Loss of Being
Loss of Being deals with the core illness of modern Western consciousness-separation from Being, the living, unmanifest field of our existence. The separation leaves us empty, alienated, threatened, and in despair, producing the angst and desolation that characterizes the modern Western mind. This book is presented as a personal journey wrapped around a teaching. In 1985, Don Nix entered a time of personal crisis and emotional disintegration, which he defined as burnout. He and his wife moved to California and spent a year at Esalen Institute, then moved to San Francisco and joined a transformational work-school. In that experience, he discovered that burnout was only a symptom of his real problem, loss of Being. The book traces his ten-year experience in the work-school, and includes the teachings that took him back to health. It will appeal to those seeking healing from burnout, those looking for spiritual depth and meaning, and those in despair at modern life. A deep, almost desperate hunger exists in our culture for fresh and grounded spiritual insight. This book speaks directly to that longing.
The Sea of Sensitivity
Wonder is the invisible component of transformation. It is a special kind of consciousness, an expanded state that involves both the mind and the heart. It focuses the mind on generative Being, and produces a subtle thrill throughout the mind and body, as perceptions of and connection to the Cosmos emerge in experience. Wonder opens the mind to Being, and the body to experiences of depth and sacredness. If the state persists for any length of time, it will create experiences of mystery and infinity. It opens the eyes. It opens the heart. It generates gratitude, as we contemplate the grace cascading upon us, and perceive ourselves in a context of Vastness. It causes us, for a moment, to step ...
Patterns of Being
We live in perilous times. We face a host of problems, mostly self-created, that appear to be insurmountable. We need to move beyond the impulses of the primate mind and its habit of separateness into a new human consciousness that would take us to a larger and deeper worldview, and change the way that we do things. Our old system of reality, which has underpinned our progress for the last 400 years, is eroding. Based on cause and effect, it was not large enough. Although quantum physics has thrown up the beginnings of a new framework, it is still largely unformed. Part of that new, emerging reality might be Harmonic Patterns. Held in the invisible depths of Being, these patterns structure all realities as they emerge into the material realm. They orchestrate reality, and provide the order and structure upon which our lives depend. In this book, Don C. Nix proposes that we look closely at Harmonic Patterns and accept them into our reality as companions to cause and effect. Harmonic Patterns are everywhere we look. They are the innate nature of Being, emerging as Being turns itself into the manifest world. We need to make a place for them.
This Shimmering Life
We are evolving rapidly. Its a good thing, because we have exhausted this current phase in the unfolding evolution of our consciousness. For a couple of millennia, we have been wholly trapped in separateness. In the last 400 years, we also have been trapped in the mesmerizing material world. It has produced a worldview with a vision of the Cosmos as a dead, empty void, mechanically revolving like clockwork, with only a few bits of life, like ourselves, in it. This worldview has left us in desolation and despair. Now things are shifting. All over the world, a new consciousness is emerging. Spawned in large part by the discoveries of quantum physics, this new awareness is moving us toward a re...
Dancing with Presence
Somehow we have become disconnected from the infinite Ocean of Life that is our Source and our support in life. Our view of reality has, over the last four centuries, narrowed to the point where the core of the CosmosBeing Itselfhas been excluded. As a result, our lives are full of despair, desolation and fear. Most people do not realize what is wrong. Now, however, the results of having lost Being in our worldview have become so unpleasant that many of us are reaching out toward Invisible Livingness, struggling to try to recapture the ground of our lives. The 77 poems in this little book record this struggle. They document some of the many facets of the struggle, some successes and some failures, in the effort to grow a new consciousness that includes awareness of Majesty. We are all the Cosmos turning back to look at its handiwork, and as we evolve our consciousness that will become ever more clear to us.
The Field of Being
The latest discoveries in quantum physics are converging now with the ancient conclusions of Eastern wisdom traditions, opening the way for an evolution of human consciousness into a new "Field Consciousness" that is a transformation as profound as the movement of simple animal consciousness into human self-consciousness. The FIELD OF BEING tracks this emerging development. This book will appeal to those looking for spiritual depth, meaning and direction in the tumult of modern life.
The Matrix of Splendor
We have lost our way. We are caught in a mistake of history that tells us that we live in a dead and empty Cosmos. When we believe this, it leaves us desperate, in despair and frantic to find meaning in our lives. Money, goods and fame cannot assuage the emptiness. A full calendar of activities will not cover it for long. What can bring relief is the integration of Being into our worldview. We must live our way into the realization that the Cosmos is alive, conscious, intelligent, creative, and generative of our world. We must redefine the Cosmos as a miraculous Field of Livingness. We must include Being, the core of reality, in our understanding. Then the emptiness that we are experiencing will yield to fullness. We are part of something so mysterious and magnificent, so vast, powerful, beautiful and creative that it should continually stun us with wonder. We are graced with the consciousness to perceive this. Including the experience of Being will lift our spiritspermanently. It will carry us back home, where we belong, inside the Matrix of Splendor.
First Light
We are evolving rapidly. However, it is anyones guess whether we can grow up fast enough to avoid destroying ourselves. Everywhere we look there is massive change, but the amount of change required to save ourselves is monumental. We must literally change the worldview of billions of people. We must have a leap in evolution that takes us to another way of viewing reality. We must move beyond our separateness and isolation. And we must do it quickly. Quantum physics has thrown open a doorway that might give us a way out. In characterizing the universe as a singularity without parts, a Unified Field, it has perhaps laid the foundation for a new worldview that is beyond separateness. If we can grow ourselves into a new awareness that we are an integral part of the Field of Being, and that the entire Field is alive, conscious, intelligent, creative and unfolding, then perhaps our separateness can yield to being subsumed in Something sacred and miraculous. Life and reality would look quite different through this lens. It is appearing now. It is coming. The question is whether we have enough time.
The Rainbow Earth
We see only a fraction of what is around us. Preoccupied with our internal conversation and with our problems and crises, we do not see most of Reality. Our perceptions are atrophied. At moments the veils can lift, and we can see directly, without concepts or conditioning. In those moments, the world becomes magical, stunningly beautiful and infinitely mysterious. While in this state, the simplest things can move us to strong emotion and wonder. The 77 poems in this little book are all about the struggle to develop and reclaim this awareness of the Miraculous. The living Cosmos is presenting Itself to us every moment. We must wake up and learn to see.
The Crucible of the Miraculous
Life is an amazing strangeness. We arrive as beings bundled in a tiny, material body, and we spend the entire arc of our lives trying to figure out what is going on and what it is all about. To live a human life is to be caught in a process of alchemy. The world is a miraculous crucible that burns us, pounds us, and whirls us around in a rough process that eventually transforms us, remakes us and teaches us deep lessons. We wind up in a very different place than where we began. We become wiser about ourselves and reality, and larger than when we started. The 81 poems in this little book chronicle one persons experience of lifes crucible. Though they record an individual journey, given the patterns in human experience they also have aspects that are universal. Many readers will find material that is deeply familiar in their own lives. We are all engaged in working our way back to Living Light.
