Our Problem Is Exaggeration

We exaggerate our self
by identifying with something other than what we are.

The human body and mind are capable of great feats and creativity, and that’s how we’re taken over, mesmerised by the exotic, and fascinated by anything different.

Exotic: Greek exōtikos ‘foreign’, from exō ‘outside’.

The exoteric is whatever is outside consciousness, and distracts us; the internet is full of what looks like the esoteric – the mysteries – but these are actually exoteric. The esoteric is within consciousness.

Esoteric: from Greek esōterikos,‘within’.

Be Buddhist without being “Buddhist”
Be consciousness without “being” consciousness.

The nature or essence of a person has no display.
