Time to refresh my #introduction as it's been a while since the first one!

See profile for some basics. These days I'm unemployed but gardening a bit, recovering from 37 years of industrial burnout, and surviving 6-7 years of bladder cancer.

Meeting that with all the wisdom I can find on #anatta, #nonduality, #nonself, #dzogchen, #bodhicitta, #bodhisattva, #buddhism :)

Used to be an #electronics #design #engineer and loved it.

We're better off together. Question those who would divide us.

In #HadakaShizenyoku, removing all clothing & practicing #Naked symbolises shedding material attachments & ego, facilitating a deeper connection with my true being & the universe.

#HadakaShizenyoku removes external #social markers that unconsciously shape behaviour. Clothing often signifies status, profession, wealth, fashion, gender expectation, or cultural identity. Practising without it reduces layers of comparison & psychological performance. Attention shifts away from #social presentation & back toward direct embodied existence itself. This reflects the broader #Mukyōhō emphasis on #NonDuality, #equality, immediacy, & direct contact with #reality. (9/9)

THE HERETIC

A kind of loneliness comes from being misunderstood by your family. My mother wants me to do Sandhya Vandanam. Chant the Gayatri Mantra. Face east. Fold my hands the right way. She wants a performance she can witness and take credit for. I understand this. I refuse to comply. I am too tired and too old for rebellion. I call it self-preservation, a refusal to hollow out what little interior life I have managed to build by filling it with someone else's beliefs. They call me a heretic.. a […]

This is #NonDuality. Fixed categories are often provisional. Human experience is fluid. Identities shift. Desires shift. relationships shift. Bodies shift. Clinging to rigid definitions often produces conflict. #Buddhism asks a simpler question: does this lead to harm or to reduced suffering? That is the practical concern. (40/54)

This #insight connects deeply with #Naturism. In #Mukyōhō #Naturism is not separate from #Buddhism. It can be a lived expression of #NonDuality, #equality, & simplicity. When clothing as #social armour falls away, many artificial distinctions soften. Status symbols disappear. Fashion hierarchies disappear. The #body returns to what it has always been: #natural, varied, ordinary. (17/54)

For beginners, #NonDuality can sound abstract, but it is practical. Consider the #body. #Society teaches shame, comparison, hierarchy, & judgement. One #body is praised, another mocked. One age is idealised, another hidden. Yet in direct experience, the #body is simply the #body: breathing, sweating, ageing, healing, moving. #Shame is learned, not inherent. (16/54)

This is why #NonDuality matters. #NonDuality means not dividing #reality into rigid opposites. We habitually separate: good/bad, sacred/profane, pure/impure, mine/yours, success/failure. These divisions help with language, but they can also create delusion. #Reality is not neatly split. The boundaries are often conceptual. Day becomes night gradually. Childhood becomes adulthood gradually. Life becomes death gradually. Nothing stands isolated. (15/54)
