Welcome!

Blue featherMy name is David “Davidya” Buckland.

This site explores what it means to live life approaching, transitioning, and living in post-personal stages of development; what we often call enlightenment. These stages build on more familiar stages of personal development studied by psychology and biology.

I post articles as they arise, so please subscribe to receive notification of the latest.

This site began in 2007 and contains thousands of articles. During that time, my perspective has grown and I’ve changed how I see and describe our potential unfolding. This evolution continues. You won’t find a list of correct concepts or truths but ways of seeing the spiritual journey, oneself, and the world. Old articles don’t become wrong, I just add other perspectives. Use them to support your journey but don’t confuse a map with the road. Let your direct experience guide you.

And now, the latest blog posts…

Recently, I attended a talk on trauma from a Jungian perspective. It illustrated one of the big issues with how trauma has been discussed and treated. For one, it was mind-centric. More perhaps than Jung …

What is Embodied?

When I talk about the move here to more physically embody the opening, it’s useful to ask – what is being embodied? We can embody our identity, drama, and/or suffering. We can embody various levels …

Levels of Identity

I’ve spoken of the motivation to explore somatic healing so I can better embody the unfolding. I’ll be writing about what I mean by embody. I’ve also written about head, heart, & gut, the 3 …

The Parts of Trauma

Unresolved trauma is no small matter. It can affect our behaviour, our sense of self, our decision-making, our ability to fulfil desires, our spiritual embodiment, our emotions, and our health. Trauma isn’t just the impact …

Why Trauma?

By the title, I mean why the sudden interest in the topic here on the blog. There are several reasons for this. 1: healing has a key role in spiritual development. When I learned to …

Release and Regulation

I write a lot about emotional release in healing on this blog. But something I’ve not written much about is regulating the nervous system. That is, finding calm. The two go hand in hand when …

Update

As may be apparent from recent articles, I’ve become certified as a Trauma-Informed Coach. That’s lead into more advanced training in somatic healing. It’s become clear that this is partly to help physically embody the …
