As a meditation teacher I must believe that the practice of being still is inherently valuable; that ‘being’ informs ‘doing’, that action comes from mind, from our thoughts, intentions, dreams, and desires.There is more. Coming to stillness is not just an absence of movement. It is a journey into another realm; it is committing to relating to experience itself in a new way. It is also seeing that what we call our self is an invention, a concoction, and ruse. . . .
As a coach, a facilitator of change, I must also believe that there is no single way, no single view of things, no construct, no metaphysical representation, no psychological lens with which to view the world, that is automatically sufficient, nor even that is inherently true.
Any ‘true’ system dissolves its own tenets, sees through itself, and would claim for itself only that it is a skillful praxis —a movement towards freedom. Freedom being something you can define only by saying what it is not. Because it is not conditional on anything. It has no intrinsic qualities. Why is this so hard to get?
