Sinking Into Beingness and the Emptiness of Form
Hundiéndose en el Ser y la Vacuidad de la Forma
A guided meditation on direct experience without memory, followed by in-depth dialogues exploring the relationship between form and emptiness, the nature of objects in consciousness, and the distinction between mind-knowing and being-knowing. The teacher draws on Hindu and Buddhist frameworks—Nama Rupa, Satchitananda, sunyata, neti neti—to point toward a reality that is both full and empty, always present yet veiled by conceptual interpretation.

What Is Always Here
A reflection on trusting the resonance we already carry, and the difficult but worthwhile process of awakening to a peace that is closer than we imagine.
dialogue
The Ring and the Gold
A student describes encountering resistance when trying to understand the emptiness of objects and the distinction between the knowing of beingness and the knowing of the mind. The teacher addresses this resistance directly, pointing to what lies beneath it.
