IT’S AMAZING
It’s Amazing Realising that we are pure consciousness isn’t amazing, because it’s our natural state. Just look, see and drop any claiming or identification. There’s nothing to shout about. What is amazing is that people don’t get it, even when … Continue reading

GOD 2

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
UNIVERSAL INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Universal Individual Consciousness Consciousness is universal, and is the essence of all sentient beings. This is not saying that there is one universal consciousness ‘out there’ which we emulate or are part of; it is the perfect being that we … Continue reading
IS THERE A GOD OR NOT?
Is There A God or Not? This is a pointless debate as it’s a personal issue. No one should impose their views on to others – and criticising those who believe/don’t believe is futile. What matters is how we feel … Continue reading
OUR MINDS NEED TO BE PROVOKED
Our Minds Need To Be Provoked If we lead a life trying not to cause harm, but don’t believe in God, will God hold that against us? If God doesn’t hold it against us, then we don’t need to believe … Continue reading

BELIEVING IN GOD; NOT BELIEVING IN GOD
Believing In God; Not Believing In God Belief is acceptance without proof. Believing in God; not believing in God. Believing in the Buddha; not believing in the Buddha. It doesn’t matter what we believe, as belief is in the mind. … Continue reading
GOD AND PURE CONSCIOUSNESS
God And Pure Consciousness It is said that God created … once. Pure consciousness does not create, but minds create all the time. To know anything – including God (external) – there has to be consciousness (internal) present. Which comes … Continue reading
NO GOD, NO ENLIGHTENED BEINGS?

MADYAMIKA – OCCAM’S RAZOR

PURE CONSCIOUSNESS CANNOT BE WRONG
Pure Consciousness Cannot Be Wrong Pure consciousness cannot be wrong. Therefore, it is good – of the highest standard. We are pure consciousness. Pure consciousness just sees, and therefore, Surprise! We cannot be wrong. So what is wrong? We don’t … Continue reading
GOD? OR NO GOD?
God? No God? One should reflect on the idea of intelligent design by ‘God’ or ‘Gods’. And questions naturally arise: Why did God bother? How are we in his or their own image? Does that mean we have the very … Continue reading

THE EXOTIC MASK, OR COMMON AS MUCK?
The Exotic Mask, Or Common As Muck? Exotic: foreign, or outside. It can also mean ‘foreign to us’, and can be the reason we want to move up a social class. We’re attracted by colourful or unusual characteristics, and therefore dissociate with the common, … Continue reading
REALISING GOD THROUGH BUDDHISM
Realising God Through Buddhism 🙂 There is nothing as satisfying as finding out something personally. It’s called realisation – and it’s liberating. Buddhists do not believe in God the creator. Christians do believe in God the creator. But is there … Continue reading

THAT’S WHAT THEY CALL GOD

STILL WORSHIPPING THE DEVIL?
Still Worshipping The Devil? What do the first two commandments in the bible really mean? “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.” Do not place anything in front of pure … Continue reading
SUDDENLY, I’M NOT ‘BUDDHIST’
Suddenly, I’m Not ‘Buddhist’ This may sound crazy … I am devoted to and have deep appreciation for the Buddha’s teaching, in the same way I have for the Vedas, Christ’s teaching, Plato, the reality in the Ten Commandments … and any … Continue reading
IS THERE GOD?
Is There God? Is there God?It all depends on view. In self identity, there is something relating to other. In the moment now, there is no relating:no identity, no other. Just oneness. Without proving, we will never know.

THE FINAL CONCLUSION
The Final Conclusion We are consciousness itself. We know this truth inherently, but due to the obscuring indoctrination we’ve experienced in life, we are unable to express it, and so we cling to a partial view: the resulting diversity divides … Continue reading
LIGHT AND ITS REFLECTION
