slow advaita: Frithjof Schuon - On his Philosophy

http://slowadvaita.blogspot.com/2010/09/frithjof-schuon-on-his-philosophy.html

Friday, September 17, 2010. Frithjof Schuon - On his Philosophy. 1907-1998) is perhaps the most formidable modern perennialist philosopher. In his books, his poetry and his art, we find a man out of time - which is to say he lived in a world of timeless - and time-honored - spiritual ideas and principles. The scope of Schuon's insight may be compared to two of his own favorite philosophers: Plato. Posted by Nathan Spoon. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Read my essays on Advaita Academy.

A Little Cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate: Eating Fire Without Getting Burned

http://tazadechocolate.blogspot.com/2009/02/eating-fire-without-getting-burned.html

Eating Fire Without Getting Burned. In almost every Mexican family there is someone whose love for hot spontaneous combustion-inducing chile peppers surpasses belief. And in my family, that distinction belongs to my sister-in-law who I will call María, a woman whose love of hot chiles is downright infernal. She cannot leave the house without carrying in her purse a baggie of fresh chiles de árbol or some habañeros, two of the deadliest little. Really, her secret is no. Although many of the world's cuisin...

A Little Cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate: La Chica Who Came In From The Cold: Chile Verde

http://tazadechocolate.blogspot.com/2012/01/la-chica-who-came-in-from-cold-chile.html

La Chica Who Came In From The Cold: Chile Verde. Have you ever had a friend disappear on you on a spring day, only to find her banging at your door in the dead of winter looking. As fat and as cheeky as if she never left? You open the door and say, Oye chica,. What happened to you? Six months ago you told me you were going out for tacos and beer but you never came back! Well,that chica is me. I can’t explain why I jumped off the bloggy treadmill. Was it because I felt as burned out as some. And just as I...

A Little Cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate: If I Knew You Were Coming I Would Have Cooked You Pozole

http://tazadechocolate.blogspot.com/2012/09/if-i-knew-you-were-coming-i-would-have.html

If I Knew You Were Coming I Would Have Cooked You Pozole. If you’re asking me if I’m in the mood for cooking, the answer is no—but I am open to persuasion. But it can’t be anything that reminds me of summer, with its wet, ill-fitting bathing suits that makes you look like a sunburned chorizo sausage in its casing. Don’t even mention those cloying girly girl drinks with tiny umbrellas in them, got it? And no cold salads, please. . . . Hmmmm, consider me. Ay, yay, yay,. And here is the best part: cooking p...

A Little Cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate: I Hate Wraps

http://tazadechocolate.blogspot.com/2008/02/why-do-i-hate-wraps-because-they-are.html

Why do I hate wraps? Because they are no. Thing more than trendy, moved-to-the-O.C. fancy food, while all the while denying their humble, ethnic parentage. A rose by any other name is still a rose, but a wrap by any other name is still a burrito. Yes, dear reader, a burrito. You can stuff it with caviar or foie gras. And it will still be a burrito (that dresses like a bimbo). Manufactured just for them by a “Mexican émigré”*, which are perfect for, you guessed it, wraps. May I suggest an alternative name...

A Little Cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate: Mexican Chicken Soup, Or The Tragic Tale of The Demon Rooster

http://tazadechocolate.blogspot.com/2009/01/mexican-chicken-soup-or-tragic-tale-of.html

Mexican Chicken Soup, Or The Tragic Tale of The Demon Rooster. If you think I'm going to recount a happy tale where my Mexican mother served me this chicken soup with its clear delicately flavored broth with corn on the cob(! With potatoes, zucchini and a wonderful green squash named. Whenever I got sick with the cold, where she cooled my childish fevered brow and sang me sweet Spanish lullabies as she held me in her arms, you are most sadly mistaken. It seemed no different than any other day. Donnin...

slow advaita: The Essence of advaita

http://slowadvaita.blogspot.com/2011/01/essence-of-advaita.html

Thursday, January 27, 2011. The Essence of advaita. Here is the video of a talk I gave at the SIG retreat. Back in the fall of 2009. There is no question that I totally butcher the Sanskrit. But, more importantly, the some of the great and worthy ideas of the vedAnta are introduced for meditation. And these are always valuable to revisit.

slow advaita: His Bride

http://slowadvaita.blogspot.com/2010/10/his-bride.html

Sunday, October 31, 2010. And lamented the dark night of the soul. Separated from Him,. I searched for Home. I read and wrote poetry,. And cried till my heart ached and eyes burned,. Begging Him to make me His bride. But now I know -. It is not His fault. I don't have the courage to say 'I do',. He was always married to me;. It is me who flirts and flits around. Talking of the long night of separation. What can He do? He, who is the Dawn,. How can He meet my dark night? I need to trust,. I too must trust.
