Once We Know, We Cannot Un-know Awakening to our true reality of pure consciousness is seeing with clarity. We recognise all that obscures this reality – all the intellectual obstacles of distraction that have clouded pure vision. We remember what … Continue reading →

Lacking Compassion = Narcissism The tendency for spiritually minded individuals to become insular, withdrawn, exclusive or detached from broader society is a well-documented psychological and social phenomenon. While spirituality aims for universal connection, the journey can inadvertently create walls between … Continue reading →

We Live In An Oxymoron – That’s Why We Suffer Oxymoron: apparently contradictory terms appearing together, eg futile diligence. ‘We’ believe in a ‘self’: pure consciousness believes it’s a created self. I think, therefore I am. The visible and mental universe is built on … Continue reading →

Evil Is An Exaggerated ‘I’ This evil is reflected in every conversation, when we stop connecting with others through our need for validation. Evil is the exaggeration of ‘I’ – an inflated ego which uses the listener to confirm its … Continue reading →

Vulnerable To Corruption There are two aspects to consciousness: one is attachment to thoughts, while the other is freedom from thoughts – the pure essence of mind. These are termed relative reality and absolute reality. Most humans aren’t homo sapiens … Continue reading →

How Do We Know We Aren’t Brainwashed? An example of this might be the suggestion that we have consciousness, when we are consciousness. Or that there has to be a beginning of the universe and therefore there is a creator, … Continue reading →

Mara’s Very Presence Is Its Demise The ultimate checkmate. Most of us only want to read or hear nice Dharma, uplifting Dharma. That, in itself, is a delusion.We have to know what it is that is obscuring the pure consciousness … Continue reading →

Ego Is The Devil Incarnated Ego is consciousness clinging and fixating on ideas. If the devil represents separation, pride, fear and conflict, then the human ego fits that description perfectly. When looked at through non-dual view, the ego functions exactly … Continue reading →

Trapped In Ego Is Living In Hell Being trapped in ego is a state of psychological confinement; we are completely at the mercy of our mind. When we (consciousness) are trapped in the ego, we’re in Hell. Hell isn’t a … Continue reading →

Invert The pyramid Understanding our world is vital to regaining sanity. If we want to know what’s going on at the top of the pyramid, we only have to look at the bottom – what people say and what they … Continue reading →

Academic, Philosophical And Linguistic Distractions We all want to appear clever.Mara works at a very subtle level. We are supposed to be wise beings (homo sapiens), but we’ve become homo callidus (clever beings), homo ingeniosus (gifted, or ingenious) or homo … Continue reading →

Led To Believe We’re Not Enlightened Enlightenment is realising our true reality.How sustained that is is up to each individual. We are enlightened, but believe that we aren’t.Through distraction, we fall into the illusion of not knowing. The who believes … Continue reading →

Our Confusion Is Based On Labels When consciousness identifies with something, it gives it a label, and forms an attachment. We are claiming a specific understanding, meaning, or ownership of the way that thing is perceived. This collection of ideas … Continue reading →

Valuing Emptiness – Pure Knowingness Emptiness means uncontaminated mind, pure awareness, pure consciousness, pure knowingness. It is the clarity of silent witnessing that perceives through this body and mind; pure perception from behind the scenes. This empty cognisance is ever-present, … Continue reading →

Nothing Is New Humanity has fallen for trickery for generations; it’s not something new. History proves that media manipulation is as old as print itself. While the technology changes, the psychological traps used to exploit human curiosity and outrage have … Continue reading →

Our Thoughts Are Not Our Own Thoughts are words, and words are inherited, therefore thoughts are inherited and that limits our experience. We talk about things we are programmed to talk about, so nothing changes. We actually boast trivia. Have … Continue reading →

Finding The Right Words It’s difficult to find the right words in the right order to convey experience. One could say to be aware of awareness, but it’s subtler than that; being aware of awareness still sounds like doing something. … Continue reading →

Observer And Observation Pure observation is objective.An observer is subjective as it can be perceived. The moment an observation passes through our mind, it’s filtered through our personal history and cognitive biases. Pure observation is the what, without judgement, narrative, … Continue reading →

Not Coping, While Pretending To Cope The problem with relying on AI and ‘spiritual teachings’ is that we live a cut-and-paste life, and stop feeling our way directly in a situation. AI and texts become our go-to place, instead of … Continue reading →

We Are Inherently Divine We are inherently divine – we just need a nudge in the right direction. The ‘just a nudge’ part is important, to understand the nub, the central point that holds everything together. Instead, we seek full-blown … Continue reading →

Nothing Can Be Resolved With Others It feels frustrating, but we recognise others’ boundaries. Keeping our door open represents a mature balance between boundaries and constant availability. We recognise a person’s current inability to open up, but we don’t let … Continue reading →

What Is Devotion? Devotion is certainly not worshipping a person or a deity. This is where we become confused about deity practice, Vajrayana, Guru yoga. There are no mysterious transmissions. Such claims are unsound logic that seem convincing, but are … Continue reading →
