Until We Acknowledge Suffering Until we acknowledge suffering, we will never realise the truth of suffering, or its cause. Why not? Because we are either satisfied with how things are now, or we cover up dissatisfaction with form. Form: a mould of ideas … Continue reading →

We Are Different, But Not In Essence We are all different in our understanding and confusion, but not in essence. Our problem is that we are indoctrinated with words and names, which causes conflict and division – and is meant to. “By … Continue reading →

Sharing Being When we realise what happiness is, and what life is all about,we want to share it.  This is not a theory;we are pure awareness. Others may not agree,but we still share.

Interaction Is Our Teacher Our path isn’t about what we know; that is the path of fame and gain. Our path is transforming information into wisdom – genuine experience – otherwise, we are doing Mara’s work.  It is only through … Continue reading →

The Vicious Cycle Of Boredom Boredom has two aspects:

Whatever Is Known Is The Past Whatever is known is the past.Knowing is now. Arrogance is thinking we know.Wisdom is now. It’s not what we know;it’s how we are that matters.

Surrounded By Mara Activity The news, media, people’s everyday comments … when was the last time you heard something worthwhile? Humans can create beautiful and clever things, but there comes a time in life when we have to make a … Continue reading →

What We Say Makes No Difference What we say makes no difference.How we are makes the difference.🙂

Only A Few In Heaven? What if there are only a few beings in heaven? So where are the rest?Here, swapping philosophies. 🙂 Hell is ignoring heaven, the pure state of mind.

The Path Of No Hardship Being aware is what we all do, but we are unaware of awareness itself. We are aware of things ‘out there’, and thoughts about things ‘out there’, but we’re rarely aware of awareness. This awareness … Continue reading →

Being Inspired We (consciousness) can be inspired by positivity. At a deeper level, we (consciousness) can also be inspired by negativity. It all depends on our understanding and capacity. When we’re in exoteric mode – seeker mode – we look … Continue reading →

Life Is A Test Life is a test to see if we’re working properly. The test: Do we function in clarity, or in pride and fear?

What If We See The World Differently? Is that anti-social?  The Buddha saw that life has meaning. Introverts look inwards; extroverts look out. Are introverts anti-social? We live in confused times.

How Do We Know When We’re Right? We are the only ones to know rightness, not intellectually, but in actuality. We can’t rely on anyone else to say, “You’re right.” They can only say, “I found that also.”  The indication of rightness … Continue reading →

Every Experience Points Back To Pure Consciousness Every experience points back to pure consciousness.That’s ‘it’. It isn’t the experience that is ultimate truth;that which experiences is the ultimate truth.

No Words, No Conflict Of course, we need a few words to get through life, – the same as we need a little ego –but using words to promote ego only leads to conflict. Addiction to words = addiction to conflict. … Continue reading →

Intellectualisation Never Finds Inner Peace Intellectualisation never finds inner peace, only conflict. We become a type – armchair philosophers dwelling in the fabric of the mind. If we don’t practise and experience, we’re in danger of mixing metaphors. This causes … Continue reading →

What Does One Do When One Is Right? That isn’t to say that others are wrong. Things are just right for an individual, and their set of questions. This isn’t ego as we feel confident in the experience of pure … Continue reading →

Bored And Dissatisfied? Bored and dissatisfied?Good.What is presented as ‘life’ is futile diligence. Religion ties us up in a neat package,and we no longer face the rawness of life.We become lazy. Reality is direct sensory perception without concepts.

People Like Me Shouldn’t Know We assume that people who look the part are special, and if we believe, we can be special too. The true route to enlightenment isn’t through belief,it is realising why we are inthe mess and confusion we are … Continue reading →

Buddha & Mara We are both Buddha and Mara: clarity and confusion.Some more, some less. We dwell in a form and mind in keeping with our levels of realisation and delusion.Our Mara side thinks it’s here to entertain itself – … Continue reading →
