Mindful Reality is what I call my practice—and the body of work I have developed—and I will just say it is simply being mindful of reality. Originally, it came from part of the title of my first book: Body Over Mind: a mindful reality check. Though the practice is one of self-inquiry, which the title […]

Summer Offerings
Hi All, It has been a while since I last posted. Strange year for us all! I am still working slowly yet consistently on my third book and some other related projects (I have been building an online course on Mindful Reality and am contemplating turning the 100+ Blog posts accumulated on this site into […]
Automaticity of Time and Action
Time is all that needs to occur to make everything happen and that is free, completely free. It is our proof that there is nothing to figure out or generate. See how it comes by itself. There is nothing you need to feel you have to do, nothing. There is no such thing as doing […]
People Watching
People watching anywhere is composed of watching bodies move. This is how we know what they’re doing. Do we ever watch our own body move? It’s simple to do. Though of course we can’t see all our body parts, we know they are together as a whole. We rarely, if ever, think to observe our […]
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 […]
Beyond Tension and Belief
Tension blocks perception. It makes us believe things that aren’t true. It evokes a feeling that we drum up thoughts and actions that really do themselves. Physical/mental tension relays an impression of personal causation, self-created productivity. Tension fashions an illusion, but it is not that difficult to see through. When we have a new idea, […]
Soothing the Mind
Give the mind what it wants; it likes to have something to focus on. Minds like attachments and we don’t have to deprive them of this. We just need to give them the right ones so there isn’t so much anxiety. Generally, we obsess over our mental/emotional attachments because we don’t know how to get […]
Easy to Know, Hard to Accept
Our body in the space is no small thing. It is not comparable to a story about how we should spend our time. It is substantial proof, the ultimate truth about our life and how we are supposed to be living; it is primary information handed to us, just like that. Meanwhile, our mind […]
Actions Are Involuntary
Involuntary. What do I mean? I mean that the event occurs without a will. How can we prove this? Because all our bodily movements occur, from our perspective, no differently than our breath or heartbeat. They’re just happening, and they are our only actions. Actions feel like something mental, so that is how we identify […]
Something Else
If we are not doing the things we believe we should be doing, then the message is that we are supposed to be doing “something else.” Often, the things I am doing are not in my mental line of vision, so, I don’t even recognize them as “things.” We align and attach to certain interests […]
