Of course, the main thing is to discover for ourselves based on our moment to moment experience, tapping into our reservoir of accumulated knowledge and wisdom for reference points.<br /><br />From Ayya Khema, I have read:<br /><br />I Give You My Life (autobiography)<br />Being Nobody, Going Nowhere<br />Who Is My Self?<br /><br />Next, I am planning to read:<br /><br />Be An Island<br />Visible Here and Now<br />When the Iron Eagle FliesMarguerite Manteau-Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956537059369707663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-43442559004013338552010-07-12T06:57:55.826-07:002010-07-12T06:57:55.826-07:00First, I really would like to read some of Ayya Kh...First, I really would like to read some of Ayya Khema's writings. Truly great wisdom shared here.<br /><br />I'm starting to get more and more interested in the inner workings of the mind. Kind of interesting that this reminds me of a video I just wrote a post on. The process that Ayya Khema describes seems to be the left brain's way of taking in the energy/mental picture of the present moment observed in the right brain and then labeling it. So, we first have the true experience and the feeling of it. Then the labeling begins...good, bad, neutral and then thoughts about that...I don't like this, I want more, etc. I'm starting to observe this more and more in my daily life.Natehttp://www.fearlessendeavors.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-4045207739564310682010-07-11T17:11:58.517-07:002010-07-11T17:11:58.517-07:00Thank you Seiho, for these beautiful words from yo...Thank you Seiho, for these beautiful words from you. As I practice more, I notice a greater ease with just being with whatever is present in the body, in the mind. Very lovely, indeed, and the source of immense gratitude and joy.Marguerite Manteau-Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956537059369707663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-41490071973125808962010-07-11T15:59:49.312-07:002010-07-11T15:59:49.312-07:00Marguerite,

In this point, there is no abstraction... theory... wasted motion... or gaps. It's just hands down in the mud.
