Resting Here as This

Resting here as this--what difference does it make? As I sit here, there is awareness of profound stillness within this unknowable source of being. When thoughts arise characterizing the experience, creating or recalling some interpretation that has seemed real to me, one of three things seems to happen. The thoughts may pass through unimpeded, just noticed and leaving no trace, like a bird through the sky. They may be recognized as thoughts and then they unravel within the vast, open sphere of conscious awareness, like a snake untying a knot in itself as it moves, naturally along its way.

A Vision

In 1980-1981, during a hypnotic exploration of what could be done make our world work for everyone who is here, I, John, experienced myself walking down a narrow trail in a deciduous forest. It was early autumn, the trail and woods beyond was lightly covered with the first of the trees’ leaves. The sky was gray and the breeze carried a sharp bite from the north.
