THE PESSIMIST AND THE OPTIMIST
The Pessimist And The Optimist Pessimism: a belief that this world is as bad as it could be, or that evil will ultimately prevail over good. Optimism: that this world is the best of all possible worlds, and that good must ultimately prevail over evil in the universe. Two paths; the maintenance of good (positive) or evil (negative). A pessimist thinks that … Continue reading
GOODNESS IS WELL-BALANCED WELL-BEING
Goodness is Well-Balanced Well-Being Well-being is experienced in the present moment, through mindfulness. When we live through our memories, mindfulness is lost to a contest of ideas. Mindfulness is the quality of being consciously aware, through focusing on the present moment, … Continue reading
LETTING GO OF THE PAST
Letting Go Of The Past If we hang on to the past, nothing fresh will occur, and we will never break out of our karmic bubble. Bubbles can easily be burst, so we steer clear of anything that might seem … Continue reading
IF THIS IS OUR ONLY LIFE …
If This Is Our Only Life … If this is the only life that we have, what are we doing with this one, precious time? Our reality is pure consciousness – the essence of enlightenment – without which nothing can … Continue reading
BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW …
Better The Devil You Know … That’s what Buddhism is all about. 😀 Being free in the moment of seeing. The devil does not exist; it is simply our confusion, and our obsession with a self-image. When we (consciousness) realise … Continue reading
WHY KEEP IT SIMPLE?
Why Keep it Simple? Modern life is extremely complicated and wealth-consuming, and becomes all-absorbing. Spiritual matters are also extremely complicated and wealth-consuming, and become all-absorbing. Both temporal and spiritual matters rely on our guilt, fear and hope in order to … Continue reading

A LIFETIME OF FAILURE WAS A SUCCESS!
A Lifetime Of Failure Was A Success! A lifetime of failure was a success! Not a success in a worldly way, and nothing to do with the opinions of others. In fact, being disliked and ignored has helped 🙂 The … Continue reading
LET’S KEEP IT SIMPLE
Let’s Keep It Simple Sit for a moment. Relax. Be one with the senses and the elements … breathe air … see light … smell odour/scent … taste flavour … feel touch. These are our direct connection with the world, … Continue reading
THE ESOTERIC ISN’T IN A BOOK
The Esoteric Isn’t In A Book The written word is exoteric, available to be read by anyone. It is frozen knowledge from the past, and has no life to it. The esoteric is the direct experience of whatever occurs. It … Continue reading
TRAPPED IN SPACE
Trapped In Space Not realising that we are pure consciousness or empty cognisance, we become trapped in the space of our own reality through distraction. Consciousness, like space, never changes. Nothing created them; they just became cluttered. 😀 Through natural … Continue reading

INFORMATION EVERYWHERE … AND WISDOM?
Information Everywhere … And Wisdom? It is only when we question information that we start to sift out the knowledge gained through personal experience. We test it, and then we know. If we go further into the stillness of the … Continue reading
I’M OKAY WITH MY ANGER
I’m Okay With My Anger Anger, in the very first instant, illuminates the mind. Something is seen that doesn’t seem right and awareness brightens. This precious moment is called ‘mirror-like wisdom’. One of two things can happen in the moment … Continue reading
CONTEMPLATIVE ESSENCE
Contemplative Essence Contemplation: a place of sustained observation. Contemplative observation is our absolutely reality, resulting in wisdom, and manifesting in our relative reality as compassion. From this viewpoint, the world is seen as constant and compounded misinformation.

THE PERFECT BUSINESS MODEL = KEEP ‘EM UPDATING
The Perfect Business Model = Keep ’em Updating The perfect business model is getting people to update their toys, or their consciousness. Business and religions both want us to join their club – their gravy train – and that’s hard … Continue reading

MY KARMA IS WORRY
My Karma Is Worry Worry has been with me all my life. This worry isn’t overwhelming; it’s just seeing possible consequences of an action or inaction. Things have to be ‘repaired’, but which one first? Should I write, or not … Continue reading

ARE PEOPLE WHO TRUST THEMSELVES A NUISANCE?

HOW THE WORLD WAS WON
How The World Was Won The world was won by mediocracy. Mediocre: of only average quality; not very good. Mediocracy: a dominant class consisting of mediocre people, or a system in which mediocrity is rewarded: a mediocracy of successful careerists and yes-men. When we know our true nature, everything less is inferior. Except … Continue reading

LULLED INTO A FALSE REALM OF REALITY
Lulled Into A False Realm of Existence That’s us. We are lulled into doing things, and because we get so involved in doing these things, we talk about them as if we are experts. Experts in trivia. But trivia is … Continue reading
LOOK FOR YOUR SELF
Look For Your Self Truth is the absence of self. Look for your self. Describe this self. Self-image is an illusion. In pure awareness, there is nothing but pure awareness. Our reality is pure observation, without the idea of an … Continue reading

HOW MANY KNOW?
How Many Know? How many people know their (our) true nature? Some know about our true nature, but that doesn’t mean they know or experience it: it is still theory. How would we know that they know? 🙂 Well, first, we’d have to know … Continue reading

SCIENTISTS WANT TO PUT CONSCIOUSNESS INTO A MACHINE?

UNDERSTANDING PSYCHE
Understanding Psyche Psyche: via Latin from Greek psukhē ‘breath, life, soul’. Psyche is present before thought and the idea of a self-image. Psyche is consciousness itself, although there can be other interpretations. Once we adhere to an interpretation, however, we also create and maintain our psychological profile … Continue reading
DECEIVED BY OMISSION

PROSTRATING TO A PEDESTAL
Prostrating To A Pedestal Pedestal: the base for a statue. Putting someone on a pedestal: to think of someone as a perfect person with no faults. In Tibetan Buddhism, we call the teacher ‘Rinpoche’; the precious one. Other traditions give other titles, … Continue reading
