Walking the Forest Path: Volume 2 is a collection of transmissions from the ceremonial space, delving deeper into the wisdom of the Forest Path that is introduced in Volume 1. This volume focuses on themes that arose organically from Jaya's teachings: light and shadow; love and compassion; no separation; truth and illusion; silence, spaciousness, and stillness; the mind; infinity; leaving the known; integration; and live Q&A. These writings are born of profound presence when Jaya is in a room full of people, the words themselves arriving spontaneously when moved. Jaya's practice is to meet people exactly where they are, speaking to the collective in a way that somehow feels intimate and personally addressed. As a reader rather than a listener, you are invited to attune not only to the words themselves, but to the presence behind them, and to discover that same place of presence within yourself.

We all found ourselves here. I hope that's a good thing. I trust that it's good for you. That it lifts you up to continue finding that place inside of yourself, even despite the difficulties. Finding the good direction to go in means that no matter how many times you spin around, no matter how many times you fall down, you remember so clearly-more clearly than anything inside of yourself-which way is the right way.
And sometimes you get confused. Sometimes you doubt. If you come back to that place, if you come from that place, in that place, and go towards that place, there is no doubt, because in this world it is easy to get sidetracked. There are many, many paths, but the only path, the real path, the spiritual path, is the one in which you turn inwards and find your source. That's it.
