You have the most gentle nature Richard. It’s a good look. I suspect I see it because I too am that. Now if I could only stop identifying with and as this horror show of a mind full of 40 years of self hate, suicidality, contempt, anxiety, fear and rage. Perhaps it is just the karma of this incarnation. Don’t know.
This changed my perception, I listened to all your "headless way" exercises on the Waking up app. Like you said, yes- whilst driving! luminous, hanging.. trees like a stage set. Trees are so "now" !!!!
Thank you Richard for your work. It make so much sense, and is simple. MY/OUR MINDS COMPLICATE EVERY THING, RIGHT? It a relief to hear a simple, and factual explanation of this what's going on. Doug G. in LV
Just like our public face, our private face is totally unique. Even if you're standing in the same room with other's, no one's private face looks exactly like yours. No one's perceptual perspective is exactly like yours.
So lovely. I really appreciate this view. From that mind, can you respond to the koan: Goso said, “To give an example, it is like a buffalo passing through a window. Its head, horns and four legs have all passed through. Why is it that its tail cannot?” Mumon’s Commentary If you can penetrate to the point of this Koan, open your Zen eye to it, and give a turning word to it, you will then be able to repay the four obligations above and help the three existences below. If you still cannot do so, work with the tail single heartedly until you can really grasp it as your own. Mumon’s Poem If it passes through, it falls into a ditch; If it turns back, it is destroyed. This tiny tail, How extremely marvelous! In this case, the "it" that is being spoken about is enlightenment, or awakening. Some people interpret the tail not being able to pass as a "falling out" of awareness, or not "achieving" full clarity, but I think that there's something else in the koan that people who truly have no head would see clearly. Passing through is a dream, turning back is impossible. What would you say?
i promise you they are not so annoying, if i were able to pop my consciousness into yours for a moment and experience beingness through your layers, i would more than likely be blown away by your layers and how unique and wonderful a system you've put together!
Saying this makes sense scientifically is massively disingenuous. In fact, this 'discovery' contravenes one of the fundamental principles of science, namely, that material reality takes precedence over 'consciousness'. In fact, that's pretty much the foundational principle of science; without it there would be no scientific method. You're saying consciousness creates the world. Which is insane and flies in the face of science.
I could listen to Mr Lang talk all day. I'm here because of the Headless Way part of the Waking Up app, and excuse the pun, it has blown my mind.
Glad to hear it :-)
"Nothing is full of something." I loved it!!! 😊🥰
Thank you! And thank you for your kindness! ❤

Thank you! It's so beautiful! "The little one is the vehicle for expressing the One" : )
Yes -- the One that is many!
hé hé :) so wonderful

Don’t see the point , how does this help ?
Lots of information on the website if you want to find out more.
