What we refer to as the body is an open borderless space of awareness that embraces everything. Within this space of being/presence, awareness is everything, without any separate doer or observer. The breath, thought, the swinging branches of the trees, the song of the birds in the distance…
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…
OF LITTLE PRAISE YOU ARE You can contort your body in many intricate ways but you remain ignorant of yourself. You can outdo the prouesse of a chimp and that of a gazelle but you remain ignorant of yourself. You have wasted the precious time gifted to you tending to the body and mind ignoring the…
Form and thought are absent in deep sleep
Form and thought are absent in deep sleep as well as when the body is under anesthesia. Anesthesia and sleep are states that relate to the body mind but not to awareness which neither sleeps nor is awake. Awareness is not a state. Awareness IS. Sat-Chit-Ananda. Between thought A and thought B you…
You know yourself without the aid of the mind
YOU KNOW YOURSELF DIRECTLY WITHOUT THE AID OF THE MIND You know yourself without the aid of the mind. You known yourself directly. This knowingness is a non phenomenal knowingness which is referred to as an apperception. In the absence of thought, in the absence of perception and sensation, I know…
ABSOLUTE STILLNESS In the relative realm everything is relative including your happiness. The relative reveals the absolute only when you are still. When you are relatively still, you are relatively happy. It’s when you are absolutely still that you are absolutely happy. Absolute stillness is not…
DESIRE We imagine a separate object that we imagine to be apart from our experience and simultaneously, we imagine ourself to be a separate subject that lacks the imagined object. Desire is a dualistic imagining that separates us, but not really. Separation is imagination. This internal mechanism…
Most of us suffer from the mental disorder of believing that we are the body mind and that we are born. I would even say that most of the 7 billion folks on this planet adhere to this belief. Given this disorder, it is not surprising that our actions reflect this belief that we are the images, the…
LISTENING I listen to the body without knowing. I notice a burning sensation in the belly. It could be the late breakfast. But it doesn’t matter what the mind says. It is a deepening listening, sensing, feeling, without knowing, openly, freely. I am interested. An ever deepening intimacy. Intimacy…
THE INITIAL VEIL The veil of our true nature is the superimposition of ‘I am the body mind’. This initial assumption gives rise to the I-me-mind and me-feeling that triggers the I-thought and enivrates it. The mind becomes like a drunkard who is rambling at no end unaware of reality. Upon inquiry…
Maintain your gaze onto the divine
Maintain your gaze onto the divine and you will be guided to her. Do not rest, do not celebrate too early as you will be cutting yourself short. Do not be content with intermediary stages that compromise the absolute. Remain on the path until you are completely unmoved by the world body mind.
The worldly path of samsara and the senses keep you in the illusion and you do not get off the roller coaster ride of mind impressions. As long as you do not actively engage in the contemplation of the Self, the Self will continue to elude you and you remain entangled in the phenomenal world body…
THE FIRST AFTERTHOUGHT In love, there is no me and you. No concerns. The me and you is an afterthought. Time is an afterthought. 'Me and you in time', is an add on. It is the result of thinking and separating yourself as a subject experiencing external objects. The concerns, the fears are a result…
As long as you are interested in the world body mind, you get the roller coaster ride.
Yes. As long as you are interested in the world body mind, you get the roller coaster ride. There is no way around it. Up and down you go. Then you get off the ride and get on another one, like in the amusement park. There is no way out as long as your interest is in what appears. You have tasted…
Consciousness knows itself without the mind. I know i am. So what? How is this helpful?
Comment: Consciousness knows itself without the mind. I know i am. So what? How is this helpful? ~~~ When you believe yourself to be the mind, when you define yourself by thoughts and sensations, by the mind, you are overlooking your Self-knowingness and you are relying on what you experience to…
Notice that within each thought there is the hidden belief that I am a personal body mind. This belief reduces you to the limited self and the limited me-feeling. That is the unhappiness that haunts you in your night and in your waking dreams. As long as you are anchored to this belief and feeling…
There is a return to the source
Once you realize the separate self to be a dream character, the world to be dream images and the body dream sensations, the mind becomes quiet. Everything and everyone points to the Self and merges in the Self. There is a return to the source, whereby the world, the mind, the body dissolve into the…
This waking dream is about waking up from the belief that I am the body mind.
This waking dream is about waking up from the belief that I am the body mind. If we do not wake up, we continue to believe and feel that we are a bundle of personal thoughts and feelings. Without awakening, the dream of personal body mind continues and we continue the unhappy pursuit of forms. The…
Be clear about what you love and live. For that is where you’re heading.
Be clear about what you love and live. For that is where you’re heading. When you love truth and awakening to true nature, the path is outlined by the Dharma and leads you beyond the bubble of self identification. When you love the infinite body mind impressions and impermanent worldly events, you…

In the waking state, you mistake yourself to be the body mind sensations and perceptions.
In the waking state, you mistake yourself to be the body mind sensations and perceptions. They arise and dissolve. Inquire into the screen and not into the images. Inquire into the reality of consciousness that is undeniable. Recognize yourself. You are That which is beyond mind images and bodily…
Magdi Badawy Non duality is truth. The one and only reality. The true Self. The true I. ~~ In ignorance we are under the impression of many separate realities divided in internal and external. We suffer from the impression that the body mind is real and we become attached to impermanent forms that…
What are feelings? Can you say something about how they arise and what is their significance? Feelings are phenomenal events. Meaning they are appearances that arise and dissolve in awareness, in the aware presence that knows them. The I am That I am. These phenomenal events, feelings, arise as…
Direct or indirect contemplation
You are contemplating truth directly or indirectly. Indirectly, your contemplation is worldly via thoughts and feelings and will disappoint you. Pursuing the contemplation via the senses maintains the separation and the sense of lack. Pursuit and avoidance are deeply rooted in the indirect…
The tendency to base our life onto thoughts and feelings prevents us from rejoicing
The tendency to base our life onto thoughts and feelings prevents us from rejoicing as the inner stillness, as the transparent Aware Beingness of Consciousness. We remain in the bubble of thoughts and feelings and are unable to perceive beyond them. The sense of separation persists. Perception is…
