Studying blogging

Posted on Monday, 30 August 2010 by Jim Again

So, I have started to study this thing called blogging. I did keep a blog for a couple years when I first started travelling after I sold the house. http://a-kundan.blogspot.com/ However, it got to be a lot of work. Part of it was so much writing for each entry and positioning the photos. So, I’m doing a bit of study and practice in this blog that almost no one knows about. Til now, this has been a place for me to write a few “phliosophical” posts. My resurrected interest is the result of my intended blog of my round the world tour next year. I have already created the blog. Titled “Kundan’s Bent Tour”. That’s “bent” as in recumbent bicycle. Or, maybe it’s as in the not straight and narrow. I also have planned, off further in the future, another blog as part of website that will be part of a pet interest of mine. It will be much more of a site for discussion and maybe collaboration.

Consciousness and Therapy

Posted on Saturday, 21 March 2009 by Jim Again

I have heard this kind of statement twice lately: “Sanyassins have been so busy ‘improving themselves’ that they have missed the point” or something similar. It’s funny that Osho promoted therapies and, yet, I clearly remember him talking about how refining one’s character is not going to bring you awareness. This is one of those connudrums of the masters. My own take on it is reflected in something that I remember Osho say during a discourse, “This is just to distract you while the real work happens”. To me, the therapy should be understood as something that you do while you continue your search for real knowledge. It keeps you out of trouble, maybe. In any case, it may make life easier for you til you understand the cosmic joke. Sure, many, if not most therapists do not understand that they are just shining the ego. That there is a level beyond it all that makes the therapy unneccessary. Til’ then…

A Particular Perspective of the Infinite

Posted on Saturday, 21 March 2009 by Jim Again

Hi Friends:

As this blog is called Rambling with Kundan, that’s what I am going to do. Here’s a basic one for ya:

Sitting in a meditative state; that is just watching and letting go and being aware and letting the thoughts do their thing. This often happens for me at three in the morning. A very still time. So, when this is happening it is so delicious, so fresh. Sure, I get caught by passing thoughts and have to come back to just being. What I want to talk of is that while experiencing consciousness, I realise that there are no borders to consciousness. So, if there are no borders, then, there is no ‘my consciousness’ or ‘your consciousness’; there is only consciousness.

So, what about this experiencer of consciousness. Well, I put it as being a point in consciousness or like a node. A particular perspective of the infinite, this experiencer.
