Free play is my reflection on the ancient Sanskrit term ‘Lila’ which sees reality as an unfolding dream, an infinite malleable game. It also points to the free expression of 'Liberated Souls' that dance through space-time. These dialogues are a free inquiry into the unfolding potential of reality. Emerging from Source - fully, freely, & fluidly - like waves dancing romancing the horizon.
Unbounded Wholeness: Approaching Authenticity
In this Dialogue, Bonnitta Roy & I play with approaching the Book - Unbounded Wholeness. Bonnie suggests skilful ways of relating to the ideas, concepts, and non-conceptual as pointed to in the approach of 'Authenticity', as defined in the book.  We aimed to express the theme of 'multiplicity' in our dialogue to embody & point to the idea.  The book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unbounded-Wholeness-Dzogchen-Logic-Nonconceptual/dp/0195178505 You can learn more about Bonnie & support her research at https://alderloreinsightcenter.com/
