“Wisdom” is ether Conventional or Ultimate.

Meditation is the only way to experience the wordless Wisdoms.
True spiritual Wisdoms are ineffable…
There simply are no words that can portray such Wisdoms.

Sure,
One can gather information, learn some knowledge
and then put all that into earnest experience…
Then,
The brain will gain those ‘conventional’ wisdoms.

The Ultimate Spiritual Wisdoms…
Particularly involving the full fruition of Enlightenment,
goes far and beyond the body’s brain, mind and thinking.
Our True Self is not our body, brains, heart, ego,
or any body part or process of the body.

Only while abiding in the higher states of human consciousness…
Some traditions refer to as the “Jhana states”
developed during the very deep end of an earnest
“Insight meditation” Practice…
Where one leaves all association of being a limited ego body ‘self’…
Goes beyond the thinking mind…
It’s during these incredible meditation moments
that ‘one’ experientially gains these Wisdoms.
Yet,
While in those states…
There is no thinking, no contemplations…
Only after the session ends…
And the Parvastha ‘after glow’ slowly fades…
Hours or days later…
Can ‘one’ contemplate’ that experience.

This is becomes the beginning of the ‘effortless’ meditation of Insight.
The Wisdoms experienced are the precursors of full Enlightenment.
Even then,
Once fully Enlightened…
The ineffable Wisdoms will only be understood
by other Enlighten ones.
A master can only point towards where an aspirant could find their own….
Wisdoms.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
