Emergencewith Leroy “Roy” Dingle

Who taught you
how to think?

Some beliefs arrive before we know how to question them. Emergence begins when we become curious about what we carry.

On Sullivan’s Island the tide goes out twice a day and shows you what the water was covering.

What we carry was handed to us.

Family, faith, and community give us our first answers. Many of them serve us well. Some we hold without ever asking where they came from.

Emergence is Roy Dingle’s account of noticing the difference, and an invitation to notice it in your own life. You may recognize something familiar, disagree with a conclusion, or find a question of your own. Each can be a beginning.

Book Two, the practice of inquiry

The Awakening of Consciousness

What happens when a familiar belief no longer fits? Memory, identity, and the opening Roy calls the GAP.

Audiobooks

Listen on your walk, your commute, your porch.

The new audiobooks will be sold here as downloads for your phone or computer. Each purchase will include both an MP3 set that plays anywhere and an M4B file with chapters for audiobook apps.

The GAP

How do you know what you know?

The GAP is the space between a belief and the moment you question it. Take one everyday belief through four questions and keep what you find. Nothing you write leaves your screen.
