To dying and being birthed again, a poem written for the ending of 2021 and beginning of 2022.

What we like to call a ‘relationship’ is most often simply a compromise. To feel another is a totally different thing. We share what it means to be alive.

We look at life through different filters. We study the world according to how one is accepted and respected socially. We strive to fit in until that’s not enough anymore and we want to stand out. Can we perceive and learn from life without any of this, breaking through our conditioning?

Can you feel the world around you? This is really where the energy is at. A life force that needs no effort at all, and yet is powerful beyond measure.

Throwing out all strategies, ideas, and formulas in thought, we have the capacity to generate something new from complete stillness, listening for what wants to be created. 

Education must facilitate the process of learning, which is understanding oneself in relationship with knowledge, and what it means for all beings.

What it takes to feel in nature

Nothing in nature is identical. Yet we try to be the same.

We get to the bottom of the very nature of communication. Why do we communicate? What is our intention in doing so? What is the source of communication?

Diary and guidebook for facilitating self-inquiry.

Opposites attract each other. As long as we make mental health into our personal story, which is an accumulation of thoughts about ourselves, we will experience mental illness.

When we identify with thoughts about ourselves, we act in line with them and see them confirmed in every situation. A distorted sense of self forms that we start to believe in, and live by.
