THERE IS NO ONE RIGHT WAY
There Is No One Right Way Each of us has our own personal problems, our own individual fixations, our own confusion. That is our path to resolve. The destination will be the same – the realisation that we are pure … Continue reading
BOOK LEARNING – NEWS LEARNING
Book Learning – News Learning Book learning: knowledge acquired by reading books, as distinguished from that obtained through observation and experience. The result of reading too many books and commentaries is confusion and doubt. Been there, done that. We are reading … Continue reading

MAKING UP OUR MIND
Making Up Our Mind When people have made up their mind, there’s no talking to them. There is nothing fresh to discuss, as there are no possibilities. A made-up mind is a fixed mind, ignorant of ‘able to be done’. … Continue reading
EGO ACTIVITY
Ego Activity Ego activity: “Believe me.” Enlightened activity: “Just see.” Evil is make-believe. Wisdom is pure seeing. The empty essence of mind is pure consciousness which we fill with fixations. The eternal conflict of wisdom and evil is not out … Continue reading

ENLIGHTENED SPEECH; WITHOUT FIXATIONS
Enlightened Speech; Without Fixations Thoughts are echoes or residues from the past. We acknowledge them, but we don’t obsess about them, so they do not stick. Usually, we maintain and strengthen our fixations, solidifying them for the next resurrection – … Continue reading
THROUGH REALISATION, NEGATIVITY TURNS POSITIVE
Through Realisation, Negativity Turns Positive Negativity is inspirational. When we know something is wrong, it’s positive. If we ignore what is wrong, we only create more negativity. The same goes for trying to be positive about everything; it’s a cover-up. … Continue reading
HOW WE GO ASTRAY
How We Go Astray We go astray and fall into ignorance when we fixate on or cling to any idea. Whether this fixation is adoration or dislike, we lose control of our mind. Mind is a collection of ideas to … Continue reading
