Over the past several years, I've tried to keep a journal, write a book, make audio recordings, but nothing took hold until I started to work on this website. My intention is that this website is helpful to others, so your comments
and feedback are welcomed.
I will talk about how enlightenment as a by product may help us solve problems or
navigate life. But this is not at all what I am really saying. By
understanding enlightenment, we learn to see past illusions to accept
"what is" and that requires no action on our part. Only what does not
change is real, anything that can change is illusion. This is the hidden treasure!
This
paradigm shift described above in of itself provides one solution to all problems. The
content within the form of the solution I discuss to various problems
is always the same. So whether I give advise on how to house train
your dog or speak effectively at business meetings, the underlying
content of my message is always the same:
One Solution, One Problem.
This website is intended to be useful to myself and others who may be on a journey to enlightenment. It will include blog entries, which I hope to turn into a book one day. Also, it will include various materials I have come across over the years that have helped me grow spiritually and grasp strange and wonderful concepts such as non-dualism and enlightenment.
The site will include books, movies, music, blogs, and web-links, all designed to help with our journey. The focus of my blogs will be to share my experiences and growing understanding of enlightenment as it relates - very practically - to everyday life, including time spent at work.
Enlightenment isn't just for guys in yellow robes and shaved heads, it's for people looking for answers to why life is difficult and thinking, "there must be a better way..."
Enlightenment isn't just another fad for self-improvement and success, enlightenment principles can be extremely powerful tools for living a powerful, happy, and successful life. My hope in sharing myself with you is admittedly rather selfish, it is my hope I will better understand enlightenment myself now that I am trying to teach and share with you.
As a little background, every book I recommend in the Book section (links back to Amazon), I have read and highly recommend each one. The main source I reach to for daily inspiration is A Course in Miracles (ACIM). As Gary Renard says, "ACIM is the express track to God, but there are other roads... they just don't get you there as fast". With that in mind, I have found many books and other materials extremely inspirational, thought provoking, and useful.
If you are new to enlightenment and ACIM, you may have a hard time believing you only have one problem in life, much less one solution that address the billions of problems we seem to encounter in the world. But imagine, a world where that is possible. And the best part, you will find, as I have, the one solution is real, its true, and works in every damn situation you could possible conceive of. Sounds pretty wild huh?
So, I hope you find my site useful and fun. I enjoy receiving emails with questions. And please enjoy yourself while trying to figure out what that 1 thing could be...
PS If all you receive from this site is just one thing, let it be this, the knowledge that you are perfect just the way you are, and loved more than you can imagine.
