A STRANGER RESIDES WITHIN OUR MIND
A Stranger Resides Within Our Mind The ‘stranger’ that resides in our mind is a construct that we’ve adopted from birth in order to conform, and it’s caused us inner conflict and suffering ever since. When it’s recognised, this stranger, this self is … Continue reading
HIGHER SELF v NO SELF
Higher Self v No Self The idea of a higher Self subtly misleads, and that locks us into intellectualisation. This concept creates a cyclic existence of relating to high Self, low self, high Self, low self … thus, a duality. … Continue reading
PHILOSOPHERS LOVE PHILOSOPHERS
Philosophers Love Philosophers Philosopher: from Greek philosophos ‘lover of wisdom’. A love of wisdom is an infatuation with knowledge, and it’s a dualistic activity. Realisation is knowing that we are already the wisdom of pure consciousness, and that words/ideas in the mind obscure this realisation. Philosophy … Continue reading
MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLE HILL

WHAT IS UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS?
What is Universal Consciousness? Is it God, a universal principle, or the laws of nature? This depends on our level of understanding. Whatever it is, the idea causes confusion and conflict. We have to ask, does this universal principle have other … Continue reading
THE HISTORY OF STUPIDITY
The History of Stupidity It all starts off with a belief in an illusory self, a mental attachment of consciousness to an idea of something out there. This duality – me and something else – is what causes confusion and … Continue reading

THE NEW AGE ‘SOURCE’ OF DECEPTION AND CONFUSION
The New Age ‘Source’ Of Deception And Confusion If we don’t know what’s real, then a substitute will be believable. Most people believe in stories handed down to them which contain unprovable assumptions. The New Age agency created the idea … Continue reading
EVIL IS THE OPPOSITE TO TRUTH

REALISATION IS NOTHING SPECIAL … REALLY
Realisation Is Nothing Special … Really It’s a relief that it’s nothing special, attainable only by those who are special. Making pure consciousness special detracts from its ordinariness, which is unwavering from moment to moment. It is orderly. Perception, via the senses, … Continue reading

INVESTIGATING TRUTH – RECOGNISING EVIDENCE
Investigating Truth – Recognising Evidence The problem with investigating truth is knowing the difference between wanting proof (something acquired or borrowed) as opposed to proving as a personal experience.
