Conversations with a Mountain
One foot in front of the other, and breathe. That, is all the body can muster at nearly 18000ft. And after the feasting senses have gorged and began to burst at the seams, they too become numb. What remains, is the mantra, one foot in front of the other, and breathe.
The air is cold, and scant, but its noticeably fresh, with all the heaviness taken out of it. The lungs struggle with inhalation, taking in what it can to meet the desperate demands of slow-trundling feet. The struggle to breathe is eviden...
A needle in the African Haystack
“It looks like I am now the African and you the European” he says, arms folded over a dishevelled white t-shirt, shoulders perched against a Karite (Shea) tree. The butter fromwhich soothes the calloused palms of African drummers. Fabrice steps in as translator for a group of bewildered ladies who throw words at me in Djoula, a Burkinabe dilect. They are confused. I look like them, I am built like the men they know, but I do not speak their language. “Anglais”, The French...

The thing about Enlightenment (continued)
. . . comprehend. In fact, it’s the simplest. It is quite literal—we ARE all one life—literally. Everything is one life. Yup. Fact. That’s it. Remember the game? The up and the down, the left and the right, the one the . . . many?
At the very core, your aliveness, your ‘beingness’, and my ‘beingness’ aren’t separate entities. My aliveness is the exact same one you feel, it’s the same one a tree feels—the very same. You don’t believe me? Try it, be it. Be to everythi...

The thing about Enlightenment (continued)
. . . precisely because you are already it. Have you ever seen a dog chasing its own tail?
The thing with enlightenment though is to be found tucked away in the difference between the ‘ings’—that is, between knowing and doing and being. The only way you can feel yourself enlightened is to be the things you already know. That’s all there is to it.
You have nothing to learn but to be the things you already know. The being of the thing makes the thing happen. You already...

The thing about Enlightenment
You don’t have to, but you kind of do. No doubt we’ve all heard that line before. If from none other than a likable boss trying to be nice but firm. Enlightenment is like that. You don’t have to, but you kind of do. Here’s the thing, you actually already are! How bizarre!
The only reason you think you’re not is because you believe you’re not. It’s that simple. Make no mistake, you most definitely are. Have you noticed that whenever a person you deem enlightened speaks about ‘the way’...

The thing about this Book ( continued)
In other words, mind over matter, that old saying. I digress. The point is this, the ideas which we’ve come to think of as massively complicated and difficult to grasp are not.
At some point in this book, you’ll come across the word God. Don’t panic. It doesn’t refer to the angry chap upstairs with sadistic intentions. No, I use God deliberately in an attempt to claim it back from the masters of dogma—the ones we call ‘The Religionists’. It’s not fair that they should c...

The thing about this Book
Does anyone actually read introductions? I’m not sure. But, as we’re here anyway, we might as well. I’ll keep it short—after all, this is meant to be a pocketbook.
This book then is about the little things. The little things, which for some reason we’ve managed to turn into hugely traumatic things. Little things like sex, enlightenment, God, and love. These are all small things. Yup. They were never meant to be these insanely twisted ideas. They are the ‘bread and butte...
