THE ART OF HAPPENING
The Art Of Happening Happening: improvised or spontaneous. It’s what we do with Dharma. Spontaneous: occurring without premeditation or external stimulus, having an open, natural, and uninhibited manner. It’s what we do with Dharma. We are the pure heart of consciousness. Consciousness isn’t something organised. Thank goodness.

WHOM CAN YOU TRUST?
Whom Can We Trust? The ultimate decider to this question must be…us! Even if we are trusting something or someone outside ourselves, it is still ‘we’ who is trusting our own acknowledgement. We should, in fact, put ourselves on our … Continue reading
CONFIDENCE BEYOND DOUBT
Confidence Beyond Doubt We need confidence that is beyond belief and wishful thinking. Confidence must be without conceit. True confidence is unshakeable, which leads to unshakeable compassion. This is not for the faint hearted! Although we have much to learn … Continue reading
PETUNIAS PART TWO
