The Tao of the Free

I've started collecting/crafting short musings to capture the bits/pieces of enlightenment that I've been so lucky to glimpse during this time. 

They'll likely form the base of a book on Free Living or poetry (OR THIS BLOG) that I'll write in full when I'm out;

Pls read on / share and I hope they bring as much insight and joy as they have brought me!


"He who thinks himself free is trapped,  

He who knows himself trapped is free."   


"To lose oneself in laughter most deep,  

one awakens from Life's deep sleep" 


"That which is infinite  

has roots in the heart,  

branches in the mind  

and flowers in the spirit. 

It's abundance 

makes it free and priceless. 

It's splendor  

is freedom itself"   


"The trapped mindlessly trap; 

the freed mindfully free"   


"Free Living is a direction, 

not a destination.  

To find it one must lose,  

To walk it one must let loose" 


"There is definition in nondefinition,  

meaning in nonmeaning. 

Squint and you shall see."


“Wish freedom upon others

 and freedom comes your way"   


"The bound know not while the freed unknot"   


"The only effort required to be free is not effort at all"   


"Love unbound, uncosted is Free Love. 

Life unbound, uncosted is Free Living 

They give and do not want,  

they uplift and so not deplete." 


More to come!

Freedom Tastes Like Tempeh

New lease on life - Check  Scruffy cat at foot of bed - Check  Snoozing lover gently snoring - Check   What more could someone ask for?  Hello World, I have shed some of your shackles and I would love to keep them off, maybe helping others while I continue to travel along the road towards a free life full of infinite love, expanded consciousness and the wisdom of the ages.  Thank you for spending your time and mind on this humble platform of mine.   DW <3 #firstpost #hello #goals

Ozone

Dedicated to Nick and Rus, loves of my life. Ozone  by dwayneyawned Our paths were always meant  to cross,  Though we flit  through  friends,  time and space,   Though we face this temporary loss.   Our paths were always meant  to join    Though we weave  through  fate, lust and place,   Though our lives dance  on the edge of a coin.   Our paths were always  meant  to twine,     Not once nor twice  but thrice in time.   For now, for ever,  in stanzas, in rhyme.     Around each other  in tightening orbits,   We gravitate, we rotate, we oscillate.    Dancing in love we sync  While  Deeper in love we sink.   Through the pull   of ominous forces we'll hurtle  Separation, incarceration,   compartmentalization.  Though in the moment,   all might seem unstable   At the ends of time to realise   we were always able. #throuple #polyamory #poem

Spiritual Engineering

As an engineer, I’ve been trained to apply the scientific methods of seeking the truth, continuous optimization and bringing improvement to mechanical and chemical systems.  Its easy to extrapolate this to the more visible and visceral elements of life and living - work, friendship, fitness, etc.  It is only of late that I realize the extreme benefit of consciously bringing this strategy to the realms of LOVE, WISDOM and SPIRITUALITY - also complex systems that require a deeper understanding, yet CAN BE UNDERSTOOD and EXPERIENCED and OPTIMISED.  Whoever said that a purpose-filled life, a love that defies the ages and a structured plan for spiritual growth could not be engineered??  Some basic principles:  1) Find commonalities, patterns, reusable equations / causations and correlations.  2) Test hypotheses and theories - Does it work? Are things optimized?  3) Never be afraid to discard failures.  4) Replicate successes. Automate successful practices.  5) Seek feedback continuously, se
