A TERRIFYING SHOCK
A Terrifying Shock Ignorance: not recognising. How is that a shock? How many people on Earth recognise their true nature of pure awareness of ultimate being? They may be aware of their job, family, interests, church or being Buddhist, but … Continue reading
DOUBT
Doubt A feeling of uncertainty. Doubt everything. Gain confidence in the doubt. Until the moment of enlightenment, we will have doubt. 😀 It is in the awareness of the doubt that we can trust. We cannot doubt awareness. . .

IT’S NOT A MATTER OF BECOMING ENLIGHTENED
It’s Not A Matter Of Becoming Enlightened It’s a matter of seeing! We are already enlightened: we just don’t know it, or we’re not convinced. ‘Enlightened’ is to be illuminated – seeing clearly. ‘Benighted’ is to be ignorant – … Continue reading

NO MUD, NO ENLIGHTENMENT
No Mud, No Enlightenment First; recognise the mud of confusion. Second; realise that the mud never existed. Third; have good laugh!
POTENTIAL IS EVERYTHING
Potential Is Everything All beings have the potential of enlightenment. Realising that potential is compassion. Enlightenment: never forgetting our true nature of pure consciousness. Never forgetting means that all obstacles have been cleared.

“I’M RELUCTANT TO BECOME ONE OF THOSE ‘SPIRITUAL’ PEOPLE”

A BUDDHA CANNOT MAKE US ENLIGHTENED
A Buddha Cannot Make Us Enlightened A Buddha can only point out the path to enlightenment and the obstacles will present themselves as the path. It is we who decide upon and value the path to enlightenment that transcends all … Continue reading
WHAT RECOGNISES, AND WHAT IS RECOGNISED?
What Recognises, And What Is Recognised? To cognise: to know, to be aware. Re-cognise: to know again, to recall to mind. We first have to distinguish between re-cognising and my re-cognising: the first is simply the knowing of knowing, while … Continue reading
WHAT IF ‘ENLIGHTENMENT’ WASN’T A REALITY …
What If “Enlightenment” Wasn’t A Reality … nor life after death? I’m not saying that these concepts are true or untrue, but as spiritual scientists, we should be able to look at all possibilities. This is only, “What if?” Where … Continue reading
