Jumping To Conclusions

The problem with jumping to conclusions about pure consciousness is that we can come to an intellectual belief that we are pure consciousness, but is it experienced? The assumption is a good start, but then it is we who have to prove it, in the silent stillness of meditation. That is where it is first experienced, and then acknowledged in daily life, where we are aware of our true reality behind every occasion and relationship.

In meditation, we are aware of being aware, of being conscious. There comes a moment of subtle vacancy – nothing happening – but we are still aware. That moment of nothing happening is pure consciousness, which is what we are.

The outcome turns our world upside down, and our conduct and behaviour change because we realise that everyone is pure consciousness, but doesn’t recognise it.

The result is empathy – knowing what it’s like not to know. Empathy cannot be an act because true empathy shows. This is challenging as we now have to learn skilful kindness that is direct and has many faces.

The ‘act’ is the main reason ‘spiritual’ people drive me nuts!

Don’t believe what anyone says,
but use it as an indicator of ‘something’.

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
Realisation has to be acknowledged at every occasion.
