Everybody’s Talking About ‘Me’ Everybody’s talking about ‘me’;they never listen to a word I’m saying– they only hear echoes in their mind. Sound familiar?🙂

It’s Nice To Communicate It’s nice to communicate, but fear gets in the way. If we don’t dare, we can never succeed. Communication isn’t about ‘me’ or what I’ve read; it’s about what’s experienced. Communication: from Latin communicatio(n-), from the verb communicare ‘to share’. Communication isn’t about what others have … Continue reading →

Thinking The Unthinkable We are created by devilry.We are devilry’s minions. There is no actual demonic deity; it’s just the likes and dislikes encoded in our minds that control our behaviour. That’s the devilry at work. It’s sort of Gnosticism, where beings are … Continue reading →

We Don’t Realise The Problem Psychopathic entities without empathy confuse the minds of people by presenting opposites, creating those ‘for’ and those ‘against’. It is because we are unaware of this insidious activity that we experience stress. In each generation, cultures … Continue reading →

What Can We Rely On? All phenomena, including thoughts, are temporary events, and therefore have absolutely no reality. We can’t even rely on words as they’re either interpretations of someone else’s experiences, or repetitions of someone else’s translation.  Everything passes … Continue reading →

We Are Set Up For A Fall We are told to accept a minority’s fantasies;the majority react, and are punished.This is communism, where the minority takes control. In any organisation, there is an inner group that controls the majority. How?People aren’t … Continue reading →

Any Questions? Questions can result in conflict, but that is how we make progress. We don’t make progress by mere acceptance of an answer.When we question, we look at our reaction,rather than the reply. It is how we react that tell us the … Continue reading →

Unwittingly Clinging To Words And Rituals Unwittingly clinging to words and rituals for good luck is easily done. Words and rituals are reminders, but if we don’t let go, we remain in intellectualisation and belief. The more we realise, the more … Continue reading →

To Be Inferior Or Not To Be Inferior Relating to gurus and lamas shouldn’t be like relating to a leader of North Korea; bowing and scraping and prostrating is totally unnecessary, and shouldn’t be encouraged – it’s a form of … Continue reading →

The Pointing Out And The Realisation Become aware that, although there are comings and goings in the mind, there is that which never changes. This is the pure observation of consciousness. Our original being is without thought; it is clarity … Continue reading →

Finding Others In The Light Finding others in the light of reality is a rare event. Everyone is the light but they don’t know it as either their interests lie elsewhere, or the light has been formalised, dwelling in dim ideas, … Continue reading →

Never Think You Know The Answer Never think you know the answer.You are the answer! Thinking that we know is Mara activity, demonic activity, where we just go round and round in conflicting circles in pointless, polemic, controversial debate or dispute. … Continue reading →

Fear And Hope In Spiritual Groups Adoration is spiritual materialism.  It’s the eternal play of hope and fear – hoping to be accepted, and fearing rejection.  We fall into acting, while the essence of the teaching is to know thy self thy … Continue reading →

To Be Hinged Or Unhinged  To be hinged or unhinged; that is the question. Whether to suffer the unhinged or, by opposing, become hinged. Whether to assume we are normal or to question this ‘normality’. We all assume that we are … Continue reading →

Being Out Of Sync We read or hear words, but they don’t quite hit the spot. Why not?  We’re all at different stages of evolving/awakening; the words stay the same, but our understanding is out of sync. There is recognition, … Continue reading →

What’s Inside Comes Out If we have wisdom, that’s what comes out.If we have hatred, that’s what comes out.If we have indifference, that’s what comes out. Whatever’s inside comes out.

Mysticism Mysticism: Transcending ordinary human understanding. A sense of spiritual mystery, awe, and fascination concerned with spirit, rather than with material things. Whether mysticism is a mystery or not depends on our understanding When we wake up from our idealistic dream to our reality of pure … Continue reading →

Why We Don’t Perceive Reality Reality – which is pure consciousness – has been sidetracked due to education, society and the media to see through a veil of concepts-restrictions. Concepts alter our pure perception. As long as we go along … Continue reading →

    What Are We Proud Of?  We’re proud of our menu of ideas.Menu: from Latin, minutus, ‘very small’. Pride is our personal dungeon of existence.What are we trying to impress? Others’ menus.😀

Emptiness Is The Ultimate In Sophistication Emptiness is the ultimate in sophistication.There is nothing more sophisticated than pure awareness. Like infinite space, it contains everything.The essence of mind is total openness,without exaggerations.

There’s Something Wrong, Isn’t There? There’s something wrong, isn’t there?Or are things going right? It all depends on one’s point of view. If we are evil, things are going right.And if we understand about cause and effect, things are going right. … Continue reading →

Buddhism Isn’t Anti-Life Buddhism is living life to the full, experiencing everything that comes our way as our teacher. Life teaches us something when perception is fully open. Buddhism isn’t about suffering; it is the path to alleviatesuffering, dissatisfaction, conflict, confusion … … Continue reading →

Have You Ever Met Anyone … Have you ever met anyone you can truly talk to? People talk about anything but actual reality. To truly talk, we have to step outside the cycle of speculation. Gaining confidence is expanding our horizon … Continue reading →

It’s All A Cover-Up It’s all a cover-up.“What is?”Our true reality. We live in a make-believe world, where truth is rarely spoken. We may talk about a cover-up, but do we know what the cover-up is covering up? As long as we … Continue reading →

My Turning Point My turning point was when I realisedthat the Dharma is within,and isn’t reliant on anything or anyone external. The Buddha was right. The external is a starting point to realising that corruption and the path are the same … Continue reading →

The Vicious Cycle Of Existence? The vicious cycle of existence … really? The phrase ‘the vicious cycle of existence’ is an idiom that is trotted out all the time among Buddhists. Do you ever wonder why we say things – or rather repeat things … Continue reading →
