Remembering to Notice

    Feeling Good

    Jan Frazier April 6th, 2010 -->

    Most of the time, most of our lives, in one way or another what we’re trying to do is feel good, right?  Physically, emotionally, mentally . . .

    Freedom from Belief

    Jan Frazier March 25th, 2010 -->

    If you feel, in your own life now, that you are very much subject to all that gunky whatever-it-is-for-you (where you get distracted, you forget, you get caught up in the drama, or fear or desire), just realize that everybody who ever woke up used to be that way, in some way. ‘Cause that’s the human condition. . . .

    Ask Yourself: Why am I Not Awake?

    Jan Frazier March 16th, 2010 -->

    You may think that you have some sense of what is between you and waking up; that you know what needs to happen. And you may be very astute about your interior, about your mind, your ego, all that conditioning. . . .

    The Calamity

    Jan Frazier March 14th, 2010 -->

    U.G. Krishnamurti spoke of his enlightenment as calamitous, and this is confusing to someone who is wishing for enlightenment.  Who thinks — you get enlightened and all is easy after that.  Well, yes.  But then Continue Reading »»»

    A Fully Realized Human Life

    Jan Frazier March 7th, 2010 -->

    When people talk about why they want to wake up, they often say they want to stop suffering, or they might say it’s because they want to be constantly joyful or peaceful.  But what I want to look at is something past that.  It’s the thing that comes about when the ripening has taken place, well beyond the switch being thrown.  It’s what comes about after awakening.  Continue Reading »»»

    The New Adventure

    Jan Frazier February 13th, 2010 -->

    When a thing becomes suddenly clear, when some significant shift happens (which seems to happen all on its own), then the thing becomes really and dramatically obvious.  You can’t see why you didn’t always realize it.  You have left a building, and when you turn to look at it, it is gone.   Continue Reading »»»

    The Mind’s Not a Bad Guy

    Jan Frazier December 12th, 2009 -->

    Mischief-making seems to be inherent to the mind, but that’s because pretty much of the time it’s in cahoots with the ego.  Continue Reading »»»

    Not Getting in an Uproar

    Jan Frazier December 2nd, 2009 -->

    Think of a situation that causes you to react, that arouses some strong emotional response in you — something that makes you angry or scared, stressed or filled with righteous indignation.  Something that puts you in an uproar.  It is possible to have that thing happen and yet you don’t get in an uproar.  Continue Reading »»»

    Shipwreck

    Jan Frazier November 30th, 2009 -->

    Let yourself love.  Isn’t that what it is to be radically alive?  To be awake?  Not love somebody or something.  But everybody, anybody, anything.  Continue Reading »»»
