There Is Nothing New

We will never hear anything new about our true reality of pure consciousness; there can only be a new understanding for each individual. We all live in layers of mental fixations and confusion which have to be cut through, and whatever we think is never the answer to achieving satisfaction. 

Mental gymnastics only create more conflict and suffering.

The question of our ultimate reality is a question with no answer, as pure observation is the ultimate answer that clarifies all confusion. It’s the pure observation that is the answer. Frankly, few of us get this as our minds are so indoctrinated with muddled stories that even hearing the truth of our reality can’t get through. All we hear, when people speak, is repeated stories. 

When we see, hear or read something, instead of resting in an open mind, we refer to memories that cloud any further investigation or anything we then hear. This is why most of us cannot see the truth. How often do we say something, and the listener replies, “Oh, I heard it was …” and then go on to quote a story?

Our path is not about repeating this and that, which merely maintains confusion, the hall mark of which is being defensive, and rationalising. Our path is undoing our confusion. 

The truth has always been within.

There is no Buddha out there.
There is no God out there.

We will never find the Buddha out there.
We will never find God out there.

These are illusions that make us look in the opposite direction.

Ultimate reality has always been within,
but is obscured by words and names.

The truth is beyond any words and names.
