Worrying about tomorrow is something you do
Worrying about tomorrow is something you do. Thus you avoid knowing yourself. You assume a separate self as a hoax that you play, while you are the only player. Thus you temporarily forget yourself, assume a personality and experience the angst of separation and forgetfulness. Returning to…
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…
So many manifestations of the One!
So many manifestations of the One! All of which appear intimately As I The intimacy of Self! Complete intimacy. You never experience anything other than Self. What appears Appears to I, as I Arises out of I Refers to I Even when it appears to refer to otherness It refers to I Notice the intimacy of…
Being knowingly the Self ~~ Indeed, "fascination with objects" does not remove presence. Nothing does since there is nothing apart from it to remove it. . In essence and in appearance, all is presence. (All events are none other than presence). And yet, there is quite a difference between "being…

THE SENSE OF SELF. BEING-KNOWINGNESS
THE SENSE OF SELF. BEING-KNOWINGNESS There is little doubt that there is what appears. There is also little doubt that there is this sense of self. The sense of existence. What we call I. One could say that what appears is interrelated to self, to I. One could see it for oneself. This intimacy…
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 belief that I am a separate self is accompanied with the me-feeling of isolation and separation.
The belief that I am a separate self is accompanied with the me-feeling of isolation and separation. Believing that I am surrounded with angels can provide some temporary relief like a Band-Aid. But the core angst is not cured by the application of a Band-Aid. Deeper inquiry into the belief that I…
ABOUT THOUGHT Psychological thought refers to the me-thought. ** There is the subtle me-thought/feeling that is below the radar (We could refer to this as the me-feeling) ** There is the less subtle me-thought (We could refer to this as a negative emotion) that is the irritation of the me-feeling…

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…
Sooner or later, you realize that you must stop spinning this spin.
Like the pink flying elephant seeks to lead the herd of pink flying elephants to better pastures, in the dream, the dream character you imagine yourself to be, seeks to better itself and its dream. When we attribute reality to the dream character and its illusory dreams, we get entangled in the…

I AM is absolute, one without a second. Happiness is not possible as long as it depends on situations, circumstances or experiences. Recognizing our true nature returns us to the unadorned I AM. Universal Self. I, the wide open sky of awareness, confronts nothing as I am everything. I face nothing…
We are so preoccupied with our own fate
We are so preoccupied with our own fate and our own lot and rarely do we ask ourselves what we are doing that expresses our recognition of our inherent interconnection and wholeness with everyone and everything? What is our responsibility besides being self concerned? What is it that we are doing…
Since the veils of dualism have obscured the view, you need asanas. Since you are overlooking your Self as That which you are, you need to practice the stillness and study the scriptures. In time, you will start recollecting yourself. Initially this recollection will be sporadic and irregular but…
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…
The initial fragility of inner peace
THE INITIAL FRAGILITY OF INNER PEACE If there is a challenge in your life, this means you are ready for it. It is meant to take you beyond your previous beliefs. Although you are ready for it, you may completely misunderstand the situation and not be able to benefit. You May argue and blame and…
Since everyone is busy with their minds and all what appears, it is your business to bring in the contemplation and to awaken to the reality that is beyond the dream. Although empty, the concerns of the mind are very powerful and not easy to overcome. You contemplate the Self on behalf of everyone…
Expecting that the dream will satisfy you is like expecting Santa Claus to bring you the bicycle or doll you hope to get. Only by the contemplation of truth may you awaken to the fulfillment that you are, to the inherent bliss of the Self. All else is spin. The wheel of samsara. Namaste
ABOUT GOOD AND EVIL Good and evil, better and worse are relative concepts that refer to the mind. Once we accept good and evil, they become our personal (relative) preferences. Good and evil will limit us and divide us. Our true nature is beyond the dichotomy of good and bad. The Self is…
Given there is only you As universal borderless presence Fear is self generated An internal panorama That does not reflect any actuality. Within your very self You imagine danger Since you have separated yourself From the wholeness of Being Giving rise to external worlds And external others You…
You inhale I exhale That is how it is in truth. You perceive a tree in the yard I am resting in the same yard That is how it is in truth. You rest in bed I rest next to you That is how it is in truth. You love to laugh and smile It is the same laughter we share That is how it is in truth. Let's…
