  Asking Questions Beyond Thinking

  Many who #meditate are surprised by the #etymology of #Mantra. Deepen your practice by embracing #uncertainty. goo.gl/5NhNZ — Keith Wayne Brown (@pahndeepah) February 18, 2013 “All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.”  ― Jiddu Krishnamurti You…

  Good advice. There are many kinds of phenomenology. Even Husserl’s own descriptive phenomenology can be broken up into psychological (intentional), constitutive (eidetic), transcendental and generative phenomenologies. And then there are the diverse varieties of existential and hermeneutic phenomenologies. If you are going to be doing research with phenomenology, you must…

  Being Among Strangers | Sarah E. Cornish

  If we are paying attention, being among strangers offers us the luxury of feeling every inch of ourselves and knowing that our bodies affect all the other bodies around us. Being among strangers gives us the chance to develop patience and care for others. It can be meditative. It is…

  No Room for Improvements

  You would find your own life and the lifeworld itself flourishes with more gracefulness if you just let-go the need to improve yourself. Wait, wait: Don’t misunderstand me. Not recommending that you stop doing Yoga or meditating or learning skills or gaining knowledge. Did you know that the word improvement…

  Thinking without Professional Recognition

  I work in and around higher education in the United States, but I am not a professor. I sometimes say that I am in the academy but not necessarily of the academy. This does not imply, however, that I refuse to do more than my fair share of thinking about…

  Fretfully making, busily doing, absent the leisurely stretch that birthed Mona Lisa; heedless we run, without time for thinking’s yawning abyss: profound boredom.

  Already Falling in Love

  The deluded among us who confound power with political position and happiness with wealth propagate a great confidence game, a colossal con, a great grift. They believe and would have all else believe that the great succession of their material goals is real “success.” They would have you take confidence…

  A Lilting Life: At Leisure in the Great Dance

  “It is interesting that Hindus, when they speak of the creation of the universe do not call it the work of God, they call it the play of God, the Vishnu lila, lila meaning play. And they look upon the whole manifestation of all the universes as a play, as…

  The Leisure to be Your Own Self

  “You find peace  not by rearranging the circumstances of your life,  but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.”  ― Eckhart Tolle Aware. Awakened. Enlightened. Mindful.

  Comments to a Walking Meditation 20130205

  The good is one thing, the gratifying is quite another; their goals are different, both bind a man. Good things await him who picks the good; by choosing the gratifying, one misses one’s goal. Both the good and the gratifying present themselves to a man; The wise assess them, note…

  Mindfulness = Emptiness

  Mindful thinking properly becomes emptiness or no-thing. This begins by the inward turn. Being now/here, there is no then/there to which you can race that will possess all the things you “need” to possess.

  Controlled Accident

  At the heart of perennial philosophizing is an always developing mastery that we can, following Alan Watts, call “controlled accident.” Others have done far better than I could in really detailing what is meant by this oxymoronic usage. But if I might give it short attempt: Let-go of this desire…
