INNER PEACE TAKES DISCIPLINE
Inner Peace Takes Discipline There has always been unease in the world, because humans have two sides to them: reaction and inner peace. Discipline is maintaining this inner peace, which is our original state of pure consciousness. We choose sanity, … Continue reading
KINDRED SPIRITS
Kindred Spirits We have never met, but we recognise something similar to our own feeling. We see the world as absurd, but there is a correctness about it. We reap what we sow: cause and effect. We may feel jaded, … Continue reading

STILL STUPID AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
Still Stupid After All These Years😀 When we think that we know, this is merely a repetition of learnt facts and fossilised ideas. Actual knowing is in the present moment, when we let go of trained thoughts and look again. … Continue reading
DON’T OBSESS ABOUT MEDITATION
Don’t Obsess About Meditation Quality not quantity in meditation, even though quantity is promoted. Short moments, many times. When meditation just becomes a ritual, it’s not meditation. The real meditation is letting go, hence short moments, many times. Know why … Continue reading
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE BUDDHIST
You Don’t Have To Become Buddhist It’s all about our mindset. You don’t have to become Buddhist to realise the precious teaching of the Buddha, who realised the nature of our essence, the non-duality of appearances and recognition in the … Continue reading

NOTING HOW EASILY WE BECOME DISTRACTED
Noting How Easily We Become Distracted Counting the breath 10, 21, or 108 times in meditation helps us to stabilise and train our mind, or at least become aware how much we are not in control. It’s quite a shock … Continue reading
BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW …
Better The Devil You Know … “Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.” The devil has always been our own ego; our likes and dislikes. Our self-image, nice as we think we are, is immersed in a … Continue reading
ALL APPEARANCES ARE MIND IMAGES
All Appearances Are Mind Images Images appear in the mind, which is our essential nature of pure empty consciousness, free of contamination. It is only when we see this that emptiness can be realised. This is the only reality we … Continue reading
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LET GO
You Don’t Have To Let Go Letting go of emotions or ideas isn’t something we have to do: all that is necessary is to be aware. Purely aware. Pure awareness liberates thoughts and emotions naturally. Grasping does not exist in … Continue reading
HOW DO WE LET GO?
How Do We Let Go? It is arrogant to think one could answer such an important question, but if an answer arises, why not share it? 😉 How do we let go? This is dependent upon the level of understanding … Continue reading
