WHERE ARE WE AT?
Where Are We At? ‘Direct recognition’ describes the moment when something is presented to us and we ‘get it’. Certain texts are like that – from personal experience,“The Lamp That Dispels Darkness” comes to mind. Because of direct recognition, practitioners … Continue reading
HOLDING A GRUDGE
Holding A Grudge Holding a grudge is a feeling of resentment resulting from injustice, unfairness or downright perceived stupidity; it will affect our entire lives, to the extent of creating hatred and further wrongdoing. We all make mistakes, more or … Continue reading
THE TWO IGNORANCES
The Two Ignorances Ignorance of our true nature, and maintenance of that ignorance: the origin and maintenance of sin. It may be hard to accept that exaggeration about our self turns into a life of lies. The two ignorances – … Continue reading

THE DUALISTS
The Dualists We sentient humans live and believe in a state of duality. Duality means two. Everything is related to me. In spiritual terms, consciousness is always relating to something. Me and other. This is so ‘normal’ for humans that … Continue reading
HOW DID I BECOME SO CONFUSED?
How Did I Become So Confused? Confused: a person unable to think clearly; bewildered, as thoughts are mingled together. If we know that we are confused, then we know something. That ‘knowing something’ is knowingness itself. The recognition of knowing … Continue reading
