Choice as Cosmic Manifestation

In a world often bound by the chains of determinism, where every event is seen as a mere consequence of a prior one, the concept of choice emerges as a beacon of freedom, a testament to the transcendental nature of human consciousness. This perspective offers a radical, yet profound alternative: choices are not just personal expressions or random occurrences; they are, in essence, expressions of the universe itself.

The fabric of our universe is intricately woven with the threads of time, space, and matter. Yet, within this complex tapestry lies a deeper truth, one that transcends the apparent duality of cause and effect. In this view, every choice we make is not simply a product of past influences or future aspirations; it is an immediate and direct expression of the universe’s ever-unfolding narrative.


This notion brings us to the concept of the ‘eternal now.’ Unlike the linear progression of time as we perceive it, the eternal now posits a realm where past, present, and future coalesce into a singular, timeless existence. In this realm, every choice is an act of creation, a moment where the universe expresses itself through our consciousness. It is in these moments that we are not merely individuals making isolated decisions; we are the universe experiencing itself, exploring its infinite possibilities.

The implications of this perspective are both liberating and daunting. It suggests that our choices are far more significant than personal preferences or responses to external stimuli. They are cosmic in scale, contributing to the grand narrative of existence itself. It invites us to view our decisions not just as personal crossroads but as contributions to the ongoing creation of reality.


In conclusion, viewing choice as a cosmic manifestation offers a new dimension to our understanding of free will and determinism. It proposes that our choices are neither predestined nor random, but are integral parts of the universe’s continuous journey through time and existence. It’s an invitation to embrace the profound interconnectedness of all things and to recognize our role as the creator itself in the magnificent tapestry of life.

The Dance of the Cosmos

Understanding the Interconnectedness of Existence

In the grand tapestry of existence, every thread is intricately woven into a larger, more complex pattern. This pattern, a vibrant mosaic of life and energy, highlights the profound interconnectedness of all things in the universe. It is a concept that transcends mere physicality, inviting us to explore the deeper spiritual and metaphysical aspects of our existence.

At the heart of this interconnectedness is the idea that everything in the universe, from the smallest particle to the vastest galaxy, is an expression of divine creativity. This perspective offers a profound sense of unity and harmony, suggesting that every element of the cosmos, including ourselves, is part of a larger, purposeful whole.


The physical universe, in this view, is not a static entity but a dynamic and ever-changing phenomenon. It is characterized by a continual process of transformation, a cycle of dying and rebirthing that underlines the concept of eternal renewal. This cyclical nature of existence echoes in every aspect of our lives, reminding us that change and transformation are not only inevitable but also essential components of the cosmic dance.

In this cosmic scheme, each element plays a crucial role. Like individual notes in a grand symphony, every aspect of the universe contributes to the creation of a harmonious and balanced whole. This interconnectedness implies a deep responsibility: our actions, thoughts, and beliefs have far-reaching consequences, influencing not only our immediate environment but also the broader fabric of existence.


Understanding and embracing this interconnectedness can lead to a more conscious and intentional way of living. It encourages us to recognize the impact of our actions, to live in harmony with the natural world, and to cultivate a sense of compassion and empathy for all beings. It’s a call to see beyond the illusion of separation and to acknowledge our role in the ongoing creation and evolution of the universe.

In conclusion, the concept of interconnectedness in existence is not just a philosophical idea; it’s a call to action. It invites us to participate actively in the cosmic dance, to embrace change, and to contribute positively to the ongoing saga of the universe. By recognizing our interconnected nature, we can find a deeper sense of purpose, belonging, and unity.

The Ground of All Being

Discovering Our Universal Interconnectedness

In my teachings, I often delve into the profound concept of the interconnectedness of the universe, a principle I like to refer to as ‘The Ground of All Being’. This principle encapsulates the dynamic interaction between the microcosm and macrocosm, an endless dance of energy and consciousness that connects the smallest particle to the vastness of the cosmos.

One of the most fascinating aspects of this interconnectedness is the concept of kundalini awakening. In my view, this awakening extends far beyond the commonly known seven primary chakras. It encompasses countless other energy centres located within every atom and sub-atomic particle. This expansive view of kundalini awakening invites us to explore a broader and more intricate map of our energetic anatomy, one that connects us with the very fabric of the universe.



This concept not only enriches our perception of reality but also challenges us to broaden our understanding. It urges us to look beyond the boundaries of our current knowledge and to embrace a deeper, more holistic view of existence. In doing so, we uncover a profound truth: our oneness with the universe. This realization is more than an intellectual understanding; it is a living, breathing experience of unity and connectedness with all that is.

Through this exploration, we discover that the universe is not something separate from us. Instead, it is a reflection of our innermost being, a mirror showing us the depths of our nature. This understanding has the power to transform our perception of reality, leading us into a deeper relationship with ourselves and the world around us.

The Convergence of Nonduality and Humility

Walking the Cosmic Mile

When we speak of enlightenment and spiritual awakening, images of radiant beings, wise sages, and ethereal experiences come to mind. Yet, at the heart of these lofty ideals lies a profound simplicity: the understanding that we are all interconnected, and the ability to empathize deeply with every being we encounter.

Consider the enlightened being who, in a flash of realization, experiences the nondual nature of existence. In this state, the boundaries that separate ‘self’ from ‘other’ dissolve. There isn’t just a connection with all there is; there is the profound realization that one *is* everything. Every tree, every star, every laughing child, and every tear shed in solitude — all of it converges into this singular experience. One is no longer an individual peering out at the universe, but the universe itself looking in every conceivable direction.

Yet, juxtapose this with the experience of the humble Saint who, rather than merging with the universe, takes a deep dive into the souls of individuals. This Saint, in their profound spiritual journey, has walked in the shoes of every person they’ve met. They’ve felt the weight of their struggles, the joys of their triumphs, and the mundane moments in between. While the enlightened being sees the forest, the Saint sees every individual tree, every leaf, and every bird that takes flight from its branches.

While these two experiences may seem opposed, they are, in essence, two sides of the same coin. Both perspectives bring about a profound understanding of interconnectedness and unity. Where the enlightened being grasps the vastness of existence, the Saint recognizes the depth of individual experience. And in their unique ways, both lead to compassion, love, and a deeper connection with all of existence.

Perhaps, then, the journey is not about aspiring to one experience over the other, but in recognizing the value in both. For in the vastness of the universe, there is room for both the cosmic dance of everything and the intimate waltz of individual souls.

The Never-Ending Marathon of Spirituality

Many compare life to a race. We’re told to run fast, be the first, and not fall behind. But what if life, particularly the spiritual journey, isn’t about finishing first or even finishing at all? What if it’s a marathon that never ends, where every finish line is simply a starting point for another, deeper quest?

Walking the spiritual path can feel like running a marathon that goes on infinitely. Just when you think you’ve attained enlightenment or reached a higher state of consciousness, another level unfolds. This isn’t to say progress isn’t made, but rather that true spiritual growth is an ever-evolving, never-ending process.

In traditional races, runners have a clear goal: to reach the end as swiftly as possible. But on the spiritual path, the destination is less defined. One might even argue there is no destination. Instead, it’s a continual journey of self-discovery, of understanding, of peeling back layers to find the core of one’s true self.

The beauty of this endless marathon is not in reaching a finish line but in the journey itself. Every step, every challenge, and every revelation is an opportunity for growth and transformation. The hurdles faced along the way aren’t obstacles but lessons, guiding us towards deeper understanding.

In embracing this never-ending journey, we come to see that it’s not about “finishing” or “winning.” It’s about embracing the unknown, learning, evolving, and most importantly, enjoying every step. After all, isn’t the joy of running not in the end but in the very act itself?

When we shift our perspective from a race with an endpoint to a journey without one, we open ourselves to infinite possibilities and depths of understanding. It’s a liberating realization that our spiritual evolution is limitless, bound only by our willingness to keep moving forward.

In conclusion, while the marathon of spirituality may not have a finish line in the traditional sense, it offers something far more valuable: the promise of endless growth, self-discovery, and a deeper connection to the universe and ourselves. So, lace up your spiritual sneakers and embrace the never-ending journey. Because in this marathon, the real prize is the journey itself.

The Perfect Symphony of the Universe

There’s a profound beauty in pondering the vastness of the universe and all that it encompasses. The stars, the galaxies, the black holes, the planets, and everything in between – all orchestrated in an unfathomable cosmic dance. Closer to home, even the simple rustling of leaves or the intricate patterns of relationships and human behaviours are a part of this grand tapestry. But what if every single occurrence, no matter how significant or inconsequential it seems, is exactly as it should be?

Imagine a world where every event, every interaction, every impulse, and every action has its place and purpose. No occurrence is out of place; everything fits. There is a certain harmony, an intrinsic order in this idea. Even the most chaotic and seemingly random events play their part in this universal symphony.

It’s easy to look at experiences that cause us pain or challenge our perceptions and label them as ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’. However, by doing so, are we not resisting the natural flow of the universe? If we embrace the belief that everything is as it should be, we free ourselves from the constraints of judgment, regret, and resistance. Instead, we can find peace in acceptance, growth in challenges, and a deeper understanding of the intricate balance of life.

This perspective also brings forth a realization about our role in this vast cosmos. We are not mere spectators; we too are playing our part perfectly. Whether we’re undergoing personal growth, facing challenges, or simply experiencing the highs and lows of life, each of our actions and decisions is a note in the universal song.

It’s not about labelling events as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but rather seeing the bigger picture. Understanding that pain might lead to growth, challenges can result in strength, and every experience is a lesson in disguise. It’s about trusting that the universe, with its boundless wisdom, is unfolding exactly as it should, with every piece, no matter how big or small, contributing to its magnificent design.

In closing, consider this: If everything in the universe is as it should be, then every moment is an opportunity. An opportunity to learn, to grow, to love, and to embrace the perfect imperfections of this cosmic journey.

The Unity of Being

When Heads, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes Merge into Oneness

The ancient wisdom embedded in children’s songs and games can sometimes surface in the most unexpected of philosophical realms. Take, for instance, the playful melody “Heads, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.” When investigated through the lens of Nondual philosophy, it becomes a metaphor for a journey toward universal oneness and interconnectedness.

In Nondualism, the self and the universe are not two separate entities, but rather manifestations of a single, unifying reality. The concept of separateness – the idea that heads, shoulders, knees, and toes are distinct parts – is seen as a mere illusion, a construct of our perceptive capabilities. When we immerse ourselves in the quintessential essence that underlies all beings and things, we begin to perceive that beneath the superficial distinctiveness and multiplicity, there is a fundamental oneness.

Just as the child, in the innocence of play, connects each body part in a joyful, seamless movement without pondering the philosophical depth intertwined, perhaps we too, in our adult complexity, can rediscover that inherent interconnectedness. Our heads, representing our thoughts and intellect; our shoulders, symbolizing our burdens and responsibilities; our knees, embodying our flexibility and humility; and our toes, reflecting our foundation and stability, though seemingly separate, all derive from and exist within the same unified source.

In this unity, the dissimilarities and boundaries that appear to separate us from others, from the world, and the divine, dissolve into a boundless ocean of oneness. Our heads, shoulders, knees, and toes, then, become not isolated components, but rather expressions of the singular reality, dancing together in a harmonious rhythm of existence.

The reconciliation of our physical and non-physical aspects, the visible and the invisible, and the manifold and the one, invites us to explore the possibility that we are not merely beings traversing through the world, but the world itself. As we navigate through the multifaceted reality of life, can we embrace the Nondual perspective, perceiving not separateness, but unity in the myriad forms and experiences?

So, we may joyously sing, not just with nostalgia but with profound insight into our existence: “Heads, shoulders, knees, and toes.” In the simplicity of these words, let’s find a reminder that beneath the diversity and complexity of our being, we are all interconnected, interwoven parts of the same undivided reality.

The depth of such unity nudges us to perceive ourselves and the world around us with eyes that see beyond the physical and the apparent, inviting us into a holistic existence where every head, shoulder, knee, and toe sings in unison with our oneness.

Yinnergy and the Wellspring of Creativity

A Journey into the Essence of Creative Energy

In the boundless realm of spiritual exploration, there are moments that not only illuminate our understanding but also become catalysts for creation and expression. During my conversation with Steve James on Guru Viking, I shared insights into the creation of my Yinnergy audio meditation program, a project deeply intertwined with my spiritual experiences and profound realizations.

Yinnergy was not merely a project; it was a manifestation of a particularly profound spiritual experience where I realized that we are not just a conduit for creativity but creativity itself. This realization was not an intellectual understanding but a deep, experiential knowing that permeated every fibre of my being, altering my perspective and subsequently, my work.

In that infinite space where I became synonymous with creativity, I understood that creativity is not merely an act or a process but an intrinsic aspect of our being. It is a boundless, ever-present energy that flows through us, inviting us to co-create with the universe, to bring forth expressions that are both deeply personal and universally resonant.

The creation of Yinnergy was a journey into harnessing this boundless creative energy, which I refer to as “Yinnergy” – a synergy of Yin energy, that is receptive, intuitive, and deeply connected with the universal flow. It was a process of allowing the insights and experiences from my spiritual journey to flow through me, to become sounds, and silences that could facilitate a similar space for others to explore, experience, and realize.

This realization that we are creativity itself has had a significant impact on my perspective and work. It has dissolved the boundaries between the creator and the creation, between the act of creating and the created. It has allowed me to approach my work, not as something I do but as an expression of my being, an effortless flow that emerges from the wellspring of creativity within.

You Are the Universe

The Singularity of Existence

When we look into a mirror, we see a reflection of our physical form. This body, which seems so familiar, is the embodiment of a vast cosmic journey that spans billions of years. The carbon in our cells, the iron in our blood, every particle has been forged in the crucible of stars. We are, quite literally, stardust.

However, the story does not end with mere physicality. Our consciousness, the unique essence that allows us to perceive, reason, and feel, is an integral part of this cosmic tapestry. It’s not a stretch to say that we are the universe experiencing itself.

But why does it seem like we are separate entities? When we look around, we see myriad forms of life, each one seemingly unique. This individuality is a beautiful illusion crafted by the universe. We are like waves in an ocean – while each wave appears distinct, they are all made of the same water, and ultimately, they are the ocean itself.

This realization brings with it profound implications. Every choice we make, and every action we undertake, is not just a result of individual will but the will of the universe. This is not to say that personal agency is an illusion, but rather, it operates in harmony with the cosmic dance of existence.

Consider this: If we truly understand that the person across from us is another version of ourselves, how would that change the way we interact with them? Hatred, jealousy, and malice would be replaced by understanding, compassion, and love.

When we truly understand that the entire universe is within us, and we are the universe, it shifts our perspective. We move from a place of separateness to one of unity. From competition to collaboration. From individualism to universalism.

So the next time you look into a mirror, see more than just your reflection. Recognize the entire cosmos staring back at you. Embrace the wonder of knowing that you are not just a speck in the universe; you ARE the universe.

The Ground of All Being

The Universe Expressing Itself as Us

The ground of all being is an enthralling concept that presents a holistic perspective on existence. It implies that the very essence of reality, the foundational principle upon which all things stand, is a singular, pervasive entity. It is like a canvas upon which the entire universe is painted, a silent symphony playing every note of existence. And if we dig deeper, the mesmerizing idea emerges: this entity expresses itself through every form and facet of the universe.

Now, consider our galaxy, our planet, and finally, us. Amidst the vast expanse of stars, black holes, and nebulae, here we are — a small species on a tiny planet. But what if we’re not just passive inhabitants? What if we’re the universe experiencing itself, attempting to understand its nature?

Every human being, with their myriad of talents, skills, ideas, and interests, is a unique representation of the universe. Each song we sing, each painting we create, and every scientific theory we develop, is the universe expressing a fragment of its infinite complexity. Our personalities, whether introverted or extroverted, logical or emotional, are simply different melodies in the grand cosmic orchestra.

If one subscribes to this perspective, it brings forth profound implications. Firstly, it fosters a deep sense of interconnectedness. When we grasp that we are not isolated entities but interwoven threads in the cosmic tapestry, our interactions with others take on a new depth. It also emphasizes the importance of self-expression. By understanding and expressing our unique talents and traits, we allow the universe to manifest itself in new and beautiful ways.

In conclusion, by viewing ourselves as expressions of the ground of all being, we can cultivate a deeper sense of purpose and interconnectedness. It’s a reminder that we’re not just in the universe, but the universe is in us, experiencing and exploring through every thought, action, and emotion.
