Hmm … Reincarnation? In studying the Dharma, one continually reviews what is meant and how it works. Investigative spirituality is a sustained refinement, which means that whatever was satisfying and comforting becomes no longer so, but is replaced by something … Continue reading →

Kicking The Crap Out Of Oneself! Crap is the stuff we no longer need – useless, unwanted nonsense. This manure is the source of happiness. It’s the Great Relief! 😀

Cocooned In Spirituality We come to the subject of spirituality when all else has failed us. Authentic spirituality is not escapism in to a fantasy world: it is a genuine wish to know the ultimate truth. The truth of our … Continue reading →

The Unattainable In looking for the truth, the truth will remain unattainable. We may seek the truth – the ultimate nature of our reality – believing that we do not already know this truth. It is precisely because of this … Continue reading →

Everyone’s Addicted Everyone is addicted to a self, a ‘me’ and ‘mine’. This is the only reason we are not enlightened; the ideas about a self get in the way. Until we truly realise this, we will continue to believe … Continue reading →

The Moment Of Indifference, Before Indifference Sets In 😀 Before anything is recognised, there is a very subtle moment of pureperception, of pureconsciousness in which no judgement takes place. This is the wisdom of one taste – indifference – which … Continue reading →

Imprisoned In Our Own Mind We are each imprisoned in our own mind. Have you discovered that yet? We spend our time impressing other inmates. Have you discovered that yet? To be free, all we have to do is see. … Continue reading →

We Have To Be Careful What We Wish For … as like attracts like. It’s unfailing. Whatever is internal is also external; if we have a certain disposition, so do others. We are all three absolute qualities: empty essenceand cognisant … Continue reading →

Nostalgia Sentimental longing for that time in the past. We may learn from the past, but it is now when we realise what was learnt. This means letting go of the past. If we stay in that longing for a … Continue reading →

It’s All Very Enlightening We are here to realise our enlightened reality. Life itself is our teacher, once we recognise that this is so. Human teachers can only help us recognise the inner teacher of our own recognition. The outer … Continue reading →

We Do Not Need Love We do not need love. We are love itself. Everyone cares to some degree about something. The quality of understanding illuminates the quality of that love.

The Secret Is… We All Know! The secret is that we all know! That is the cosmic joke. All sentient beings know, are aware, and are conscious but they are unaware that they know, are aware, and are conscious. Could … Continue reading →

Prayer Prayer is a reaffirmation of an ideal, a psychological perfection in our outlook. To remain in an altruistic attitude towards all, to remember our true nature of unbiased awareness, and to do no harm – rather than make things … Continue reading →

When We Recognise The Truth When we recognise the truth, we recognise what isn’t true. So when we recognise what is untrue, that very recognition is the unity of the two truths.

Fixation: It’s Why We Meditate Fixating is obsessive attachment, especially to a self identity. We meditate to recognise and acknowledge fixations that limit and cloud our judgment and understanding. We meditate to see clearly and to realise that that which … Continue reading →

The Spirit Of Consciousness Isn’t Something Imposed The spirit of consciousness isn’t something imposed. It’s what we are. It is seeing in the opposite way to the way in which we think. Pure consciousness has no dogma attached: it is … Continue reading →

Truth Is The Opposite To Ideas About Truth Truth is common to all. Ideas divide us. It doesn’t matter what we think truth is, we all have one factor in common: truth! We are all conscious, and that consciousness is … Continue reading →

Humanity Suffers Because It Believes In Something We suffer because we believe in something. The essential nature of mind is perfect, crystal clear cognisance. It’s what we are, but it remains unnoticed as we are usually occupied with ‘self’ and … Continue reading →

We Are Never Separated From The Enlightened State Not knowing that this state is within ourself, we search for it elsewhere. No matter how much happiness or sorrow we experience, this enlightened state is never impaired or improved. Being happy … Continue reading →

The Practice With No Hardships Just be aware of awareness. All we have to do is remember. Alternatively, we could make it complicated: whatever words we use, we’re saying the same thing. Simply, barely, exactly, precisely, entirely, absolutely, completely, totally, aware of awareness.
