Our personal atmospheric space is where acting takes place and comes alive through an expressive body, related feeling, and an attentive mind.

I spend much of my life in hope. It seems that every time I look, I’m hoping for something.

My search in life is strongly tied to these rather indescribable feelings of unknowing.

Valid teachings strongly recommend deep self-study, what Gurdjieff calls self-observation or self-remembering.

A teaching emerges between the demand and the response. The response is generous, a gift back.

We cannot approach reciprocal feeding without speaking of its close relationship to resplendent love.
