I attended a mens group and the discussion turned to anger. I look at the manifestation of anger as pain in my body and address the importance of not seeing what is, in Sanskrit 'avidya', in healing that. I realise that Gautama Buddha's near death by self inflicted starvation as an austerity yoga practice was a form of avidya, and that it was through touching his emaciated body that he saw that and shortly after that had is big enlightenment. i look at the narcissistic nature of Buddhism, compare that to the narcissistic roots of Catholicism, and question if narcissistic structures arise because people defer responsibility for their lives to an other, be it church or person. a fascinating discussion. 

On Anger, Others and Where to Mine Mine Mindfully — In the Body

In recent years, I've become a refugee in the time of covid. I mostly write prose and poetry. I hope to return to reading with music.
My main focus is yoga, meditation and research of Gautama Buddha and health of body and society. I'm creating a yoga centre outside of Oaxaca City to share my discoveries of exploration in this place called 'truth in a pathless landscape', to paraphrase Krishnamurti.
