I can really relate to this.
As a child I was obsessed by the centre of turning wheels. It reminded me of something very, very secure, solid, genuine.

This makes a lot of sense to me and sounds familiar. In Mahamudra developing knowledge of contrasting states of mind, and deliberately bringing…[Read more]

There is a kind of trust and recognition of and cooperation with an innate intelligence, akin to the idea of “conscience”–the natural innate intelligence, the dao.
Meaning of religion: re-ligio: “linking back”.
Regarding opening of channels–yes, and on a more basic level, if your health is just plain poor and/or you are filled with emotional…[Read more]
