| Spiritual Healing You are simply here and perfect as you are |
Everything that is written on this website is a representation of my
everyday living. I have read few spiritual books and I have no interest in
thought or concept, as this backbone of our society has led to tremendous
pain and suffering. Everything I write about I see directly.
Love is not a concept, love is prior to concept, love is what we are. We are
intelligence (self-inquiry is a representation of this intelligence) and pure
love, which is realized when one is simply being, or experiencing what is
in front of them. The indisputable reality is what my interest is, not
thought, concept, and theory.
I don't identify with being a separate person who has
struggled and finally achieved. I am pure consciousness...as
are you.
History
When I was young, I lived a life of observation and compassion. I
questioned the origin of my thought, the nature of reality, and suffering
too. About ten years ago I began going to a psychotherapist and started
looking even more deeply into the nature of my own suffering and the
suffering of others. In addition, I began to realize that without believing
in my thoughts I was able to more fully experience the present moment
and live a life of joy. I continued off and on for almost six years with a few
different therapists before I stopped therapy completed.
In the couple of years that followed I did little continued work and it
wasn't until two and half years ago when I began the deepest inquiry
possible, the direct inquiry into who and what I am. I attended
Enlightenment Intensive retreats and self-inquiry became my entire life.
I worked very few hours during the week so I was able to contemplate and
meditate all of the time. Several direct experiences happened and several
phases occurred, but the question of who I was continued to linger. The
identifications changed and became very subtle (experiencing I was Love,
God, Purity, and Emptyness), but even with all of the experiences the
search continued. It was not until I realized that no experience (even
direct experience) would bring me to the ultimate reality that I was able to
walk by and simply see a tree as a tree...everything just is what it is. In
something that could never be defined as simply a point of shifting,
eventually the search just ended. A shift is not even the correct wording
as I was always simply here and perfect, just like everyone else. How
could there be a shift when I was always completely whole, I just never
realized it? There were not a bunch of fragments becoming whole, there
was wholeness realizing wholeness. Everything became extremely clear
and white clouds were seen, barking dogs were heard, and the wet water
was cold. Everything simply was as it was. In the natural state everything
is seen clearly as it is, and from here a great spontaneity arises.
Everyone is already enlightened and perfect as they are,
they just don't realize it.
Through continued integration everything has become enlightenment
itself (even a broom or the soil on the ground) and there is no longer a
division between myself and others. I can sit alone and have great peace,
but I do not live a life separate from other beings. True freedom is action
(seeing and doing just spontaneously happen) and this action is in
complete union with a continual flowing service to everyone and
everything. This website and my counseling practice are just two results
of now living a life. By searching, I was not able to simply be.
I intend to help others see the simplicity and beauty of just
being.
