Last week I received the DVD of the experiments film back from the printers, so that is now available - and of course you can also view the whole film on
Youtube. I've had good feedback. So, step by step, making this simple, beautiful truth as widely available as possible.
Last weekend I experimented reading and recording Douglas Harding's book On Having No Head. It was a lot more work that I had imagined! I still have more editing to do. Then I'll see if it is good enough to turn into a 'talking book'. But it was a great experience. It's a while since I've read it, but it's a very good book. It was written in two parts. The first part was the original book, written in about 1960. It describes first Seeing, and then 'making sense of the seeing'. Integrating the experience with our understanding of life. And then there's a section on Seeing and Zen - Zen Buddhism was the first place Douglas discovered where people were really talking in a similar language - of headlessness. The second part of the book was written twenty years later, after much experience sharing Seeing, and of living it. He sets out his view of a 'path', of the stages of the Way. It is a very well considered perspective. And the book, both parts, are written with such passion. It's a great book.
Later today I'm giving a presentation to a school - there will be about 400 students there.

Last month I gave workshops in Israel and the Czech Republic. In Israel we had a one day workshop with about 30 people, (6/4/10) and then a morning workshop that came out of that (9/4/10), with about a dozen people. And then an even shorter workshop at a conference in Tel Aviv with six people (10/4/10). It was marvellous, as usual, to share this Vision with new friends. How wonderful it is to see people valuing This. (We also had a holiday - here's
a film of our holiday!) In the Czech Republic I gave a two-day workshop in Prague with about 20 people. (24-25/4.10.) Again, people so receptive and warm to this message. A real delight to be doing this work!
Over the last eight months or so I've been working on a video presentation of this work, using the camera to illustrate the experiments from a first person point of view, and then exploring some of the implications and applications of what we find. I've just finished it, and sent it off to the printers, so I'm hoping to make the DVD available in about a week. I'll also put it on Youtube so that it is as widely available as possible.
