Surrender goes hand in hand with the recognition that there is one reality. I/consciousness. In this understanding it may become clear that resistance and seeking is an overlooking of truth, an overlooking of the reality of infinite and eternal consciousness. That is why it is said: There is no one…
This entire realm is dream like
This entire realm is dream like. It’s gone in a flash. Why trouble yourself pursuing dream objects? Contemplate the Self, the reality of consciousness and profit from this opportunity to awaken to truth. Truth is what IS, that which you ARE and not what appears or what you seem to be. That which is…
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…
Can we drop the label ‘separation’?
Can we drop the label 'separation'? How can there be a 'separate I' when I am I? How can I be separate from I? Can you separate the rose from the rose or your nose from your nose? If there is separation, then it can only be an impression and not truth. The impression of separation. Thus, we are not…
Wanting to share and looking for validation and support seem natural. Insights into our true nature have a profound effect. Sometimes the effect of a glimpse are noticeable sooner and at times later. It is like an irreversible crack in the shell of separation. The mind is altered and recognizes a…
While still (on and off) under the influence of the sense of separation, as best you can, and whichever way you can, act in accordance with the principles of universal love and honor while continuing to engage in the study, contemplation and meditation of truth. It is your contemplation, inquiry…
Truth is one. Self standing, self knowing, self being. The mirage is that there is something other than truth. Given only truth is. we are led beyond isness and not-isness which refer to duality. Thus truth neither is nor is-not This realization is beyond mind and beyond language. Without this…
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…
I am with you. I am within you. I am you. We are never apart. One I. One truth. One being. One reality. I speak to you as if to another. But I know you as my very self. I guide you as if guiding another. But I know you as my very self. I listen to your intimate sharing as if listening to another.…

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…
After ecstasy, the laundry. Sat/Chit/Ananda is not possible without the laundry. The work of cleaning house is unavoidable. Whether you do this work before the understanding or after the understanding or both before and after the understanding, aligning the mind and body with truth is essential and…
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…
We are very fortunate to have the content of mind to contemplate and work with.
We are very fortunate to have the content of mind to contemplate and work with. By arranging the furniture of the mind according to the divine principles of love, truth, beauty and the recognition of everything and everyone as yourself, you tenderize the mind to re-collect it’s pristine source,…
Truth, reality cannot be revealed by that which is not real. Only the real knows the real. Only the real reveals the real. You can only know the real by being the real and you can be the real by realizing you already are That which you seek. Reality is second to none and thus nothing exists outside…
We are one, Interconnected via awareness/consciousness.
We are one, Interconnected via awareness/consciousness. We arise out of the same source to realize the wholeness of being/awareness that we are, that everything is. We play together. It is so lovely Except when we go back into our bubble. The me-you bubble. So we contemplate this process. We…
Love is magic. It is like beauty, like truth and humor, a complete mind stopper. For those who contemplate truth, love is the destination as everything and everyone dies in love and is resurrected as love. It's timeless and cannot be spoken of except poetically. Death reveals love. Not the illusory…

From the perspective of the separate self, there is me and the other, there is personal responsibility, guilt and blame. From the perspective of truth, the perspective of god (one reality), there is no other and no good or bad. This realm which we refer to as humanity, is about awakening to truth,…
We get so wrapped up in our feelings
We get so wrapped up in our feelings and concerns about other people's feelings. We romanticize them and give them power. Sometimes they scare us. It is such an unhappy spin. It is possible to look into feelings and see how we nourish them, how we maintain them, reinforcing the me-story. You…
We remain watchful not to cultivate a new persona, a new spiritual personal self and we continue to contemplate truth, being aware of the tendencies that arise here and there, we notice the tendency to judge, and the tendency to judge the judging. In time, the me sense arises less and less…
What is it to be awake? What is it that is awake? ~~ When you imagine yourself to be a character, you are dreaming yourself. You dream the character, you dream its activities, you dream its awakening. Everything about the character is dream. What is awake is awareness. Truth is Isness/Awareness,…
This journey is brief, like a dream
This journey is so brief. Like a dream. When we ask ourselves what it is truly about, we find ourselves embarked on a journey of contemplation and meditative inquiry. That’s so beautiful. In spite of the many moments of confusion and darkness, once the interest in truth awakens, we are on our way…
Be watchful that you are not merely living according to your comfort zone.
Be watchful that you are not merely living according to your comfort zone. Oftentime challenging situations may arise in your life that will invite you to surrender and contemplate truth. Take advantage of such godsent opportunities and do not retreat into your personal mind and emotions. Allow the…
This is a wonder full journey we are on.
This is a wonder full journey we are on. Together. We are contemplating this journey. Each one of us is looking in a certain specific direction and sharing their journey. It is transparent. I can see many folks preoccupied. In a sort of a bubble. I don’t follow their journey since it does not seem…
