Thinking And Consciousness

Whatever and whenever we think, consciousness – pure consciousness – is already present. We merely have to recognise this, and realise the significance. It sounds so obvious when we say it, but it’s what we ignore in favour of our thoughts, our memories, not realising that it is these thoughts that wind us up.

This is the difference between dark and light, hell and heaven. Our thoughts are the problem as they are memories – the fixed script that is the dream-state to which we constantly refer. When we live in our dream-state, we cannot communicate as we just project memories at each other. This mind-state, or ego, is not a monster; it is our teacher.

As long we fall for interesting things, we will never awaken to what is actually taking place. In fact, we hardly need to think. When hitting a nail with a hammer, we don’t think about it; we are aware and naturally adjust. Writing this article is merely a matter of describing what is taking place.

We use the words ‘religious’ and ‘spiritual’, but it’s all about consciousness that cannot be found as it’s what we are. The effect of words is just an add-on to that which is indescribable. When realised through meditation of just being aware, we suddenly acknowledge that there is only consciousness present, which is pure consciousness.

We cannot think about this, only realise it.
