Nonduality
All the world is exactly and entirely as we have imagined it to be. That sounds so ordinary, but it is not. The “we” I speak of is everybody, all of us together, who are alive and imagining at this moment. If you read the Tame Bear Weblog regularly, you’ll recognize the underlying theme of […]
“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. In our minds, we slice up the world in a trillion different ways […]

After all, how many bears do you know that talk, that write updates on their WordPress blog, that tell life stories on their own podcast? […]

Be. Be still. Be still and know. Be still and know that I am. Be still and know that I am God. In the stillness, in the moment-by-moment of HERE and NOW, in the only place and time that ever really exists, this instant of being that is always just as it is, without memory […]
