Signing in for the first time from Melbourne, Australia.
An old guy, coming up to 78, been following the Buddhist path and very interested in the non-dualists, like Tolle, Katie et al. Find it difficult to stay totally in the present: instead tend to drift mostly backwards but as an editor often forwards in planning and organizing work. I also find it difficult to believe that Katie's work is really as simple as she claims, though watching her counseling on YouTube clips she's obviously very accomplished and sensitive. Would be interested to hear from others with experience of The Work.

Welcome to da bums.

Poynter,

Don't get me started about those insight teachers!!! They sit on top of the mountain saying what a great view it is and that we should enjoy it too. In the meantime, average people are at base camp and would be better off learning how to climb and apply themselves to a good cultivation program rather than bagging out on their practice and just trying to have the same vantage point.

Just my opinion, of course. No shortage of opinions around here ... welcome to taobums!

Yours,
Yoda
