DAY 58: 9 Minutes & 40 Seconds of Gazing – The Return of Nikki Lorenzo
My friend Nikki returned to gazing with me this morning. She did about five minutes to my nine minutes, which impressed me because she left off six weeks ago at about two minutes and thirty seconds. She drank in the light, commenting on the unfamiliar brightness that made it feel more like noon even though […]
DAY 57: 9 Minutes & 30 Seconds of Gazing
I met a woman today in Starbucks who had a cute little bulldog who’s tongue was perpetually hanging out of his mouth, named Pugsley. He was irresistibly cute so my friend Nikki decided to get a picture of him. As this was happening Pugsley’s owner, a bubbly woman with a look in her eye that […]
DAYS 53-56: Up to 9 Minutes of Gazing
I have been gazing steadily for the last few days, always at sunset because of the thick hazy mornings. As I settled into the routine of gazing in the evening I also settled into the habit of skipping my early morning chanting session, called Sadhana, and catching up on some extra zzzzz’s. I would wake […]
DAY 52: 8 Minutes & 40 Seconds of Gazing
“A seeker of Truth looks beyond the apparent and contemplates the hidden. What the senses perceive is only a distortion. We all look for something that is not yet in existence, beggars look for coins, shopkeepers for profit, farmers for harvest, pupils for knowledge, and seekers for enlightenment. Non-existence is the treasure house of God […]
DAYS 49-51: 8 Minutes & 10/20/30 Seconds of Gazing
The universe has been speaking to me in no uncertain terms. I am supposed to relax, to be patient, to let the things I’ve been desiring and visualizing manifest into reality in their proper time. Let me explain how I am so certain that the universe is telling me to be more patient. And why […]
DAYS 46-48: Up to 8 Minutes of Gazing
Over the last three days I have been gazing steadily. The clouds have prevented the gaze from my cactus covered morning temple so I have been continuing to consume my light at sunset. I made it to the beach on Day 46 and gazed as the sun set behind the hills of Malibu. On Day […]
DAY 45: 7 & 1/2 Minutes of Gazing – Sun Beams & Burritos
I read in The Earth Was Flat by Mason Dwinell that sometimes during the early stages of gazing some old deeply entrenched patterns can re-emerge and seem to take hold as they bubble to the surface in order to heal and be released. It’s similar to a cancer patient who is healing from a juice […]
DAYS 43 & 44: 7 Minutes & 10/20 Seconds of Gazing
I attempted both of the last two mornings to gaze and was again stopped in my tracks by the clouds, by the unyielding wall of grey. But the clouds just don’t get my goat anymore. The universe is just making things interesting. Well I see your clouds and I raise you a sunset. So I’ve […]
DAYS 40-42: Up to 7 Minutes of Gazing
“All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.” -Ambrose Bierce. So here’s my philosophy, all paths lead to the same place so let’s let everybody live how they want to live. I have been gazing steadily at sunset for the last few days. Despite this new re-commitment to my […]
DAY 39: 6 Minutes & 30 Seconds of Gazing
This morning I made my way up to the mountain for the first time in a few days. I have been sleeping in until six am for the last few days, missing chanting, but getting some much needed rest. I gazed at the sun from the edge of my West Hollywood property, where I have […]
