MAKING DISTRACTIONS THE PATH
Making Distractions The Path There is no getting away from distractions and disturbances; it’s how we deal with them that matters. We are the silent stillness of pure consciousness that perceives through the senses in a human form; we can … Continue reading

LIVING IN REALITY, OR IN A DREAM?
Living In Reality, Or In A Dream? When we connect directly to whatever presents itself, that is reality. Object and consciousness are one. Non-duality. Seeing the moon reflected in a pool, the moon, the reflection and consciousness are simultaneously one. … Continue reading

WE ARE PROGRAMMED TO BE IGNORANT
We Are Programmed To Be Ignorant Our pursuit of happiness is actually the pursuit of ignorance. It’s all upside down. We are all upside down 🙂 Knowledge is neutral. The same knowledge can be used for good or for self-aggrandisement. … Continue reading

WE CAN ALL SEE THIS
We Can All See This Whatever happens in one tiny spot on earth affects the entire world because of technocratic globalisation. Push a button here, and there is an effect on the other side of the planet. The problem is … 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
THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER
There Is Only One Answer There is only one answer:Pure consciousness. There is only one question:What distracts pure consciousness?
RIGHT TIME, RIGHT CONNECTION
Right Time, Right Connection Connection: the relationship between something, and something else. First, we have to be in the right place, mentally. It is through the practice of sitting in stillness that we realise we do not have consciousness; we … 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
WHEN THE MIND BECOMES STILL
When The Mind Becomes Still When the mind becomes still and silent,everything is different. We are no longer obsessed,relating to memories and judgements. We merely observe distractionsthat try to disturb inner peace. A clear view is maintained,by just noting reactions. … Continue reading
LITTLE INNOCUOUS IDEAS
Little Innocuous Ideas Little, unfounded, innocuous articles are put out to air an idea, sow seeds and monitor traction. Through the media, an idea is circulatedto see how far it will travel and how many will adopt it. Big ideas start from innocent-looking … Continue reading
LIFE IS BOTH TOTALLY INSPIRING AND TOTALLY CHALLENGING
Life Is Both Totally Inspiring And Totally Challenging Many have looked to the European intelligentsia of the 60s and 70s, and found what they said to be incomplete. This is why some of us turned to the east, and discovered … Continue reading
BEGINNERS’ BUDDHISM AND ADVANCED BUDDHISM

CONSCIOUSNESS CANNOT BE TAUGHT
Consciousness Cannot Be Taught It can only be pointed out (that’s if it’s actually pointed out) and then realised. Consciousness is what we are. Why is this naturally-occurring consciousness so dressed up and ritualised? We, as humans, are fascinated by … Continue reading
THE DARK AGE OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING
The Dark Age Of Social Engineering ‘The guiding hand’ Where do our ideas come from? We can all be accused of racism and intolerance, but what is behind the recent speed of change in demographics? Of course, people will react. … Continue reading
INNER AND OUTER DEMONIC ACTIVITY
Inner And Outer Demonic Activity Demonic activity is anything that creates obstacles. This is especially relevant to spiritual practitioners as subtle distractions take attention away from our path to liberation, and back to the mundane. How often do we just … Continue reading
DISTRACTION IS A TWO-EDGED SWORD
Distraction is a two-edged sword. The mind is more sensitive than we think, and this is why we get so distracted day in, day out. The world around us is one huge distraction: the tiniest occurrence and we are caught … Continue reading
