Fertile Ground
Welcome to Mesa Farm's Fertile Ground. A virtual garden enriched with nutrient dense food for the Soul. Food that is vital to the growth of insights into non-dual understanding.
In the words of the Moody Blues, “You gotta make the journey out and in.” My journey ‘out’ has been nothing less than sensational. My inward journey began forty-seven years ago when the emptiness I was experiencing caused me to begin the journey ‘in’. Isn’t life interesting? Oh, the stories. But we don’t have time for that now. Perhaps our paths will physically cross one day, but until then, I would like to share with you some of my experiences and the insights these experiences have triggered.
On the outside, I have been realizing a dream I had long ago of building a sustainable farm. On the inside, I have been searching for the answer to two questions that rattle around in my head. “There must be more to this experience!” and “Who or what am I?”
Many individuals are more qualified to address these deep and essential questions. I express great gratitude to those individuals that have been involved in my internal life changing experiences. Thanks to my dear friend Brent, who saw my deep need and desire to know and had the patience to sit with me and set me on my path. And then, Thane Walker for his personal influence. Then there are many individuals who have formed blocks of words that express the profound understanding they have gained as a result of their inward journey. Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Jean Klein, Rupert Spira, Eckhart Tolle, Jesus, Lao Tzu and Siddhartha and so many others.
At Mesa Farm, we believe that our collective survival hinges on our ability to practice the art of non-dual awareness. This practice will reveal our true nature, showing us that we have always possessed everything needed to be happy, healthy beings. Non-dual awareness begins with the individual and ripples through the collective.
Our intention is to cultivate individual awareness of non-duality. Here, you’ll find a space to explore teachings from those who have recognized non-duality as reality. Together, we can contemplate the wisdom of ancient traditions and modern science, and engage in practices that harmonize mind, body, and spirit.
It’s important to note that enlightenment, awareness, and consciousness are not states to attain—they are already within us. We are expressions of non-dual consciousness and awareness; we simply need to recognize it.
Words can never fully capture the depth and beauty of our Soul, but they serve to point us in the direction we need to travel. I have had the great fortune to have stumbled onto the paths of so many who have made the soulful journey. And I have worked to implement their teachings into my life. I really have nothing new to offer, only the insights born in the experiences of life. I offer these insights from my personal journey in the hope that they serve the evolution and revolution of human consciousness.
