Living in the real world    

“Being conscious is cutting through your own melodrama and being right here. Exist in no mind, be empty, here now, and trust that as a situation arises, out of you will come what is necessary to deal with that situation including the use of your intellect when appropriate.

Your intellect need not be constantly held on to to keep reassuring you that you know where you’re at, out of fear of loss of control. Ultimately, when you stop identifying so much with your physical body and with your psychological entity, that anxiety starts to disintegrate. And you start to define yourself as in flow with the universe; and whatever comes along - death, life, joy, sadness - is grist for the mill of awakening,

Not this versus that

but whatever.”

    I was so pleased to see that you quote Ram Dass. He really does understand the importance of working on your own consciousness. On looking through your website I get the distinct impression that your coaching approach has a lot in common with his teaching. Am I right?

    Yes - absolutely!
