What prevents us from being present in our lives? What ideas, concepts, tools can we use as ”crutches” to help us walk more deeply in each moment?

This is my attempt to help people with being human. I try to avoid the issues people fight about, the surface conflicts, like who has the right opinion about this or that. Instead, I ask: what are the conditions that make it difficult for all of us to be human? How can we address them?

What are the ten crutches?

  • There is no such thing as “the past.”
  • There is no such thing as “the future.”
  • All “things” (and “events”) are the same.
  • All “things” (and “events”) are different.
  • You will never find “it” outside of you.
  • You will never find “it” inside of you.
  • You are one with everything evil.
  • You are one with everything good.
  • You will never really know.
  • Your senses are the gates to the present moment.

    These aren't really "things:" they are more like conditions we find ourselves in, or perhaps polarities we must manage.

  • E13: The Mistake of Directly Cultivating Patience

    E13: The Mistake of Directly Cultivating Patience
    Dec 8 2025

    Apparently, it's quite easy as a human to feel impatient. Many impatient people, in order to counter this tendency, try to cultivate patience. I used to do this all the time.

    I now regard this as a mistake. In this episode, I present how I currently approach the situation.

  • E12: Aspiration Precautions

    E12: Aspiration Precautions
    Dec 1 2025

    I originally heard the phrase "aspiration precautions" during my nursing career. In that context, aspiration is swallowing food down the wrong tube; it can go inadvertently into the lungs. A nurse teaches aspiration precautions to help caretakers and family members avoid this difficulty for a patient or loved one.

    Meanwhile: we all have hopes and dreams. When it comes to the "spiritual" realm, I often find myself filled with aspirations. My aspiration is to become enlightened? I found some precautions were called for.
