Douglas Harding's experiments on videos

On : http://www.youtube.com/user/headlessway
This method of self-enquiry, sometimes called 'headlessness' or 'seeing who you really are' ('seeing' for short), has been pioneered by the English philosopher and workshop leader Douglas E. Harding, born in 1909. It is a contemporary approach which investigates the question Who am I? and suggests that you can see Who you really are here and now. It provides simple but deep awareness exercises that direct you to this Seeing within yourself. See www.headless.org

non dual drawings

Sometimes drawings can be effective pointers.

in the awakened state, presence precedes thought

Resistance and being fully present

Excerpt from the YahooGroup ‘TheNow2’:

 

Eckhart Tolle Meditation Cards

"The Way Out of Pain"
All Suffering is
ego-created
and due to resistance.
All inner resistance is
experienced as negativity in
one form or another. Negativity
ranges from irritation or
impatience to fierce anger,
from a depressed mood or
sullen resentment to suicidal
thoughts. All negativity is
resistance. You can stop
negativity from
arising by being fully present.

"Liberation Through Change"
Any external
conditions that
are being resisted
tend to shift or dissolve quickly
through surrender. It is a
powerful transformer of
situations and people.
If conditions do not shift
immediately, your acceptance
of the Now enables you
to rise above them.
Either way, you are free.

Really nice poetry

Wide Awake Living Poetry
by Alice Gardner :

Still Here

Meeting all things today,
with their other sides intact

In the full emptiness,
all things have this balance:
light in dark, and dark in light
joy in sorrow, sorrow in joy.
Today it all comes together
without me.

Its amazing
how the world
all keeps happening
without my meaning-making
mechanisms,
Just as it is,
already finished, always in motion.

Eckhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey invited Eckhart Tolle on the web for a series of 10 class following the chapters of his book 'A New Earth'. This book is highly recommended for its clarity and the insights it provides.

Here is the link to the videos, audios and transcripts :
