As I have now been a self-published author for 6 years, have written two books and am 3 ½ years into my third, I would like to take this blog in a new direction. Thus far I have written in the style of the subject matters in my books. Being that there are many aspects […]

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, […]
Now Actions
Your future actions will occur the same way as your past actions, since they are both just your now actions.
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, […]
Stare at Now
Stare at now and see that it is the same thing as next. How can we differentiate them? Even if we dot this immediate second and call it “now,” we know that that itself is made up of milliseconds or even the microunits running on a stopwatch, none to be identified as singular. Stare at […]
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 […]
New Beginnings
Hi all, My blogging has slowed down a bit lately, and I imagine it is because I have been developing a Mindful Reality podcast, which will hopefully launch shortly! It consists of writing scripts, editing the scripts, recording, editing the recordings, etc. I am very excited about the endeavor as it is a wonderful way […]
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 […]
Guaranteed for Life
We like guarantees. They are reliable, effectively predictable. Here is one. If we are alive, our body is somewhere. Yeah, so what? Big deal! Well, it is a big deal because it isn’t how our mind perceives our predicament. We don’t sense that we are always somewhere because we mentally live inside our head, spinning […]
