So why not this too? It is a language worth exploring I just don’t see how it is any more objective. Humans using the limits of their senses to understand phenomena and basing it on certain assumptions of what is real.

I heard a scientist explain with all the rigor of his field there is no difference between an organic carrot and a store…[Read more]

I agree. It is our challenge to make this practice our own and therefore be a conduit for the world that surrounds us. It is easier said than done though to be purely objective. Everyone of us carries deep rooted beliefs that affect results…or affect how we respond to the results.

Wouldn’t it be more effective to teach this in a way…[Read more]

It sounds from what you describe you are embodying this self perpetual combustion more and more.

When I began Kan and Li and the Primordial Form a few years ago I distinctly felt a dialogue open with my center, the neutral field, from a platform that felt more spacious, inviting and consistent than other strategies I have explored.…[Read more]

The more I reflect on the gestalt process you describe the more I see it as a spiritual practice of communication with all parts. It is useful to be reminded there is no Voice not worth listening to..barry

Yes, I am amazed at how close places are n Europe after a life lived traveling the immensity of the US. To consider another country but two hours away just tickles me. It is like a child’s fantasy. But I am the classic closeted American in that way.

Funny you should say that NN as that is the reason I am leaving my 52 year US hearth and home- to follow love, marriage and also revisit past choices made on the work front and so re-create. It is a challenge blessed with fire. (though that is a very mixed blessing many moments as I move into the shift emotionally)

Your practice attitude…[Read more]

Thanks Alexander for pointing out the endless paradox of my inner voices. There is a call to trust in the mysterious unfoldment that isn’t on any map and also know that this is how it has always been for those on a conscious journey.

The lives of the masters in the past seem so ‘static’ when read encapsulated in a book but they faced the…[Read more]

After sitting with it for a bit I looked at it simply from my own position. I noticed that the statements are all two sentences. Reading the first ones in the numerical sequence gave me a sense of completion. They were consistent.

Reading the second parts in sequence gave me another perhaps more explanatory sequence.

Thank you. Barry

I watched this and found it a bit cheesy and exploitive and of course…entertaiing like a good yarn around a campfire at night.

It is a roomful of mirrors not knowing who is manipulating whom and what is gained by it. In this day and age of video manipulation I barely believe anything I see anymore that is provocative simply because I…[Read more]

Wendy, the awareness you bring here is our opportunity to witness your process. Again makes me realize the place of greatest pain and seeming obstruction, as in your gallbladder issues, is also the pathway into greater exposure and integration. No map you can take refuge in but the moment. And some of your moments are hot and violent. So be it. Barry

I am struck by a few feelings. First while I may consider myself a lonely practitioner, unique in whatever blossoms from techniques that are ‘doing me’, I am part of an old tradition of self cultivation. So I say to them ‘leave me alone to my own digestion but thank you so much for being here’.

This part seems the center of…[Read more]

Jernej, let me see if what you are saying is what I am hearing. Please clarify if needed. Or anyone else for that matter.

That the organic process of menopause is alchemical in its tranformational release of fire. Hot flashes digested in the tan tien lessen the rougher effects but in the end a new center is formed. From the purification…[Read more]

Wendy,your passion and courage is stimulating. Kvetching is in my blood. It is the source of all jewish comedy. But I recognize this patience of the Fool, the child and the dwarf. Like Dog says we are all provided for so yabba dabba do.

I want to share a fairy tale I took part in this spring in China with Michael’s Chi Trippers. I have…[Read more]

A discussion of fear is well put for not only my intimate personal time but for the planet as a whole. Of course,thank you, I accept there is no getting around fear as a valuable and needed ingredient in our soup. Without it I would be unbound and not discerning enough to recognize caution when caution is due.
The fear I am wading through…[Read more]

Yes. A great title…eating god. Alchemical work was the first that really encouraged me to digest my experiences more than classify and respond to them as the polarities of the mind. Lower chakra higher chakras. This is a sin, this is a virtue.This is an aversion this is an attraction.

The word fear jumped off the page of your exploration…[Read more]

I wish I could write in french. I admire your trials with this language. I have no practical suggestion but to ask you what it is about hair loss that bothers you? I am not denying your stress about it but what is it you fear it represents? Barry
