Welcome!

My 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 over 2,000 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.

Soma in the Soma

With this year’s study of somatic therapy, I’ve realized I’ve been using the word “soma” in 2 different ways. Looking it up online, one finds a wild diversity of definitions for soma: the physical body, …
