THE OPPOSITE OF EMPTINESS…
The Opposite of Emptiness… The opposite of emptiness is solidity: appearances are reified when the clarity of mind becomes dull, and clings. Emptiness is the clear quality of mind; our true nature. In clinging, we forget this clear quality and … Continue reading
VALUING PAST MASTERS
Valuing Past Masters On our spiritual journey, we need as much help as we can get. We also shouldn’t underestimate the power of the psychological effects of inspiration and aspiration. This needn’t be elaborate: we merely open our minds up … Continue reading
UNCERTAINTY IS THE KEY TO RECOGNISING PURE AWARENESS
Uncertainty is the Key to Recognising Pure Awareness If we think we are pure awareness, we have just come out of pure awareness. If there is uncertainty about pure awareness, merely be aware of that which is aware of that … Continue reading
