dude! they made a japanese autobiographical movieabout you! mind you the details have been messed with, but the premise is all you.

your blog interests me. "The rule of the universe is crystal clear to every single human being in every situation. The problem is we are very good at shouting it down with our thoughts and emotions." no shit.

I hope you are stlil reading your SG Blog.....

I think everything happens for a reason...... so here's my funny little journey to your blog.
I run across your run down of "The Secret". I have just recently watched that on DVD that someone lent me. Some of it interested me, some of it did not and I fell asleep for a good portion of it. So I read your run down and find the link for your book. It intrigues me and I pick it up at the book store today. I have been fringing Buddhism for awhile now, tried a little meditation, struggled, didn't get it. I have ADD and there are times when I have enough thoughts and ideas for 10 people let alone one. I have laid in bed some nights begging my mind to stop and yet on the other hand, it makes me who I am. I have experience what it is like not to have those thoughts... it's pretty hollow. It's the balance I crave.

Anyhoo, I have reached the chapters on zazen. I am a dancer and I have reached moments of extreme focus.... I'm not sure how else to describe it. The loss of body but the intense articulation of it. Nothing else matters but moving. I'm not thinking about what to do next, or how to do it, or anything really .... just moving and experiencing the feeling of it. I have a sense that I'm close to what maybe zazen is.... maybe it was right under my nose the whole time.?!
The perfection of posture..... the perfection of movement.....
they are same.

Anyway.....off to read some more.....

Hey there! I'd like to invite you to join SGLA. I know a lot of people in the group would be interested in the kinds of things you do, and it sounds like you may have interesting events to tell the group about.

What a nice place to find you! I wrote you a note many years ago (Li from Chicago) and you were kind enough to write back (you mentioned you lived in Roger's Park for a while). Hope you are well. When did you return to the states? Cheers!
