Too Long

Two months too long without a post .....

New developments on all fronts of life are leading me in the discovery of new aspects of myself.

I'm now actually teaching meditation - as in standing up in front of people sitting in chairs with their eyes closed and leading them by way of instruction in practicing awareness. It is such an honor and such a privilege and something I am deeply enjoying.

In addition to this I'm working with advanced students who are in the process of learning how to work with others - I assist them in growing their ability to discern and shift their understanding of themselves and how they walk in the world.

And all of this description is still just ego - the 'I' that stands in front of an experience. Without one it can be pretty difficult to operate in the physical world. The trick is simply to remember that it is there and that the 'I' of the ego is not who I am or who anyone else is.

I have missed writing. This morning I read something I wrote a few weeks ago and in doing so realized just how important it is - whether for an audience or just for myself. The process of writing is somehow linked to my ongoing sense of self, orientation and integrity. The organization of words to illustrate thoughts rests on top of a process of exploration and examination.
