About

Welcome to In 2 Deep.
To, Too, and Two are 3 words that sound the same but have different meanings (homophones). Deep or Diip is also a Sanskrit word meaning light or shine. The name is thus a play on meanings.
The banner image above is a playful mixture of symbols representing Agni (start of creation) and Hiranya Garbha (golden egg – the seed and form of the universe). The blue feather is an ancient symbol for truth as the blue is actually an optical illusion. The fish represents this observer.
My professional background is in IT: web application design & development and helping companies make technology choices. My other blog ForNow reflects my interest in science and technology subjects but overlaps this one a little. I recently earned an MA in Vedic Science, reflecting the interests of this blog. I’ve been working off and on writing a book related to this.
I began meditation (TM) decades ago. In the mid-1970′s, I went on a long retreat to learn to teach meditation and deepen my practice. After months of clearing, I began witnessing full-time, then cosmic perception began with a bang. Maharishi verified the experiences and said there would be much more. But I had not yet woken (shifted from ego to Atman). In the ensuing years, more and more opened to perception while I continued to meditate but the focus moved to being a householder, raising a family and pursing a career.
In the mid-2000′s, I left my company and a great deal else left as well. Concurrently, spirituality shifted again to the forefront and I reconnected with a number of old friends. A few, it turned out, had awoken. A little feedback and darshan (resonance) and Self woke up to itself here as well. Probably because of the long witnessing, the next couple of stages came quickly. Dozens of others I knew switched as well, broadening my understanding of the process.
It was during the fall of that key year, 2007, that I started this blog. As such, it reflects my own process and things that arose in myself and those I knew. I’ve found writing and journaling a useful medium for processing the shifts underway. That process of growth and integration continues and I expect the sharing to as well.
If you’d like more background to understand the articles and terminology, please see Key Posts under Pages on the right.
The name I sign with is a nickname I was given by an awake friend soon after I shifted. We later discovered that in Hebrew David-ya means beloved of God. In Sanskrit, Da-vidya means giver of knowledge. I put the name in the posts because some articles are ‘lifted’ without a link back and some people search the name to find the blog. Other images on this page represent other older nicknames.
I hope you enjoy what is shared. Subscribe under Welcome if you’d like automatic updates of new articles.

wonderful blog…….i will return soon
Hello Davidya
my good fortune today to find your blogs here..I am also consciously on the pathless path so I found much of the subject matter you have written about here extremely nourishing.. Also being a keen student of Adyashanti made the reading all the more relevant for me. I was so inspired I signed up for a site here myself..
thank you..christosrisen
You’re welcome. Have fun with it and let me know your address when you’re ready
Nice blog!
Thanks!
A wonderful, aways uplifting, place to visit!
Thank you. Always nice to know I’m not talking to myself (laughs)
I had your blog saved in my favourites and I just felt like visiting it at this moment. I understand where you are and also feel within a similiar motion of being. I too have also been on the “spiritual” path for decades and every so often I get back on track to my true nature, and express myself in writing. Regards to you
Hi Pat. Thanks for the feedback.
You may find that its all on track. There is nothing that is not part of the motion of being. It’s just that sometimes we can take a moment to stop and look more closely. i find writing a useful tool for bringing clarity to what arises within.
Nice blog. Let me know when you have more thoughts to share.
Hello Davidya. Lovely to hear back from you.
I also find writing a useful tool to bring clarity to what arises within. I have always felt free in expressing myself through creativity, be it writing or art and I feel that is where I can find the stillness in that peace of expression.
Lovely exchanging with you, and I appreciate your comments.
By the way in response to how ‘you are as Pat, Jim etc..’ I chose the name as it is non identifiable, as there is no character or personality that comes with it. Felt at peace when I chose it, and it’s a shortened version of Patricia my middle name.
Interesting. I chose Davidya partly as it was a nickname with layered meaning. But it was also a little more unique name as I notice some users search by the handle used. Simpler than the blog name, I suppose.
I also tend to put the handle in the posts as I’ve found them showing up on pirate blogs with someone elses name. This may be a little of why people search back here by the handle.
Davidya ~ Good evening! I had the good fortune to “stumble” (which implies falling, and falling gives us the opportunity to have a different perspective, right?) onto this website. The next time I visit, it will be by intention! I got here through the Dreamhealer forum on Google. Thank you for providing a place for people to share thoughtful insights on spirituality – what a breath of fresh air! I look forward to the next time!
Peace, Light, Healing to you,
Eagle Bear Woman
Thanks for the feedback, Eagle Bear Woman. Glad you enjoyed the visit.
Nothing happens without the reason, Synchronicity strikes again… since the time i have started connecting to my inner being, i am coming across souls sharing my perspective….Glad to have found this blog. Follow your bliss !!!
Hi Saishia
Synchronicity is easy to explain. The world arises from awareness and intention. So when we give our attention to something, naturally similar things will arise in our experience. It shows you’re doing well too.
It’s great to find people in a common place on the journey. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Davidya,
