Episodes

  1. Being with fear, it dissolves

    Sitting and exploring uncomfortable sensations of experiences in body

  2. Working directly at Body, heart, mind and soul

    Rather than escaping away, or finding something to consume - if we work at the fundamental level, we touch freedom and wellbeing.

  3. Safety comfort and convenience: drugs of Soul

    A society of addictions, safety as the highest value is limiting and flat. A response to a world where we are not truly alive so we want to live longer and safer.

  4. All views, held lightly

    Views are skilful means, not to formulate a new ego structure around. Thought Is often disembodied, and hence out of true nature. An escape from embodied embedded reality. Stay in the body, it’s the portal to spontaneous expression of true nature.

  5. Walking Source

    In landscape

  6. Returning from a retreat

    Reflections on surface mind, true nature, source nature.

  7. Transmission and awakening

    Transmission is not one way. Learning occurs in dialectic. And, it’s the bond that’s the teaching. More than the content itself. The frequency of the energetic connection.

  8. Emerging from Pandemic Bardo: Returning to the Dao

    The joy of eating out after 15 months of pandemic. Generosity and being touched by service. Returning to the Dao, the deeper part, over the anxious scattered surface personality.

  9. Glance of the Moon

    The joy of spending extended periods with elements, away from humans. And how it is transformative to the psyche and the sense of self.

  10. Pain is my teacher

    Pain as the healer. Experience of learning from long deep pain

  11. Begin again. Addictions. Actions. Inner Wholeness

    The closer you are to your Wholeness less likely you will engage in mindless addictive patterns. The more you enjoy addictive actions, the farther you are from Source.

  12. Coming back to life: Dancing in the multidimensional mind

    I reflect on the return of strength in my body, and the reopening of multi perspective ways of holding my story, time, and space.

  13. Mind in body: The pause, the Lost, the Found

    As I recover from a broken body in pain, back, shoulders, ankle, and feet - the lesson is emerging. Where were you? My body asks. When you were away, these injuries, these pains, this suffering kept getting accumulated. Finally, painful as it will be, the body like patched land awaits the...

  14. Pain and the message

    In this Inquiry, I share my experience with excruciating and debilitating pain over the last two weeks. Pain as a portal to presence, pain as a pause from the body.

  15. Serving life. My life is not for sale

    My ego mind thought my body, emotions. Feelings, time etc were for sale in market for highest bidder. No. Instead ego is here to serve the life force flowing in the body, not to rule it. My time is not for sale. My body is not for sale.

  16. Images. Teachers. Changes.

    Roles that have lived out the juice. Eg ascetic. Job role of living in fear. Being single. In a small apartment. It’s time to let them all go. And fill up life with Dimensionality. Starting with change in apartment, life will begin to change. Better food. More movement. Some holidays. Retreats.…

  17. From disenchanted sutras to Soulmaking

    A movement with life force; not away from it. The sutric fantasy of ascetic; never settling; or connecting - has run out. There is a movement to enchantment; to aliveness; Soulmaking and soul expression

  18. Cultivate. Liberate. Express. Souls of Source

    Rather than adopt the entire Cosmology, myths and images of the path, we pick up qualities that are helpful and Methods that we can practice to deepen into those qualities. And then we apply them to express the images and myths that arise for me. For my dynamic unfolding soul. And it will shift...

  19. Embrace the funk: Sense of Effortlessness

    Compounding is essential for anything to be useful and substantial. This requires effortlessness. If it’s hard work, it’s actually friction that will burn you out. When you enjoy something - subjective experiences of challenge and time is different. When you don’t enjoy something - the subjective...

  20. Masses are doomed. Cultivate your garden inside out

    We can’t have a sensible impact until we have harmonised inside out. Masses will never get it. Cultivate a soul garden and live the image

  21. Fullness of intention: London, and Inner work community

    Make next 18 months beautiful living in London to take a call. Explore a few inner work groups, and see which ones stick/deepen. Naturally. Follow felt sense. Open to dating. This is the new reality.

  22. Random meandering onquri

    Decisions on path: leaving mindfulness, following heart. Soulmaking, Dao, Ways of looking, and some ridhwan

  23. Trust: between natural laws. And people

    Trust is prerequisite to connection. You cannot trust bureaucracies. At all. You have to understand and play with them. They are systems, so you don’t need to feel empathy to them, they don’t feel any empathy to you.

  24. Make whole decision vs decisions to reduce uncertainty

    Your body tells you when the situation is whole. It seeks to reduce uncertainty that comes as a pinch in ego if you don’t keep a spacious mind; and if you operate from awareness - you can make better decisions. Reality, and great teachers reflect reality so you can see your personal distorting...

  25. Reflections on nature And Soulmaking

    A gift from the wood element - can we receive it fully

  26. First 15 years: except 2 years, all were beautiful.

    Next 15 years: 1 good year. So much for ego structure. The existential angst has started unfolding into mystic openness, the anger beginning to transform into mastery via play. And now I am also finding connecting, and devoting to things naturally transform panic into care.

  27. Reflections on seeds of the ego structure

    Harmonising the 3 streams. Deepening across fear/awe via curiosity. Practicing more on Anger/Mastery via play. Cleaning up/freely flowing the care/panic via connecting. Once we allow these 3 to flow in flywheel, we introduce Eros to charge the harmonisation and have the things going!

  28. Freedom to follow my unfolding

    Practicing with ‘Open to Emergence’. Following my unfolding. Rather than freedom of accumulating enough money to avoid working and consume. I like to create, AI consumption is not exciting anyway.

  29. From life of ego to living from an unfolding open heart

    Living from should - is living from super ego. Living from needs (externally seeking safety, love, belonging) - is living from ego. Eventually we live from image/soul, and eventually spontaneously arising source

  30. Chain of emptiness; transition; to form

    We need to have mastery across world of forms for sustenance and deepening of practice. Mastering residing stillness; and then transitioning, allows a whole integration. I feel comfortable with the overall map of inner work, now it’s time to practice. And deepen. Cultivate, harmonise, integrate.

  31. Movement towards an open heart

    From open mind, to open body, to open heart

  32. Random morning thoughts

    Most of my life has been struggle because I have been focused on what was was missing. Love; safety; freedom. I feel that I need a change. I wish too be free. Probably outside this city. The only way to find out is via making the next year awesome and then taking the call. In that time I will…

  33. Dark nights. Fear. Facade. Change

    I have spent 30 years of my life trying to get safe. It’s time to start moving beyond safety. Towards living. It’s time to be closer to family. It’s time to start my own family. And soon it will be time to leave Uk. Once I have my residence, I have the downside protected, then I am totally free....

  34. Reflections at 30: Six good years

    5 years; between 3-8. 3 years: 11-14; 1 good year: 22.5-23; 23.5-24. If I were asked - would you like to relive your 20s - and not be able to change anything. I would say no. 20s were hard. I will make sure 30s are better. Leave fear behind. Make sensible moves now.

  35. Dancing with Desire

    Reflections on time, space and desire. The juice of life. The way is either live without it, or to add it in and play with it. You can’t master fire without getting burned, but if 2D life is too boring for you - this is the only way. The earlier you master, and integrate the power of desire, the...

  36. Cultivating Garden of Eden: Within, Without

    Building a critical mass of inner and outer skills, allows one to change inner or outer reality, and cultivate beauty, aliveness, and harmony.

  37. Follow your source to the garden of eden

    Follow your unfolding source, guidance and values. They will eventually lead you towards a life that is perfectly yours, harmonised. Filled with beauty, love, Generativity. Unconditional trust, love of beings.

  38. Next steps may 2020

    1: Move apartment ASAP. Place for myself. Up to 1500. 2: Minimise probability of exposure, and stop worrying. (Solo apartment, Buy bike, Avoid Travel/Tube). 3: Focus on following generative vision. Creating value for others, inner cultivation, relationship cultivation.

  39. Relax. Open. Be. Allow unfolding.

    Essence of the path. Contracted state is not natural, and someone with strong ego; and self denial can beat themselves up for much longer. Just relax. Open. Be. Then things will naturally unfold. Don’t worry that you will dissolve, you won’t.

  40. Trust. Sufferings. Yearnings

    Life is better with the gift of trust. Don’t value your suffering too cheaply. Don’t ignore your souls yearnings forever. Life is short. Also, life is better with partner, family, friends, community - not as a lone Jaguar. After your training, move to create a pride of Lions, and redwood groves…

  41. Reflections. May 2020: meaningful life-meaningful death. Living while contributing.

    Reality is the greatest teacher and guide. Outer and inner. It’s good to build a life where we add value to others, so it’s not just a self ego project. Integrate left and right hemispheres. Having spent 30 years in left; time to bring in embodied right

  42. Jaguar. Redwoods. Eden. Sea. Sky. Soulmaking fire.

    First build/accumulate basic resources so you survive. Second train discernment. Then build skills of mind body like a Jaguar. Then hunt and find your Redwood Grove (city, country). Ideally here you build your palace (meaning room, spiritual play space) where you indulge in Soulmaking. Being…

  43. Living through soul: What does the jaguar want. Training with the jaguar.

    I am now going deeper into touching soul. Living from source. As I connect continually, I can begin training towards what’s important and then be ready to pounce. Eventually source stabilises, and the OODA happens spontaneously, instantly; and one lives in relaxed open awareness, trained and…

  44. Life is choosing activities through uoh

    Follow your Generative unfolding. The choice your life wishes you to me - guided by life’s flow. Liberating potential at the time of hunt; & cultivating potential in stillness.

  45. What are you running from: Lean into it

    Answer the call of life. Let go of escaping. Time has come to lean forward. As a Jaguar, it’s time to leave home and build your own territory. To have your own temenos, in your own redwoods, and your sea - under the sky. No escaping with Hobbies. They are there to train with, so you can serve the...

  46. Entering the new seas

    We are now in, and will continue to be in a liquid world. Be fluid. Ready to swim. Move past solids, build inflows and outflows of wealth, health, reputation. Now.

  47. Seeing that frees. Doing that works. Relating that loves.

    Integrating ideas across domains. I: Seeing that frees; It: Unobstructed self expression (Spontaneous Spirit); We: Relating that loves; It’s: Doing that works.

  48. Naturalness as the basic state of being

    Grounded in the natural wild state of being - in source, in harmony, in depth - one goes in and out of civilisation. Not as sheep, but as a tiger. And then comes back to rest in deep harmony.

  49. Journey into Naturalness

    After answering the call to integrate the wild; I recognise the desire to move towards a sense of naturalness. So the civilisation is metabolised, as we claim and integrate other elements of being.

  50. Redwood - Tiger - Butterfly: Reclaiming my wildness

    Having recognised the water of the systems of culture and economy, I recognise that it’s time to begin my training into reclaiming the wilderness of body (tiger). Heart (butterfly). Roots (Redwood). Mind (Katana). Soul (Bird). Train and integrate the tools as you prepare to sail; to track your…
