The Two Aspects of Our Being The pure, empty spirit of cognisant consciousness, and reflections of thoughts and images. Our absolute being is like an clear mirror that reflects everything without comment. When this pure consciousness (absolute truth) attaches itself … Continue reading →

Dealing With An Agitated Mind Simply be aware of that which is aware of the agitation, and rest that clarity. The same goes for all emotions. Knowing that the Sanskrit word for ‘suffering’ is ‘duhkha’ doesn’t help, does it? There … Continue reading →
