Introduce Your Self

Those who know me well, Know that have Thoroughly danced the dance of opposites.
From the seemingly spiritual esoteric sage~poet to the insecure egomaniac, plagued (blessed) by addiction, anxiety, fear and selfishness.
None of these are "Who *I* AM"..... In Essence.
As I spread All parts of this persona upon the altar of life, as I reveal and bring into the light all of the "seeming" aspects of Satprem, I am freed from the illusion that I am one OR the other.
I am both All and None of these expressions.
As I admit (let in) all of my "Human" frailities, fears, and foipols, they loose their power and I find myself, Happily in the midst and in the arms of my Human Family.
As I share with you, All of my "Humaness" as well as my inherent "Divinity", I am giving you the opportunity to trust me enough to share these same expressions with me.
When I am authentic, in the Deeper Knowing AND in my human conditioning, I open the door for you to come in to yourself and to Love and express All parts of Your unfoldment with me. Knowing,,,Always Knowing that you are Not Alone in your fears and your pain, your Inspiration and just U Being You~<3

Love to All~

... a short message rather than my life story. Please read my signature first, and before anything I ever say. I want to introduce myself now, short and sweet, in One Word.

To let myself use only one word now (the other words are peripheral to that, I hope).

To give what I now feel to be my leading, foundation, most crucial, attended to, Concept. (Words alas can seldom go beyond concept, unless in art, poetry, great literature, etc. Not as far as music or presence.) Doing the best with one word, I offer, from me, the word Acceptance.

Now my request to you is: please return my introduction, if you can, in the same way, with one word. Plus, then, more words as you may wish. Try to give me as much understanding of you as possible in that word. I want to understand you.

Please put all your words Here, so I can see at a glance who I have met here and who they are.

Hoping that is not too much to ask.

In the future I hope to answer all questions that may be put to me as honestly as I can, and I certainly invite Any such questions, though it may be that I will be brought to protest about some of them. My protests need not be taken seriously.

I want to confess already one thing: I may be found to be not quite so serious as may be desired, as I definitely have a light side. Is that good or bad? Okay, you don't need to tell me nothing is good or bad.

I plan to post something soon describing my world view and inviting criticisms and suggestions.

Hi all!!
Thought it would be best to introduce myself here before i start posting on this virtual domain.
This is my first time on a forum, heck; this is one of those rare occasions im actually using a computer haha.
Im from Holland,in my mid 20s, i dislike electronics, drama and superficial living; and love nature, yoga, poetry and abstract art.
Found this site through a friend, he was watching some videos while i was visiting him.
I like the message the website carry out; very simple message and a nice reminder to get out of that head of ours and into living lol; something i can relate deeply to, like most of us in these fast pased times.
It seems like a nice community, hence my registration on this website.

I hope i will have a nice stay here, and introduced myself properly

Thanks for this website NeverNotHere team! (and speakers ofcourse)

Blessings from Holland!
Bye!

Just saying hello as my first post at this site. I arrived here because of a children's book by Mora Fields titled "Peculiar Stories." I picked up the book for my daughter and I ended up reading it too. I immediately loved the stories and googled the author to look for other books. The author recently spoke on an open mike video conversation with Richard Miller and from there I came here.

I am a little bit eccentric, some may say "weird" and I sometimes come across as very irreverent because of my sense of humor. Sometimes I am misunderstood and other times I am just actually being irreverent, but I do not intend to hurt anybody's feelings of deeply offend.

Other than that it would be hard to write a good summary that would give you a sense of who I am so if you are curious it would be best just to observe or read my replies. I live in Oregon and have more of an analytical mind than a creative one. I haven't read too much around here but really enjoyed Richard's open mic videos. I thought they had a very comfortable mix of serious and not-so-serious attitude that I often feel is necessary to be in to "understand" or not feel restless with spiritual thoughts/meditation.

hope everyone is having a great week

Hello everyone,

I'm glad to come to this site. I discover it through videos published on Jac O'Keeffe web site (http://www.jackieokeeffe.com).

It's amazing that finally, everyone is a teacher to itself. Videos only point for the direction but it's an alone way inside us to follow to find out what we really are.

Warmest Regards.

Hello Never Not Here Community,

I have been following the website since the beginning of this year, but only recently got motivated to register.

After going through several videos from guests and teachers, my appreciation for this work and Richard has grown and I sincerely would like to give back to the community in whatever way I can.

I am interested in living joyfully and take inspiration from anyone who shares this intent. I have browsed through NeverNotHere's videos of Jeff Foster, Bentinho Massaro, Katie Davis, Zahir Khan, Sundance Burke, Gina Lake, Margot Ridler and Cory Bright. It simply amazes me to hear these outpourings for no cost (thanks again to NeverNotHere for keeping it free up till now :).

Get in touch with me if your interests jive.

Joy,
Karan

I found this site by following a link on facebook. Happy to be here with everyone. Looking forward to being a part of this website and forum. :D

Dear Richard,

I first heard you on one of John Sherman's podcast and later saw you on of his DVDs and then once I saw your Never Not Here talk with John Sherman I could relate to you better.

Since then I have watched about 30 videos, I'll tell these are so wonderful and each one seems to clearly knock off some of our predispositions and make us see/ live life in a better way!

Richard, it is exciting to know that you'll be in TVM, it will be great if you could publish a calendar of events (sort of) so that some of us in and around TVM can travel down to see you and the talks in person! I live in Bangalore, which is about 250 kms (5 hours drive).

I hope to see you, let's see how it would go ...

Regards,

Hello, everyone,

Now there's an interesting term: Every One. I'm from Holland, where it's cloudy and very windy at the moment. First of all I'm glad to be allowed on this site. I was almost afraid that my application wouldn't be accepted.

Okay, so how did I find this site? I read a book from Stephan Bodian called Meditation for Dummies, also used his iphone app for mindfulness. He peaked my interest so I went to his site where I saw several interesting things amongst which an interview. That interview made me curious about this website.

I am a seeker. At this very moment I am wondering if I am really seeking but I will elaborate on that later. My search began at a very early stage. When I was 4 I woke up from a bad dream and the waking up questioned my being awake at all. When I was about 10 I did an experiment while lying in bed. I pretended I was the bed plus me...then the room, the bed and me...so on until the stars. I was everything at the same time. Both these experiences made an impact upon me.
