the following is a recent edition to “White Trash” While I was a university student I spent my summer vacations at a yogi ashram in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri.  It was ironic to be at such an enlightened community in the middle of what seemed to be an environment out of the movie “Deliverance” […]

This is a chat I had with a friend the other day.  Slight editions were made only for clarity, along with nicknames. Quetzal Bill says: I haven’t used Facebook recently. Now the stream is so full of AI crap. And all of the fake news! It is even more a hall of illusions than before. […]

A really evil person sent me a good vibration the other day. I did not realise that he had such a bad vibe when I first saw him smiling at me and nodding his head to say hello. People around here are generally very friendly and strangers often say hello to me. He had a […]

A few years ago a Facebook friend who turned out to not be very friendly made some comments on some photos of me playing the flute in some indigenous community in Chiapas. She said that I played classical music that those people probably could not understand. I told her I played the music that I […]

I play the solo quenacho flute to aid contemplation, to cure a headache and sometimes in my yoga classes during the relaxation. Recently, while travelling, a person was listening to me play by the beach.  She was very grateful and told me that she had been depressed and that the music made her feel better. […]

“The apparition of these faces in the crowd:Petals on a wet, black bough.” After travelling through two international airports in one day I recall Pound´s “In A Station Of The Metro.”  Sleepless, I lie awake at night seeing all of the faces of the day, even the one´s I never remembered even seeing pass by […]

A mystic seeks some higher, absolute and enduring truth and declares the world as something that must be transcended.  Suffering the loss of what is near and dear in the relative, ever-changing world propels more conscious beings to renounce blind attachments and fleeting desires to find something higher, or at least relate to what is […]

I had just gotten off of the train in Berlin.  I was waiting for a friend who had been talking to two German girls and was exchanging addresses with them.  While waiting for him a punk with a blue mohawk approaches me and asks if I had a cigarette.  I did not understand German but […]

In some recent writings on this blog I have been attempting to comprehend the relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm through some practical stories of non-dualism. I wrote about situations not so much from the gaze of deep meditation or abstract contemplation but from really mundane encounters in which the infinite light reveals itself […]

The Mayan tour guide at Chichenitza told us that it was true that the Mayans sacrificed humans by chopping off their heads or tearing out their hearts.  Many Mayan people I met or people who praised their culture told me that the Mayans never, or rarely, performed human sacrifices and that human sacrifice was as […]

Stavrogin: …..in the Apocalypse the angel swears that there´ll be no more time. Kirillov: I know. It´s quite true, it´s said very clearly and exactly. When the whole of man has achieved happiness, there won´t be any time, because it won´t be needed. It´s perfectly true. Stavrogin: Where will they put it then? Kirillov: They […]

We have started the work of planting organic coffee. A friend suggested that I should build a cabin for tourists who would like to visit an organic coffee farm. I think tourists would need something more to do in the local area than just visit a farm.  However, El Triunfo natural reserve is nearby, which […]

Trees hold our precious earth together to prevent floods.  They give us fire for wood and building shelters.  Some give us fruits and food from their leaves.  They work ceaselessly to convert all of the carbon we mindlessly dump into the atmosphere only to give us oxygen to live.  Although it is commonly known that […]

When I began to practice yoga at the age of 21 all of the spiritual ideas that had attracted me toward some spiritual path began to make sense to me.  I began to see in a more clear light all of the good Christian ideas that I was exposed to with some very noble examples. […]

To see the world as a frameless photoand wander through the night,or submit to sweet affections for earthly formcaressed in the light of the known. Can we endure Your darknessand pass by the light from these wanderer’s innsensconsed from this dark forest? Into many such places have we wandered,been visitors in tidy rooms with polished, […]

It was a Sunday with my friends on the ranch. A man from the local village arrived on a 4-wheeled motorcycle. He was a person that did some occasional work for us. He was very drunk and came to ask me for money. I denied him but he implored. I just told him that he […]

An Excerpt from A Name To The Nameless There has never been nor will there ever be a more exalted inspiration than the realization of the oneness of the human soul with the Infinite Being. This is an ever-renewing germ of thought in the perennial philosophy that will sprout wherever there are noble hearts and […]

n the 90‘s I lived in a spiritual community in rural Missouri where many members were from India. The locals would come and shoot their rifles at us, try to burn down our buildings and shout “Sand Niggers!” (which is actually a racist term for Arabs, but what does a hick know?) We would call […]

A friend writes to me the other day and asks how he can leave behind some worldly habits that prevent him from being able to dedicate himself to meditation. They are common habits that many people enjoy but that serious meditators have left behind. So, if many other people have overcome habits of enjoying alcohol, […]

For countless lives my eyes turn toward you, rolling upward, inward, into that primordial eye,   Peering into these lives and deaths in search of freedom. Lost in the spirits crown, forgetting world and self Your formless bliss and gentle Om release nectar from the spirits crown and flood me with the intoxication of the […]

I was initiated into a Rajadhiraja Tantra Yoga tradition when I was a student in Austin in 1993.  I adopted a very healthy vegetarian lifestyle without drugs and alcohol. Within a few months the kundalini began with what would be a very long and intense awakening. As a student of psychology and world literature, I […]

Personally, I fared very well growing up in the United States. My grandparents were farmers yet they sent all their children to college and they all progressed into the middle class. My mother was the only daughter who, due to my surprise arrival, did not finish college immediately after high school and only later did […]

This evening my soul poured out and into all things,leaving this empty, lonely vessel, and was filledwith an infinite, ever-flowing stream.My soul poured out,reeling and roaring into everything.Ceased of breath, I am;empty of form in a diaphanous blue immensity,in the gentle frolic of the evening wind,in the warm smile of the setting sun,condensed into flowing […]

The infinite being is beyond name and form yet bestows name and form to all things. Nothing exists apart from the causal matrix, the fundamental fractal that divides its very own Self so as to create the universe by infinite self division. Creation is the division and fragmentation of the original Self, as reflected in […]
