WHO IS ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN REALITY?
Who Is Actually Interested In Reality? How many people do you know who are interested in reality? They may be interested in philosophy, in words, in rituals, but that isn’t reality; these are things to do, to pass the time. … Continue reading
LIVING IN THE MIND
Living In the Mind When we live just in our mind, we live on memories, which are a simulation of reality. Thoughts are imagination, and have no direct reality; they merely colour everything that we see. This is the source … Continue reading
IT’S A SHOCK
It’s A Shock We are the alpha and omega – the beginning and the end. We look for the truth, and realise we are the truth, when we stop living others’ histories. Our truth is pure consciousness. Once we realise … Continue reading

WHY THE MYSTERY?
