GOODNESS IS SEEING CLEARLY
Goodness Is Seeing Clearly Goodness is seeing clearly; pure consciousness. When we see clearly, we know what to do and, by definition, we know what not to do – and therefore, only goodness will come from that. The Buddha said, … Continue reading
PURE CONSCIOUSNESS CANNOT BE WRONG
Pure Consciousness Cannot Be Wrong Pure consciousness cannot be wrong. Therefore, it is good – of the highest standard. We are pure consciousness. Pure consciousness just sees, and therefore, Surprise! We cannot be wrong. So what is wrong? We don’t … Continue reading
THE WISDOM OF SILENCE
The Wisdom Of Silence It doesn’t matter what we think, say or do; all that is merely conjecture – an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information. It’s old-news second-hand memories in the mind to which we constantly – and … Continue reading
YOUR KARMA IS UNIQUE
Your Karma Is Unique Your karma is unique; this is why we shouldn’t follow anyone else’s karma/ways. Gurus lump us altogether under their system, and that can never work as we become a copy, an imitation. We can learn everything … Continue reading
MERE INFORMATION SEPARATES US
Mere Information Separates Us Mere information separates us. Unbiased experience doesn’t. Information is merely theory – a belief. Defending theories and beliefs is defending the indefensible because they haven’t been proven yet. Theory: an idea used to account for a situation or justify a course of action. Invent a … Continue reading
ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL
One Size Doesn’t Fit All The ultimate truth is our essential nature of pure consciousness. It is how we can know anything and everything. There is absolutely no point in believing in the existence of an external reality if there … Continue reading
IDEALISM: GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES = THEORIES
Idealism: Going Round In Circles = Theories The reason why Idealism does not satisfy. If we’re going round in circles, we prefer theories to actual direct experience. Idealism is ideas-ism, idealising words and theories. It’s the devil’s work, and meant … Continue reading
THE PROBLEM FOR A BUDDHA
The Problem For A Buddha The problem for the Buddha, Jesus and other enlightened beings is that their teachings are turned into religions. This has the effect of either gathering believers in ritual or putting people off for ever, and … Continue reading

IT’S A VERY STUPID WORLD!
It’s A Very Stupid World! It’s a very stupid but spiritually-enhancing world. We live in a world, creeping to ever-new heights of stupidity. How is this achieved? By making people dependent and therefore stupid, and then demanding restrictions and limitations … Continue reading
POLICING CONFORMITY
Policing Conformity Policing conformity is achieved through belief. As long as we react the same way as others, we conform to a belief. Belief can create wonderful ‘things’ and achievements, but they are all distractions to hold us to belief. … Continue reading

THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT
The Great Disappointment Realisation is disappointing. It’s no big deal. And even though we realise what we are, a great sadness arises as others haven’t yet realised that they are pure consciousness. This is where the real work begins in … Continue reading
SPIRITUALITY CAN BE A PRISON
Spirituality Can Be A Prison Doubt imprisons us. Once we understand the principle of any activity, we are free to go away and develop it. When we get a glimpse that we are pure consciousness, meditation verifies it. If people … Continue reading
WHAT IS REALISED CANNOT BE UNREALISED
What Is Realised Cannot Be Unrealised Once we realise what we actually are – pure consciousness – then the whole of our history unravels, along with whatever is taking place now. We realise that everything we’ve been told is part … Continue reading
CLUELESS ABOUT OUR ORIGINAL NATURE
Clueless About Our Original Nature Clueless: having no knowledge, understanding or ability. Thinking we know, understand and have ability is just an act. We are clueless when we acquire others’ ideas, but have not tested these for ourselves. If we … Continue reading
APATHY IN CONSCIOUSNESS
Apathy In Consciousness Apathy is being indifferent to whatever goes on in our mind. We’d rather be drawn into what is going on ‘out there’. This is demonic activity in action = distraction/entertainment which is spiritual laziness. Spirituality is just … Continue reading
PROTECTING DIVERSITY … REALLY?
Protecting Diversity … Really? On a relative level, protecting diversity is protecting separation, rather than unity. This tells us everything that we need to know about current agendas, which create conflict, confusion and cultural collapse by dis-integration in the guise … Continue reading

MESSING WITH OUR MIND

WHO CAN I TRUST?
Who Can I Trust? Well, we cannot trust our self, as our self is merely an acquisition of ideas of others (who, in turn, trust others’ ideas 🙂 ) So, we cannot trust anyone – not even a Buddha. “Don’t … Continue reading
WHY THIS BLOG ISN’T PUBLICISED

REPEATING LABELS
Repeating Labels Label: a classifying phrase or name applied to a person or thing, especially one that is inaccurate or restrictive. We label ourselves as this or that, placing a nameplate on our prison door.

OUR ENEMY IS NOT OUR ENEMY
Our Enemy Is Not Our Enemy In the material world, an enemy is not a friend. The world will always be full of ‘wrongness’. In the world of pure consciousness, however, an enemy is our reaction and, in recognising this, … Continue reading
SELF & ESSENCE
Self & Essence Self is merely a collection of thought-projections in the mind that essence (pure consciousness) perceives: when consciousness forgets its purity, it clings to these projections, creating a sense of I. We are, firstly, consciousness. The purity comes … Continue reading
IF LIFE IS SELF-REPLICATING
If Life Is Self-Replicating If life is self-replicating, what is the need for a creator? Was there a start to this self-replicating, or has it being happening forever, in an infinite universe? Life is consciousness, but if consciousness mistakes creation … Continue reading
