Captivated By Stories

We are captivated by art, music, films, books, news, religion, sport, science, politics, conversations … all telling stories about the past. It’s a mental prison that we’re proud to repeat.

Consciousness captured, we are a constant audience. As long as our attention is secured, we will never realise that consciousness has been mesmerised by being either vacant or occupied. This denies us freedom and natural wisdom.

Through meditation and the pointing out instruction, we will realise that our true reality is pure empty consciousness, beyond all those stories in our mind which write our daily script.

We need courage not to repeat the past.
Courage: the seat of feelings, from Latin, cor ‘heart’.
