IS LIFE REPEATING ITSELF?
Is Life Repeating Itself? Is life repeating itself, or are we repeating ourselves? As long as we hold on to ideas, these ideas will influence whatever we do and say, and so this attitude becomes our lot in life. We … Continue reading

NOT REALISING THE TROUBLE WE ARE IN
Not Realising The Trouble We Are In Not realising the trouble we’re in, we plod along in chaos and confusion, and think it’s normal. Realisation is seeing that this ‘trouble’ has no reality and is the perfect place to be. … Continue reading

WE LIVE IN STORIES
We Live In Stories We live in stories, memories, mental recordings that we replay. It’s what reincarnates at every moment, and causes us to remain fixated. Everyone wants to be ‘in the loop’ – in a circle of individuals who think … Continue reading
REAL JOY
Real Joy We live in confusion, and have a gross misunderstanding of everything, often with a false security that makes us feel vulnerable and unstable. For some, this is totally unsatisfactory. We look for something better, and spend time in … Continue reading

DOES DEATH MATTER?
Does Death Matter? It will happen anyway. What we think happens at death will have an affect on how we live. Death will happen anyway, so why not consider all possibilities about what may occur then? If we do not … Continue reading

ARE THERE HIGHER BEINGS IN THE UNIVERSE?
Are There Higher Beings In The Universe? This question can only be answered by each individual, based on their experiences. I say ‘experiences’ because inspiration has to happen regularly to be more than a coincidence. Reason says that things happen … Continue reading
ALIENS – WHO NEEDS SPACESHIPS?
Aliens – Who Needs Spaceships? Aliens are embodied beings … us! If there is life after death, we all transmigrate. In the Tibetan Book Of The Bardo, consciousness is said to be nine times more acute after death than in … Continue reading
EMPATHY IS CONDOLENCE
Empathy Is Condolence Condolence: late 16th century: Latin condolere, from con- ‘with’ + dolere ‘grieve, suffer’. Paying attention to others’ confusion with an unbiased attitude not only teaches us about our biased behaviour, but it’s also a safeguard against arrogance, and being unable to control our … Continue reading
WHO OR WHAT CREATED SELF?
Who Or What Created Self? Who or what created self? God? Chemicals? Karma? The creationists and the evolutionists present obvious arguments. There is another possibility, but it won’t suit everyone. What created this moment of us being here? The previous … Continue reading
THE PROOF OF REINCARNATION
The Proof Of Reincarnation It stands to reason, but not for everyone. 🙂 From big bangs, nebula / stardust forms to give rise to the next solar system, creating all phenomena – even our bodies. All phenomena eventually gives up … Continue reading
IF THIS IS OUR ONLY LIFE …
If This Is Our Only Life … If this is the only life that we have, what are we doing with this one, precious time? Our reality is pure consciousness – the essence of enlightenment – without which nothing can … Continue reading
WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE
We Are All Going To Die 😀 Death is inevitable. Each moment dies for the next moment to occur. Each moment has an effect on the next moment. What we did previously has an effect on what we are doing … Continue reading
A QUESTION TO REVEAL OUR SELF
A Question To Reveal Our Self This could be applied to any question or assertion used to reveal our actual state of mind, rather than the state of mind we like to portray to others. Until enlightenment, we will all … Continue reading

IN PRAISE OF REINCARNATION
In Praise Of Reincarnation Two views:Does such an idea do harm or is it of benefit? For most of us, reincarnation is a belief and isn’t worth considering, so we do whatever we want, with no long term feeling of … Continue reading
IF THERE IS NO REINCARNATION
If There Is No Reincarnation If there is no reincarnation, then there can be no enlightenment. If there is no enlightenment, then there is no point to unconditional love. If there is no unconditional love, then our short life is … Continue reading
WHAT IF WE DO TAKE IT WITH US WHEN WE GO?
What If We Do Take It With Us When We Go? Take what? A quality of consciousness, an inclination. If consciousness can come into this body, could it not also leave? Are we just electro-chemicals, or consciousness within electro-chemical bodies? … Continue reading
REINCARNATION; IS IT WORTH THE GAMBLE?
Reincarnation; Is It Worth The Gamble? If we see this life as the only reality, then it doesn’t matter what we do as there are no long term consequences, unless we belong to an organisation or belief system, where we … Continue reading
