The writings have arisen from direct experience - what has been seen and recognised through a lived exploration of connection and separation. The understanding expressed here has been shaped through this process, including many conversations with my boyfriend, Alex. These writings are in progress.



Fundamentals

This section explores connection as direct experience, and how separation is made to appear real through identification and interpretation. The articles are intended to be read in sequence, as a progression of seeing rather than separate ideas.


Concepts - coming soon

Concepts are ideas that shape how experience is interpreted. Ideas such as respect, belonging, purpose, fulfilment, success, failure, and worth are often used to make sense of situations.

When a concept is applied to what is happening, it appears as though it's accurately describing reality. In practice, it is a way of interpreting experience rather than noticing what is directly present.

Each article explores how a specific concept, held and believed, shapes the way situations are experienced, and how they obscure what is actually present.


Relationships - coming soon

How separating concepts such as obligation, loyalty, commitment, trust, honour, and professionalism appear to define relationships and shape perception, while obscuring the direct experience of connection. What becomes clear through reading is that there are no different types of relationships, but only a difference in how we relate. There is either connection or separation, openness or closedness, love or fear, harmony or disharmony... regardless of the labels used to describe the relationship.
