Seeing How We Work There is ordinary consciousness and pure consciousness. There is ordinary mind and pure mind. Ordinary consciousness and ordinary mind are dualistic = ‘me’ and ‘other’, creating judgement and comment. Pure consciousness and pure mind are non-dualistic … Continue reading →

Under The Cover Of Incompetence Under the cover of incompetence, we believe what we see. Supposed incompetence is how this world is run, and we fall for it every time. As long as we are identifying with incompetence, we won’t … Continue reading →

Animals Aren’t Evil Animals aren’t evil – only humans can be evil. All sentient beings are moved by fear, hope and indifference to survive, but it is only when we hold on to our fears, hopes and indifferences that evil … Continue reading →

Propaganda Can Be Teachings Spiritual teachings show us what is obvious and clearly seen. When we see clearly, we see more. There is propaganda everywhere, telling us subconsciously how to think. These signs are teachings. When we read the signs … Continue reading →

We Are The Mystery We are the mystery – not our reality! In its inception, our self-image was created by consciousness being confused about its reality. That is the mystery. When we realise our true reality, there is no mystery.

Return To Sender If we do not react to others’ abuse or emotions, we reduce the effect of our karma, and the abuse simply returns to the sender. Now they have to deal with their karma.

If We Do Not Believe In God If we don’t believe in God, why do we shout (when something goes wrong) – “Jesus!!” or reply to something we don’t know – “God knows?!” The words are ingrained in our subconscious … Continue reading →

The State Of Denial Is it possible that denial is a coping mechanism? If we haven’t woken up to something being very wrong, we are in a state of denial, and will fight to stay in that place. Truth irritates … Continue reading →

Wrong Think Wrong think: A lack of trust in authority. Is questioning a crime? An example: being kicked out of a spiritual group for not believing. 🙂

We Are Not As Clever As We Think We are not as clever as we think – we are cleverer! When we are just using our mind, we’re borrowing ideas from others, and merely putting those ideas together in a … Continue reading →

Instead Of Reading About It, Live It We can sound pretty clever repeating what we have read to impress others. It’s just information, and there is no real knowledge or a meeting of minds. It’s all one-sided, whereas talking about … Continue reading →

In A Corrupt World, We Cannot Just Sit Back We know that childhood traumas affect our behaviour in later life, and condemn the next generation to more confusion, regret and depression. In meditation, we sit and do nothing. In life, … Continue reading →

Conflict Comes From Opposites As long as we take sides, we are divided, and there will be conflict. As long as this state of affairs is fuelled, we will remain divided. Be aware. Be very aware.

What Is Disinformation? To a lie, truth is disinformation. To truth, a lie is disinformation. Some things are created to create something else. This how division is accomplished.

Be A Fixer; Don’t Be Fixated A fixer solves problems. The fixated cause them. 🙂

Time Is Everything Time only exists because all phenomena has a beginning, and middle and an end. Thoughts have a beginning, a middle and an end and therefore have no reality. Space does not have a beginning, a middle and … Continue reading →

Do Aliens Visit Us? In an infinite universe, there are an infinite number of beings, so why would they bother coming all this way and not say hello, even to spiritual adepts/deep meditators who don’t panic? 🙂 It’s because the … Continue reading →

The Many Ways To Realisation Realisation is the experience of what we actually are, and it’s never what we think or believe 😀 We are, first and foremost, pure consciousness. What else can we be? It is through this that everything … Continue reading →

Have Religion And Science Been Hijacked? By whom? By the facade of benefit. We are lured into beliefs, and because we are lethargic (from Greek: lēthargos ‘forgetful),’ we don’t bother seeking any further than whatever we are told. That assumption is belief, and belief … Continue reading →
