Why Beware of the Doug?
I’m what is known as a spiritual seeker and this site is a running commentary on that journey. To me it’s the only path worth taking, all else is impermanent, illusory, and ultimately unsatisfying. As for the whole ‘beware’ thing? One important lesson I’ve learned along the way is that the belief in a Doug that exists separate and apart from the world around it is the core fallacy on which all other errors are erected. Meaning Doug itself is the problem.

Of all the practices we recommend, this is the one that matters most. In fact, your quest for the truth about yourself may begin - and end - with this meditation. The reason: meditation alone creates the space between these anxious, hyperactive minds of ours and the innate wisdom that lies deep within us[...]
