We have been taught to spend our lives chasing our thoughts and projections. Even when the 'mind' is talked about, it is only thoughts and emotions that are referred to; and when our researchers study what they imagine to be the mind, they look only at its projections. No one ever really looks into the mind itself, the ground from which all these expressions arise; and this has tragic consequences.
- Sogyal Rinpoche
when the OUTSIDE MAGAZINE photographers start ramping up for a photoshoot, for me to attempt to express the countless hours of pain that i have spent in yogic meditation since paralyzing my spine is impossible. what i can do however, is to access that True Mind into which i go during my own solo practice. if an outer Transmission of my solo practice is somehow conveyed, then i have done my best.
