Returning to Intimacy
Author: Robert Jacksonjacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)
Wed, Dec 07, 2011
Return to the one that is not touched by the circumstances of the world. The one that lives in this world but not of this world. Drop the meditator, drop the form and just sit without any rigid model. There is no reconnection or creation of an experience or paradigm, it's ordinary and easy to do.
- Just sit
- Don't try to do anything
- Accept, accept , acccept
- Be compassionate with the mind noises
- Invite them in for tea and cake
- Don't try to create a quiet mind
- Don't try to let go
- Don't try to do it right
- Be breathed
- No special tools required
- No special words or prayers needed
- Just be you.
A stillness practice does not need to be another task or your list, just sit and be there with what is and don't resist whatever comes up. Just embrace all arrising phenomenon as it is and sit with what is. You are not here to accomplish anything or get anything right, just be and remember all thought is just thought and all pain is arising phenomenon. Breathe and accept. Breathe and be. Breathe and return to intimacy.

Barking Dog Mind
Author: Robert Jacksonjacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)
Tue, Sep 06, 2011
Do you have a barking dog mind that wont shut up?
Are you trying to distract it with treats, and other bribes?
Do you ignore is barks and try to drown them out with other sounds?
Do you numb out with television, alcohol, food, games, internets or other drugs?
Are you tired of the non stop yapping?
Are you ready to learn how to quiet your inner barking dog?
Then read on.
At present we can observe that we have a very noisy mind, it barks day and night, even in our sleep. We’ve tried a million things to quiet it and it never stops and in most cases it gets even louder. If we can be honest with ourselves and see that the present methods of taming the inner canine have failed then we have reached the first step accepting what is so. Up to this point your methods have failed, or they are temporary and fleeting at best. Can you drop your old ways and open to something new? That is the second step. The third step is to introduce new ways of thinking about your mind barking.
So we have these steps to take.
-
Accepting old methods are not working.
-
Make room for some new ideas
-
Introduce a new way to look at your present state of being.
When we accept things and stop fighting our own minds the brain has a chance to rest and settle. When it settles we can reach a point of clarity and stillness that allows for a certain freshness, a hollowed ground so to speak, a place to plant new seeds?
When we let go of ideas and preferences we can make room for newness to enter into our experience. When our minds are full there is simply no room for new ideas. Can you suspend your beliefs and have an open mind? If so continue on.
Congratulations you have moved on and you are ready to test out some new ideas and concepts. That’s right we are going to test things out for ourselves. A wise teacher once said, “You don’t have to take my word for it. Simply try it for yourself.” And this is very true, we should always try a teaching for ourselves and see if it fits.
New ideas.
-
You are not your thoughts.
-
You are not who you think you are.
-
You can be free from you barking dog mind.
-
Know that most of what we see and experience in others is also barking dog mind.
Presently we think that we are the thoughts that stream through our minds. They come and go and sometimes never leave us alone. These thoughts are just like radio signals, we can choose to tune in, or tune out, or tune off. Can you try out this new way of thinking?
The new way to think is, “I’m not my thoughts, or the voices arising from this mind and I can let them pass”
Try this out for a week and report back to share your insights.

Ego schmego!
Author: Robert Jacksonjacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)
Mon, Aug 29, 2011
The invitation to arrive in this moment is constantly being offered to you. It's up to you to take it.
- Breathing in I accept what is so in this moment.
- Breathing out I accept what is so in this moment.
- No resistance to what is so.
- Just being in this moment radically accepting what is so.
- Know the rat-mind, from the heart-mind.
- Embrace the path of no resistance.
The mind wants to believe that we can't live without it and when we begin to see that we can, it's soft underbelly is exposed and vulnerable. In this state it's first reaction is to strike back against it's attacker and use all of it's defense mechanisms. These defense mechanisms come in varied form but in most cases it uses fear as it's primary weapon. It may also use numbing tactics like immersing oneself in a mindless television shows, playing a video games, or getting drunk, or high.
What can we do?
When we use our breath to come home and check in we can catch ourselves before we use a tactic, habit or substance to escape the rat mind. When we catch ourselves before we engage in that habit we can instill this practice, the practice or activity of just observing. Observing silently, without judgment and letting the thoughts pass by. Try sitting today for just two minutes. If your mind say's it's bored, then just sit there and be as bored as you can. Do boredom all the way. If your mind wont stop spinning, just let it spin and don't try to do a thing. Do nothing all the way everyday for just a few minutes. There is no need to have a formal meditation practice, just sit quietly, watch, listen and breath.

Learning to breathe.
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Sat, Jul 16, 2011
*At the bottom of this post is a link to hear the podcast.
If you think about it we were never taught to breath, isn’t that strange? We have been living out our whole lives without the basic instructions on how to breathe properly. Isn’t that shocking? Most of us breathe like little chipmunks that are being chased by Mr. Twinkles the neighborhood cat. That type of breathing is fight or flight, or panic breathing. We are all running from Mr. Twinkles in our own way throughout the day.
Some examples of using panic breathing would be:
-
Rush hour traffic someone cuts you off.
-
The boss yells at you in front of your whole team.
-
Your child runs into the street.
-
You have a confrontation with a co-worker, friend, or spouse that erupts into a full fledged argument.
-
You are in pain from a stomach ache, injury or severe illness.
In all the instances we are usually taking very short and shallow breathes that only worsen the circumstance or situation. So what can we do? We can learn to breath properly. Here are some steps to proper breathing and recognizing the warning signs of panic breathing.
-
Your body tenses up, clenched fist, or clenched jaws.
-
Your sweating, shaking, tensed in the neck or shoulders.
-
You have body aches in neck, shoulders, or hands.
-
You have stomach aches, ulcers, or allergies.
-
Trouble eating, sleeping, relaxing.
The signs are there and I recognize them, now what do I do?
-
Stop and check in with yourself. Become aware of the signals you are receiving.
-
Excuse yourself from the circumstance or situation and find a quiet corner.
-
Exhale all the breath from your body and let your head, shoulders and stomach relax.
-
Take a long, slow, deep breath and do this several times.
-
On your exhale try saying to yourself, “In, I’m breathing in. Out, I’m breathing out.”
-
Notice the minds casting about habit to find ways that it may make itself right. It may use tactics that include saying things like this: “He was wrong and treated me with disrespect!” “That jackass cut me off. He’s going to kill someone!” “No one can treat me like this, I’m going to report that jerk!”
-
Gently bring your attention back to your breathing.
-
Repeat until calm and don’t give in to the minds demands.
A note:
This is not about pushing these feelings or emotions down, or to be in denial of your personal rights, freedoms etc. This is about calming the ego/mind before you respond using your emotions, rather than calm reason. This is about creating a platform for a proper response. The concept I’m presenting here is about not been run by the emotional outbursts that our ego may throw out there to defend itself. We are calming the mind in order to relax back into our natural state of being before we respond or act on impulse.
Just breathe...

Where I become a test subject for following your heart's desire.
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Wed, Dec 01, 2010
I'm jumping in and taking you with me! Join me on the journey of following your heart's desire. Let's step into the unknown together and take the leap of faith. In this podcast we talk about:
-
Embracing your own inner teacher/guide and waking up to your full potential.
-
We create an experiment to see what happens when we turn around 180 degrees and go in the direction we are guided to go.
-
Embracing the opportunity to wake up and see our true self.
-
The void we feel. The disconnect is nothing more than a thought or thoughts arising that we decide to hook in to, give meaning to, embellish and create the story we call 'self'.
-
We look at being content, happy and peaceful by dropping the concept that something from the outside will make us whole. (If only I could change such and such about myself, I could feel good and be happy.)
-
If you no longer attached to these thoughts and you dropped thinking all together, what would your life be like ?
We came in here complete, needing nothing but the basics in life. We complicated this by constructing a separate self. That is the idea of a self that is separate from all others and all things. We can dissolve this separate self and experience life the way it was meant to be experienced. Happy, blissful and full of joy!

Bow in gratitude
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Thu, Sep 02, 2010
The practice of gratitude is honed over time with patience and humility at its’ core. A good way to experience this practice is bowing in gratitude. This doesn’t have to be the physical act of bowing (but that helps); you can just bow in your mind. When you see something arising in the mind where you see yourself stuck and desiring something you don’t have, stop and bow to what you already have. If you find yourself in the old habit of grumbling, complaining or finding fault in something, stop and find something to be grateful for. Look around you at those that are in need and give something to them. The ego resists this practice so we know we are chipping away at something of substance. I bow to you all.

Success is in the eye of the beholder
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Mon, Jun 14, 2010
How do we define success?
In our society success seems to be measured by what we have done, created, or collected rather than what we have given or shared with our fellow sentient beings.
I had always seen success as money, cars, big houses and fame. I lived most of my life in pursuit of all of these material things and it wasn't until I had many life changing experiences that my opinions on what success was dramatically altered. One of these life changing experiences happened while living on the Big Island of Hawaii and I relate that story in this podcast. So do we need a life altering experience to change the way we see things? Yes I believe sometimes we do. How can we have a life altering experience? Stay open and don't be afraid to look deeply into your heart. Assess your life daily and see where you can change current beliefs and opinions to bring about more compassion and empathy. Open yourself to new ways of thinking and seeing. Sit quietly on a daily basis. It is in solitude that we can begin to open to a new way of looking at our ourselves and our intention.
How do we re-define success?
-
Who gives the most.
-
Being happy in each moment regardless of the circumstance.
-
Putting others before ourselves.
-
One who follows their heart to serve others without expectation of the outcome.

Tweet my Facebook status on MySpace
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Tue, Mar 16, 2010
Are you using social networking to avoid being social.
Have you noticed yourself Tweet-ing and Facebook-ing in social situations to avoid talking and interacting with people? I'm constantly observing people in line at the store, at the airport, on a plane and in the elevator engaged with their device. We are immersing ourselves in a medium that is helping to create social barriers with our fellow beings. A new distraction that keeps us from meeting our true self in the form of those around us that manifests as our peers. Our peers can represent aspects of ourselves we may be having trouble accepting and we don't want to confront that because it's uncomfortable.
- put your phone down at lunch
- in the elevator put the phone down and smile at someone
- make a time at night to turn off all devices and sit quietly for five minutes
- leave your phone at home one weekend day or part of that day
Take it slow, take your time and be easy on yourself.

Peace can't be obtained
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Fri, Nov 27, 2009
How can we obtain that which we already have? Should we drop the goal of obtaining peace as a result of our meditation practice? Can we just sit without wanting something to happen and just be with what is? Having a gaining idea can lead us into a circle of suffering, pain and confusion. Nothing is permanent, so trying to reach a state of permanent peace is an unreachable goal. Can we accept that we will never have a continuous, blissful state of oneness? Can we call off the search and see that the thing we are looking for is right here, right now, in this moment? It can be nowhere else but here because only this moment exists. Everything else is only thought.
-
The one who seeks peace doesn't exist.
-
The one who is looking for enlightenment doesn't exist.
-
The one who wants to keep peace blocks the peaceful state that already exists.
-
It's not possible to attain a perfect, constant state of peace.
-
That which thinks it's not at peace will never attain it.
We must ask who or what is seeking peace. Who or what is not at peace or is agitated with present circumstances.

What to do with pain, heartache and loss.
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Thu, Jul 09, 2009
In our daily lives we have so much distraction and stimulation that we barely have the time to feel. What do I mean by feel? Feeling our pain, loss heartache, frustration anger etc. Our society is built up in a way that we don't have the time that we need to get in touch with our emotions.
- Make time to be quiet and alone.
- Loose the distractions by turning off the TV, phone, computer etc.
- Find others to talk with about how you feel.
Learn how to identify the signals that you need to wind down and check in. Anger, sadness, depression, agitation etc. Watch for body signals as well. Backache, neck tension, jaw clenching, upset stomach. These signals are there to remind us to check in, wind down and listen.

What are you willing to give up to feel peace right now?
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Sun, Jun 07, 2009
In our lives we are attached to many things. We are attached to objects, feelings, emotions, opinions, thoughts and desires. When we are attached we are imprisoned by our own mind's limited perceptions and expectations. When we become detached we open ourselves to possibility, spontaneity and freedom from suffering. We are no longer limited to our minds old habits and paradigms.
- When we suffer we are confused, muddled and collapsed.
- To become detached is to become free.
- Detachment is freedom from suffering.
Look at what you can give up to feel the peace that is present in this moment. Are you holding onto anger, fear, loneliness, sadness, expectations or desires? Ask yourself, "Do I want to feel anger, fear, loneliness or depression more that I want to feel peace right now?"
- Peace is always present
- Freedom is always present
- Stillness is always present
Get out a sheet of paper and put this down at the top: What am I willing to let go of to feel peace right now? Look at what you are feeling right now and ask yourself for each emotion, thought or feeling: Would I rather feel this or would I rather feel peace?

How can you best serve Humanity?
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Sun, May 17, 2009
What the heck are we doing here?
What is our true purpose in life?
What is our deep driving desire?
These questions are the big questions in life right? I myself have been asking them for years and I know that I'm not alone in wanting to know the answers. I have read hundreds of books ranging from contemporary esoteric thought, to ancient texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, The Tao and the Bible. All of these books had answers to theses questions and not surprisingly they were very similar. After many years of self study, meditation and literary research I have come to a conclusion. In most cases the simplest answers to life's most difficult questions are usually correct.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Why do I think that I'm here?
- What does my intuition tell me?
- What are my talents?
- How do I best serve Humanity?
Work on developing your insight into these questions by doing the following:
- Meditate on opening your heart to your inner Buddha, Joy, God, Spirit.
- Make a list of your talents and dreams and carry it with you.
- Look at the blocks you may have created around your dreams.
Remember to open yourself to all possibilities.
Play and laugh like when you were young:
- Make a date to do something you enjoyed as a child.
- Draw a picture.
- Goof off.

Are you getting what you want?
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Sun, Apr 26, 2009
Try giving to receive.
Are you not getting what you want out of life, your relationships and your job? Have you ever tried to give what it is that you want?
If you give what it is that you want from life to others, you will receive all that you want out of life and more. We all want love, kindness, safety, security, health, wealth and well being and we know that as truth.
So if we know what it is that we want, we can easily see want others want too. In these tough times we tend to curl up in out little cocoons and hide away 'till the storm passes. We need to break out of our shells, step forward into the great unknown and do the impossible. One truth that I know that will explode your spiritual growth is this:
The next step that you are afraid to take is exactly the step that you need to take.
Follow these simple steps to get what you want by giving what you want:
* Practice empathy by understanding all people are suffering and have experienced loss.
* Commit to a full day of giving from your heart.
* Meditate on opening your heart to giving.
* Give something small like a compliment or a hug.
Work on developing your insight as to why you do what you do and ask yourself these questions around giving:
* Am I coming from a place of lack?
* Am I coming from fear?
* Am I projecting poverty consciousness?
* Am I being selfish?
Remember not to condemn or judge yourself, just observe.
Why does giving work?
Giving works because it emulates nature and nature is always giving and abundant. Can you feel yourself as a giving and abundant being like nature? Observe nature, spend some time out there in it and see first hand its never ending supply that is given without expectation of any return. Can we give this freely and openly? Practice opening yourself to what others want by observing these facts:
* People often give exactly the opposite of what it is that they want.
* Most reactions are conditioned and habitual. "They know not what they do."
* People are wearing masks that protect them from attacks.
* Suffering is often projected by others as fear, anger, or frustration.
When you open yourself to what others want you stretch yourself out beyond your safety zone and this creates growth. This growth mixed with wisdom and discernment practiced openly sets the example of love and kindness.

Meditate always, with these simple steps.
Do you have the time or patience to meditate twice a day for two hours? Most of us just don't have that kind of time, energy, or focus. So how the heck will we ever become the perfect person we can be if we can't meditate daily? In this podcast we learn a few things about meditating while on our feet, doing our job, eating our lunch and brushing our teeth. How can that enlighten us? You'd be surprised. Why not try these few little steps and see what happens for yourself.
- Today when you brush your teeth, just brush your teeth.
- Whenever the phone rings, treat it as a meditation bell. Take three deep breaths before you answer and relax.
- When passing through doorways notice them.
- Walk with mindfulness to your car, the bus or from the couch to the fridge.
- Be gracious for something or someone in your life.
- Help a stranger.
- Give yourself some approval.
What do you think about these steps for mindfulness? Do you have any stories, ideas, suggestions or little tricks for mindfulness you can share on our forum?
If so, join the Part Time Buddha Club and be a part time enlightened being:)

My gift to you! Two tracks off my CD, Flight of the Hawk
jacksonart_2000@yahoo.com (Robert Jackson)Author: Robert Jackson
Wed, Jan 07, 2009
It's with great pleasure that I announce the re-release of my CD, Flight of the Hawk!
This CD was recorded in Sedona, Arizona in 2000 and then re-mastered by an old and dear friend of mine, Kevin Peterson (thanks Kev!). It contains music performed on the Native American Flute, drum, didgeridoo, and guitar, all performed by me and accompanied by nature sounds. This CD is very special to me as it has some recordings that were created in a little cabin in one of the most inspirational and spiritual places that I know. The magic and wonder of Sedona comes through strongly in this recording and I do hope that it heals, brings peace and a little joy into your lives.
Flight of the Hawk is available by download from Amazon, Itunes and many other distributors on the Internet. As a gift to you, my valued listeners, I am making two of the tracks available at no charge for your enjoyment.
If you have a coupon for this CD from a previous sale that had not gone through, please contact me and I will make sure that you get your copy. It's available only in digital format at this time.
Enjoy a few tracks from Flight of the Hawk by clicking one of the links below, when you do so it should open your web browser.
