His Praise listing https://www.shinzen.org/resources/ has a lot of names whose work helped me to get a deeper understanding. Culadasa is in that list as well.

Thank you.

I will just report to you what was and is happening to me in hope that it will help you to understand changes that are happening to you.
About two years ago I first started feeling that my body started to reject meat. I ate meat all my life, so it…[Read more]

TMI book is definitely one of those books that helped me a lot to build the language of communication.
I will jump on the book you mentioned.

A string of beads?


What seems to be easy for you is kind of a challenge for me: a proper language to describe the events of the inner world.

Thank you so much for your pointers. I will definitely try 3D-ing the experience. I know exactly what you mean! Thank you for the book recommendation. I’ll go thru for sure.
