Emptiness Cafe
Life moves
Like shadow and light,
Instantaneously
appearing,
Though I cannot find time
itself.
Cities mirrored in thought,
Nothing standing alone.
There is no seer without
the seen,
No thought without thing.
Subject and object inter-rise.
Feelings, perceptions,
none self-made.
Not even the heart
Lights its own flame.
The separate self departs.
There are sensations,
conversations,
Aromatic contemplations,
But no I to claim
This emptiness cafe.

Since studying and
meditating on emptiness teachings, I was able to give
nonconceptual, nondual experiences a gestalt that integrated them
into life. This teaching brings both the emptiness of
phenomena and cause and effect together in a way so as to
understand and live through the guidance of nondual wisdom and
compassion.
My work as a
licensed therapist, utilizing both cognitive and psychodynamic
therapies, has also been influenced and woven together with
nondual emptiness teachings. The aim of emptiness teachings
is to alleviate suffering and do so in a way that identifies and
addresses its root cause, without finding it desirable or even
possible to withdraw from individual and worldly concerns.
