Walk the Talk: A Dictionary for the Now Exspirientuality

Welcome to the official launch of

Walk the Talk: A Dictionary for the Now Exspirientuality.

I've been mentioning some of the new terms I have coined and will continue to utilize in my discussions and philosophizing. These terms are the first deliberate, considered effort to create terminology that defers more directly to the unified nature of our apparently non-unified existence.

I continue to be amused - from a position of great humility and respect mind you - by the fact that so many of the current crop of gurus (for lack of a better term) continue to "call for a change without changing the call". They are using old school (rhymes with "old-dual", eh?), old spirituality language in an attempt to realize and honor what they are pointing to as a new spirituality. They're using the language of separation, the language of separation theology, to discuss unity and a theology / philosophy of unity.

First and foremost I have coined the term The Now Exspirientuality to represent what I call now-thought. Any true experience of "spirituality" in the physical world comes to us experientially. It's not really all that ethereal or mystical or spoo-oo-ooky... Knock you down fascinating, but baby, it's real. Sweat and tears and laughter and soaring joy are physical experiences. I would agree with those who say it is the "spirit" enjoying them, and I respect those who think I am nuts for saying that. Doesn't matter though.

So I combined the terms Experiential and Spirituality and came up with Exspirientuality.

Now of course is Newer than just plain old new - it's Eternally* New. It's Perpetually New. The New that Doesn't Get Old, that No One Has Been There and Done. It's THAT new.

It reflects the honest truth that time does not exist, except in our experience. We know that, and pretend it is important. Then we converse as though it does exist, and live our lives bound by past and hoping for future.

Our Future Needs You states the headline of an article in What Is Enlightenment magazine. I understand the call to action for a better planet and life situation, but...

Call me cynical - the first thought that hit me was "Of course you do. If we believe in future enlightenment, or a better world in the future, we'll keep buying your magazine. If you let us in on the truth about time, we won't. Then-Now is a better term than future or past. It reflects the fact that any reference to past or future is done in the NOW moment. That's profoundly important to understanding that enlightenment is all that's evident...

When our language better reflects the reality of paradox, we will more easily learn to communicate and live within the paradox of unity - separation.

The Now Exspirientuality. I welcome your thoughts and suggestions for new words as well. Next post will begin an alpha listing... I'll add suggested ones that I think fit the spirit of the endeavor - thanks for your input!!

Dance In the Moment,
