(An excerpt from my book, Body Over Mind: a mindful reality check) Though in real time we are always engaged in a continual flow of physical activity, we mentally experience ourself to be moving in and out of action. We perceive our behavior to have a stop, start quality, as implied in the thought pattern, “I […]

Everything Is Mindless
If you leave yourself alone, you can notice that your heart beats by itself, without your efforted assistance. You can also observe that your breathing occurs on its own, whether you are paying attention to it or not. In this vein, you can also see that you are naturally in the space you are physically […]
Mindful Reality-The Practice
Mindful Reality asks you to put your physical reality up against the things you feel pressure to change in your life. I call this work a mindful reality check. Action, that is, “doing something,” is the central focus of my work because it is my observation that our suffering comes from a feeling that we […]

Proof of Action: A Personal Reality Check
Another excerpt from my book: “Body Over Mind: a mindful reality check” If all we ever did was place one foot in front of another, moving us in one spatial direction only, it would be apparent that our whole life was a straight line path of physical movement. Everybody’s life completes some pattern like this, a […]
The “Tube”
This is an excerpt from my first book: I like to tune into what I call the Tube, which is a personal timeline of our step by step life process. As we use the clock as a reference point for tracking our daily activities, I find it a useful tool for monitoring our moment to […]
Entry #1: The Work
I am experimenting with a different way of blogging, at the moment. I recorded myself today in a free-flowing manner to begin (we will see) a series of entries about the work I have developed (what I call Mindful Reality) and my relationship to it. I warn you that although it makes the basic points, […]
