I would be delighted to get one of his books as a gift so I hope your uncle feels the same. I’m currently on the inter-library lone list so I can read them all. “The Power of Now” was excellent. Thanks for the feedback and have a great holiday.

I havent read them myself but I’ve been feeling a ‘pull’ to do so and putting it off for whatever reason… this post is giving me that excitement again to go out and get the books for myself.

I’m glad you found my blog too. :) I agree that experiential knowledge is powerful and there is no substitute for training and discipline. We all need to awake and take responsibility for our own consciousness and I’m determined to go deep and share my experience with others. Thanks for the encouragement.

It’s good to see that you are expressing these aspects of yourself and writing about life and consciousness.

All of us need to pay more attention to life; to find our own unique way to cultivate more awareness, to be more curious — and to be disciplined enough to further that self-enquiry beyond the surface level mind candy and social buzz that is created by the self-help, new age, and consciousness industry.

There is no substitute for discipline and training. Whether it is Meditation, Tai Chi, Chi Gung, Yoga, or whatever. It is through these disciplines that we gain wisdom and knowledge. You can call it silent knowledge because it comes without hearing it from others. It arises within you as a result of your training.

Experiential knowledge is powerful.

That’s interesting. IMHO he would be better suited to island living, but then what do you expect from a gulf island gumbooter, eh? ;)
