Every little thing

What if everything were provided for you? Absolutely everything. Well, here's the thing. It is. Every breath you take, every mouthful of food, every drop of drink. Every thought, every emotion, every great idea.
Even you. For you who did not create yourself have been created, and are part of all that has been created. You are - of course - the recipient of everything you receive. You are a vessel of that which flows through you as the temporary feels the eternal, if only for a moment; and another, and another.
So there is a never ending dance of life and change and death. And you get to experience the changing. And yet you can also get to sense the unchanging, poised as you are, a bridge between one and the other.
I mean, really, you couldn't make this up.

Why You Are Here - Briefly

"Why You Are Here - Briefly" has recently been published by O Books. 100+ bite-sized dialogues to prompt you on your journey through passion and purpose, meaning and mission, life and death.
This feels like a good place to say something about the book. People have asked how long it took to write? One answer is no time at all, because most of the dialogues came to me out of the blue. Walking idly through a park I would notice a dialogue pop into my awareness and scurry off to my PC. I got quite excited - probably overexcited - at the form, the short snappy dialogues, which was new to me.
But the title took ages to emerge. I struggled with bizarre titles like "Rimi and Klep" and later the more workmanlike - if prosaic - "Signposts for Searchers" and during this period, several years ago, approached a handful of publishers without a flicker of interest, so I left it to gather dust, so another answer to the how long did it take question is about seven years.
Once the title "Why You Are Here - Briefly" came to me I presented it to O Books who snapped it up. You can view a sample at Amazon.
I remain interested in simple formats that may prompt understanding and hope more will emerge.

In Summary - Living In Flow with Everything

What is life, real life: Living In Flow with Everything. And as you live in flow with everything the boundaries - that are only part of our paradigm - dissolve, and you start to see clearly what is. And what is that? Call it what you will, call it Isness, and you have moved away from it into labelling, but what else to do?
Just be? Let's go with connect. You cannot be yourself - the self we are attempting to describe - without connecting with it. And what is that self? We could say it is the greater self, not the fragment that most of us experience. But let us go further and say that it is not a fragment of the whole: it is the whole.
So who are you? The whole thing; which is not to say that the fragment is the whole - the fragment is only a fragment - it is to say that you are not merely that fragment. You are in the whole and the whole is in you: there is no difference here. In the sum of all things there is only the sum.
That tiny little self you have known, the one that blinks into and out of consciousness, and that in less than a century - much less - will be nothing, is the tiniest undulation. You, on the other hand, you are Living In Flow with Everything.

The Breath of Life

And so thoughts begin to turn to the next year. If you are still breathing, you are still in this game, this great and glorious game called life, where you get to be an aspect of it reflecting life back upon itself. And what is life? A process of change, for without change there is no life, and with change there is life. The change may feel comfortable or uncomfortable, it may feel like forward or backward movement. In any event it is life.
As well as the life that you observe, there is the life that is you, and they are really two aspects of the same, and as soon as you have the internal and the external you have the relation between the two: three in one, the divine trinity.
So there is no other, only your brother. And we are ...
