Getting Used To Boredom Bored: feeling weary and impatient because one is unoccupied or lacks interest in one’s current activity. ‘Boredom’ is a misnomer. Merely being unoccupied or lacking interest does not equate with boredom. It is just coming to rest within inner peace. Bored? Then go … Continue reading →

One View, Many Expressions The one view is pure consciousness. We are all pure consciousness, but individual. If we were all ‘one’ then, when one person became enlightened, we would all become enlightened 🙂 This does not happen. We each … Continue reading →

Courage Is The First Step To Realising Consciousness The moment when we admit that we are not satisfied and are therefore suffering, we take our first step to the ultimate realisation of reality. If not, we remain in ignorance, believing … Continue reading →

The Science Of Spirituality Oh yes, spirituality is science – pure science. Science: the intellectual and practical study of the physical world through observation and experiment. From Latin scientia;‘know’. What is the point of the intellectual and practical study of the physical world through observation and experiment, when we don’t … Continue reading →

When Consciousness Is Deceived … When consciousness is deceived, we are deceived. Deception is everywhere. This is why the view of enlightenment is uncommon. Who talks about realisation of the nature of reality? We are so distracted that it never … Continue reading →

Some Days, I Feel Extremely Angry If we are not outraged about the response to global dictatorship by unelected plutocrats, then we are merely part of a confused, insecure herd. Historically, this dictatorship has always been a war on consciousness … Continue reading →

We Can Laugh When Things Are Obvious If things aren’t transparent and obvious to us, we don’t laugh because we take things – and ourselves – seriously. The world is being managed by fear, and this should be obvious to … Continue reading →

The Collapse In Our Morals Moral: knowing right from wrong. Whatever is beneficial to our collective mental & physical well-being, and whatever is harmful to our collective mental & physical well-being. The Buddha saw suffering, though he was not suffering. … Continue reading →

Gods And Fools “Might is right”? Those who want to be regarded as gods are fools; they assume might is right with no understanding of the reality that you cannot fool everyone. “You can fool all of the people some … Continue reading →

Have You Started Your Journey Yet? Our journey to realise our enlightened essence starts when we let go of where we are now, mentally speaking. It’s a metaphor for a path to where we actually are, right now. Where we … Continue reading →

Life Is Maintenance Life is either maintenance of pure consciousness – what we are – or maintenance of ignorance of pure consciousness – what we are not. One of these paths manifests skilful compassion.

Generating Complexity To Become Indispensable When we doubt ourselves, we feel vulnerable, and begin to look for a system to clear that doubt. Unfortunately, systems turn into organised religions with rituals and special terminology. That form can become complex and … Continue reading →

Complexity Breeds Confusion Complexity creates mystery, confusion and addiction. Once we realise our true essence, we are free from others’ complexities. Our simple essence is pure consciousness. Life is now our real teacher, enabling this realisation. Karma – the result … Continue reading →

The Effect Of Laziness Laziness produces inertia, indifference, ignorance, not knowing – but with much talking. Laziness is created from fear of the realisation that there may be more to us, and that we must make a real effort. This is … Continue reading →

Spiritual Ineptness Ineptness: having or showing no skill; clumsy. Better than doing pujas, try empathising with and listening to those with whom we disagree. Show your compassion. Falling into spiritual materialism is falling into cultural politics to maintain an image. If we do … Continue reading →
