BEING WEIRD: CONSCIOUSLY CONTROLLING OUR DESTINY
Being Weird: Consciously Controlling Our Destiny Weird: Late Middle English, originally meaning ‘having the power to control destiny’; unearthly. If we have no control over life, and merely follow collective ideas as our ancestors did, we are born, work, have a family, leave offspring and die. Animals, insects, … Continue reading

CONSCIOUSNESS IS VERIFIABLE
Consciousness Is Verifiable Realisation is the ability of consciousness to verify its own purity while resolving all karmic fixations, thereby attaining enlightenment. But what do we do now? Hint: Our path is clarifying our confusion that never existed.

HOW CAN I BECOME PURE?
How Can I Become Pure? We are nothing but purity – pure consciousness – for, without that, we wouldn’t be able to see clearly. We just have to get the picture straight, as it’s a bit wonky at the moment … Continue reading
BUDDHISM: LOGICAL CONCLUSIONS
Buddhism: Logical Conclusions Buddhism isn’t a religion. It is spiritual guidance for consciousness. Our salvation and sanity come through our own efforts to realise the truth about consciousness. We attain realisation through knowledge, not prayer. Through knowledge, we recognise the … Continue reading
WALKING WITH DEMONS
Walking With Demons We all walk around with demons inside our minds in the form of negative emotions or criticisms. These demons may originate from trauma in early years which exaggerate our existing likes and dislikes. At first meeting, people … Continue reading
