WHILE MY KEYBOARD GENTLY WEEPS
While My Keyboard Gently Weeps We became perverted through the feeding of our desires, maintaining obsession and addiction. Through unhappiness, we chase after rainbows which are impossible to attain. Our natural state is already happy. ‘Hap’ means fortunate or lucky, … Continue reading
THE ATTAINABLE CHASING THE UNATTAINABLE
The Attainable Chasing The Unattainable This is the dilemma we are in: there is an ever-present consciousness using the mind to find consciousness. It’s what intellectuals try to do, and they can never come to a conclusion. We are consciousness, … Continue reading

STRIVING IS THE OPPOSITE TO HAPPINESS
Striving Is The Opposite To Happiness Happiness is our natural state. It means that we are content with our lives, and we know what we are doing and why. We only strive and create stress by trying to keep up … Continue reading
BEYOND LIKES AND DISLIKES
Beyond Likes And Dislikes As ordinary people, we know what and whom we like, dislike or ignore, and we become those decisions in life. This isn’t our natural state; it’s acquired. We are not specialists or practitioners. We just decide, … Continue reading

“I CAN’T MEDITATE.”
“I CAN’T MEDITATE” “I can’t meditate.” “You don’t want to.” “I can meditate.” “Then stop.” Meditation is not doing anything. It is merely recognising awareness – purely awareness. We get so fascinated with the contents of the mind that we … Continue reading
