The intimacy of being/awareness. Although the ‘content’ of awareness is limited, awareness is not. In fact, awareness has no ‘content’. That is simply a way of speaking.

About being here. Here is not a place. Here is being. Being is not being somebody; it is being being, being presence, being the nameless wordless totality. The love, the beauty, the sweet not-knowingness of presence, of awareness. Being here as absence is seamless presence. Resting as being, there…
Sometimes the word awareness can lead us into confusion as to what we mean by it. If I may propose:Rather than the word awareness, we can turn our attention to the word reality. Via contemplation, inquiry, reflection and reasoning, we can come to the understanding of the undeniable reality of…

Beyond the mental understanding
A truth lover is well served by being careful not to remain with the mental understanding. It is one thing to know about the ocean and it is another thing to be the ocean. Once ignorance is removed, and Self/Awareness is revealed, it does not matter whether mind exists or not because the mind is an…
I, awareness permeates the entire experience
When the mind is silent as well when the mind is active, I/Aware presence permeates the entire experience. One could say that when the mind is silent, I/aware presence permeates experience knowingly. When the mind is active, although I/aware presence does permeate the entire experience, the…
Sensations appear to us, which we refer to as body. Perceptions appear to us, which we refer to as world. Mentation appears to us, thinking, feeling, sensing, imagining, which we refer to as mind. Contemplation reveals that consciousness/awareness, which we know as I, is the reality of…
When you drop the critical mind
When you drop the critical mind, when you do not maintain the judgemental mind and remain as you are, the wholeness of being/awareness may be available to you. There is no separation in gods eyes. You need to uproot the old tendencies of differentiation and nurture the love that unites us all. The…

The key thing in contemplation is the contemplation of reality. Who cares about anything that is not real? What is the point of having all sorts of theories and discussions about that which is not real? It makes sense to stick with reality because reality is absolute. You will be wasting your…
Is a stone conscious? Is everything conscious?
About: is a stone conscious? Is everything conscious? Is a bird or a cat conscious? ~~~ Consciousness refers to the knowingness that I am and the knowingness that I am aware. Namely, I know I am and I know I am aware. Whatever it is that knows I am and that I am aware is ever present, meaning it is…
In god's eyes, everything is holy. Everywhere you are is holiness. Contemplate the wholeness of being without any differentiation. Being/awareness is your true nature, the reality of experience, independent of time and space. Do not interrupt your inquiry and meditation as thinking attempts to lead…
The innate peace of being/awareness
Everything that appears to you refers to the innate peace of being/awareness. The mind that looks outwardly overlooks the Self, overlooks the transparency of being/awareness which is the knowing spaciousness of being. When you contemplate the true I that I refers to, you will come to realize…
Freedom from personal concern is not possible as long as you consider yourself a person living in time and space. When we make real that which is illusory, when we give reality to that Which is impermanent, we overlook the reality of being/awareness, we overlook the totality of being, and we suffer…
Upon slapping a mortal form onto the formless I/awareness
Upon slapping a mortal form onto the formless I/awareness, you reduce yourself to an imagined form and you suffer the consequences of cause and effect. Once you believe yourself to be an object, an imagined body mind, you become subject to this condition and you live the impact of dependence and…
Yes, all manifestation is impermanent. But I/consciousness is not. ~~~ As long as we remain at the body mind level, we overlook awareness/consciousness which is transparent and the reality of our experience. It is not sufficient to live in presence. We also need to contemplate the reality of our…
Desire for an object refers to a separate self which is desiring a separate object. Such desire maintains the sense of separation and the sense of lack. Desire for truth, desire for freedom, for love and beauty is different in that such a desire is not for an object. It is desire for the end of…
It does not matter what arises on the screen. What matters is how and as what you meet what appears.
It does not matter what arises on the screen. What matters is how and as what you meet what appears. When a personal self, when a separate entity meets what arises on the screen of awareness, you experience a contracted mind with concern and feelings of insufficiency and incompleteness. As…

Truth is our true nature. That which we truly are. Truth is that which is eternal and infinite. Beyond the limitations of thinking and perceiving. When you contemplate your experience, you may find that the reality of your experience is not what appears to you. Truth is you, awareness. I, aware…
Awareness We assume that someone has the sense of I. We assume that someone knows I Am/awareness. We overlook thatOnly I has the sense of IThe sense of I belongs to IThe knowing of I belongs to INot to someone. Not to a form. Only awareness is aware. There is no one who is aware. I refers to…
Mostly when we say I, we are referring to the me-feeling. Meaning the sense of being an individual entity. Upon knowing oneself, we refer to I as the ultimate reality of being awareness. Although there is no separate self, we are not knowing of our true nature, until we are. The waking state is our…
'Only awareness is aware' This conversation is a dream conversation, and thus not a conversation. There is no one truly having a conversation. It is mind. And yet, there is no mind. True meaning of awareness:** 'There is no separate reality'** 'The numerical world is dream' Which does not leave 1…
