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.

With the former, it is like looking through a microscope; we must sidestep our mind’s eye which blocks our direct vision of […]
What Is Our Real Problem?
