Why Beware of the Doug?
For years I ran a blog on ending suffering. Now I’m running a blog on discovering the truth about the one who appeared to be doing all that suffering. It’s pretty clear that guy is the problem – well, the belief in him being separate and alone. Ergo the whole ‘beware of the doug’ thing.’ In other words, the only way this works out is if / when Doug gets dumped for good.

A powerful experience? Absolutely. A temporary, perhaps even months-long reprieve from your suffering?[...]
Today a few words on the mysterious, spiritual guidance we receive when we most need it are actually open to it. Carl Jung labeled this phenomenon synchronicity, and though there is no scientific evidence for it, countless numbers of us from around the world swear by such moments. Call it woman's intuition, a gut instinct, the spidey sense, or just a plain-old coincidence, but all of these point to an intelligence that may show us the way or confirm we're[...]
Would you be willing to immerse yourself in a manmade cave without light for a day, a week, or longer, with the hope of accessing some mysterious and potentially life-changing aspect of your self? That's the idea behind 'dark retreats,' a modern approach to an ancient and advanced Buddhist practice during which participants spend extended stretches of time immersed in complete darkness. Deprived of light and the endless distractions that come with it (it should go without saying that smartphones[...]
