About
Common Ground
Non-duality is simple description – "not two" – pointing to what is not the case, so what's really real can be revealed.
It is the common ground in all wisdom traditions – at least, the ones that go deep, and point to to the Source of all life and experience. (They call it "Advaita" in the East, and "emptiness" in Buddhism – but even that can get too religious for my taste, as adherents to to the form, when what is being pointed to is the formless, the non-objective).
So here we are winging it, and not repeating what has been done before, but (hopefully) creatively presenting, via writing and photos, what is "seen".
What greater art, and enJoyment – well, other than the slog of editing – and challenge could there be than to explore, dive deep, look, see and try to bring up from the bottomless "Ocean of Knowledge", some multi-faceted gems, refracting light of colors of wonder – glimpses of the timeless – to express that common ground, that intangible but real truth, the beauty and love?
What would Hafiz say? ...
It's like a Dance with the Infinite.
Hey, I like that!
I recently attended an Innate Health Conference in Fort Lee, NJ. It was my first Innate Health experience. I’ve been deeply interested in human transformation since taking the EST Training in 1980. I’ve been an Orthodox Jew since 1989. One of the Innate Health leaders in the NY area gave me the link to this website. I’m interested in helping Innate Health further develop The Three Principles. I’ve participated in some weekly group online meetings and monthly professional supervision meetings since the conference and find the underwhelming. There is an awful lot of confusion amongst the participants and the leaders don’t seem to have very good coaching skills. Whenever a coach doesn’t have a good answer to a question, they always seem to migrate to the airy-fairy ‘universal intelligence’ answer, a sure sign that people don’t know what they are talking about. I am interested in developing an R&D group to take Innate Health to a new level. Would you be interested in participating in a discovery-call to discuss formulating an R&D effort?
Dear Refoyl –
I appreciate your interest and enthusiasm regarding human potential. Humans have a vast untapped wealth of wisdom and creative power. The frontier is wide open in the field of “consciousness studies” (or however you want to see & approach the understanding of this human experience, and happiness).
It’s unfortunate that speakers fall back on stock answers about “universal intelligence” when they are at a loss. However I wouldn’t throw out the baby with the bathwater and reject the possibility that there is such a thing (or non-thing), if that is what your “airy fairy” comment is indicating. But perhaps “common humanity” would go down better.
I’m willing to help how I can…
Peace,
Eric
I came across your writings in relation to 3P’s and just wanted to thank you – for your clarity, wisdom & well grounded discourse – the antithesis of “airy fairy”. Thanks
Thanks Beth. Encouraging words.
Dear Eric, I must concur with Beth, your deeper Knowing shines thru your
blog posts, writings & responses, including the innate wisdom you shared in your reply to Refoyl. Have you had a direct experience (yet)? Just curious because you certainly “get it” Also do you offer guidance or 1:1 consult (via phone or online)? Kindly email me or post here if you feel comfortable. {Namaste} Thank You very much Eric.
Sharmini – Thank you for the kind comment and questions on my website.
I’ve had an experience of my true nature, yes. The undoing of learned tendencies continues, as it does for all us (including sages and so-called enlightened folks)… 🙂
Yes I offer consulting and do online meetings (http://52.27.9.107/truth-lover-meeting/). Please use the Contact page to get in touch.
Warmest Regards,
Eric
