the meal and the menu, while listneing to my old 8 track

hi

if one can have complete attention then:

the menu ceases to exist
the tape stops playing
time stops
and we see what is

I guess this includes the possibility that all the above keeps going however one observes them to

observing the true nature of reality

read the flame of attention

it might be that the action is not to question the question does god exist but instead to observe the fact the question exists

A simple one slide power point covering the basics.

The power point takes you through thinking about action from an ontological perspective and might open up new ways of being / doing.

Existentialism. Coaching

Reading 'existentialism@ by R. C Solomon


it is helpful in getting a bit more of a grip or handle on Heidegger's ideas about being, being in the world, I, they and average-ness.

Still along way to go to my understanding however.

The 'they' is intriguing, i suspect i come up against the leveling of they frequently and this causes some problems or waves.

Emotions and recommneded reading. Coaching

True to our feelings by R C Solomon

Insight to an integrated emotional and happy life
debunking myths
and points to other possible relevant writers


Destructive emotions, a dialogue with the Dalai Lama
Very useful in backing up coaching hypothesis about the importance of emotions

How to see yourself as you really are by Dalai Lama
insight to the value of meditation and how to practice.

All three together provide a good grounding in the value of understanding our emotions and the importance of working with them and how they are key to our being in the world.

nothing to say

most of what people say is meaningless like drizzly rain we hardly notice it and soon it is gone, evaporated away

Connectedness

If we imagine life as a tree and the universe as a forest

then each of us is a leaf

which lasts for only a season

I am

I am an expression of the universe, part of the unfolding, I am a manifestation of the self-consciousness awareness of the universe.

As such I experience separateness as a natural consequence of that manifestation.

I describe my awareness of the sense of my being present as a separate being as being human.
