Making Something Out Of Nothing The essence of consciousness is emptiness – that’s all we need to know. By making consciousness into something, we fall into forgetting and become divided from this reality. Relating to some thing is duality – … Continue reading →

We Do Not Have A Life We do not have a life: we are life! We do not have consciousness: we are consciousness. As long as we believe that we have life and consciousness, we will be confused about our … Continue reading →
