Well Being with Don Oakley

A weekly presentation on the spiritual journey and awakening to our true nature by Don Oakley, Founder of Well Being Retreat Center in Tazewell, Tennessee.

  1. How We Un-Enlighten Ourselves

    How We Un-Enlighten Ourselves

    The enlightenment that we seek is already present. St. Francis said the same 800 years ago. The 17th Century Zen Master Bankei called it the Unborn. The difficulty is that we may not know the truth of such statements for ourselves. It is reasonable, therefore, to ask what are we doing to un-enlighten ourselves? If we knew what that was and stopped doing it, our inherent, already present awakeness would be revealed.

    Duality and Me

    Phenomenal duality is easy to see: up & down, light & dark, right & wrong, birth & death. It seems to be how our minds try to make sense of things by dividing and comparing. But then there is the more fundamental duality of me and everything else and the even more fundamental duality of the observer and the observed. Where is the reality in this house of mirrors?

    Finding Peace in a Chaotic World

    We demand peace out in the world but refuse it within ourselves. If we wait for the world to be to our satisfaction, we will wait a very long time. We can do what we can to relieve suffering out in the world, of course, but the question remains: "what needs to change within myself in order to realize peace here and now?

    Going All In

    We may meditate for years, go on retreats, maybe even notice the ever-present quality of awareness, and yet still hesitate. “Yes, I have glimpsed awareness, but how do I know I can really trust it?” The thinking mind can conjure up an endless list of doubts and questions. Any one is enough to obscure that formless purity, much like a hand that is held in front of our face can obscure the enormity of the Sun. What will it take to go all in – into the embrace of the Divine?

    Always Being, Always Becoming

    In spirituality, we may presume that we are on a path to a distant goal. It is true, on a human level, that there is always more “becoming” to do. There is no end to that. However, in the meantime, this mysterious ever-present beingness is already a done deal. It has never been absent, nor could it be – regardless of whatever we may have done or not done. It is what we are – prior to any idea of ourselves that we may hold. It is purity itself.

  8. Basic Goodness

    Basic Goodness

    With the amount of turmoil and conflict in the world, it may seem naive to talk about people's basic goodness, but I am using the term in a very specific way. There is a universal and fundamental desire to be happy, to wish oneself well, to be at peace, to feel safe. It is in our pursuit of that underlying desire where problems can arise. How we go about trying to resolve that desire may be functional. Or often not. When we encounter dysfunctional behavior, it is important to remember that we all have this desire to be happy in common."
