LIFE IS SCARY
Life Is Scary Life is scary because it’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’re being fooled. People are scary, because they believe whatever they’re told or shown. This is exactly how conflict, panic and wars are … Continue reading
IF YOU HAVE LONGING, TRY SHORTING
If You Have Longing, Try Shorting 🙂 ‘Longing’ is wishful thinking and belief – the machinations of religion, philosophy, and opinions that are long and winding roads. ‘Shorting’ is direct experience of the realisation of pure consciousness: our original being, … Continue reading
BEING BOUND TO A TEACHER
Being Bound To A Teacher Being bound to a teacher not only creates and maintains a duality, a dependency, it is not the way or culture of modern life. The point of having a teacher is to show the student … Continue reading

TREKCHO AND TOGYAL
Trekcho and Togyal These are two Tibetan words: Trekcho = cutting through concepts, and Togyal = leaping over concepts. There are many long and elaborate commentaries on these words, but we have to come to understand them through our own … Continue reading
OUR ENEMY IS NOT OUR ENEMY
Our Enemy Is Not Our Enemy In the material world, an enemy is not a friend. The world will always be full of ‘wrongness’. In the world of pure consciousness, however, an enemy is our reaction and, in recognising this, … Continue reading
TRUTH BEYOND BELIEF
Truth Beyond Belief I keep on about belief because it is not direct experience; it’s borrowed, it’s second-hand. We only know when we have direct experience of a subject for ourselves. This world bombards us with ‘information’ – so much … Continue reading
WHAT IF OUR ‘NORMAL’ IS MADNESS?
What If Our ‘Normal’ Is Madness? Madness: The state of having a serious mental illness … we don’t know what we are. Extremely foolish behaviour … we think we know. A state of wild or chaotic activity … we follow the crowd. We are brain-washed to function at a very basic … Continue reading

A snake deprives a prey of the ability to resist or escape by the power of a gaze: the serpent fascinates its prey.

FAKE: AN IMITATION – AN ILLUSION OF REALITY
Fake: An Imitation – An Illusion Of Reality An illusion distorts our perception of reality. News is not reality; it’s someone’s account. The Buddha’s teachings are like that;an imitation for us to prove. Reality is whatever is actually taking place now. It is direct experience.

WORDS ARE NOT DIRECT EXPERIENCE
Words Are Not Direct Experience To be mesmerised by words is to miss direct experience beyond words. Words are open to interpretation and commentary. Direct experience is unmistakable pure consciousness itself, expressionless as there is nothing to express. Then why … Continue reading
