Important note: All the posts on this blog were written by Bob Harwood (AKA 'zendancer') on the forum spiritualteachers.proboards.com. I have merely reposted a collection of them in blog format for the convenience of seekers. Some very small mods were made on occasion to make posts readable outside of the forum setting they were made in.

Life (what is) is totally unpredictable.

Things can be thought to be fine one moment and thought to be disastrous the next, but it is all the manifestation of isness. In truth there is no "fine" or "disastrous;" there is just THIS manifesting however it manifests. Who we THINK we are is imaginary, so the imagined self can't do anything about anything. Who we REALLY are does what it does in response to whatever happens.

Staying present, psychologically, aligns the body/mind with "what is," and removes resistance. We do what needs to be done, and then we do the next thing that needs to be done. From an action-oriented present-moment-awareness state of being we see that everyone is doing the best s/he can, including the body/mind through which we manifest. This kind of seeing creates intimacy, understanding, and acceptance. We don't blame anyone else, and we don't blame ourself for anything. We see that there is an underlying logic and perfection in everything that happens. Seeing without judgment is the key.
