All paths and directions lead away from what is....
Well, except golf. " Rowan

"We had a new guy join us for the round. I introduced myself, he responded, and said, "I'm hoping to play a good round of golf tonight." Then he asked me, "Are you a good golfer?" I responded, "I dunno...Let's go golfing and find out." Rowan

"One doesn't have to sit naked in the Himalayas to fully understand the truth of what Is, unless they wish to have that experience. Resting in awareness, as often as I can, simply makes sense. Seeing without the contextual content while going about my business day to day has made a difference. I'm here, and there, and aware. No real notion of a doer while this is taking place. I somehow know I can't be out of the awareness. Something unexplainable, yet undeniable has taken the wheel. I'm grateful for it." Rowan

"When I'm flowing in a round of golf I have all kinds of sudden comprehensions while simply seeing. In my experience, aha moments/sudden comprehensions aren't thoughts, or thinking. Clarity is pointing out things that would have remained unseen, or even un-felt. Being open and empty is part of that process." Rowan

"I'm going to have to sit with this for a bit. I'm tempted to tell you a true story that belies what you're saying, but, not gonna do it..... However, I will say nothing is lost in the infinite calculations of the universe. It just chose another 'window' to experience it in that moment." Rowan

"Well, yes, "becoming conscious" is a process, so experience is involved.  There's a difference between "not knowing" and "distrusting". The distrust can eventually open up into the not-knowing." Muttley |

"People can understand the idea of the false sense of self, intellectually speaking, even as they remain unconsciously hooked in a version of the trance. No belief can break that trance, no. Freedom is the absence of belief with regard to identity." Muttley

"Those kinds of thoughts wouldn't even arise to me either. But when questioned, it has to be this way. When I look at my daughter's eyes, I forget the whole world in her innocence look, I wouldn't even think that whether she is real or not when I look at her, there is a kind of belief in my background that says to me that she may be real but I can't KNOW ultimately."
