The Empathic Civilisation

May 24th, 2010 | Posted by Mushin in general - (1 Comments)

A wonderfully illustrated talk – or better, fragment of a talk – by Jeremy Rifkin that I would love all my friends “world-change agents” to see and contemplate. A good question to go with this is: “What is the most strategic contribution I can make?”

Woman – or a man’s apocalypse

Woman is a masculine apocalypse, or can be – actually, she really is. Once I started to open up to the area of feeling into the world as it is – which obviously means, as I feel it to be – I find that women, and my beloved is the closest woman nearby, know this … Read more →

Life is Irritating

We need to recall the angel aspect of the word, recognizing words as independent carriers of soul between people. We need to recall that we do not just make words up or learn them in school, or ever have them fully under control. Words, like angels, are powers which have invisible power over us. They … Read more →

Desire is a meeting place

Desire is a meeting place. And it’s a matter of timing, aligning so much that synchronicity of desiring is much more likely. Have to have your ‘eye’ on the feeling-field, and keep the connection. This is an inner gesture, an immediate expression of what you have learnt before. Like walking. Ever looked at how a … Read more →

Enlightening the Passions – Day 6 (Jealousy)

As I was sitting this morning, scanning the list of the ingredients in the alchemical mix that is cooking in the cauldron of my heart (yes, my heart is also a cauldron; actually it’s the whole region between my lower throat and my pelvis) I finally was ready to face one that isn’t even on … Read more →

Enlightening the Passions – Experiment: Day 4 (Powerlessness)

Powerlessness, limitations, the powers of those and that beyond me… this day was filled with intimate encounters with that very feeling. But first I need to touch on some considerations that have come up in me regarding this exploration as a whole. It’s next to impossible to separate feelings, the essential emotions that I’m exploring … Read more →

Enlightening the Passions – Experiment: Day 3

November 18th, 2008 | Posted by Mushin in general - (5 Comments)

Today was challenging – yes indeed. Maybe because I took another close look at “powerless anger” (ohnmächtige Wut), and maybe also because a major triggering event recurred today in my relationship. Maybe also because I experienced strong waves of (unfulfilled) desire, and maybe because all of this came on strong together. What’s clear is that … Read more →

Enlightening the Passions – Experiment: Day 2

Once there is the resolve to move in a certain direction out of a basic understanding that this is “the call of my destiny”, things are more easy, even if from another point of view they might be hard. Last night I was reading about suffering from a Buddhist point of view – suffering’s nature, … Read more →

Exploring feelings – experiment day 1

After having looked at the videos I posted about yesterday I decided to do an experiment testing in practice what Michael Brown speaks about in those videos. I will blog about this experiment and practice here because it will help me keep it up and reflect upon it daily, and it might help some of … Read more →

Help comes from amazing places

Being with my feeling – or as Michael Brown whom you’ll hear from in this interview with Jordan Shafer, that I discovered after receiving an email from Gilles Asselin who spoke with high regard about his book The Presence Process – without condition everything I require in life comes… this is a most amazing inspiration … Read more →
