Formula; The Unchanging Nature Of Nature I’ve written before about the three unchangeables: space, consciousness and formula. Formula: from Latin, diminutive of forma ‘shape, mould’. Formula is how everything takes shape. It is the nature of everything. We may think of nature as … Continue reading →

Jumping To Conclusions The problem with jumping to conclusions about pure consciousness is that we can come to an intellectual belief that we are pure consciousness, but is it experienced? The assumption is a good start, but then it is … Continue reading →

We Are Incomplete Without Meditation In the ‘normal’ run of life we panic, and exhaust ourselves, falling into vacancy. Simple meditation is sitting in silence, witnessing the distraction (panic). Gradually, we calm down, and relax by letting go of exhausting … Continue reading →

Awakening To Our Enmeshment We don’t realise how deeply enmeshed we are in concepts – even righteous ones – where we feel morally right or justified. This what we are seeking liberation from. Our relative reality (the way we relate to … Continue reading →

Fear Stops Us Being Honest Fear stops us being honest about how we really feel. This is why we cannot communicate with one another; we talk, but it doesn’t go very far as we skirt around issues. Perhaps in the … Continue reading →

The Ability To Understand The ability to understand doesn’t come from mantras or scholastic study; both of these merely focus the mind with intention. Understanding comes from realising that that which rests within silent awareness is our reality – that … Continue reading →

Who Or What Do You Believe? This is the most important – and also idiotic – question possible. It’s tantamount to saying, “Who or what do you accept without proof?” Your life depends on the answer, and ignoring the question … Continue reading →

The Real Teaching Is Within The real teaching is within, and never ‘out there’. Out there is only second-hand generalisation, organisation, institutionalisation … with lots of long-winded words 🙂 The teaching within has no words.

Is It True Or Not? Just reading something and identifying with it won’t do. We have to reflect and contemplate with an unbiased eye. That, in fact, is the answer we seek. It’s not wrong to question a statement. This … Continue reading →

Dream State v Awakened State When we merely repeat what we have heard or read, we live in our mind’s dream state. In the raw (uncooked) moment now, we wake up and wonder, “What is this?” = awakening possibilities.

Realising Anything Is Shock Realisation means change has occurred. Knowing about something isn’t the same as realising it. Fixation Is Addiction What we see in others is but a reflection. Thinking There Is Only One Way That is narrow-minded. Others’ … Continue reading →

More Complexity = More Reliance Everything in the world has become more elaborate than is necessary. When spirituality becomes complicated, we may hear words, but do we experience them? I speak as one who has sat through decades of lectures … Continue reading →

Ego’s Nest – The Mind When we (consciousness) become caught up in concepts – abstract ideas brought together – we build a confused construct in the mind that we think of as ‘home’ for our self. We identify with this … Continue reading →

The Boatman Think of this difficult-to-attain body as a boat, offering the means to escape from the ocean of Saṃsāra (suffering). Standing in the boat of the human body, we cross the flood of misery through skilful awareness. If we … Continue reading →

The Reason To Wake Up When we recognise a habitual pattern, we recognise a routine, a predictive programme within our selves and the world. Every time an idea is created by a small group, it’s a precursor to consequences and … Continue reading →

Keeping Up All Lines Of Investigation This mean not taking one side or another, but seeing the effect. Taking sides incapacitates people from seeing clearly. It delays keeping up all lines of investigation because we’ve already adopted a bias. This … Continue reading →

Facing Away From The Truth Looking for verification to establish the truth – the validity of our essence and reality – we have to turn our view 180 degrees. That which is looking for the truth … is the truth! … Continue reading →

A Lack Of Understanding = Inability To Care To care, we must first understand. For understanding, we need to see clearly. Seeing clearly is where goodness or moral compass comes from. Seeing clearly is the presence of pure consciousness. It’s … Continue reading →

Where Do We Go To Find Ultimate Truth? Where do we go to find ultimate truth? When we get there, how do we know it’s true? The decorations? The poetic words? The term ‘ultimate truth’ is a misnomer; it is … Continue reading →

Keeping Up With Corruption? The word ‘corruption’ means to destroy. Destroy what? Destroy all traces of consciousness in society. Do people discuss this much? This is how we are corrupted – by thinking we know. The path to enlightenment is … Continue reading →
