A simple explanation to something that can often be confusing, so thank you. I try to meditate daily - but have been becoming lax. Thus I take up the challenge knowing the benefits and look forward to the next instalment. PS: Enjoying Awaken the Kitten Within. A big fan of HHC and mentioned the novel on my own Substack this week. Cheers.
I may have misunderstood but has this book been published? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I truly love your writing. I think I have all of your books but I can't seem to find this one.
Hi Martine, Thanks so much for your kind message. This book has not been published yet. I will be sharing it exclusively on Substack in the coming weeks and months. It's also with my agent and will probably make it out into the world in book form but not until next year at the soonest. The wheels of publishing turn very slowly!
I too am going to accept the challenge! I too suffer every summer with hives & would love them gone…..but, small steps to begin with. Chapter One enticing. Look forward to the next.
I liked it very much and look forward to the next installment. This sentence was an especially good reminder for me…” Our reactions are not arising from the phenemena themselves. They’re coming from the way that our karma is forcing to us to perceive those phenomena.” Thanks, David🙏🏽
At last, after several times hearing it over the past few years, I (?) think(?) I believe I've grasped the concept of dependent arising! Calloo callay! Listening to The Busy Persons Guide today on my drive back from the sunshine coast(sadly not to visit Chenrezig). And a paragraph in this piece confirms it. Wow! Mind blowing and so liberating. Will allow that to percolate a bit more. Just got to get this regular meditation bit occurring now. Thank you. It seems you've become my virtual teacher of sorts. 🙏 Very very grateful.
HI Roland, I think they are referring to the Heart Sutra mantra. The other side refers to an awakened state, instead of our typically confused state about how reality exists. I highly recommend the Dalai Lama's book on this called Essence of the Heart Sutra.

So happy to see this beautiful, clear explanation freely shared! Thank you.
Thank you Sarah, as always, for your generous support!
Looking forward to the next chapter! When can we expect it?
Next end - 7/8 April!

Excellent - thanks Sue! I'll be following up with some guided meditations soon.
I accept your challenge and will let you know how I get on
Wonderful, thanks Judith. I look forward to your feedback!

Yes, we all need constant reminding that an objective reality simply doesn't exist.
David, this is an exciting new pathway for you, and I am pleased to be able to follow along. ❤️
Thanks so much for your encouragement, Donna! I am very glad that you're coming along for the ride!
Excellent David. Thank you. Tom
Many thanks indeed Tom!
I’m taking you up on you challenge. See you in six weeks time.
Good for you, Tom! I look forward to hearing how you get on.
