I heard the pain in his voice and gave him a venue to express it. This, to me, is what practice is about: Witnessing “objectively” what arises in our lives, letting it speak without judgment, but with compassion. And in the light of the present moment, that which we fear is seen anew.

I seem to have touched a nerve with the unintended keyword “beliefs.” It was not meant to be a reference to any Seth ideology – merely my trying to put into the words that others can relate to, my own first hand experience. I was trying to say that what you love, what is meaningful and important to you, brings to you the situations in your life that you find yourself in.

The credo “your beliefs create your reality” is a very volatile issue for many, I realize. And I am not inclined with the energy to parse its meaning here and now, for it is so complicated. I prefer to use my time urging others to realize That which is “beyond” their beliefs.


"For some strange reason people imagine that there is a self and Buddhism will help them get rid of it. The truth is the opposite. Buddhism teaches that there IS NO SELF (Annata) and therefore no need to get rid of it."

While you might find the experience of no-self an interesting one, alas that is just a part of the story, as it were. When you discover the other bit of the truth – the true-self – you will find more than just an interesting experience.

Knowing true-self is not only recognizing the “no-self,” but also realizing that of the self that, in it’s great transcendental wonder, sees beyond the momentarily appearances, into the depth of reality (all the while, knowing the physical world in all it’s wonder). Then, in this moment of revelation, All is known as it is, and the true self is known, as it is, as well.

When there is no-self, what is there? When there is no-mind, what knows?

It is a way to live. The way is to realize Truth as you live your life. And to practice the Buddha way is to realize Truth.
