CONCEPTS/WORDS CLOUD THE MIND
Concepts/Words Cloud The Mind Pure mind is pure consciousness; it’s the clarity of what we are. Clarity is beyond words. It’s that simple. When consciousness becomes lost in concepts/words, we lose that clarity, and become confused. We, in truth, are beyond words. … Continue reading
HAVE WE BEEN DUPED?
Have We Been Duped? Duped: deceived, duplicated. Unless we know what the real thing is, it is impossible to recognise a deception. When we believe, we are part of a duplication system of ideas which demands conformity. Our minds have been guided; … Continue reading
REALISATION IS NOTHING SPECIAL … REALLY
Realisation Is Nothing Special … Really It’s a relief that it’s nothing special, attainable only by those who are special. Making pure consciousness special detracts from its ordinariness, which is unwavering from moment to moment. It is orderly. Perception, via the senses, … Continue reading

APPRECIATING OUR REALITY
Appreciating Our Reality Appreciating that we are pure consciousness is the only means for a better world. Oblivious to this realisation, most of us prefer to wander around amusing ourselves with past times and hearsay, which drives us to distraction. … Continue reading

BUDDHISM DESTROYS BUDDHISM
Buddhism Destroys Buddhism In the moment of pure consciousness, we drop all ideas. The meditation, me, the Buddha, Buddhism … everything goes.
CONSCIOUSNESS IS SUBJECTIVE
Consciousness Is Subjective Ordinary consciousness is subjective: it’s all about me. Pure consciousness is objective: there is no time for a me.
THE TRUTH IS HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT
The Truth Is Hidden In Plain Sight Plain: not decorated or elaborate, simple or basic in character without a pattern or colour bearing no indication as to contents or affiliation.

THE BACKBONE OF THE BUDDHA’S TEACHING
The Backbone Of The Buddha’s Teaching Seeing and the seen are inseparable. Whatever is seen is only seen by virtue of just seeing. Just seeing is pure consciousness; it’s our original reality. Once realised, whatever is seen is a spontaneous … Continue reading
PURE CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
Pure Consciousness Is The Elephant In The Room The ‘elephant in the room’ is a metaphor for something that is obvious but no one mentions because it makes us feel uncomfortable. We will talk for hours about other matters, but never about our … Continue reading
DO WE BINGE ON TEACHINGS?

“IS THIS OR ISN’T THIS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS?”

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
