Our sentience is the infinite luminosity of God. By sentience I mean our capacity to sense, perceive, or be aware of anything at all. When we don’t use this sentience for any one thing, meaning, we aren’t trying to direct it, or influence it in any way, but rather rest in its luminosity we are abiding in God.

I love this maze we’re in. No solution is the perfect teacher. It draws out and generates enormous energy. This is the ongoing revelation of our infinite nature…

To feel this existential Sorrow leads to a very embodied experience of inclusion, which is to say it leads to unconditional love…

“Think of direction not simply as the movement of attention or the active impulse towards something but rather as an expression of your deepest orientation.”

Sometimes in meditation we over emphasize having a quiet mind, which inadvertently keeps it going…

True power doesn’t live anywhere where I can use control. Our true power lives in spirit.

Beauty comes from bowing to the naked moment, before you can say a thing. This empty page needs your faithful attention, otherwise these words become untrue.

In self inquiry, you have to be willing to question everything. The right question asked with the appropriate attitude & energy can make of you an alive, embodied answer. This is self inquiry in its truest sense. You’re not asking a question to get some conceptual understanding but in order to become a living embodiment of the quest inside the question.

It is silence that speaks, stillness that moves, spaciousness which embodies, darkness which is the light of seeing, and the unknown that could ever know.

There’s a subtle misperception that if we are truly guided by Spirit we’d always know where to go. This isn’t the case at all. At times we know with certainty where to go…

Love is fully unconditional, a complete embrace, a penetrating inclusivity that reveals the heart & essence of existence. The heart and essence of existence is Love. Love reveals Love. Love unearths Love. Love draws out Love.
