SYMBOLS ARE ONLY A REPRESENTATION
Symbols Are Only A Representation Symbols are only a representation and not the real thing. It’s a trap we all fall into. Symbols are ‘brand awareness’, when the brain lights up before consciousness is aware of it. Symbols are therefore … Continue reading
WE KNOW MORE THAN WE THINK

AWARE OF BEING AWARENESS

WE DIS+COVER WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE

MEDITATION IS JUST BEING AWARE OF AWARENESS
Meditation Is Just Being Aware of Awareness When more people meditate, the world will change for the better. At the moment, people are all about ‘me-and-what-I-know’. This limits understanding of an infinite reality. Just being aware can be at any … Continue reading
THE POINTLESSNESS OF PROTEST
The Pointlessness Of Protest Protest merely maintains the existing structure. When we protest, we activate, and promote division: “We can’t let them win!”? Either way, ‘they’ win, by the maintenance of the status quo, which refers to the current state of social structure or values. This policy … Continue reading

NO OFF SWITCH
No Off Switch Most people cannot turn their self off. If we cannot switch off, we find no peace. When, in meditation, we do switch off, we come to stillness. The silent awareness of consciousness. Short moments many times.
