Enlightenment Isn’t ‘Up There’ Enlightenment isn’t ‘up there’. It’s right here, right now. We only have to uncover the elaborations which add complexity and doubt, and divide wholeness.

Handing Over Control To Others It’s your life, not theirs. If you choose to live their life, you have to accept the consequences. They don’t.

Sorting Your Self Out We may not like what we do or say; we mean well but this well-meaning doesn’t express itself properly, and we become unable to communicate in the way we’d like. This can be even more frustrating … Continue reading →

God & God There are two paths: one is a belief in an external God the creator, while the other is our supreme being of pure consciousness, which is the wisdom of natural law. A belief in God requires intercessors, … Continue reading →

Your Mind Is Lying To You All that is in our mind is memories of information; this is not actual reality. The mind is a filter that we impose on every moment. This information that we have gathered is our … Continue reading →

If We Want To Be Special, We Lose In the cult of celebrity, we trust in an inner circle to feel special, rather than relying on ordinary, direct experience. When we defer our reality to others, we lose. Lost in … Continue reading →

Humans Are Natural Addicts We can all be enthusiastic devotees. Evil and Goodness both know this. Can Evil and Goodness both be addictive? Addiction is an intense urge to engage in behaviour providing immediate sensory rewards. This is obvious when considering evil, but what of goodness? They are the same; we … Continue reading →
