WHY IS FREE SPEECH FEARED?
Why Is Free Speech Feared? Why is free speech feared? Because of fanatics. When fanatics speak, it’s obvious that they are fanatics. “But someone may believe them!” Every person who doesn’t realise their reality cannot tell the truth; they have … Continue reading

GOODNESS AND EVIL

THE SUBTLE CHANGE IN AWARENESS
The Subtle Change In Awareness Awareness of awareness isn’t pure awareness, as it’s still a duality of being aware of some aspect, and relating to this. In pure awareness, there is no notion of being aware; there is just awareness … Continue reading
IMPRISONED BY DOCTRINE

IS THERE A GOD OR NOT?
Is There A God or Not? This is a pointless debate as it’s a personal issue. No one should impose their views on to others – and criticising those who believe/don’t believe is futile. What matters is how we feel … Continue reading
FREE THINKING
