The last 'Post' I made on my Blog (Tracks in a Pathless Land) was on the 26th May, 2024 titled somewhat presciently as it turns out, “Towards a Consummation?”. Begun on the 14th of June, 2019, the Blog ran it's full race as an open challenge to the liars, obfuscators, and deniers of “Truth” encapsulated … Continue reading “Towards the One”: a Final Post

On Death and Dying 5: “Touching the Ephemerality of Life”
It’s Friday the 26th January and my “pen” has been restored to me from wherever it was that I lost it a few days ago now. It’s amazing how much I missed it! All searches had been fruitless except in making the “loss” ever more keenly felt! Why so attached to such an inanimate object … Continue reading On Death and Dying 5: “Touching the Ephemerality of Life”
Which Way is Up? : Words, Windows, Portals, and Doorways on the Path of Return
What’s in a word? Why does it still surprise me to find myself waking with a “word” resonating through me such that I must explore its origin and/or deeper meaning? Recall, “In the Beginning was the Word” from the [experience] “The Dream that changed my life” [Blogged 2018] and/or the “Lychegate” experience [I think also … Continue reading Which Way is Up? : Words, Windows, Portals, and Doorways on the Path of Return
Timelines, Songlines, and Other Dreamings:2
If one were to trace a “Timeline” or “Songline” to make coherent one’s life, what would it look like? * Recently I have been reflecting/meditating on specific events, often from dream experiences, but not always, which seem to demonstrate a central or, perhaps, centripetal process opening new possibilities, directions, whilst, at one and the same … Continue reading Timelines, Songlines, and Other Dreamings:2
On Death and Dying (and the bits in-between)
Dreams and Insights Last night another long dream sequence as the previous night. We are following a theme, unfolding like a text to be comprehended in terms of the ‘Path Home’. This one involved both ‘cleaning-up’ (one’s mess) prior to “leaving” [lots to do, not enough time or energy to do ‘it’ (all? – some?)]. … Continue reading On Death and Dying (and the bits in-between)
“Truth and Relativity: Explorations into Insight 3”
Truth needs no defence. It is always “Itself” in whatever ‘guise’ we may find it: Stillness in change, Change in stillness. It cannot be damaged. We need it. It does not need us, or not, at least, in the same fashion. Our activity in this world can [potentially at least - in so far as … Continue reading “Truth and Relativity: Explorations into Insight 3”
Lost and Found: On a Road to Somewhere
On Nostalgia – ‘A sickness unto death’ Where is the “Place,” the one that causes such deep longing for some lost “home” and why does one seek to return to it such that – once discerned – nothing less will satisfy the heart?’ I first became away, or rather felt this “longing” burst upon me … Continue reading Lost and Found: On a Road to Somewhere
The Devil is in the Details: On the Problem of Evil
Prefix: This is a deeply disturbing but equally rewarding topic and I found myself at times wishing not to have begun to interact with it. However, despite my misgivings, and the difficulties coming to grips with the subject, in the end, I found it to be worth the time taken because - after all - … Continue reading The Devil is in the Details: On the Problem of Evil
Spiritual Autobiography 16: Return to the Centre
Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people. This story may contain names of deceased people. * How brief is the time spent resting, with the endless miles clicking over oh so slowly in our now well-seasoned 4wheel-drive yellow Ute doggedly following the long ribbon of road that – at times – seemed to unspool interminably … Continue reading Spiritual Autobiography 16: Return to the Centre
Love is the Key and the Door – You Are the Walker
Philosophy is not wisdom, and wisdom is not philosophy, though both indicate a way in, a doorway if you will. Wisdom is walking through that door and keeping on walking. Whilst doorways are portals, not all are equal in merit or accessibility. Some are locked to us others swing open at the slightest touch. Not … Continue reading Love is the Key and the Door – You Are the Walker
