We Should Never Assume That We’re Talking To Sane People

People look sane until they start speaking, and then they reveal what’s in their minds.
We may think, “Surely there must be more! Perhaps they talk about reality at home?” 🙂

For over fifty years, I’ve been involved in ‘spiritual’ groups, and it was the same then. All one hears is dogma – do this, do this, do that. Dogma is a formula, a belief held definitively and without the possibility of reform. 
Dogma: from the ancient Greek  – opinion, belief, judgement.

Reform isn’t about changing the words; it’s about personal experience of the meaning of those words, where we don’t just repeat them, we live them. Compassion is often spoken about, but rarely lived. Words create feelings – a duality, which is up for interpretation. Experience is non-duality where there is no form, just essence – pure awareness.

Duality is making a big deal of everything we see.
Non-duality is just seeing.

We are accountable for our every word and action = karma.
