The Cure for Boredom

Is reality boring?

Is the real boring?

No.


Boredom is a mind-state that is symptomatic of disconnection from reality.

Boredom arises when contact with the real is lost.

The true cure for boredom is not evasion through distraction and entertainment (this only temporarily masks boredom).


The cure for boredom is contact with the real.


Slowing down

and waking up

enough to touch

the reality of life here

- in the body,

in sense perceptions,

in the vast presence

of the dharmakaya.

Psychiatry is Changing

Attended a stunning six day workshop titled "Breath, Body, Mind" taught by two psychiatrists (a husband-wife team): Dr. Richard Brown and Dr. Patricia Gerbarg. I highly recommend attending one of their trainings if you have a chance, and checking out their books and website.

To Notice is to Make Conscious

Objects and non-objects can be noticed. To notice a non-object is to notice the noticing itself.

To notice a non-object is to notice the motionless space in which everything exists. Context and content are an inseparble balance.

Obsession with objects is the inevitable result of not noticing the non-object realm of spacious being.

Noticing is different from acquiring.

Noticing refers to what is already here.

Acquiring refers to what is lacking and therefore sought.

Noticing is an openness to what had previously been unseen.

The wealth of space in this moment can be noticed and made conscious.

In the flood of present wealth, the old compulsion to acquire loosens its grip.

A miraculous field

 "Never bother naming an emotion again.


Just feel the energy of it."     Scott Kiloby




We think it's the emotion that hurts, when what actually 


causes the most pain is the word, the label, the name, the 


story we put on the emotion. 




An emotion experienced nonverbally is actually quite benign, 


even wondrous- one of the many colors of the rainbow of 


emotional experience.




Try it and see for yourself, experiments are fun.  It is 


possible to meet emotional experience with silent interest 


rather than fear.

It's so depressing to label sadness as sadness, but without 


the label... it's clear and sweet.



No emotion is an enemy, it's just a transient energy pattern 


in the miraculous field of being.

What is the well that never runs dry?

"Have you ever noticed that the present moment never abandons you?

It's the well that never runs dry."       Sara Exley




You are this moment, you are the well that never runs dry.
