THE ART OF HAPPENING
The Art Of Happening Happening: improvised or spontaneous. It’s what we do with Dharma. Spontaneous: occurring without premeditation or external stimulus, having an open, natural, and uninhibited manner. It’s what we do with Dharma. We are the pure heart of consciousness. Consciousness isn’t something organised. Thank goodness.

WHY DO WE WANT MORE AND MORE DHARMA?
Why Do We Want More And More Dharma? Dharma is the teaching about our own true nature of just seeing. When we just see, we are free. We simply have to see that we see, and rest there. Resting in … Continue reading

CONFUSING CONSCIOUSNESS
Confusing Consciousness Confusing consciousness confuses us. Do we have consciousness, or are we consciousness? Two paths that lead in opposite directions. Because of this, we only communicate on a relative level. True communication is rare. Most humans believe that consciousness … Continue reading
THE ULTIMATE PRACTICE AND REALISATION OF DHARMA IS KARMA!
The Ultimate Practice And Realisation Of Dharma Is Karma! Why is it difficult to communicate? Communication is the real practice. Communication is not just talking. Communication is a karmic experience and realisation. Karma is the product of our personal past, … Continue reading
EVIL IS DHARMA (KNOWLEDGE) UNREALISED
Evil Is Dharma (Knowledge) Unrealised The true Dharma is the realisation of our pure nature or essence of consciousness, and that which obscures this knowledge. These obscurations are the three universal laws of attraction, repulsion and indifference. In human terms, … Continue reading
INFLUENZA-ERS
Influenza-ers Persuading others to catch their virus The modern, scientific world knows the DNA of everything, including the mind. Science is now the Creator and Destroyer. If we know how to create something, then it stands to reason that we … Continue reading
GIVE UP THE DHARMA TO REALISE THE DHARMA
Give Up The Dharma To Realise The Dharma We will never realise the Dharma by listening or reading about the Dharma. “But I want the original, authentic teaching!” This is why the Buddha said, “Don’t take my word for it; … Continue reading
WHY I STOPPED WORRYING ABOUT TOGAL
Why I Stopped Worrying About Togal I gave up on Togal – the great mystery of gazes and visions – to just concentrate on seeing clearly … it’s far simpler! Better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t! … Continue reading

WHOM CAN YOU TRUST?
Whom Can We Trust? The ultimate decider to this question must be…us! Even if we are trusting something or someone outside ourselves, it is still ‘we’ who is trusting our own acknowledgement. We should, in fact, put ourselves on our … Continue reading
CONFIDENCE BEYOND DOUBT
Confidence Beyond Doubt We need confidence that is beyond belief and wishful thinking. Confidence must be without conceit. True confidence is unshakeable, which leads to unshakeable compassion. This is not for the faint hearted! Although we have much to learn … Continue reading
PETUNIAS PART TWO
Petunias Part two The point of real confidence is to eliminate fear – or rather, illuminate fear. We become the “Eliminatti” (that’s for those of a conspiratorial bent 🙂 !) There are two ways of looking at objective and subjective. … Continue reading
DEMON ACTIVITY IS A SHOCK!
Demon Activity is a Shock! We receive positive blessings from enlightened beings, and we also receive negative blessings from demons. When you receive blessings from demons, you won’t want to hear about the Dharma: the understanding about the relationship of … Continue reading
WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THE DHARMA
We are not supposed to do the Dharma We are the Dharma! The Buddha didn’t teach us to follow his teachings: he taught us to recognise our true nature. We may become very learned and scholarly in the Dharma, but … Continue reading
THE INDISTINGUISHABILITY OF THE TWO TRUTHS
The Indistinguishability of the Two Truths This is the essence of Dharma.The two truths are Nirvana and Samsara:Absolute truth and Relative truth… heaven and hell! If we think that hell is a nasty placeand heaven is a lovely place,we will … Continue reading
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ACADEMIC TO KNOW
You don’t have to be academic to know Realising the nature of mind is merely recognising that which recognises the reflections. The mind comes in all shapes, sizes and has its own special needs, and so there is a need … Continue reading
DEALING WITH OTHERS’ ASSUMPTIONS
Dealing with others’ assumptions. First, we have to realise that we have a few assumptions of our own…just accept that others come from different planets 🙂 – even Buddhists in the same tradition, studying with the same teacher. We can … Continue reading
THE DHARMA DOESN’T WORK
The Dharma doesn’t work! This is not possible. The Dharma describes our essential nature, which never changes. That is our very awareness. We may know this, but still think, “I can’t do it.” And, we must not confuse what we … Continue reading
DHARMA; COMPLEX OR SIMPLE
Dharma; complex or simple. Un-fabricated naturalness is our being: it is being ordinary – purely being there. That is the key. If we are not being ordinary, we are being something else – complex. Ordinary being is our original state. … Continue reading
APPRECIATION TAKES TIME
Appreciation takes time. When we hear teachings, we can take them for granted, assuming that they will always be freely available to us (by ‘freely’, I mean accessible). These teaching are the path to enlightenment: they are sound, complete and … Continue reading
BUDDHA ESSENCE IN A NUTSHELL
Buddha Essence in a Nutshell and we’re the nuts… Our true nature is awareness, pure awareness. That’s what we are! However, most of the time, we are something else: occupied, vacant or asleep. And so we are not aware of … Continue reading
THE TWO TRUTHS
The Two Truths. To understand the Dharma – and our existence – we must understand our two sides: relative and ultimate. If it helps to see this a body/mind and spirit, that’s fine. Westerners come some sort of theistic or … Continue reading
