I was Headless today. Gathered together in Judy’s house we explored The Headless Way. It is a practice developed by Douglas Harding that enables us to see, not as we have become accustomed to seeing, in a tunnel-visioned, self-conscious way, but from ‘behind’ as it were, from a great No-thingness that accommodates all; everything that is, has been and will be. The opening up of perspective and the sense of connection achieved through the practices is incredibly joyful, reassuring and peace-providing. The ‘movement’ (for want of a better word) isn't a cult, a religion or a mystique, but a most common sense way to see something which, once seen, is so obvious - we are not merely our finite human body, and to all intents and purposes, from an experiential point of view we are headless. We ARE the universe (Judy designates her U3A course - ‘Youniverse’)
