Inner Strength DevelopmentIdentifies the role of effort or trying
in spiritual development. (2006). "Liberation as Radical Gratitude." Identifies radical gratitude — the
awareness that even our most personal activities are given us — as the
door to liberation. (2004). "Letting Go in Everyday Life." Explains the process of letting go and
how it can transform our everyday lives. A useful, down-to-earth guide to
mindfulness meditation. Although explicitly directed to scientifically
oriented readers, it is appropriate for a general audience as well. (2000).
"What We Learn in the Dark". Realization.org (online
magazine), May 21. Explains how to make use of insomnia to
develop the skill of letting go, which is key to allowing enlightenment
(soma) to emerge. Explains how to extend this skill to ordinary waking hours. Provides a clear and useful simulation
model of Buddhist Middle Path Analysis (MPA).
Applies the model to Albert Ellis' Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET), drawing
helpful distinctions between MPA and Western
therapeutic goals and methods. I raise questions for Fenner
as to how MPA applies to daily living. (1999).
"The Inner Rhythm of Enlightened Activism." Explains how enlightenment is possible in
daily life. A more brief and informal approach than Feeling
and Time. Meditation on the mysterious origin of
our thoughts. |
