Can Inspiration Become Entertainment? We may get – and then seek out – nice feelings of bliss, clarity or absence of thoughts. But it’s never enough and we want more, and thus become attached to these experiences. In Tibetan, the word … Continue reading →

Spirituality Is A Science And Not A Belief Spirituality is a science, and not a belief. As children, are made to believe that we must believe. Spirituality is pure consciousness: we are pure consciousness and without that, we wouldn’t know … Continue reading →

Questions Open The mind. Statements Close It. Statements programme the mind, while questions release us from that programming. This is how we, in actuality, realise the path to enlightenment, rather than merely acquiring answers.

Lost. Found. Realised. When we do not know our true nature, then we are lost in a world of unknowing, and so we busy ourselves in life activities. When we find out about our true nature, then we are on … Continue reading →

Are We Complicit In Overthrowing Truth … Are we complicit in overthrowing truth by adopting a culture of ideas? Absolute truth is that which is always present, and that is pure consciousness. Anything that pure consciousness observes can never be … Continue reading →

Fed Up With The Feeding Frenzy? We’re deliberately fed provocative nonsense day in and day out. This feeds and turns our small desires and aversions into exaggerated ones. Those who feed us also feed off our reactions, as we feed … Continue reading →

Everything Is Overkill Everything is overkill. We have learnt how to squeeze nature. Elaboration upon elaboration. Distraction upon distraction. Confusion upon confusion. Ignorance upon ignorance. Suffering upon suffering. This is no way to live. Our origin is simply pure awareness. … Continue reading →

Transferring Consciousness Into The Future Redirecting our mind into the future becomes a substitute for dealing with whatever is happening where we are now. Transferring our attention away from the present moment to something we hope for in the future not … Continue reading →

The World Mind Maze Something is needed to wake us up. It is then our responsibility to stay awake by seeing the dilemma we are in. Eloquent commentaries may be inspiring and we become euphoric, but the reality we seek … Continue reading →

Can We Wake Others? This is a delicate matter, and one I’m still learning about. We can inform others, but ‘waking’ means going deeper, and they may not be ready for that, in the sense of not being able to … Continue reading →

Are Law and Humanity Incompatible? Law: something laid down or fixed. Humanity: the quality of being humane; benevolent and well meaning; kindness. Once we are separated from our humanity, we become reliant on laws. Enter the new world order.

Old Age, ‘New Age’ The ultimate teaching is dropping the realisation of our true nature of pure awareness. If we do not drop, we become attached.

The ‘I’ Needs To be Challenged This ‘I’ is merely consciousness clinging to ideas. The indicator of empathetic consciousness is compassion, and compassion is challenging to the ‘I’, the ego. Compassion does not accept rubbish. We Need To Exorcise Our … Continue reading →

Did We Evolved To Be Made Monkeys Out Of? Our monkey minds cannot keep still. Why is this? It is because our lives have speeded up. Monkey minds do monkey tricks to make money for monkey business. The problem is … Continue reading →

What We Don’t Know Rules Us We all want to know things that we think we don’t know, believing that this gives meaning to life! The enchantment of belief feeds our longing for purpose. This puts us in a inferior … Continue reading →

Thinking And Thoughts Thinking is the process of reasoning and questioning. Thoughts are the conclusions. Thinking is now. Thoughts are from the past. To think, we need a clear mind: in this way, we can function properly in the world. If we … Continue reading →

We Do Not Arrive At Enlightenment … … as we never left! Enlightenment here means realising or acknowledging our true nature of pure consciousness, and that which obscures it; the ideas that we create about our self. Any other definition … Continue reading →

Is Our Intelligence Working Against Us? Blinkered by futile diligence, we don’t notice that we are the product. Because we rely on outer knowledge and outer conditions to enhance our lives, we find ingenious ways – with the help of … Continue reading →

Joyful Confusion?! The moment that we recognise we are confused is very significant. That which recognises is not confused. If we don’t know something, that’s okay; we can find out – or not – but, either way, we can realise … Continue reading →

Insight is Wisdom Accurate and deep understanding Insight: Awareness by a mentally ill* person that their mental experiences are not based in external reality. The term ‘mentally ill’ is often used as a spurious or false statement in the popular media, suggesting a crazy or insane person, while the dictionary reveals a … Continue reading →
