Darkness Suddenly Lifts There are times (many times :D) when we feel heavy, out of sorts and down – and then, suddenly, that feeling changes and we feel happy and lighter for no reason. It’s a karmic moment from our … Continue reading →

What Do We Value Most? Turning the mind to reality. If we choose money, power, football, family, friends, freedom, God, religion, science, nature … the question then arises, “What is it that values these things?” Most will simply say, “I do”, … Continue reading →

Tummo? … Tummo! We know that when we sit properly (or exert our body) we breath properly, and feel brighter, feel better. If we slouch, we constrict breathing; our oxygen intake is limited and we feel sluggish. This set of … Continue reading →

Taking A Rest From Media Obsession …and my own! I’m taking a short break. If you want a heart-to-heart or mind-to-mind, we can talk about any concerns at buddhainthemud@hotmail.com When looking at the media – or any mass-communication – read … Continue reading →

We Are One Word … Predictable For years, I’ve wondered, “Could there be a word that would sum up unconscious beings?” That word is … predictable: always behaving or occurring in the way expected. As long as we are governed by desire, aversion and indifference, we … Continue reading →

Turning Love Into Hate, And Hate Into Love If like can turn into love, then dislike can turn into hate. Sadly, we are not going to change the world in which we live: even the Buddha and Christ and Moses … Continue reading →

“The Devil Makes Work For Idle Hands” “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop” : an interesting piece of social engineering to induce guilt. When we are doing nothing, we have time to contemplate the truth of our existence – and we … Continue reading →

“What Is I?” In Latin and Greek, the word ‘ego’ means ‘I’. The moment we refer to I, we personalise consciousness. What’s wrong with I? How did this I come about? I is a mistaken identity; it is an attachment … Continue reading →

We’re Not A Who, We’re A What ‘Who’ is a person. ‘What’ is the information. Person = persona = actor’s mask. Information = something learned about the person/the mask. A mask is a covering or a disguise, and has many … Continue reading →

Understanding Of Both Positive And Negative Generally, we only want to hear nice things – nice ‘spiritual’ things – uplifting things to make us feel good. We don’t want to hear anything negative, but we have to be realistic to … Continue reading →

The Maintenance Of Ignorance We all like a good story; it’s entertaining. Comedians, philosophers, politicians, scholars, corporations, religions all tell stories. The media, films, books, songs all tell stories. We also have our own stories about past and future, and … Continue reading →

We Will Never See the Truth Until We Can Control Our Mind Gently and slowly, take 10 breaths. Breath in, pause. Exhale, pause. Count “One”. Breath in, pause. Exhale, pause. Count “Two”. And so on … Be aware of thoughts, … Continue reading →

Are You Still Looking For Words … I Mean, Programming? 😀 The mind needs to be provoked, or it will just snooze on. When we read words in books (or blogs), we get ideas. When we listen to words during … Continue reading →

‘Woke’ Is The Great Confidence Trick ‘Woke’ pretends to be awake, but “woke” merely mean awake to some injustice, rather than the wakefulness itself. ‘Woke’ is an insidious induction giving rise to agitation, and therefore dullness of mind. Making a … Continue reading →

We Don’t Realise That We Are Believers The world has always been divided into believers and non-believers. We are all believers until we know. There are believers who believe in an life after death, whereas non-believers believe otherwise. Likewise… There … Continue reading →

Nobody Can Give Us Freedom Nobody can give us freedom. We have to realise that we have always been free. We may be limited in a material sense, but pure consciousness is free. Never doubt that. Society is a place … Continue reading →

Why Is Realisation Happiness? Why is realisation happiness? It is a release from misery. Realisation isn’t a gain, it’s a loss. We lose all that hopes … and fears … and ignorance. 🙂

Don’t Try To Wake Up When You’re Already Awake We hear about people claiming to be ‘awake’, but awake from what? We are all pure consciousness and, as such, are naturally awake, but we ignore this reality in favour of … Continue reading →

We Are Primed To Conform Programming: a prewritten script. The collective is guided and divided. This why none of us has an original idea. We have been primed to go off! The moment in which we see, we are free … Continue reading →

There Is No Other God But Our Silence There is no other God but our silence. In silent clarity, everything is answered. Our only problem is that we make and enjoy noise. Silence departs. There no other God but our … Continue reading →

We Live In A Predicament First, we have to recognise our predicament, and then know what to do about it. We live in a world of suggestions and beliefs – a conventional reality, where vertical thinking is used as logic, … Continue reading →

Dharma Psychology Clears All Blockages! Information is something that forms or shapes our mind. If we listen, watch or read any form of media (information), it will influence us; all media is a programming machine. And this is why the … Continue reading →
