Philosophy :: Curriculum :: Articles :: Street vs. Sport :: Aliveness :: Video

Aliveness is about the freedom to use whatever works in the moment. Right action at right time. Which is another name for true compassion. A freedom that is only fully felt when one is completely immersed in the present moment of now, and free of the burden of beliefs, which manifest as thoughts. A clear mind fully aware of reality as it is now, and operating with absolute synchronicity within time and space, that is the real beginning of Aliveness.

Letters we have received

Seminar

Thanks to everyone for their constant support. The only reason I bother to speak and preach ALIVENESS is because of e-mails like these that I receive everyday. Knowing that there are a few of you out there who do 'get it' is what keeps me going. - Matt Thornton

Note: On some e-mails we have chosen not to post the authors name. This is due to the nature of some of the letters, and the respect for privacy. If you see your e-mail here and would like your name posted, let us know. Also, if you see your e-mail here, and would like for us to remove it, let us know. In either case we will be happy to oblige.

Letters (there are a LOT of them!)
