God looks out upon the world from all the eyes of all the creatures therein. To see as God sees, regard every creature as the body of God. ~Tame Bear Our dear cat Duncan died several months ago, on May 26, 2011. His ashes still sit on the side table in the living room, waiting to be buried, […]

I love my home town — Goshen, Indiana. After watching last night’s CNN Debate, politics here at home just seems so much more… refreshing! Mayor Allan Kauffman is running for re-election and has approved this delightful message:
R.I.P. Steve Jobs 1955 – 2011 Read Steve Jobs – A biography by Walter Isaacson
The fireworks that led up to the burning of the Man at this year’s Burning Man festival were simply beyond belief. Incendiary explosions and massive fireballs accompanied an ongoing finale. They sure don’t do fireworks like this back home in Goshen, Indiana! These are keyframes from video I shot during the Saturday night burn. They’re […]
In August of 2011, 50,000 people converged on the Black Rock Desert in Nevada for a radically self-reliant community experience like no other… “Burning Man – Rites of Passage.” While “The Man” held the center of attention, it was in the Temple of Transition where the citizens of Black Rock City opened their minds and […]

“The world around you is the world inside you. They are not two things. You (in there) are the world (out here).” ~ Tame Bear Seeing the ultimate indivisibility of all things is a key to understanding nonduality. The world is ONE, not TWO.
