IT’S OBVIOUS WHEN POINTED OUT
It’s Obvious When Pointed Out Clarifying a broken system. The system we all live in isn’t broken; it’s created and maintained to be that way. There aren’t different ‘political’ parties- it’s one party with opposite facets. Most people are unaware … Continue reading

NOT REALISING THE DEPTH OF OUR PROBLEM

SOMETHING MORE INTERESTING?
Something More Interesting? Always looking for something more interesting?That’s our problem. This, unfortunately, is laziness because we’re not focusing on the truth of the matter; we are looking for titbits. These tasty morsels are for the needy who seek interesting … Continue reading

WAKING UP IS SIMPLE; STAYING AWAKE ISN’T

THE ILLUMINATI’S SECRET
The Illuminati’s Secret We conform to others’ standards too easily, without question. Why? Because we have been processed that way for generations. The secret is; we are already members of the ‘Illuminati’ 🙂 People talk about organisations like the Illuminati … Continue reading
IT’S A VERY STUPID WORLD!
It’s A Very Stupid World! It’s a very stupid but spiritually-enhancing world. We live in a world, creeping to ever-new heights of stupidity. How is this achieved? By making people dependent and therefore stupid, and then demanding restrictions and limitations … Continue reading

DAMNED BY DISTRACTIONS
Damned By Distractions We are damned by distractions. This is why we meditate – to recognise that we are the clarity of consciousness. Distraction: A thing that prevents someone from concentrating. Distraction: A disturbance, intrusion, interference, obstruction, hindrance. Distraction: Amusement, entertainment, diversion, pastime, recreation, hobby, game, leisure pursuit. Distraction: Bewilderment, befuddlement, perplexity, confusion, disturbance, agitation. We do not have to be … Continue reading

I WANT FREEDOM FROM MYSELF
I Want Freedom from Myself This is both possible and ridiculous. Our self is consciousness that identifies with a collection of ideas that we call ‘I’. It is that identification which is ridiculous as this ‘I’ is a temporary arrangement … Continue reading

CONSCIOUSNESS CANNOT BE TAUGHT
