OBLIVIOUS TO OUR REALITY
Oblivious To Our Reality Oblivious to our reality: it’s quite shocking that most inhabitants of this planet are unaware of what they are. We are, first and foremost, pure consciousness by which everything can be known. If we do not … Continue reading
SO FEW GET IT
So Few Get It So few realise their true reality that never changes. Most think consciousness is something that they have, and that’s it; they vaguely assume that there is more, but that it’s unknowable. This is precisely what belief … Continue reading
PROSTRATING TO A PEDESTAL
Prostrating To A Pedestal Pedestal: the base for a statue. Putting someone on a pedestal: to think of someone as a perfect person with no faults. In Tibetan Buddhism, we call the teacher ‘Rinpoche’; the precious one. Other traditions give other titles, … Continue reading
HOW DO WE PROVE OUR REALITY?
How Do We Prove Our Reality? What we think of as our reality is merely a fixation in the mind. That is our global prison. We can only be free when, through analysis and meditation, we clear the mind of … Continue reading
IF WE ARE NOT TOLD THE TRUTH
If We Are Not Told The Truth If we’re not told the truth, what are we being told? If we’re not told the truth, then maybe – consciously or unconsciously – we are being told misunderstandings and untruths. If we … Continue reading
OUR REALITY ISN’T SOMETHING FOREIGN
Our Reality Isn’t Something Foreign It’s not strange, unfamiliar or exotic. Being attracted to such notions, we fall for, are fascinated by and maintain the ‘mystery’. Because we make reality a ‘mystery’, this fosters intolerance and hostility in others. The result … Continue reading
DAMNED BY DISTRACTIONS
Damned By Distractions We are damned by distractions. This is why we meditate – to recognise that we are the clarity of consciousness. Distraction: A thing that prevents someone from concentrating. Distraction: A disturbance, intrusion, interference, obstruction, hindrance. Distraction: Amusement, entertainment, diversion, pastime, recreation, hobby, game, leisure pursuit. Distraction: Bewilderment, befuddlement, perplexity, confusion, disturbance, agitation. We do not have to be … Continue reading
IS GETTING BACK TO NORMAL THE ‘GREAT RESET’?
Is Getting Back To Normal The ‘Great Reset’? First we have to know what true normal is. Normal: according to a standard. But whose standard? Ultimately, normal is our original, pure, carefree spirit – pure consciousness. We get moments of … Continue reading
IT’S AN INSIDE JOB
It’s An Inside Job We live in stressful, confusing and modified times.Who caused this to happen? It’s an inside job. Who invaded our minds?Who allowed it to happen? It’s an inside job. If we don’t realise our true inner reality,we … Continue reading

TRUTH ISN’T AN EXAGGERATION
Truth Isn’t An Exaggeration To build our reality, we may use errors, omissions, distortions, restructuring, denial, minimisations, exaggerations, justifications. The only reality is in the seeing without comment.Seeing isn’t believing; it’s knowing. An exaggeration is not the truth:it is stretching the truth … Continue reading
Heaven And Hell Are Not Separate
Heaven And Hell Are Not Separate … and never were! Who on Earth con-vinced humanity that heaven and hell were different places?They are as inseparable as a mirror and its reflections – and it’s all in the mind. 😀 The concept … Continue reading

ARE WE BEING CHEMICALLY AND MENTALLY PRIMED?
Are We Being Chemically And Mentally Primed? It isn’t one chemical or idea that turn us: it is a build up of chemicals and ideas in our substructure, this is why it is difficult to see a cause. Everything comes … Continue reading
THEY KNEW THE TRUTH THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO
They Knew The Truth Thousands Of Years Ago So what has happened? Only you can decide. The truth was – and is – that we are beings of consciousness. We are the very essence of consciousness, pure and simple. Consciousness … Continue reading
IT’S OBVIOUS WHEN POINTED OUT
It’s Obvious When Pointed Out So what is the problem? Our reality – pure consciousness – has been obscured by distractions for millennia. The ancients knew the truth, and this essential teaching has been handed down to us. We have, … Continue reading

SELF-CONTROL; SELF-MASTERY
Self-Control; Self-Mastery It’s easy to say, “Self-control” and “Self-mastery” but, with so much distraction, this topic may be difficult to comprehend. We usually take self-control and self-mastery to denote holding back our reactions, but here, it doesn’t mean that. ‘Holding … Continue reading
THIS SERIOUS WORLD HEALTH CRISIS
This Serious World Health Crisis This serious world health crisis could become even more serious. COVID-19 is a serious world health issue. We’re right to be concerned, and action is needed to protect those with poor immune systems, and contain … Continue reading
“THAT’S TOO DEEP FOR ME!”
“That’s Too Deep For Me” People are fooled into believing that they cannot see “That’s too deep for me!”This is a phrase I often hear when the subject of consciousness is brought up in conversations. I explain that consciousness is … Continue reading
