Beyond The Basics

Our original reality is pure consciousness; there is nothing beyond this basic truth. Anything added to this is an embellishment and a distraction – a piece of theatre, and something to behold.

Theatre: from Greek theatron, from theasthai ‘behold’.

Once we personally realise the ultimate truth that we are pure consciousness, we know what isn’t true, and is just a string-along.

Knowing we are all individual pure consciousness, and realising that most are ignorant of this absolute truth, compassion arises. There is nothing more advanced than true, compassionate understanding. This is the way of a Bodhisattva. It’s what scholars and the religious miss, as they obsess about details.

Our level of understanding creates our conduct. We do not need to follow the eightfold path, as we are doing it automatically. Understanding doesn’t require discipline.

Anything beyond the basics is another’s culture.
We have all the basics we need in our culture.
