By hunter reynolds, on December 31st, 2011 WHAT IF A ROADMAP TO AWAKENING was built into the very fabric of the cosmos? What if a pathway to the Buddhist middle path – the ego-dissolving center between mind’s wildly swinging extremes – was laid out for us in the pattern of the planets? This is the essential, but too often hidden, insight of more>
By hunter reynolds, on December 1st, 2011 WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING “motorist” metaphors do you find more appealing:
1) Driving merrily along, lost in the buoyant beat of some smooth jazz station– oblivious to your toxic wake and the incalculable plant, animal and human sacrifice that allows you to fly across eroding rock trails made bump-less every night at 3:00 AM by more>
By hunter reynolds, on October 29th, 2011 THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS to justifiably protest against. But what, I ask myself, is the most fundamental, cross-cultural oppression — the “meme,” if you will — that gave rise to this rant against the great vampire squid called Corporatocracy? My guess: it has something to do with flawed community. Thich Nhat Hanh once more>
By hunter reynolds, on October 29th, 2011 A NEW ANARCHIST MOVEMENT is forming. The crimes they push against are so unspeakable, so urgent, that the cleverest, most media-grabbing protest sign would only defile and spit upon their cause. Impossible to co-opt and more frightening than the Black Bloc, these protesters do something far worse than destroy physical property; they deface the more>
By hunter reynolds, on October 2nd, 2011 AS FICTION WRITERS KNOW, in Western literature there are only four possible stories: 1- human vs. human; 2- human vs. nature; 3- human vs. self; 4- human vs. God; and they all move from conflict to climax to fleeting integration. In short, all stories are war stories.
But what about “human awakens as more>
By hunter reynolds, on October 2nd, 2011 SCROLL DOWN TO YOUR SUN, MOON AND RISING SIGNS. After you read each section, I invite you to recite the Prayer for Liberation that follows.
1. AUTOMATED ARIES
Attachment: Sovereignty The automated Aries part of us is addicted to perceiving, evoking and overcoming resistance as a means of propping up an unnaturally sovereign, hard-edged more>
By hunter reynolds, on May 5th, 2011 ARE YOU existentially brave? Are you willing to honestly feel into this sense that you are a separate person attempting to bridge a persistent, interpersonal gap? Does this separation-affirming worldview give rise to inner richness, ease and overflowing presence? Can you honestly say you are attracted to living in a psychologically chopped-up world and more>
By hunter reynolds, on May 5th, 2011 ASTROLOGY GETS a bad rap in meditative, nondual circles because it seems to focus on our differences and make personality — the ego’s seductive evidence of separation — even more solid and substantial. Good for those who want to manipulate and/or psychoanalyze the illusion, not for those who want to wake up from it. But more>
By hunter reynolds, on January 8th, 2011 OKAY, ONE YEAR UNTIL 2012. As the astro-predictions fly, remember this:
1) “We have to believe in free will. We have no choice.” -Isaac Bashevis Singer
2) All twelve signs are flashing neon inside you.
Actionable insights are more likely to come from a personal reading. In light of this, I encourage you more>
By hunter reynolds, on January 8th, 2011 ADMIT IT: YOU’RE A SLAVE. Perpetually sucked into safely scripted behavior, roles and “signs” downloaded from the collective unconscious, you strive not to be shot through with the dissolving light of pure awareness, but to be impressively opaque and authentically self-expressed (a.k.a. true to your miserably secure stories about yourself). Even in the throes more>
By hunter reynolds, on December 2nd, 2010 IMAGINE GOSSIPING PASSIONATELY about the color yellow, making a pass at orange or displaying a spectacular indifference towards crimson. It would be crazy, insane. The colors of things are, after all, only a laminate—too delightfully ephemeral to take personally. Yet, it is just this kind of rainbow reactivity that taunts and haunts us every more>
