I'm on the tail end of exhaustion.

Just arrived in Florida and spent a wonderful evening with a most sincere community of seekers here.  There's a lot more to write, and to that end I'm working on a more detailed post.

For now, what I have to say is - I will definitely be doing this again (and again [and again]).  I've learned a lot, and the next ( Read more... )

 It's like I'm cycling, spiraling between two worlds.

One world is magic, light, mysteries at every corner, whispers from the depths and winks between the leaves.

The other world is , light & shadow, the ho hum, mundane, pragmatic so we party have a good time, watch movies and narcissisate kind of world.

It's reflecting even inbetween the people I ( Read more... )

 A letter response by Swami Kriyananda (not to me):

"Dear XXXX,

You asked me for suggestions on how you might obtain God's guidance in your work.  I meditated o nit this morning, and these thoughts came to me:

Work to deepen your devotion, and a childlike openness to God.  Use your mind less.  Take the knowledge you've gained, and offer it up to the ( Read more... )

 Just so I don't forget ( Read more... )

 I've developed a bit of a Southern twang (pr. suthern ack-cen) these last 6 days. I love sayin' all ya'll over and over, though I do ask for permission when I first get to a new place, cuz, you know, it's the South and we do take things here seriously. I think it's been about ... a week actually since I last wrote. A week ago today I left the ( Read more... )

 The plan initially was to drive from Denver to Wichita and spend the night at a Walmart parking lot. I was looking forward to a vagabond evening of interacting with Wichitans and watching some TV on my laptop in the car. I like how the evening ended up much better. I've been on the road now for 16 days. The first 12 days by design were ( Read more... )

 Sitting drinking scotch with Aman in Denver, alternatively talking high spirituality and useless trash and checking out the essential oils I received today in Santa Fe.

He keeps wanting to see compatibility of astrological charts between the two of us and other people, especially in our Sangh.

It's fun getting buzzed with Aman, especially since he's ( Read more... )

Allahu Akhbar!

God is great!

Yes.

Didn't think I'd stay up writing another update so soon but a day like today demands it. Yesterday I left off with a plan to hit Santa Fe for a true New Mexican lunch, and then on to Taos to find Ronda, whom I've been tracking down for years.

A little backstory. Right at the end of college I noticed a little store ( Read more... )

 A friend of mine living in Spain just wrote a blog post asking "Is this real life?" (but in all caps).  That pretty much sums up my current feeling.

I'm sitting in Albuquerque (gosh, didn't they think of that fact that we'd have to spell this word before they named the damn city?) right now, having just got back from the second Kriya Yoga teaching ( Read more... )

 
Admit something:

Everyone you see, you say to them,
"Love me."

Of course you do not do this out loud;
Otherwise,
Someone would call the cops.

Still though, think about this,
This great pull in us
To connect.

Why not become the one
Who lives with a full moon in each eye
That is always saying,

With that sweet moon
Language,

What every other eye in this ( Read more... )
