Last updated on: September 4, 2012 at 9:56 am By David Matthew Brown

Teach these truths to your children. Teach your children that they need nothing exterior to themselves to be happy, neither person, place, nor thing, and that true happiness is found within.

The Naked Mystic: Butterflies Are Free

Last updated on: September 3, 2012 at 1:15 pm By David Matthew Brown

So I traveled down the trail to see some swimming holes that were around. Walking the trail I was reminded of the deep inner wisdom of nature, I was reminded of my own inner wisdom, my own creative expression, and the depths of life itself unfolding now. In this sense of connection, it occurred to me that walking in the presence of nature was very healing. It was healing in nature because nature IS. The more I AM, the more others can be their I AM, and healing occurs. Read more

The Naked Mystic: Can’t Out Wit God

Last updated on: August 31, 2012 at 9:42 am By David Matthew Brown

.... how can we deal with such stories that we know are not true? When others believe them as well and friends turn on friends, or families turn on families because people forget to question the story they are listening too. It can be quite painful, and hurtful when others create drama, chaos, and lies about you. Read more

The Naked Mystic: Why the fuss?

Last updated on: August 27, 2012 at 11:55 am By David Matthew Brown

When you gaze at a tree and really see it, you will begin to see yourself. What makes a tree successful? Go on, contemplate that. You may say, “well the tree is present, expressive, has many different colors, growing, powerful, etc..” which describes to the tee, YOU! So why all the fuss? Why do we fuss? Because we seem to lack understanding of who we actually are. When we discover the nature of our true nature, then the fuss goes... Read more

Looking up at the stars and seeing his sheep sleeping; he realized nothing was out of place, and all was good. This is the good news my friends! Read more
