The I-thought reduces you, that which is irreducible, diminishes you, that which is undiminishable, defines you, that which is undefinable. Without the inquiry into the I-thought, you become its prey. The wheel of samsara spins endlessly until you inquire into the belief and feeling that you are a…
Looking deeply into the emotions
No matter what the life condition is, if one is capable of looking deeply into the emotions, one comes onto their emptiness. Not many have heard this message and few are able to hear this message. Not many who hear it are able to comprehend it and live it. For many it may be premature. A seed…
The mind perceives object and does not perceive the source
The mind perceives object and does not perceive the source that creates it and perceives it. The light of Being creates/shines as mind but is not defined by what it creates/shines upon and as. Irrespective of how it shines it remains as it is, whole and complete. Beyond the narrow confines of the…
Your true nature is un-caused. Whatever is caused is a mind event and changes with changing circumstances. Water takes on the shape of ice, steam, rivers, oceans . while remaining water. In pursuing states, we overlook the eternal stateless, we overlook the peace and happiness that we already are.…
REMAIN AS YOU ARE Within thought, there is an imagined me, a personal self in an imaginary future. But not really. There is no time. Time is thought, mind impressions. Floating images in the open space of awareness that dreams all dreams without ever being affected by its infinite dreams. Remain as…
While dreams appear to you You do not appear
While dreams appear to you You do not appear While body mind impressions appear to you You do not appear All appearances arise out of you and are at zero distance from you Like heat appears out of fire Like wetness appears out if water Like words appear out of silence Zero distance. One whole…
Reality, truth cannot be expressed in words
Reality, truth cannot be expressed in words. It can only be known as our direct experience. Words can point and draw a rendition or representation of truth. Words are pointers but awakening is beyond words. It is helpful when the listening is the openness and not the engaged mind which is…
Be clear about what you are seeking and honoring.
Be clear about what you are seeking and honoring. If it is on behalf of the me, it maintains the unhappy sense of separate self and other. Contemplate the belief and feeling that I am a mortal body mind, that I is a form that is born. As long as this position is not investigated, it continues to…
When you say reality is ‘this’ or ‘this is it’, you may be on point or you may be off
When you say reality is ‘this’ or ‘this is it’, you may be on point or you may be off depending on what you are referring to. If by ‘this is it’ you are referring to body mind matter, you are off since you are referring to manifestation, you are referring to nama rupa (name and form) which are mind…
The separate self you take yourself to be is a mind impression
The separate self you take yourself to be is a mind impression that is maintained in thoughts and feelings but that is not found anywhere else. Getting lost in world, thoughts, emotions, feelings and sensations does not reveal the Self, does not clear the stage, does not bring you the tranquility…
A stirring me-mind is not happy
A stirring me-mind is not happy as it is in the business of resistance and pursuing on behalf of an illusory personal character. Thought is infected with the I-thought and perceives an internal self, an external world body mind. Thus it is unavoidable for the I-thought to seek happiness in the…

A seeming arising Like sunshine Thought arises Like breath Mentation seemingly appears Like mist A seeming arising The stirring of separation I am an object A mind impression arising In so called time and space Thought impression And so-called feeling That echoes a personal self Echoes And echoes…
There is this inner knowingness, A silent inner light, That has no name and no form
On some level If you insist One could say that We are human beings Why not? We name everything Since we can We do Why not name this realm As a human realm Since we can name, we do But what does it mean? There is this inner knowingness A silent inner light That has no name and no form Cannot be…
About memory ~~~ memory arises as a current thought and gives rise to the impression of time. In fact, all appearances refer to the eternity of presence in which and out of which they appear and are made of. Memory does not affect presence. Memory may be a useful tool for navigation purposes. It…
Before thought becomes an object which relates to a separate subject, thought is intimate and impersonal. Thought is cosmic, like the weather. The personal identification is an add-on that creates the unhappy illusion of a separate subject. From a conversation with a friend: What is thought? Is it…
The root cause of unhappiness is the belief that ‘I’ refers to a mortal body mind. As soon as you are identified as a person, you become an object among infinite objects and subject to myriad conditions that affect you. How happy is that? How desirable is that? As Bob Newhart so well said: Drop it!…
Look at nobody and no one as your guide. Above all, realize you are alone, completely alone as all-one. Your all-oneness is complete and lacks no-thing. You are everything and nothing is possible without you, as everything and everyone is you. Don't worry about the labels of the mind. They are…

Old patterns lose their grip as I am no longer party to their charade…
Old patterns lose their grip as I am no longer party to their charade. I recognize the wholeness of being, undivided, indivisible. I recognize the abundance of the Self That appears as the sunshine As the smile of a child, as the song of the birds As the reflection of the sun onto the surface of…

The world of form Appears Thus it is an appearance Like all appearances It disappears What is the substance of that which appears and disappears? Like all night dreams Like the weather The substance of the world body mind Is its dreamer. We have never known a world Outside of ourself. The home of…
WHAT IS MIND REALITY? There is but one reality which imbues everything with itself. It manifests as everything, embracing everything and everyone in its selfless unconditional love. The mind separates creating the impression of separate realities and imposes conditions on the unconditional. It…
