Ho’oponopono
I am sorry for all that in me which is not pure essence of mind: pure presence – for all information in me that misinforms a sense of personal self. I am sorry for my personal identification with this memory – for taking ownership of something that does not belong to my formless and timeless…

Ho’oponopono Prayer and Meditation
“Self-knowledge isn’t necessarily good news”. I think this points to the fact that increasing awareness needs to go hand in hand with increasing compassion and love. As you become aware of unconsciousness and lovelessness in yourself – the initial impulse might be self-judgment and self-hatred. This brings up the importance of self-forgiveness and self-compassion. For…

Writing to Heal: Letter of Impersonal Compassion to Abuser.
Beloved Abusive 2nd Step-Father Teacher, The psychological dominance of my mother – where you effectively reprogrammed her into compliance: avoiding behaviors that triggered your aggression and rewarding her submission with stroking and approval – left me motherless and unsafe. I blamed you for that, but now see that on some level she willingly chose to…

Healing Disassociation: Choosing to stay with difficult feelings
I’ve come a very long way from the inwardly ungrounded young man who barely registered the existence or relevance of other people and outwardly could only make intensely intellectual and philosophical conversation from the mind and had no sense of how to dress or groom or even brush his teeth and put deodorant on. With…

Book: Whole Again by Jackson MacKenzie
The book’s core concept is that a traumatic core wound leaves a false message embedded in our psyches. These false, negative self-beliefs are what actually continue to hurt us: that the story or events or context or content of the original situation is not really the issue. (Ultimately, everything is impersonal: we were wounded by…

Overnight Subliminal Subconscious Reprogramming:
I’ve done this before trying to brainwash myself while I sleep with sanskrit mantras and prayers. These youtube affirmations work even better for me. I believe that in a healthy attachment process the child would subconsciously absorb positive self-beliefs (these affirmations) from the parent through their body language, energy field, and behaviour. Lacking the vibrational…

Tara Brach has a wealth of mediations and talks at the cross-section of mental health and awakening which is where I find myself. I am so grateful…

Intention to Heal
I want to remind myself, lest I fall into personal identification with the healing journey and turn it into an identity, that nothing belongs to me. That the life story of my personal self, my psyche, my mental health, and my healing are not mine for me to be preoccupied and concerned about. They are…

Naked Truth
O Beloved, you dress yourself up, in purity and goodness, but a good person, or a bad person, are still just empty roles an I plays. Take off your costume, my blushing bride, and accept this gift of love, from noone to noone – a transmission of love from, naked space to naked space. A…

Lubricated Space
In Varanasi, and Napoli too, and all ancient places: that are and have been continually inhabited until this day, human consciousness has cut out age-old psychic channels: greased pathways of human thought and expression – torrents of emotion, energy, and desire that flow in their streets. Where mind-streams of casual unconscious passers-by, can easily fall…

Spiritual Pride
I don’t know shit about reality and consciousness: all my constructions and mental knowing are little pedestals of arrogance and assumption that I constructed while in the thrall of the simian need to climb and put myself above others in the social hierarchy, as I stand upon mental knowing to set myself apart in vain…

Safety First
Unable to feel safe with others, my attempts to connect at some point always failed. I used to push past my fear: to force myself to be social, but others – making me feel unsafe – I try to overpower or with bravado put them on a back foot – trying to make them feel…
