Gender can be looked at sans detrimental effect on the Dharma.

While watching Adyashanti's 'Guided Meditation Video Adyashanti' on YouTube, I enjoyed being reminded of the part of existence that is beyond gender, that ... Awareness itself is aware. Consciousness itself is conscious..." (Adyashanti, n.d, Guided meditation with adyashanti, retrieved from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WU1Agfd_nQw).

Letting Go at MCI MA Prison

After leaving the trap (a trap is a security space where one door closes behind the volunteers and another door opens in front of us leading inside the prison walls, electrified wire and guard towers) the remotely actuated door opens to a pathway lined by yellow, red and and multi-colored tulips. The smell of fresh cut grass mingles with the cool fresh air and the sky is patched with threatening dark clouds occasionally revealing bright blue sky. I arrive at my destination, "the battle room"…

Another response to a class question.

The question posited was "what called" to us from amongst a series of writings. I resonded to Krishnamurti's 1929 speech regarding the dissolution of the Order of the Star.

 

Re:"What calls to you?"

Showing Up Together

Last night was our final class for the summer - we'll begin again ..and again, and again, and again.. in September (or more accurately, in each precious moment!).
