singing… with the elements – [book] “The Space of Love”
Aniuta dear, just try singing without words, try to imitate the birds when you heard them sing, or the water when it burbles, or the rustling of the leaves and the wind when it is strong and whistles through the branches. And there are a lot of sounds in the grass. You will hear many…
less then a woMan – from [book] The Space of Love
Do not blame yourself, do not torture your soul. It was not a parter in what you did. You acted out of instinct. You were trained to protect whatever you were ordered to, without thinking about the situation. And your instinct took its course. It is not good for instinct to gain supremacy in Man.…
scrambled: feeling, being… writing
it was some two weeks ago when I noticed there are almost 100 published posts in my ( 🙂 this) blog. now there are 104 published and 28 in drafts. when I start this blog I was thinking “I have nothing to put here”… I remember Ronen encouraging me to have a personal blog.…
empty nest
today I found it… on the porch… devoid of life yesterday when we were outside I say she was not there… she was not nesting… they were both missing. where was she? where were they? where is the chicken? I felt for them also when she lost one egg, at the beginning of…
creating a Space of Love
Every Man* must create around himself his own Space of Love and offer it to his child. Bearing children without preparing a Space of Love for them is criminal. Every Man must create around himself a small Space of Love. And if everyone understood this and acted upon. then the whole Earth would become the…

this also filled my heart today… nice what a programmer with a dream and two beautiful dancers can co-create!… “something big without limitation… like a big digital poetry” (says Val). another one here: after exploring some more about them and seeing all they’ve been creating since their first .. I have a not-so-full…
sacred woman for a sacred man: (song) Duran Duran “Lay, Lady, Lay”
I’ve just remembered this song… didn’t find (didn’t search much either) find a more softer video for it… not the video is relevant now and here, but the lyrics :)… below to a sacred woman, to a sacred man, they dwell in my heart too <3 — Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass…

education… on souls

love talk about the emergence of the Universe, with Daniel Schmachtenberger
two evenings ago we watched and listen, together with Ronen, this video: I was breathless… there is not word thrown, no word misused, no empty words, no works to fill the blanks in his presentation. Daniel talks about how the Universe works… about emergence, synergy (of which I was always fascinated by and driven by…
M.N. Saunders on vipassana
I admit I felt good reading Saunder’s comments on A critique of Vipassana Meditation as taught by Goenka. I haven’t write my thoughts to the critique yet – I have some things to say, from my own experience – but I will put here Sander’s comments, as he is also a part of the professionals…
A critique of Vipassana Meditation as taught by Goenka
I just read this article and all the comments to it. It is an extended writing about the vipassana technique and thr 10-day course. I appreciate the effort of the author to gather these many aspects of it. I also wanted to write about it… If one did not took a 10-day vipassana course in…

[book] Why I Sit – Paul Fleischman (excerpt 6, last one)
This is the last excerpt from “Why I Sit” booklet by Paul Fleischman. IX Those ten days of nothing but focusing on the moment by moment reality of body and mind, with awareness and equanimity, gave me the opportunity ironically both to be more absolutely alone and isolated than I had ever been before […]…
[book] Why I sit – Paul Fleischman (excerpt 5)
VII Sitting enabled me to see, and compelled me to acknowledge, the role that death had already played, and still continues to play, in my life. Every living creature knows that the sum total of its pulsations is limited. […] Every day ends with darkness; things must get done today or they will not happen…
[book] Why I sit – Paul Fleischman (excerpt 4)
V I sit to grow up, to be a better person, to see trivial angers rise up and pass away, arguments on which I put great weight on Thursday morning fade by Thursday noon; and to be compelled to re-order, re-structure, re-think my life, so that, living well, my petty anger is orchestrated ahead of…
[book] Why I sit – Paul Fleischman (excerpt 3)
III Sitting is, among other things, the practice of self-control. While sitting one does not get up, or move, or make that dollar, or pass that test, or receive reassurance from that phone call. But military training, or violin lessons, or medical school, are also routes to self-control in this ordering and restrictive sense. Sitting…
[book] Why I Sit – Paul Fleischman (excerpt 2)
I I would like to know myself. It is remarkable that while ordinarily we spend most of our lives studying, contemplating, observing, and manipulating the world around us, the structured gaze of the thoughtful mind is so rarely turned inwards. This avoidance must measure some anxiety, reluctance, or fear. That makes me still more curious.…
[book] Why I sit – Paul Fleischman (excerpt I)
I heard about Paul Fleischman for some time now… again just before the 10-day retreat in Dhamma Dvara, then after I come out of noble silence I found his books on the library shelves in the center’s Lobby. I took and start reading this small booklet curious about his writings… cause it came to my…
