Greetings

My name is PhillyC, writer, rapper, and seeker located in Wellington, New Zealand.

With this blog I am intending to dive into some big questions. The kind of big questions that we all should ask ourselves during the short span of our lives.

Questions like:

Who am I?

What is life?

What is my purpose?

Why am I suffering?

and How can I be free?

I have a deep yearning in my self to be free from the constraints of mind. This is the focus of my life now, seemingly nothing else has that kind of attraction any more. My posts will be detailing the various practices, teachers, and methods that I am inhabiting, connecting with, and inquiring into.

I don't claim to know anything special or to have attained to anything spiritually. Al I can offer is my honest experience of my own conversation with life - what seems to be real, what seems to work, and what seems to be intuitively true.

It's a bit of a paradox to start speculating in this realm, because this is the kind of stuff that goes deeper and deeper into the unknown, with less and less of our assumptions to use as reference points. Yet as absurd as it is, I am going to ride this thin line and convey the best information that I can. Wary of the ego always waiting to 'sneak in the back door' and make this all about my limited personal perspectives and judgments :D

So these are my intentions for the blog, as well as laying down some sick bars (it means rapping for the layman). I find that rapping is a sometimes humorous counterpoint to the intensity of self inquiry, and it can also be an effective method for spouting spontaneous truth.

So stay tuned, keep it real, and many blessings to you
PhillyC
