Synopsis for Book Thanks to Marcel who collated some articles a year ago with the idea of producing a book, we have recently completed this process (it’s taken a year with updates and adjustments), and the project is now being … Continue reading →

Time To See Differently It’s not that pure consciousness is extremely subtle; it is that conventional consciousness is so thick with concepts. We make up, adopt, cling to and build on an illusion that creates confusion and therefore, everything seems to … Continue reading →

Catching Demons That Don’t Exist Demons are consciousness clinging to ideas that create ‘myself’; this is demonic because these ideas rob us of knowing our true reality of pure consciousness. Demons distract consciousness away from itself. That’s what demons do … Continue reading →

Release From The Collective Consciousness We can’t think ourselves outside the box because it is thinking that keeps us inside the box 😉 Outside the box, there is merely pure observation of pure consciousness. That is our reality, rather than thoughts … Continue reading →

Seeing That We See: That’s What It’s All About Being conscious of being conscious. We are here in a human form to realise our true nature of ethereal reality. The pure conscious nucleus of intelligence. To accomplish this, we need … Continue reading →

Meditation is a boot-camp for the mind: once trained, the mind is free from contaminates, and measures out enlightened, compassionate activity.
