BOOK LEARNING – NEWS LEARNING

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

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
