What is Jampa Alf up to Now?
Inspired by Derek Sivers, this is my ‘Now’ page. Not a general background of me (about page), rather an up to date version of what am I doing/working on ‘Now’.
Radical Existential Listening
After a 3 years I left my (ethical) cult. Although it may sound hippie dippie, I am surrendering plans and I am fighting to keep it that way. Surrendering to not knowing - feels more true than any conceptual plan. I sense I (and the world) need to embrace radically more listening at this time.
What I am (or was) working on:
I will be entering a full-time solitary retreat in Crestone, Colorado on Nov 1, 2024 at the Center for Contemplative Research under Alan Wallace. It will likely be 18-24 months, maybe longer. Please pray for me — I will be praying and singing for you.
I began the mind bending and arduous Tibetan Vajrayana Preliminaries (Ngondro). Previously I was too arrogant, rational, and closed minded to consider such a thing. Humility is so underrated.
I killed my Blog ZenRants. Welcome Bardo Blues. Whether our heart-minds or our civilization — we are dancing liminal in-between. Something greater than us want’s to sing.
