BEING A CONSTANT PESSIMIST
Being A Constant Pessimist Pessimism: a belief that this world is as bad as it could be or that evil will ultimately prevail over goodness. Being governed by negativity, we will find fault in everything – except ourselves – as we … Continue reading
WE ARE ENCODED TOWARDS EVIL
We Are Encoded Towards Evil Encode: convert into a coded form. Evil: intending harm. In other words, evil has unconscious followers, harming the tone of the atmosphere. Evil is wanting power over others. We all like to win a debate, … Continue reading
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
Divide And Conquer Being put in the impossible situation of having to accept divisive chaos and confusion, we must remain silent, or receive the consequences. Of course, there are agents who provoke a situation; they are always part of the … Continue reading

ONE CONSCIOUSNESS OR INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESSES?
One Consciousness Or Individual Consciousnesses? Are we only one pure consciousness? Or are we individual pure consciousnesses? We all express experiences differently, but in the essence of silent, pure, non-dual consciousness, there is only unity. There isn’t even the words … Continue reading
THE MYSTERY MACHINE
The Mystery Machine We like mysteries because they’re something that’s difficult or impossible to understand and explain. They entertain us. Watching a magician’s deception, we like to believe, and choose to ignore how it’s done. This path of the impossible … Continue reading
WHAT ARE THE LEVELS … OF GOODNESS?
What Are The Levels … Of Goodness? What is goodness? Well, it isn’t something holy, so that’s a relief. This is where we’ve been going wrong, by believing in mystery and intercessors. Goodness is caring. Caring comes from understanding; understanding … Continue reading

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING GOOD
The Responsibility Of Being Good It’s no big deal. Goodness is our conduct. It isn’t squeezing ourselves into something we’re not. We don’t have to be a clever scholar or a smothering zealot. We just have to listen, see, smell, … Continue reading
GOODNESS IS SEEING CLEARLY
Goodness Is Seeing Clearly Goodness is seeing clearly; pure consciousness. When we see clearly, we know what to do and, by definition, we know what not to do – and therefore, only goodness will come from that. The Buddha said, … Continue reading
WHAT IS GOODNESS?
What Is Goodness? It’s interesting that we find it difficult to define goodness, as we’re confused and doubt that we can actually know. Some may say this ‘not knowing’ is because of original sin. We do make life complicated, don’t … Continue reading

GOODNESS IS CLARITY
Goodness Is Clarity If we aren’t clear, we aren’t so good. We are speaking of the psychology of spiritual pure consciousness which is the spontaneous presence of pure being. It’s not what we think about consciousness intellectually that matters; it’s … Continue reading
GOOD AND EVIL
Good And Evil As we refine our understanding, we see more subtle demonic activity in the world. Demonic or evil activity is anything that intentionally causes harm to the body, speech or mind of sentient beings, limiting that understanding. If … Continue reading

ARE WE A CONDUIT FOR GOOD OR EVIL?
Are We A Conduit For Good Or Evil? The realisation that we could be on the path of evil is a shock, and this is why realisation opens us up to the truth about what governs our minds. Then, we … Continue reading

EVIL CAN NEVER HAVE POWER OVER GOODNESS
Evil Can Never Have Power Over Goodness Why not? Goodness is a pure heart; it is pure consciousness that can never be deceived, whereas the mind can. Know the difference. Evil intent has no insight, and cannot recognise the emptiness … Continue reading

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER
One Way Or Another Humans have the potential for enlightenment, but are, unfortunately, malleable. When we forget what goodness is, we swap it for sentimentality, and become vulnerable and easily scared. Everything comes about due to causes and conditions: being … Continue reading
GOODNESS KNOWS WHY
Goodness Knows Why Why does goodness know? Goodness is naturalness, and there is nothing more natural than pure consciousness. It is our natural, essential being – the essence of knowingness itself. It’s where love, empathy and compassion come from, as … Continue reading

HOW DO I SEE GOOD IN ALL THAT I SEE?

HOW DO I SEE SOMETHING GOOD IN EVERYTHING I SEE?
How Do I See Something Good In Everything I See? Easy! Goodness is exactly the seeing itself. Goodness is the quality of being good or right. What could be more good or right than the purity of that seeing? Of … Continue reading
