About Me

It began for me with a ruler taped to an empty cereal box.

In truth forms are inseparate.
Inseparate are omnipresent being and your own form.
Realize each as made of this Consciousness.

As breath turns from down to up, and again as breath curves from up to down - through both these turns, REALIZE.

Bathe in the center of sound, as in the continuous sound of a waterfall. Or, by putting fingers in ears, hear The SOUND Of Sounds.

Imagine spirit simultaneously within and around you until the entire universe SPIRITUALIZES.
