The Recipe For Disaster Ignoring whatever infiltrates our mind.

Why Do We See Things Differently? Everyone’s pure perception is the same. An apple or a familiar name is placed in front of us, and immediately, we acknowledge what or who it is – without words. This is pure consciousness. … Continue reading →

Books can never tell you how it tastes. We may hear about consciousness, but do we experience it? If milk isn’t churned, we will never get butter. Likewise, if the mind is not agitated, we will never see how it … Continue reading →

Machines Can’t Do That If we explore our mind, we know how our mind works. We are no longer merely mechanical automata, just perceiving and reacting. When we decide to sit in silent meditation (machines can’t do that), we see … Continue reading →

We Live In A Psychological Trap We live in a psychological trap of beliefs, accepting everything without proof. We use the word ‘believe’ as if it means ‘to know’, and that is the trap. If we believe, we don’t know. … Continue reading →

What Is The Proof Of The Buddha’s Enlightenment? Enlightenment is the realisation of the truth of our reality, and whatever obscures this. We don’t have to delve into the past to realise our true reality, as the proof is right … Continue reading →

Why Keep it Simple? Modern life is extremely complicated and wealth-consuming, and becomes all-absorbing. Spiritual matters are also extremely complicated and wealth-consuming, and become all-absorbing. Both temporal and spiritual matters rely on our guilt, fear and hope in order to … Continue reading →

Trapped In Space Not realising that we are pure consciousness or empty cognisance, we become trapped in the space of our own reality through distraction. Consciousness, like space, never changes. Nothing created them; they just became cluttered. 😀 Through natural … Continue reading →

Contemplative Essence Contemplation: a place of sustained observation. Contemplative observation is our absolutely reality, resulting in wisdom, and manifesting in our relative reality as compassion. From this viewpoint, the world is seen as constant and compounded misinformation.

The Perfect Business Model = Keep ’em Updating The perfect business model is getting people to update their toys, or their consciousness. Business and religions both want us to join their club – their gravy train – and that’s hard … Continue reading →

Influencers Influence Influencers … Influences influence influences, who influence us. We in turn influence others. This is a meme at work – an element of cultural behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation. TV, the media, films, our chit-chat – all … Continue reading →

My Karma Is Worry Worry has been with me all my life. This worry isn’t overwhelming; it’s just seeing possible consequences of an action or inaction. Things have to be ‘repaired’, but which one first? Should I write, or not … Continue reading →

Contemplative Essence Contemplation: a place of sustained observation. Contemplative observation is our absolutely reality, resulting in wisdom, and manifesting in our relative reality as compassion. From this viewpoint, the world is seen as constant and compounded misinformation.

Are People Who Trust Themselves A Nuisance? Are people who trust themselves a nuisance? Do people think that truth stops at a guru? Is religion institutionalised guilt? Have we adopted a persona? Do we have to use cautious language? It … Continue reading →

Should We Be More Skeptical?  Just accepting whatever we are told is plain daft! Don’t trust anyone who expects you to believe what they say to be true. Test it for yourself. Skeptic: a person inclined to question or doubt accepted opinions. Is … Continue reading →

IQ & EQ = Types Of Human Being Our IQ (intelligence quotient) is a measure of a person’s reasoning ability, and how well someone can use information and logic to answer questions or make predictions. Our EQ (emotional quotient or emotional … Continue reading →

The Essence Of Mind Is Consciousness The essence of mind is conscious cognisance, the ability to know. Whatever is known is then stored as content in the mind, as memories in the form of our thoughts and feelings. Whatever is … Continue reading →

This Is How Truth Works Absolute truth is wisdom. Relative truth is compassion. Wisdom: realising our true being of pure consciousness. Compassion: the manifestation of that wisdom. We can only have true compassion (love) when we realise that that very … Continue reading →

How The World Was Won The world was won by mediocracy. Mediocre: of only average quality; not very good. Mediocracy: a dominant class consisting of mediocre people, or a system in which mediocrity is rewarded: a mediocracy of successful careerists and yes-men. When we know our true nature, everything less is inferior. Except … Continue reading →

Is Being, Interesting? The less reified we become, the less ‘real’ we become, the less interesting we become. Become: begin to be. 🙂

The Psychology Of Consciousness It’s what spirituality is all about. Understanding how consciousness works will help us realise how we work. If we don’t know the essence of a subject, how can we know about it? All we will do is go through a … Continue reading →
