A comment about fate. Whose fate? Fate is on behalf of someone, on behalf of a separate person. Fate falls under the impression of me in time and space. Past and future which are both the product of thinking and feeling. Consciousness is reality and does not exist in time and space. There is no…
From the personal self perspective, it is not possible to speak about consciousness with any authority. Why so? Because, as a personal self, we are starting with the unexamined belief that consciousness is limited and personal. This belief gets in the way and veils (infects) our capacity to…
You ask: What is sweet sorrow? A sweet feeling of sorrow/sadness that is not triggered by a personal story, desire or sense of lack. Rather it is the recollection of love that was shared. This may be towards a friend who has left or passed or towards a pet we shared some time with. It is different…
The mind is always doing something
The mind will always be doing something. Meaning the activities of thinking and feeling may go on. Sometimes sweet and gentle. other times thunderous and loud. That is how thinking feeling operate. When we remain as we are, meaning when we are not defining ourselves via the activity of thinking and…
Personal love as a state is temporal and is not true since behind such a love hides the separate self with all its conditions, demands, judgements and expectations. Love is eternal, all embracing, unconditional and unwavering. It is our true nature. States are coloring of mind and represent Shiva’s…
Is experience the cause of suffering?
Is experience the cause of suffering? Perceiving a butterfly is an experience. Drinking a glass of water or recollecting my sweet cat is also an experience. There is no suffering there. Suffering is the sense of separation, which is the belief and feeling that there is a separate personal…
Throughout all experience, I am there. The light of awareness. Irrespective of what has been my experience, painful or not, I have been present throughout all aspects of my experience. Present as awareness, as presence. Even when I believed and felt that I am a person, happy or unhappy, I was there…
Examine your suffering closely
The gardens of Versailles belong to the Republique of France. ~~At the core of your experience, there is silence and stillness which permeates your entire experience and yet, this silent stillness is overlooked. And whenever the silent stillness is felt, it is not clear that this silent presence is…
There is no mind. What we call mind is thought. God is the creator of all thoughts. The creator of the wind, the breath, the oceans and galaxies. Problems are due to the belief that I am a mortal form. A separate self. A mortal reality. This belief overlooks the eternal and universal reality of…
When you are identified as a person, as a mortal body mind, you are experiencing yourself as a separate self, as a dream character and you are not knowingly yourself.Like in your night dream, you may imagine yourself to be a 6 year old boy having all sorts of adventures with friends and making all…
Consciousness stands prior to mind
Consciousness stands ‘prior’ to mind, like the dreamer stands ‘prior’ to its dreams. To assume a human or non human reality is mind. There is no such thing as personal consciousness. Whatever appears in your dreams, no matter how real it may seem, is dream stuff. To assume that consciousness abides…
Everything you perceive refers to you
Everything you perceive, every thought that arises to you, every experience you have. all of it refers to you. This you, this I is aware presence that has no name, no age, no gender, no location. The transparency of being. Once we overlook that I refers to aware presence, we identify with mortality…
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…
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…
You are not what you imagine yourself to be
You are not what you imagine yourself to be. It is what you truly are that imagines itself to be what you think and feel you are. Therefore, you and your experience are its imagination. Your sense of personal being as well as the world you perceive are via its imagination. Via the contemplation of…
It is God that reveals itself to you
It is god that reveals itself to you. Lifting the veil of your personal identity, it reveals itself to you beyond your mind. In an instant you know beyond any doubt gods glory, eternity and infinity. Its majesty and beauty are revealed to you. Forgetting, you return to the old paradigm and once…
It’s already quite a progress to realize that you are living in a bubble, that something is off and you don’t know what it is, but you can feel it. It’s much better than complete ignorance because ignorance is not bliss, ignorance is unhappiness, a sense of dullness and incompleteness. Once you…

The unfolding pathThe spiritual journey is an inquiry into truth which starts with the bubble of personhood whereby we believe that I refers to a physical form. The perception is that of an internal self and an external world. The feeling state is that of isolation and separation. Then we realize…
Experiencing from your globality. As a separate self we perceive from within a bubble. We move from perception to perception within the bubble. This bubble is the feeling of being a person, a limited self. We experience this bubble as unhappiness, as the sense of lack and incompleteness. At some…
Attention returning to its source.
Attention returning to its source. Most of the time, via the senses, via perception, thinking, sensing, feeling, emoting, attention is focused on the content of experience. The experience is objective, material and personal made out of subjects and objects. In order for attention to turn itself…
We experience God’s love in relationship.
We experience God’s love in relationship. Then old personal habits come in the way. Old conditions arise infiltrating the relationship, personalizing love, objectifying it, turning it into a tool of satisfaction and blackmail. Gods light is diffracted via the prism of the personal self. Love…
It is possible to experience the mind from a place that does not move
It is possible to experience the mind from a place that does not move. No effort is needed. When you are trying, you are engaging the mind in the me-activity and this veils the peace of being and feeds the personal, which is a stream of thinking and feeling. It is very subtle. The person and the…
I does not refer to an object of perception.
I does not refer to an object of perception. I/awareness is not defined by thinking, feeling, sensing. Appearance refers to me while I remain undefined by appearance. I am beyond any reference as I am eternally self-referent. I am the transparent spaciousness of awareness. The transparency of…
