Don’t Fight For What You Believe Don’t fight for what you believe, as it only causes division. Belief is accepting something as true without evidence. Reading something and saying it’s truth or not is only belief. Therefore belief has no … Continue reading →

Learning To Live With Crap: The Residue Of Ignorance We are definitely not going to change the people who indulge in beliefs of some sort. Every time someone talks, those beliefs reveal themselves … “Oh, I just heard on the … Continue reading →

Where Do We Get Our Information From? “If you don’t read a newspaper, you are uninformed. If you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.” – Mark Twain We have to read between the lines; in looking for or discovering … Continue reading →

Do Buddhists Get Offended? Do Buddhists get offended? Er … yes. Buddhists are people too. 🙂 Why would anyone be called a “precious one”? Because someone said they were? Don’t be offended at this question. To question is to want … Continue reading →

The World Used To Be Crazy … The world used to be crazy… now, it’s scary. In the past, mass behaviours were slow to develop, but nowadays, the process of mimicking others is changing fast, and causing great confusion. As … Continue reading →

The Truth Cannot Be Hidden Forever Truth cannot be hidden forever because truth is the consciousness that is always watching. When people realise that they are the truth, the way and the light, no one can ever pull the wool over … Continue reading →

Why Make What Is Natural Complicated? We are pure consciousness. Why make something so natural and beautiful into something so complicated and elitist? Even through reasoning (a rare event), we can realise that we are pure consciousness. That’s if we … Continue reading →

Formula; The Unchanging Nature Of Nature I’ve written before about the three unchangeables: space, consciousness and formula. Formula: from Latin, diminutive of forma ‘shape, mould’. Formula is how everything takes shape. It is the nature of everything. We may think of nature as … Continue reading →

Jumping To Conclusions The problem with jumping to conclusions about pure consciousness is that we can come to an intellectual belief that we are pure consciousness, but is it experienced? The assumption is a good start, but then it is … Continue reading →

We Are Incomplete Without Meditation In the ‘normal’ run of life we panic, and exhaust ourselves, falling into vacancy. Simple meditation is sitting in silence, witnessing the distraction (panic). Gradually, we calm down, and relax by letting go of exhausting … Continue reading →

Awakening To Our Enmeshment We don’t realise how deeply enmeshed we are in concepts – even righteous ones – where we feel morally right or justified. This what we are seeking liberation from. Our relative reality (the way we relate to … Continue reading →

Fear Stops Us Being Honest Fear stops us being honest about how we really feel. This is why we cannot communicate with one another; we talk, but it doesn’t go very far as we skirt around issues. Perhaps in the … Continue reading →

The Ability To Understand The ability to understand doesn’t come from mantras or scholastic study; both of these merely focus the mind with intention. Understanding comes from realising that that which rests within silent awareness is our reality – that … Continue reading →

Who Or What Do You Believe? This is the most important – and also idiotic – question possible. It’s tantamount to saying, “Who or what do you accept without proof?” Your life depends on the answer, and ignoring the question … Continue reading →

The Real Teaching Is Within The real teaching is within, and never ‘out there’. Out there is only second-hand generalisation, organisation, institutionalisation … with lots of long-winded words 🙂 The teaching within has no words.

Is It True Or Not? Just reading something and identifying with it won’t do. We have to reflect and contemplate with an unbiased eye. That, in fact, is the answer we seek. It’s not wrong to question a statement. This … Continue reading →

Dream State v Awakened State When we merely repeat what we have heard or read, we live in our mind’s dream state. In the raw (uncooked) moment now, we wake up and wonder, “What is this?” = awakening possibilities.

Realising Anything Is Shock Realisation means change has occurred. Knowing about something isn’t the same as realising it. Fixation Is Addiction What we see in others is but a reflection. Thinking There Is Only One Way That is narrow-minded. Others’ … Continue reading →

More Complexity = More Reliance Everything in the world has become more elaborate than is necessary. When spirituality becomes complicated, we may hear words, but do we experience them? I speak as one who has sat through decades of lectures … Continue reading →

Ego’s Nest – The Mind When we (consciousness) become caught up in concepts – abstract ideas brought together – we build a confused construct in the mind that we think of as ‘home’ for our self. We identify with this … Continue reading →
