Simple Presence: The Art for the Busy

Heather Ralston spent seventeen years searching for a solution to overwhelming suffering before it unexpectedly presented itself amidst illness, isolation, financial turmoil, and overwhelming conflict. She realized that if she had not mistaken the journey to be a spiritual one, misunderstood the many transcendent teachings to be overly simplistic and out of touch, and attempted to attach deep insights to herself as achievement badges, the journey would have been rather short and direct. Where she had looked outside to bolster the sense of self, one could choose to take a path with much less suffering if pointed in the right direction and willing to accept these pointers.

With the current state of things, it is high time humanity took the direct path. "One Thing at a Time" does just that. A life's compilation of lessons learned, framed to work with the formidable mind capable of dodging the truth even when swimming in it, this work is for those who ask questions, doubt, and deflect. This truth requires no faith nor subscription, but the willingness to sit still with what is found inside and out, to see things as they really are.

The journey that Heather Ralston embarked on was not a straightforward one. She mistakenly believed it to be a spiritual quest and misinterpreted the transcendent teachings as being overly simplistic and disconnected from reality. Furthermore, she attempted to attach her own deep insights to herself as badges of achievement, which only served to prolong the suffering she was trying to overcome.

However, Ralston eventually realized that if she had not made these missteps, the journey could have been much shorter and more direct. Instead of looking outward to bolster her sense of self, she could have chosen a path that involved much less suffering, provided she was willing to accept the guidance and pointers offered along the way.

In the present-day, Ralston's experiences have led her to the conclusion that it is high time for humanity to take the direct path. Her work, "One Thing at a Time," is a compilation of the lessons she has learned throughout her life. This work is designed to resonate with the formidable mind, which is often capable of avoiding the truth even when it is readily available.

The essence of Ralston's message is that the truth she presents requires no faith or subscription. Instead, it demands the willingness to sit still, observe, and see things as they truly are, both within and without. This approach allows for a more profound understanding of the human experience, unencumbered by the distractions and delusions that can often cloud our perception.
