THE SCREEN OF OUR MIND
The Screen Of Our Mind The screen of our mind holds all our history to which we constantly refer, and this is how we live in a cyclic existence. We are indoctrinated at birth to see the world in a … Continue reading

SERENITY OVERCOMES THIS MANIC WORLD
Serenity Overcomes This Manic World Serenity: the state of being calm, clear, peaceful, and untroubled. There are troubling experiences in the world, but even valid protests are not going to stop them as such actions are taken in account as … Continue reading
THE MYSTERY MACHINE
The Mystery Machine We like mysteries because they’re something that’s difficult or impossible to understand and explain. They entertain us. Watching a magician’s deception, we like to believe, and choose to ignore how it’s done. This path of the impossible … Continue reading
DECEIVED BY OMISSION
Deceived By Omission Deception initiates a complicated cascade of confusion; a social domino effect that feeds our karma. How? Razzamatazz = Razzle-dazzle = show business: a media that deliberately inflates ambiguous language which omits original truth. We are so involved … Continue reading
IT’S A VERY TRICKY, STICKY, CLEVER-DICKY WORLD
It’s A Very Tricky, Sticky, Clever Dicky World Are we born suckers, or are suckers made? If we are not prepared to ask this question, we will not be willing to investigate. Sucker: a person who believes everything they are told, and is therefore easy to deceive. To … Continue reading
THE LONG CONFIDENCE TRICK ON CONSCIOUSNESS
The Long Confidence Trick On Consciousness For thousands of years, humanity has been tricked into believing that we have no authority and must be led. We lack confidence because we do not know. Once we know, we can never not … Continue reading
ILLUMINATI MENTALITY = SAMSARIC GODS
Illuminati Mentality = Samsaric Gods Become an expert in this and that, and miss the reality. Illuminati: people claiming to possess special enlightenment or knowledge. In modern terms, this refers to those who, over millennia, have claimed superiority, believing they’re born to lead. This … Continue reading
WHAT IF WE ARE ALL CAPTURED BY CULTURE?
What If We Are All Captured By Culture? We are all born into a cultural programme, aren’t we? There is truth and there is deception: these are a unity, like yin and yang. Everything has two purposes. To the unenlightened … Continue reading
WE ARE SLEEPWALKING IN OTHERS’ DREAMS
We Are Sleepwalking In Others’ Dreams There are those who are aware of this phenomenon, those who deny it, and those who aren’t bothered. Globalisation is the process by which businesses – and other organisations – develop international influence, operating on … Continue reading
THE TRUTH IS OBVIOUS WHEN POINTED OUT
The Truth Is Obvious When Pointed Out Everything is known, takes place only in the mind, and is observed by consciousness. There is no Hell. There is no Heaven. Hell and Heaven are states of our own mind; they are the way … Continue reading
THE POWER OF DECEPTION
The power of deception. As there are levels of perception, there are levels of deception. The levels of perception refine the truth. The levels of deception cover the truth. The problem is Knowing which is which. “Oh that’s easy!” you … Continue reading
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. We are all Buddhas in the mud of concepts. 
WE CANNOT BE WHAT WE SEE
We Cannot Be What We See We see things, and we see the mind commenting on these things, so we are therefore neither this mind nor our things. We are the empty essence of mind, the clear space of clarity, … Continue reading →
