Ted Seymour - Explorations of TruthJust a quick note to say that I am going into a retreat for the next few days so I won’t be posting anything. Early meditation, yoga, guided self-inquiry, rest, mindful walking, singing of Bhajans at sunset, etc. (FYI for any of you who think you can’t afford India, the suggested donation for the retreat […]
Quick magical story which happened last night. I had been hanging out with some friends I’ve made here. We separated so they could head off to the Manna Cafe and I could send off an email and update an image on my last posting. When I finished and was walking back to the Manna Cafe […]
