LONG-TERM SUBLIMINAL REACTIONS
Long-Term Subliminal Reactions It’s amazing how many non-theistic people say, “Jesus!” or “Oh my God!” when something suddenly happens. What gets in, stays in, unless we are aware of it 🙂

THE NONSENSE IN OUR MIND
The Nonsense In Our Mind Where did it come from? To deal with the nonsense in our mind, we first have to recognise it, and how it got there. What is nonsense? Irrelevant information about culture, society and politics which creates the … Continue reading
‘I’ IS A FICTION, AND A MISDIRECTION
‘I’ Is A Fiction, And A Misdirection There is a trap in the English language which we all fall into that reinforces the idea of self. That word is ‘I’, which comes from the Latin word, ‘ego’. In consciousness-awareness terms, … Continue reading

WHAT IF ENLIGHTENMENT IS NOT AS IT IS PORTRAYED?
What If Enlightenment Is Not As It Is Portrayed? Humans are extremely clever, and extremely stupid; both states are distractions. What if enlightenment is merely understanding, experiencing and realising the fundamental reality of our natural being, of just being aware … Continue reading

WE DON’T WANT TO BE TAKEN IN
We Don’t Want To Be Taken In All beings are perfect in essence but, through ignorance of this reality, we became embodied in a form, being taken in by the measure of our uncontrolled fixations and emotions. We can see … Continue reading

WHAT IS PRACTICE?
What Is Practice? Practice is training in remembering that, before we are human, we are non-dual consciousness, and aware of illusions. When we train like this, we become practitioners who learn from life’s experiences of the unity of opposites. When … Continue reading
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE STUPIDITY
Never Underestimate Stupidity Never underestimate how much stupidity there is in the world. Enlightened beings are walking around everywhere, but don’t know it. When evidence beyond ‘normal’ thinking is provided, stupidity asserts itself because of a stagnant view in a … Continue reading

SYMBOLS ARE ONLY A REPRESENTATION
Symbols Are Only A Representation Symbols are only a representation and not the real thing. It’s a trap we all fall into. Symbols are ‘brand awareness’, when the brain lights up before consciousness is aware of it. Symbols are therefore … Continue reading
WE KNOW MORE THAN WE THINK
We Know More Than We Think Whatever we think is not the truth, and that is the conundrum we live in. It is our limited thinking that inhibits us from knowing everything that we need to know. Knowing everything? When … Continue reading
AWARE OF BEING AWARENESS
Aware Of Being Awareness Being aware of being awareness is a subtle state of being. The subtlest state is realising we are pure awareness. Awareness has no name; it is individual consciousness. Calling this something creates an identity, a group … Continue reading
WE DIS+COVER WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE
We Dis+cover What Has Always Been There The enlightened essence of all sentient beings merely needs re+cognition. We dis+cover what has always been there. Racing around like hungry ghosts, looking for where it’s at, we are where it’s at already. … Continue reading
MEDITATION IS JUST BEING AWARE OF AWARENESS
Meditation Is Just Being Aware of Awareness When more people meditate, the world will change for the better. At the moment, people are all about ‘me-and-what-I-know’. This limits understanding of an infinite reality. Just being aware can be at any … Continue reading
THE POINTLESSNESS OF PROTEST
The Pointlessness Of Protest Protest merely maintains the existing structure. When we protest, we activate, and promote division: “We can’t let them win!”? Either way, ‘they’ win, by the maintenance of the status quo, which refers to the current state of social structure or values. This policy … Continue reading

DEMOCRACY IS AN ILLUSION

ADDICTION TO INFORMATION
Addiction To Information Evil is that which obscures our reality and, by doing so, causes harm. This happens through being addicted to enthralling information, arousing insatiable curiosity. All information creates a formation in the mind. It’s a form of hypnosis, … Continue reading

NO OFF SWITCH
No Off Switch Most people cannot turn their self off. If we cannot switch off, we find no peace. When, in meditation, we do switch off, we come to stillness. The silent awareness of consciousness. Short moments many times.

PRE-BUNKING IS MIND CONTROL
