About Me:
 
Hello Friends and Welcome!

This is a record of my most recent inward journey, as I integrate more deeply into the radiant transparency of Being.

For the record, I am a gay man who has been deeply engaged in spiritual practices since the age of 12. My most important influences are Theravada Buddhism, devotional practices and non-dual Vedanta (in their more traditional and conservative forms).

The videos on this site all relate to experiential practice. Some are more personal and historical, and some are topical. I do my best to speak from direct experience and not to invoke doctrines or beliefs. I do not consider myself to be fully enlightened, whatever that might mean. Nevertheless because I have practiced deeply for so long, I thought that my experiences and insights could be useful to others along the path. It is in this spirit that I offer these video clips.

All comments are welcome if offered in a spirit of friendship.

Wishing you all a joy filled journey,

Daniel

I'm making a video for you right now. It'll be up in less time it's going to take you when you die that you had it WRONG the whole time.

Seriously, you guys are lost in the ego entirely. Sad to see.

Hi Daniel,

I am the yogi who you may have seen in the Kenneth Folk Jhana tour videos. I've been watching your videos and passed them onto the 'pragmatic dharma' crowd. I think they are very beneficial. Thanks for being open.

Also, it should be noted that duality is a horrific and deceiving bitch. She will turn seemingly small ripples into crushing waves. Self defence is natural, but it is easy to interdimensionally self mutilate. This is the essence of what the Gita taught me. Unfortunately, the only solution to society's problems are too abstract to even mention without risking a fate similar to Jesus, or perhaps far worse. We just have to hope civilization self corrects somehow.

Static nihilism is understanding that the now is a single moment expressed uniquely throughout eternity, therefore nothing can truly alter the genuine superset Reality. Dynamic nihilism is solely tethered to the illusory satisfaction of creatures. Will is rendered irrelevant due to the perpetual collapse of all identity, even in the "here and now" moment. This is scientific fact as displayed by a corpse. LoL. All life is but a passing linguistic paradigm in the mind of eternal absurdity. Within this context, what is there to truly accomplish other than the detached gaze? And of course the eternal spirit is relevant on some absurd level, but that has little to do with the inherently bewildered creature as you already know.

Yes, Pete Seeger is a great! I first read about him before hearing his music, he's an interesting guy. By the way, I very much enjoy your videos, a lot of what you have to say resonates with me, and they are also just plain helpful! Thank you!
