 3.  Let our first premise be true, that we are living deeply in imagination (thoughts).  Our first investigation can be:  is there ever a time when we are not living in thoughts?  For those that say yes, let them remain in their experience of an unperturbed state.  If they have their own theory of wholeness or oneness, let them contribute in that way which feels right for them.  

For those that say "no, that even when my mind is not active my conditioning goes unbroken", let us take a second step in our investigation.  How can we use words in a collective way that creates a realm of possibility or a new context for being and acting?  There are many easy examples of purely verbal creations that are undeniable.

In feudal times the contexts of being and acting were either King, Nobility, Subjects or Slaves.  No slave or subject ever had any other possibilities, nor any input into how the community was administered.  Then in a different age and different part of the world one human being created the context "citizen" as a thought form.  This one word context has now shaped the world and all of its human institutions for centuries, even though it is merely aother thought.

What is the next word, or realm of possibilities that will model your and my life?  What new realms of possibility could offer change to our society so that societal benefits include more of our neighbors and more of the world population?  

That is what we want to find out.  Come join us.

Would it be prudent to wonder if this whole scenario isn't just another verbalization about no verbalization?  If it is indeed another conversation then it's roots are in the words that created it, and we have easy access to what is running our lives.  Because no amount of the spiritual sidestepping of words will uncover even the simplest of conditioned verbal programing.  Then are we running as these spiritual robots? 

The only thing that I can imagine which is flexible enough to be appropriate for every individual, is the examination of self talk, both conscious and unconscious.  Conscious self talk is that little voice in our head and the limiting context for life that it creates.  Some of us think that occasionally we overcome that.  Unconscious self talk is that collective vibration that we are even born into, or that we have forgotten where it came from.  It is unseen in creating our personality and running our every move.

Any thinning out of our limiting self talk can be immediately felt as an energetic shift of relief.  The resultant energetic calming effect just has to engender a deeper seeing of this moment.  This is a brand new territory of greater appropriateness in our speech and actions and more effectiveness in whatever we choose to do.  It even increases the effectiveness of our being able to make those certain choices.  Remember, in the conversation creating the three markers above, personal choice was meaningless, or at best optional, (it's a conversation).

I have found access to groundbreaking material cataloguing and investigating the context created with self talk.  I would like to go through some of this on a Google Plus Hangout with 8 other people.  I even have an experienced presenter who would guide us through some of that material.  

My question is who of you would like to participate with one or two such experiments, and to feel for yourself the kind of opening that I am talking about?  Such an experience will likely happen painlessly, and from there we all can decide what kind of (perhaps more rigorous) approach would be warranted. 

I will be pleased to receive your email comments and considerations at

Why I am proposing this material for your consideration?

Most of you who show up on these pages have some take on how you appear in your own life and have some kinship with inquiring into what makes your life and the lives of others tick.  From this we are all familiar with the notion of "conditioning", which we admit to, and attempt to look at.  And because much of this conditioning causes discomfort, we have set out on these investigations and spiritual searches.  (It's our so-called suffering.)

Sooner or later we find that the conditions of suffering are in part a story that we continue to tell to ourselves.  Then in non-duality, we discover that there is a way to stop telling any story, and we immediately notice an immense relief.  Yes, without these internal conversations, we still exist.  So isn't this primary existence a more essential part of our nature, or maybe it's the truth of our being?  Let's just stay in this spaciousness.  And we have lots of justifications of how the world unfolds perfectly from that point of view, (point of no-view).

Yet there is a price to pay.  Much of the game in this life is verbal.  By consciously choosing to bypass the verbal, we become disengaged, and non-players in much of our game.  

Some say that words take you away from your experiencing, (that thinking and being somehow exclude each other).  True, continuous analyzing can separate you from the experience.  Now we have the idea that a pure experiencing has some greater value.  It's an idea that fully experienced events somehow become complete, and allow life to move on.  

Really, when you think about it, what is the point of "fully" experiencing if you're most often experiencing exactly the same thing?  The same anger, the same jealousy the same frustration, even 50 years of it.  Isn't that a proof that for those people pure experiencing isn't more value?  If pure experiencing works for you, great, but know this, that you and everyone else are totally transparent.  We all see your stuff still running, even if you don't.

Then where is this conditioning to be found?  Well it has to be predominantly verbal, (and the words have feelings and moods too).  Actually I am finding that a deep look into my conditioning is always available by merely looking into my words and beliefs.  A whole other, rewarding, and feeling world is right here right now, if I stop my damaging self-talk.  You think that you can't control self talk?  Try it, you will know that you can.  These sign posts are readily seen.

That seems to be the opportunity  of investigating this "leadership course", and I take leadership to mean only LEAD MY OWN LIFE, and nothing more. 

(Here is some more of the letter.)

During those times I was probably building a model of a "dialogue for creativity".   How could some shared discovery trigger a new mind-set that would immediately settle in a vast number of people?   And what would manifest out of that new obviousness?

I suppose that I still believe in this, or dream that it could be possible.  The regular webcasts are gone, even though technically it is not so difficult.  The regularity of it seems too much all consuming  for one person.  I prefer a few pauses in life.   So let this be our last email and a thanks,
