When I talk to people about meditation, I frequently hear the following lament: “I’ve tried meditation, but my mind just races and races! I can’t do it!” My response (as you will see in the video) is that noticing the mind racing with thoughts is a good thing! Check it out and let me know [...]…
I am a passionate proponent of good questions. I think that questions allow us to frame our thinking, and that well formed questions lead to stronger, deeper, and more fruitful thinking. In this video I talk about about an adaptation to a question I picked up from Brendan Bruchard. I hope you enjoy! Please let [...]…
I happen to be a big Terrence McKenna fan. One of his frequent self-checks is a question he learned from one of his college professors, “What’s so great about it?” In this vid I ask that question about awakening, and come at a side benefit I think is key. Please check it out, and let [...]…
Hello folks! Here’s a little video I filmed this morning. It’s one of the “guide rails” I like to use to zero in directly on me when looking at me. I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think in the comments! Cheers!…

Some of the questions seem to be coming from confusion over the distinction I make between “what you are”, and “how to be.” (I draw that distinction strongly in this video.) I’d like to [...]…
As I’ve brought up before, it seems to me that we live in two realms simultaneously. The “how to be” realm and the “what you are” realm. It also seems to me that it’s possible to see the world through both of those lenses. Of course, when we first are born, the “how to be” [...]…
I’ve gotten some cool questions over the past few weeks though replies to my email updates from the site, the little question box near the bottom of the sidebar, and from social media sites. I made this short film to answer one of the frequent ones that seems central to the matter at hand. I [...]…
Time for another awesome interview! Today’s interview is with Christine Wushke, of innerlightyoga.blogspot.com. We had a lot of fun with this interview, not least because it took us about 3 weeks to line up! (It’s taken me a few weeks to actually get it up on the site too. Life is funny that way, isn’t [...]…
