Welcome to the Home of The Ten Crutches Podcast

A “crutch” is symbolic of something used temporarily for support as one heals what is “broken” (our ability to live easily and deeply in the present.)

What are the Ten Crutches?

There is no such thing as “the past.”

There is no such thing as “the future.”

All “things” (and “events”) are the same.

All “things” (and “events”) are different.

You will never find “it” outside of you.

You will never find “it” inside of you.

You are one with everything evil.

You are one with everything good.

You will never really know.

Your senses are the gates to the present moment.

The Ten Crutches Podcast is my attempt to help people with the challenge of being a human. I try avoid issues that people fight about, the surface conflicts, like who has the right opinion about this or that. I want to go deep, diving way down into issues we all share. What are the conditions that make it difficult to be present? How can we address them?

The book that inspired the podcast: Ten Crutches For Walking In The Present is available for free download.

The book is a collection of thoughts and practices and attitudes. These will (hopefully!) help you engage more fully in the present moment.

As I mentioned above, a “crutch” is symbolic of something used temporarily for support as you heal what is “broken” (our ability to live easily and deeply in the present.)

I believe we all could use some help to exist where and when we actually are. The book and The Ten Crutches Podcast are my best effort to offer what I have in the “being present” department.
