Venice Beach, Florida, June 15, 2010
An entire era of my personal exploration has now come to an end, and I am therefore soon going to close down this site and move on to something new
Frankly, I got really tired of people expecting Free-Beingness to be some kind of "spiritual" ideal. I got many inquiries asking if I could help in getting rid of individuality, or opening the chakras or transcending the world, or other such utter nonsense. I am really tired of all this, and don't want any more of it.
I suppose it was partly my own fault because I myself used a lot of similar language, and, in fact, went through a lot of the "spiritual" illusions that so turn me off now. I came to realize the error of my ways, and have purged the language I use. For instance, I no longer use "Pure Awareness," which many mystical assholes like me used to use as a substitute for the childish imaginary friend that people call "God." I now use Silence, Emptiness And Stillness (SEAS), which is an actual experience rooted in bodily physiology, not in some vague metaphysics or mysticism.
It has taken a long time for me to grow up, and grow out of my own mysticism and stupid beliefs. But now I have crossed a threshold and hope to be able to help others who are ready to cross it too. Readiness means having the maturity to leave all childish magical thinking behind.
The next phase of this exploration will be firmly rooted in bodily physiology, direct experiencing in the body, and in self exploration. It will be firmly placed in the tradition of Focusing, deriving from and going beyond both schools of Focusing, i.e. Ilan Shalif's General Sensate Focusing and Eugene Gendlin's Experiential Focusing. Both of these are totally reality based, and lead to good places in actual living. I will be introducing what I call Dynamic Focusing, which I believe is a significant step beyond both of these, but building on their firm foundations.
Dynamic Focusing leads to Spontaneous Flow Living, which is not some airy ideal (like some people seemed to expect from Free-Beingness) but an actual new way of living, experiencing and doing. It is, in Focusing language, a very large "felt shift" to an entirely new way of being. It is the BIG Shift!
There are specific, reality based, experiential, ways to get to that big shift into Spontaneous Flow Living. They are, in general:
1. Getting rooted in SEAS and SEAS Radiance, through an inward movement and sensing.
2. "Updating" the "self program" (the bodily ego self and all its characters, roles and parts), through a deep dynamic repatterning practice that I call "The Inner Actor's Studio."
3. Coaching for bringing all this into real life in a free-form, creative, spontaneous way. Coaching like you've never seen before - not based on goals, plans, rehearsing or anything like that - but bringing you into full-time spontaneous flow in your whole life.
These three together have a dynamic synergy that spontaneously brings about the big felt shift into Spontaneous Flow Living.
The New, Higher Level Of Life
Dynamic Focusing brings us to a new developmental level that is a higher integration which includes all previous levels.
The levels that have been recognized so far are:
1. Sensory-Motor (pure flow of bodily sensation)
2. Pre-operational (differentiates self from world)
3. Concrete Operations (handles physical objects)
4. Formal Operations (handles mental objects)
A further developmental level results from the "big shift" brought about by Dynamic Focusing. I am calling this:
5. Spontaneous Flow (higher integration of all previous levels)
It has three main characteristics:
a. Your whole bodyself exists full-time in SEAS and its dynamic radiance.
b. All your experiences and actions spontaneously arise into form in and from your bodyself in SEAS, in a continuous flow of pure bodily feeling which is the same as SEAS radiance.
c. The skills, experiences and abilities that you gained on the first four levels happen effortlessly, and are more fully and freely available to you than they were on those levels - making for genius-level or "savant" abilities.
I project that I will have a training program for this ready on or around Sept. 20, 2010, and will provide this in guidance and coaching programs through a new website (or maybe more than one site.)
Stay tuned for more on this.
Everything else on this and my other sites has to be considered a research project until I come out with the new program mentioned above.

Free-Spirit Liberation
It is breakout time. No more quiet Bliss Of Peace. Free-Beingness is Free-Spirit Liberation. That means living fully in the world as a free, shining, unique individual. Pure Awareness - or "awakening" - is only a platform on which to stand, not an end in itself. You absolutely need this in order to be a true Free Spirit, but it is not nearly enough.
Being a singular, unique, awakened, shining, free, powerful individual self is the aim of life. It is the next level of living beyond what is generally known today. It is the breakout mode from the mere conventional, boxed-in living that is the norm everywhere today. It is also a breakout beyond anything that has been known as "enlightenment." This Free-Spirit Liberation is what Free-Beingness is all about.
More on this later, when I have more of a program to convey it to others. In the meantime, I am going out singing and dancing and having some fun in the sun here by the beach in Florida.
Note (March 20, 2010)
Transcendence In The Body
Myself and many of my students have experienced Transcendent Deep Peace (Pure Awareness) right in our perceptions and emotions. This has created a great evenness in these and a sense of expanded joyful freedom.
However, total freedom can only happen from this kind of infusion of Pure Awareness when it is just as thoroughly present in inward bodily sensations, where all the triggers, anchors and automatic reflexes for all our unconscious behaviors reside. When this infusion happens you are truly and totally free, but it has been a great challenge to find out exactly and precisely how to get there. That is what is coming. I am experimenting with this now.
When transcendent silence, emptiness and stillness (transcendent deep peace, pure awareness) runs thoroughly through all your perceptions, all your emotions and all your bodily sensations, you will be serene, peaceful and free in a total way, no matter what happens, no matter what you experience or do. It is not a getting out of life (as in just about all "spiritual practices"), but something more added to all your experiences (including your bodily awareness) that makes all the difference.
This is breaking new ground. I have never even heard about such a thing in all my decades of searching and research into just about every practice, method and teaching - not getting out of your body, but Transcendent Pure Awareness right in your body as a concrete, tangible part of your bodily sensations. But it is not unusual either, because it is simply a natural extension of what I have been teaching and what I and students have already experienced.
This is what I am finding lately. Stay tuned for more on this.
Notice (Jan. 22, 2010)
Free-Beingness is the full experiential total freedom realization of body (your own body and all bodies) as the Bliss Of Peace (i.e. as Transcendent Silence, Emptiness and Stillness spontaneously radiating Pure Love-Bliss.)
(This means that you realize that a body is Bliss Of Peace in a similar way to realizing that a piece of pottery is clay - the same clay that is in all pieces of pottery. There is one substance that is the same in all the individual objects. Just so, there is one Bliss Of Peace, the same in all bodies - and this is not a belief but a tangible, concrete experience that you have all the time. Bodies are just as real and tangible to you as aways, but they now take on this new dimension - and that changes everything, as explained below.)
The realization of this in your own body is particularly important because then you easily and spontaneously experience the Bliss Of Peace 1. in your whole sense of self (ego), including your bodily and emotional sense of self, 2. in all your experiences and perceptions, and 3. in all your actions and life in the world. This totally changes everything for you - self, world, relationships, etc. etc. - into a constant, permanent flow of transcendent love-bliss within a tangible sense of the deepest true peace. Not only does your deep consciousness change in these ways, but there is a natural and spontaneous transformation of all levels of your being. Your whole body-mind, ego-self and personality become easily and naturally powerful and peaceful, loving and blissful, radiating this in yourself, to others and in all your activites in the world.
The realization of this in all bodies (i.e. the whole world and everything in it, at all levels) gives you the concrete and tangible experiential realization of total freedom, because you then no longer experience even the densist forms of matter as solid statue-like objects but more like holograms, whose substance is Silence, Emptiness and Stillness. Because you experience your own bodily self in this same way, the entirety of your experience freely "floats" in this kind of holographic awareness, with no stopping places, boundaries or limitations. This tangible sense of total freedom within your whole body, self, actions and world is the primary characteristic of Free-Beingness, from which all the other results of the realization spontaneously flow. It is the pure joy of true and total freedom, not only in consciousness but in your whole body-mind, in your ego-self, in your personality and emotions and in all your experiences of and actions in the world.
What Free-Beingness is really like cannot possibly be described adequately, so the above descriptions are merely hints at what it is like that you might be able to "feel into." It can't really even be imagined because it is a direct experiential realization that actually takes you beyond the place where you operate from mind, imagination and thinking. You then exist entirely in formless Pure Awareness, with all your experiences and actions spontaneously arising on their own from that. This is so far beyond what can be envisioned that it is tempting to just say "you have to be there," but the above descriptions can give you some sense of what it is like if you take them as pointing toward an experience that has to be lived to be fully known. Your imagination of it cannot ever possibly take you there, so don't take the "map for the territory." You really do have to be there to know what it is really like.
But obviously, the Free-Beingness realization is a totally radical transformation of your whole being, your whole self, your whole bodily physiology. It is such a leap beyond what is considered normal or even possible that it might be thought of as a higher developmental level or even a higher level of human evolution.
This realization is already built into your bodily nervous system. It does not require any practice or method to get there because it is already there. It just has to be activated. Activation of it requires knowing where it is and how to do it. Then, it is simply a matter of re-enforcing it until it takes over as your new "normal."
I am not fully there yet myself. When I do get there fully enough I will be able to activate it in others, because I believe I now know how to do this effectively. I will start testing this with a very few of my former students first and then make it available to others, which I will announce here when the time comes.
What Is Free-Beingness?
Here's what it is like to realize and live Free-Beingness:
1. Deep Peace
Pure Awareness (quiet no-thing-ness, pure emptiness) is the only True Deep Peace. You live in that all the time - in your ordinary everyday outer life.
2. True Freedom
You know the Blissful Total Freedom that comes from that Pure Awareness being tangibly in all your experiences and actions - free beyond all boundaries and limitations.
3. Radiant Bliss
You feel the Radiance of Quiet Bliss that is in that Deep Peace - in your whole body, mind, emotions and outer world.
4. Magical Creative Life
That Radiance lights up your whole life into a kind of magical existence of free-flow spontaneous creativity, spontaneous synchronicities and spontaneous manifestation.
Free-Beingness is somewhat like a deep but very dynamic meditation experience - but it is not an inward practice.
I lead you into a deep inner expansive awakening experience at the same time that I bring you to an awakening of your transcendental unique individuality.
All of this comes from deep inside you and unfolds and radiates into all aspects of your outer ordinary life in the world.
Free-Beingness is the only True Happiness!
This is because only fully living Free-Beingness really and truly satisfies your deepest desires.
Your deepest desires are:
1. For Deep Peace
Only the True Deep Peace of Pure Awareness in all your outer experiences really satisfies your hunger for peace, tranquility and comfort that no smaller comforts can.
2. For True Freedom
Only the ultimate freedom that comes from Pure Awareness in all your experiences gives you the liberation from the stress of boundaries and limitations that really sets you free.
3. For Radiant Bliss
Only the Radiant Bliss Of Peace in your whole body, mind, emotions and outer world, gives you the true and ultimate satisfaction of desires that you can never ever find in fulfilling any specific desires.
4. For A Magical Creative Life
Only a truly and deeply engaged, passionate, Magical Creative Life gives you the ultimate lasting thrill that you seek in all smaller thrills that don't ever last.
Bliss, Peace And Magic In Everyday Life
My personal one-on-one training sessions bring you to the full Free-Beingness Realization in just a few sessions.
Each session facilitates Free-Beingness spontaneously unfolding in you until you get to where you are fully living Free-Beingness in your ordinary everyday life. (This takes usually only a few months at the most.)
You Get Immediate Results
You have the full inner realization and outer integration in your first few sessions. After that you gradually transition into the higher level of functioning that comes with it. So, after your first session I give you steady follow-up. Follow-up consists of as many sessions as you need in order to access the Free-Beingness experience on your own easily and without effort. Then the transition flows smoothly and easily. I also give you specific help, as needed, in fully making that transition.
Is This Enlightenment?
You might say that. But Free-Beingness goes way beyond what some people have called enlightenment or "spiritual awakening." That would merely be awakening to the Bliss Of Peace deep inside you. Free-Beingness is that - profoundly and clearly - but also fully and tangibly experiencing that in every aspect of your outer experience of your body, mind, emotions, self and world.
And - even beyond that - this expansion in your outer experience takes you to a totally new, higher level of spontaneous free-flow creative functioning in all aspects of your living. This gives you experiences, powers and abilities that are way beyond what is generally thought possible, even in enlightenment.
My guidance doesn't just raise your consciousness. It totally transforms your whole life and your whole world.
Free-Beingness is also less than enlightenment, because there is no pretense to any kind of specialness. Your realization is integrated into ordinariness from the very beginning, and all along the way. It is a higher level of functioning in all areas of your life, but you simply get used to it, and live it in and as your normal existence.
A New Level Of Living
And so, Free-Beingness is about the realization of Deep Quietness And Stillness (the Bliss Of Peace) and about tremendous expansion in your outer life and in your functioning in the world. You might call it "integrated, embodied enlightenment." What it really is, though, is an entirely new, higher developmental level along the normal continuum of infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. It is a new step beyond these, in all phases and levels of living.
That is where my guidance takes you. Not to some exalted other-worldly state of enlightened specialness (which is, in fact, a delusion - this just doesn't exist!!), but to a normal progression in normal development. It is grand, in that that new level gives you entirely new abilities, experiences, sense of self and of life. But this is true for all developmental levels that we all go through. You don't become a saint, hero, guru or exalted swami. You become a normal human being living a normal life on a much higher plane.
Integrated Into Ordinariness
In fact, you become less special, because the old ego-based compulsion to prove yourself goes away. Part of what happens in Free-Beingness is that life becomes a lot easier, with a lot less striving in all areas. Your old self-concerns go away, and you are not focused on yourself - because you function so much better in all areas of life that you don't need any self-concern. And therefore, you certainly don't need to be special. You live free beyond all that.
There is no "spiritual" ideal (or any other) to live up to! This is about freedom. Your own freedom in your own, free, unique, individual way! And you get to live that freedom, not in the prison of a thought.
Your realization of the Bliss Of Peace is integrated into ordinariness - and you just live it, free as a bird, from everything, in everything.
No Gurus
Of course, then, I am not special in any way either. I am just someone who knows Free-Beingness myself from personal realization (which, remember, is just ordinary life) and also knows all the ins and outs of conveying it to you through an advanced, very sophisticated method and personal one-on-one interaction. I am not a guru, just a helper on the same level as you are, relating to you just where you are. Once you are living Free-Beingness I won't be useful to you at all, and you will live it forever on your own.
Why My Guidance Is So Effective
My guidance is a very specific, detailed process with a very clear aim. I adapt it in the moment to your unique individuality and needs, so that I am actually inventing a whole new approach just for you. The process is very subtle, involving both direct experiencing and important realizations in your understanding. I take you by the hand every step of the way through whatever it takes to get you there.
The reason this works so well is:
1. Because of the expert, knowledgeable, caring, personal attention that I give to your unique individuality and needs all the way through the guidance process.
2. Because of the highly focused dynamic interaction that I guide you into, with the minute details of your unique personal experiences and your deepest patterns.
3. Because I do all the work, gently easing you into the realization so that no effort or trying arises from your conscious mind or ego to interfere with the innocence and subtlety of the process.
4. Because I am in the place that I am guiding you into, and welcome you into it by a kind of transmitted resonance and entrainment. This is like dancing with someone who gives you the "feel" of it so that you just start flowing with it rather than trying to get it.
5. Because I know all the subtle in's and out's of the process of getting you there, from my long, deep personal experience. Just as importantly, I know all the big and small ways that you can miss the mark, and how to get you back on track. It is like hitting a bullseye, and I know exactly where that is and how to get you to hit it too.
6. Because all of this is totally experiential, i.e. focused on your direct, immediate, on-going, moment-to-moment experience, and not on theories, thoughts, imagination, beliefs, philosophies or the like - taking you to the deepest levels of your being, activating and awakening you there, and then bringing this out into your real, everyday life.
7. Because the method I use to convey this to you is itself operating on the higher level of functioning that is Free-Beingness. This method is based on decades of research into very high level experiential transformation practices (see the right sidebar called Background.) All other methods - even those from truly "enlightened" masters - operate from lower levels and therefore tend to keep you at these lower levels. Living the higher level doesn't automatically give you the ability to convey it to others. That takes a specific higher-level skill - the skill I have developed into my Free-Beingness guidance.
8. Because the utter simplicity of my method gets you there in a one-time leap, not by a gradual process. This is the only way to get to Free-Beingness because it is a level that is totally discontinuous with the former level. A gradual process can't make that jump. I have made a thorough and systematic research project into finding this method, since 1970, and have only recently found the direct, immediate simplicity of method that is needed for a quick jump like this. It is not a simplification which leaves things out, but the simple essence of a vast complexity, discovered and refined over all these years.
Why You Need Expert Guidance
These are crucial and essential elements of what it takes to effectively and fully open into Free-Beingness. No generalized or gradual method (techniques, practices or formulae), like meditation, "mindfulness," yoga, self-inquiry, changing thoughts and beliefs, "raising your vibration," being in the "now," devotion, group dynamics, or following some teaching, teacher or guru, has these. Therefore, none of these traditional means can ever get you there.
Free-Beingness is a level of integrated living "beyond enlightenment." Getting to this high level of integration involves a deep and thorough transformation of your unique individuality and your totally unique way of structuring your experiences and actions. No generalized method can ever accomplish this, because what is needed is deeply and uniquely personal - a way into realization made just for you, right where you live, and in the present moment of your living. It is as simple as that.
Only expert, one-on-one personal guidance that has the above essential components can really and truly get you there. My guidance has these, and I help you get there quickly and easily.
Important: The other reason you need expert, sensitive, sophisticated guidance is because getting the actual realization experience is like hitting a bullseye from across a football field. I have found the utter simplicity of how to convey realization to you, and this is how you experience it. But it is not simple to convey. If you get it right, you go right through the gate, so to speak, into Free-Beingness. If you don't, because of the territory we are working in (the depths of self), you could go into worlds of pain (from your old unconscious patterns.) I know how to get you through exactly and precisely, without any pain. You can't do this without expert and continuing guidance.
(My guidance consists of a short series of induction sessions. These are followed by continuing guidance and sessions to check your experience. These sessions are usually on the phone.)
This Is Entirely New And Unique
I have originated all of this. It is not a synthesis of other practices or teachings. It does not come from any tradition, teaching, book, guru or revelation from on high, but from decades of searching, research, experimentation and experience. It is completely unlike anything you have ever experienced before.
It is not like meditation, yoga, devotion, subtle energy work, or anything currently taught by anyone (which are all examples of methods using lower-level functioning, which therefore tend to keep you on that lower level of functioning in spite of their lofty aims.) I know this because I have either tried or looked into all of these. And my students tell me the same thing. There is truly nothing else like what I am offering you here. You will find this out tangibly, fully and completely in your first guidance session with me, when you have the full Free-Beingness realization.

Audio recordings from the program I was teaching up until July, 2008 are now available. See the very bottom of the Talks page for this. (This is the Talks link to the left of this page, not the Talks site.)
Background
The new, higher-level functioning that is Free-Beingness can only be conveyed to you by a method that is itself operating on that higher level of functioning. My guidance comes entirely from a very advanced application of little known experiential transformation practices that operate on that higher level. I have created a whole website just to explain what this is and how it works. You can find it here.
