READ AN EXCERPT FROM JIM's ESSAY "Mental Warming"

Mostly we live in the ruins of the future; which is an extrapolation of the ruins of the past. As if the ice cubes could never melt.  Our disease infects our sense of time.  Hardly a one of us can get into the day, let alone the moment.  And this is so because we underestimate the role of imagination with respect to time.  Mostly we are still suffering some imagined event we truly believe happened sometime in the past.  We are already lost in an unreal past that never was; trying to avoid an unreal future that never will be.  And we don’t even notice that we are automated to invest the energy and time of the present moment to generate all this.  Things would go infinitely better if we just did nothing.  The Tao tells us that “When ‘nothing’ is done, nothing is left undone.”

If anything above resonates with you, why not just show up and see what what's possible?

"If it is true that pain is the touchstone of all spiritual growth then the point must become to touch the stone.  What could be simpler.  Every day, in every way the stone is there to be touched.  And I suspect each of us can validate that our proudest or most transformative moments are related to situations and times when we stopped running away from some pain.  This touchstone must surely be the proverbial corner stone that nobody sees as valuable—petrified, petrifying pain.  Let’s go get stoned!" - JIM ROI

Session 9 : Overcoming our Spiritual Malady, A Ten Session Seminar on the philosophy of Spiritual Disease with Jim Roi

Spiritual dis-ease is not a concept, nor is it a medical condition; it is not fundamentally cognitive or behavioral, though it rules both our thinking and our behavior. Spiritual dis-ease is not something wrong with us. It wants to be an enhancement of our possibilities for being, to give us new perspectives on who we are, who we can be and how we work.

"We believe that knowledge is power and that knowing is the source of doing.  This is so deeply and unconsciously embedded in our minds that it just doesn’t occur to us to question it–and yet moment by moment, in some of the most important concerns of our lives we demonstrate over and over that self knowledge avails us nothing."- JIM ROI
