At the coal face

So far on this blog, I have not shared details about my “problems.”

It occurs to me that you, the reader, may regard me as a lady of leisure who is tinkering with these concepts of Non-duality.

I have thought that it might give me more credibility if I told you the issues I was wrestling with.

The challenge with that is that my family members value confidentiality more than I do. In order to give you a sense of what I’m “up against,” I’d have to tell you their stories too. From what I know of them, I believe they would feel hurt and betrayed if I did that.

Suffice it to say, in my immediate family we’re dealing with cancer, mental illness, and serious financial challenges that seem to permeate every aspect of our lives.

Perhaps this is enough information for you to get a sense that I am an ordinary person who experiences what in the “normal world” are considered to be “difficulties,” just like most people.

To me, my exploration of Non-duality feels very practical indeed. It is not merely a theoretical exercise.
