Vipassana is fine until it becomes a technique that has many stages and that takes time to develop. That can be okay for people for a while, but then you have to leave the technique behind.

Personally, I don't teach practices as such. The power of the teaching is sufficient without needing to go for any practice.

A teacher or teaching is not essential for spiritual awakening, but they save time.

When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.

Practice presence -- embrace the place where life happens.

The more you make your thoughts and beliefs into your identity, the more cut off you are from the spiritual dimension within yourself.

Facing facts is always empowering.
