Welcome!

My name is David “Davidya” Buckland.

The spiritual journey brings rich rewards but also deep challenges. Our unhealed trauma can confront us. We may have mysterious experiences that threaten our sense of self and the world. Our friends can fall away when we no longer relate to them. Many changes can come on the path. But many benefits, too.

If you have questions about your experience, the nature of reality, consciousness, and the journey of life itself, you’ll find lots of articles here. I explore what it means to live life approaching, transitioning, and living in post-personal stages of development; what we often call enlightenment.

I also offer guidance if you need personal support. 

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

This site began in 2007 and contains over 2,400 articles. These are not correct concepts or “truth” but ways of seeing the spiritual journey, oneself, and the world. Use them to support your journey, but don’t confuse a map with the road. Let your direct experience guide you.

Story Follows State

“Story follows State.” This is a term from polyvagal theory. What it means is the state of our nervous system drives our perception and that drives our narratives. In the most obvious example, when we …

More on the Records

Since writing the first article on the Akashic Records, more has unfolded. I’m nowhere near a place where I can offer it as a service and it’s not clear if I ever will directly. But …
