precisely what I write about in my books and on this blog. I hope you will have a listen! Book Information

Your Life Is Set
Your life is set, like a table. You are always there, here, in a place among other things, people, surfaces. You can brace against that physical life-setting by tensing your muscles and fighting in your thoughts, or not. Either way, you are still occupying that space, physically (like part of a table-setting), in a room, […]
What’s the Matter?
Your body is simply where it is. You can see this. And, here it is again, with the next stroke of the clock. There was nothing to do to make that progression of time or presence in space happen. No effort. This is how our whole life will be, never anything more complicated, even if […]
Now Actions
Your future actions will occur the same way as your past actions, since they are both just your now actions.
Absent of Meaning
Where we find our body is the only place it can be. There is no other possibility of action for any given moment. This removes choice in the way we generally think of it. Without the option of choice, we are left with the physical conditions of our body and its activity, no differently than […]
A Mirage of Imaginative Doing
The myth of doing, as I entitled my second book, refers to the illusion that there is something we can do to enable things to happen in our life. It is like a fleeting mirage of this “thing” we can do that is other than where our body just is in space, in its activity, […]
The Moving Now
“Now” is made up of milliseconds and beyond. Now, or “this” moment isn’t a fixed time. Time doesn’t stand still. What’s more interesting is the way now feels. It’s always the same quality, and always happening. If we stare at a second-hand moving as we say “now,” we can realize the movement aspect of now. […]
Watch Television All Day Long
Though I happen to be a big fan of television, well, only the shows that speak to me, I don’t mean for you to take this title literally. It is meant to serve as an analogy, a good one, a way we can feel like we can watch TV all day long, a mini-series or […]
Thoughts Appear
My practice focuses on the fact that our actions do themselves, since they are only the placement/existence of a body in space in relation to other physical objects of interaction. That dynamic forms a sentence, a description, how we label things (“I am sitting on the couch watching television”). We naturally feel like our thoughts […]
The Ability to See
How do we know what we’re doing? We see it. How else could we possibly know? It feels like we know things from the inside. We know, perhaps, what we think and feel, but even these perceptions emerge in our awareness, display themselves to us, which also requires a type of seeing. We know something […]
