In this recently filmed podcast interview is a further elaboration of the phenomenon of primordial “natural contemplation” among the animals and plants of our world. Continue reading
With Behemoth Fires burning around the world, and govts and others confused by what the causes are, and what can be done, this is an area in need of investigation by everyone…
Going back decades and centuries, American, Australian, and African traditional cultures had well-developed proven methods for caretaking the lands and trees – including from dangerous blazes… Continue reading
Feel ALL Your Fear
Of the many trees in your area, which are the most amazing? The oldest, tallest, broadest, or is it some other feature? When you walk by them, or sit near them, do you feel an uncanny presence in their company?.
.
People walk differently today than we once did. Continue reading
This article concludes a three-part series on Contemplative Cultures. The preceding two posts are: Contemplative Plant Cultures, and Contemplative Animal Cultures. In each of the three posts, I address the essence of the three cultures similarly. The perceived differences between them relate to form and function, not the unifying spirit of life. I employ similar descriptions and phrases throughout, somewhat repetitively, because this general topic is reflexively dismissed by many of us. Please read each of the three articles carefully in order to feel their similarities. Continue reading
This article is the second in a three-part series on Contemplative Cultures. The first and third posts are: Contemplative Plant Cultures, and Contemplative Human Cultures.

Add this unique message into your contemplative garden setting, to serve the meditations of all those who enter. Copy the text onto wood, metal, or stone in whatever style suits you. Or simply copy, print, and frame it under glass, placing it at the garden’s entrance or somewhere within… Continue reading
The following words are drawn from what is arguably the most profound, and also “un-useable”, expression of what could be humanly described as the Fully Free Condition of Everything.
If ever seriously engaged, these confounding words will no doubt be argued from many directions – this Flash of Light that perpetually invades our self-made civilizations of shadowy fear-making.
None can withstand such Unfiltered Light for long, and remain the individual they – apparently! – have learned to imagine themselves to be.
Such words as these will likely, at first, be taken as a threat, but someday, maybe, they will be understood differently, and more completely…

“The man of understanding is not entranced. He is not elsewhere. He is not having an experience. He is not passionless and inoffensive. He is awake. He is present. He knows no obstruction in the form of mind, identity, differentiation and desire. He uses mind, identity, differentiation and desire. He is passionate. His quality is an offense to those who are entranced, elsewhere, contained in the mechanics of experience, asleep, living as various forms of identity, separation and dependence. He is acceptable only to those who understand…
You have seen everything, but you do not understand…
He has grasped it, but no one is interested. He is of interest to no one. He is fascinating. He is unnoticed. Since no one understands, how could they notice him? Because there is only understanding, he is beloved, and no one comes to see him. Because there is only truth, he is likely to become famous. Since there is only joy, he will not be remembered. Because you have already understood, you find it necessary to touch his hand. Since you love so much and are not understood, you find it possible to touch his ears. He smiles at you. You notice it. Everything has already died. This is the other world.”
