MY NATURE-INSIGHT BLOG
|
Although starting this blog as a personal diary recording development, it has now become more of a description
of my journey. On the way I make mistakes, and I try to go back to correct them; it is important to me that
you note the warnings. Please read the journey that is part of all our journeys. The blog is now archived.
I originaly termed it my Buddhist-Spirit blog because I oscillated between the two, now there is no oscillation
in Nature's Insights blog.

ACIM is A Course in Miracles. Many people told me to look at this, and I spent a while trying it. In the end I decided it is dangerous so if you insist on looking at what I said about the course please read the warning first. Back
Anatta is the doctrine of no-self, attachment creates self. Anatta enshrines detachment. Back
For a long period this last year I had been reading Ajaan Buddhadhasa, he has greatly influenced me. I would have to reread all the blogs to make sure I included all the times I referred to him but I have included some as themes. Back
This blog oscillates between Buddhism and spirituality, fundametall describing insights. If I am any religion I am Buddhist so everything is concerned with Buddhism. Those blogs more directly concerned with the meaning of Buddhism or Buddhist terminology I have themed "Buddhism".Back
How important is it to be actively involved, have engagement in life? Discussed. Back
Throughout I became concerned with a developmental model for human growth. This is also covered in my education blog Matriellez. Back .
Health was a common theme until eventually I devoted a blog to it - My Nature Health Blog. Throughout there are references to stress and emotion and the way they have affected me, until eventually I started macrobiotics.
Back .
As with Buddhism the purpose of this blog is insights. Where I have discussed insight itself I have themed it.Back .
Integrity, or sila in Pali, is essential to have control in life. Back .
Having been through the education mill and then being a teacher the power of intellect becomes noticeably important - way beyond its capability. Discussing this egotism has been common.Back .
As most of my engagement is through the internet, I have blogged about it several times. Back .
Although I have a health theme and a Nature Health blog, this is a specific macrobiotics theme.Back .
Without meditation there is no blog because there is no journey. Exaggeration, as Nature finds a way, but meditation is the simplest way. Where I have discussed meditation it is themed. Back .
Mindfulness, or Sati in Pali, is very important on the Path and is discussed often.Back .
UnderstandingNature is the key to this blog. It is synonymous with the Dhamma. Back .
Pirsig, as in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, was a seminal work for me. I referred to it often throughout my life, but on rereading itcand blogging m reading I determined that such intellect going astray was dangerous and I warned about it. Back
Understanding science or knowledge comes up often, usually with the intellect misdirecting it. Back
Thich Naht Hahn, known as Thay, impressed me a great deal. I saw him in Bangkok, and his thinking affected my blogging. Back .
Feelings and emotions, Vedana in Pali, have become stored as stress and blocks. This is really a subsection of health but I have themed it. Back
