LONG-TERM SUBLIMINAL REACTIONS
Long-Term Subliminal Reactions It’s amazing how many non-theistic people say, “Jesus!” or “Oh my God!” when something suddenly happens. What gets in, stays in, unless we are aware of it 🙂

‘I’ IS A FICTION, AND A MISDIRECTION
‘I’ Is A Fiction, And A Misdirection There is a trap in the English language which we all fall into that reinforces the idea of self. That word is ‘I’, which comes from the Latin word, ‘ego’. In consciousness-awareness terms, … Continue reading

WHAT IF ENLIGHTENMENT IS NOT AS IT IS PORTRAYED?
What If Enlightenment Is Not As It Is Portrayed? Humans are extremely clever, and extremely stupid; both states are distractions. What if enlightenment is merely understanding, experiencing and realising the fundamental reality of our natural being, of just being aware … Continue reading

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.
