THE CURE BECOMES THE DISEASE
The Cure Becomes The Disease Whatever we are attracted to solve our problems – be it knowledge of science, religion, politics, literature, music, medicine, drugs, sex, conspiracies or just the latest ideas – ends up causing us dis-ease if we … Continue reading
THE SHOCK OF REALISATION IS ALMOST UNBEARABLE
The Shock Of Realisation Is Almost Unbearable Nine and a half billion people on this planet are unaware of their true reality, and so they’re not free. We just accept the status quo of following everyone else in our particular … Continue reading
YOU’RE THEM
You’re Them Until we know our true reality, we will live in the reality of others. Once, due to a predisposition and bias, we have adopted others’ ideas, we’ve lost our reality. Ideas are a magic show; we want to … Continue reading
BUDDHISM FOR TODAY
Buddhism For Today The quality of Buddhism is tested through compassion in our relationships. How empathetic are we? This is this age of conflict, and conflict requires people. Buddhism today is about compassion, or rather, the lack of it. Merely … Continue reading

BEING AT HOME WITH OUR SELF
Being At Home With Our Self It’s lovely – and such a relief – once we stop conforming. We totally misunderstand spirituality if we think that we have to be something different from the way we are. That is what … Continue reading
THE HEART IS THE ESSENCE OF PURE CONSCIOUSNESS
The Heart Is The Essence Of Pure Consciousness This is opposite to what people generally think of as their ‘heart’; we usually see ‘heart’ as our feelings, but that is merely a reaction in the same mind as our thoughts. … Continue reading
EVIL IS BANAL
Evil Is Banal We may think of evil as something terrible, but that extreme vision starts with a lack of understanding of our original nature. Evil lacks originality: it is banal and obvious, and obeys its programming without question. Our original … Continue reading
‘CONSPIRACY’ MEANS ‘SECRET PLAN’
‘Conspiracy’ Means ‘Secret Plan’ What do you think esoteric knowledge is? It is knowledge intended for the few; knowledge for the many is exoteric. Some secrets are there to protect us from misusing knowledge, while other secrets are kept with … Continue reading
OUR MINDS NEED CHALLENGING
Our Minds Need Challenging Our minds need challenging, otherwise we function habitually in auto-pilot. At the moment, we may think we’re normal when, in fact, we are living in a repetitive reality, saying and doing the same things every day … 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
CONFUSING CONSCIOUSNESS
Confusing Consciousness Confusing consciousness confuses us. Do we have consciousness, or are we consciousness? Two paths that lead in opposite directions. Because of this, we only communicate on a relative level. True communication is rare. Most humans believe that consciousness … Continue reading
CONSPIRACY
Conspiracy Is there a truth hidden from us in plain sight? Yes. Who is in on it? Everyone! The last thing anyone wants to look at is themselves – their true reality – because of a creation of a personal … Continue reading

SEX, DESIRE AND WISDOM
Sex, Desire And Wisdom If it wasn’t for sex and desire, we wouldn’t be here – and neither would our gurus. Being born allows us all to ‘wise up’ to our true reality, so we needn’t feel guilty. We are … Continue reading
FINDING OUR TRUE LINEAGE
Finding Our True Lineage Returning to our inner intention. Being happy. There is a lineage calling within us all: it is our path to enlightenment. This isn’t an organisation or tradition; it’s an inner longing. It isn’t hope; it’s more … Continue reading
FROM NOT KNOWING TO KNOWING, IN A MOMENT
From Not Knowing To Knowing, In A Moment From ignoring to realising, in a moment. We are usually too occupied and busy to realise our true reality, the source of absolute truth. When we stop being occupied for a moment, … Continue reading

WHAT IS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS?
What Is Pure Consciousness? The one absolute truth about pure consciousness is that it is already pure; we do not have to make it pure. Without knowing this, we remain imprisoned in falsehoods, dullness and guilt. It is the fact … Continue reading
ARE WE GHOSTS IN HUMAN FORMS?
Are We Ghosts In Human Forms? A ghost is merely consciousness lost in not knowing its true nature; because of this, it drifts around due to karma. The realisation of our true nature is both the purpose of life and … Continue reading
THE CHOSEN FEW
The Chosen Few The chosen few are the few who choose to realise their true reality. Many believe they are the way they are; a fixed self identity that cannot change. A few look at that fixated self identity and … Continue reading
IT TAKES TIME TO REALISE OUR REALITY
It Takes Time To Realise Our Reality The essence of the Dharma cannot be comprehended by the conventional mind. Hearing or reading about the Dharma is immediate, but that’s just information: to experience and realise the Dharma, we need a … Continue reading
SPIRITUALITY IS HARD-NOSED REALITY
Spirituality Is Hard-Nosed Reality which is the firm foundation for compassionate, hard-nosed reality. Hard-nosed: realistic, determined, tough-minded, unsentimental, down-to-earth, no-nonsense, pragmatic, clear-thinking, realistic, practical, rational, shrewd and astute. The opposite: sentimental, superstitious: believing in lucky charms, make-believe, fantasy: making exaggerated claims. To claim that we are ’empaths here to … Continue reading
