DON’T MISTAKE INFORMATION FOR INTELLIGENCE
Don’t Mistake Information For Intelligence Likewise, don’t mistake teachings on consciousness for realisation. We act on information: intelligence sees the act. We do not become wise through information. We become wise through the experience of testing and, to test, we … Continue reading

LIFE AFTER REALISATION
Life After Realisation It’s okay being you! This me is the conveyance to enlightenment. That which we call me is certainly an illusion as it is a temporary arrangement of body and mindset, but now we see it and use … 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
ANGER AND EMPATHY ARE INSEPARABLE
Anger And Empathy Are Inseparable What makes us angry? It is obsessing about others’ obsessive behaviour. What makes us compassionate? It is the ability to empathise, because we know how it feels to be obsessive. So, when we recognise our … Continue reading

GIVE UP THE DHARMA TO REALISE THE DHARMA
Give Up The Dharma To Realise The Dharma We will never realise the Dharma by listening or reading about the Dharma. “But I want the original, authentic teaching!” This is why the Buddha said, “Don’t take my word for it; … Continue reading

We Don’t Need To Evolve We don’t need to evolve. We need to devolve. Evolution is devolution. We evolve into our true nature by devolving the mud we created. By simply recognising that we have transferred our consciousness to a lower … Continue reading
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE BUDDHIST
