ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS REALISED BY ABSOLUTE TRUTH
Absolute Truth Is Realised By Absolute Truth This is the core experience of realisation, of non-dualistic awareness. It is the state where separation of observation and the observed completely dissolves. Pure consciousness is awareness stripped of thoughts, memories and identities. … Continue reading
CAPTIVATED NOT TO CHANGE
Captivated Not To Change Captivated by skilful artists-magicians-politicians-entertainers … we become expertly lazy, dependent, dull and weak. Those ruling humanity thrive on this arrangement, while pundits hog the microphones and divert all meaningful conversation. These ‘learned’ people are also cherished. … Continue reading
WHY THE MYSTERY?
Why The Mystery? Because we’re led to look the wrong way. A mystery is something which captures our imagination. We like a mystery because it keeps the answer at arms’ length; if we know, this has consequences. In the completion … Continue reading
TRUTH NEVER CHANGES
Truth Never Changes Material reality changes as all things are impermanent. Thoughts are also impermanent and changeable. Neither can be said to be true, as that which is true can never not be true, and is therefore unchanging. If we … Continue reading

ANCIENT SECRETS AREN’T ANCIENT SECRETS
Ancient Secrets Aren’t Ancient Secrets The mystery is that we have lost what is natural. Knowledge and wisdom are right here, right now, and is has always been so. People make this out to be some special hocus pocus – … Continue reading
STILL WONDERING WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT?
Still Wondering What It’s All About? The most accurate response to this question would be, “What is doing the wondering?” If this seems too simplistic, that is because the proof of pure awareness is obscured by stories and inaccurate beliefs … Continue reading
WHY DID CONSCIOUSNESS BECOME ‘HOLY’?
Why Did Consciousness Become ‘Holy’? Why did consciousness become holy/religious/formalised/ritualised, when it’s not a thing and does not exist – and it makes people act abnormally. 😀 Consciousness is normal. Being anything else is abnormal. Consciousness – or, to be … Continue reading

DO WE VALUE TRUTH?
Do We Value Truth? Do we value truth, or do we just accept others’ versions of the truth, and then squabble over it? Truth – or absolute truth – is that which does not change. Anything that changes can only … Continue reading
THE DIRECT POINTING OUT INSTRUCTION INTO THE NATURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

THEORISTS AVOID ABSOLUTE TRUTH
Theorists Avoid Absolute Truth Theorists prefer second-hand information; an imitation of truth. They defer responsibility to others, avoiding first-hand experience of the silence of wisdom.

A WORLD OF MENDACIOUS SOPHISTRY
A World Of Mendacious Sophistry 🙂 Mendacious: not telling the truth; lying. Sophistry: the use of clever but false arguments, especially with the intention to deceive. And nobody is held to account. What a world! As long as we do not know what absolute … Continue reading
WHAT TYPE OF PERSON ARE WE?
What Type Of Person Are We? We all have a social I, one that others identify, and we can only get a glimpse of our persona by the reaction of others. We could be the type who thinks others are … Continue reading
BEFORE RELIGION
Before Religion Absolute truth: we are purely consciousness, purely aware without commentaries or elaborations. Adepts who realise this absolute truth express it in their own way. This expression takes the form of words. Words become actions, and actions become organised, … Continue reading
DECEIT AND BELIEF AND PATH
Deceit and Belief And Path Deceit: deliberately causing someone to believe something that is not true. Belief: acceptance that something is true, without proof.

THE SIMPLE, DIRECT POINT

INVESTIGATING TRUTH – RECOGNISING EVIDENCE
Investigating Truth – Recognising Evidence The problem with investigating truth is knowing the difference between wanting proof (something acquired or borrowed) as opposed to proving as a personal experience. If we want proof without proving, whatever we come up with will still be a theory; it’s … Continue reading
TRUTH IS ALWAYS THE SAME
Truth Is Always The Same The truth never changes. If it did, then it would not be the truth: it would be a convenient truth with time limits. Absolute truth is constant, and may be expressed in many ways. Unfortunately, … Continue reading
