I do agree that clarity is helpful for a more harmonious living. When we confuse the content of our experience (which is constantly changing) with the changeless reality of experience, we are missing the core of the teaching. The non dual teaching does speak of the principle of non-doing (non…
The peace of being is independent of whatever it is you are experiencing. Knowing yourself to be borderless aware presence invites you into the heart of stillness and beyond the mind impressions of time and space. Keep returning to the eternal now, to the timelessness of presence and the impression…
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…
When you are hunting for something or someone, thinking and feeling are engaged in the hunt and the open space of awareness is temporarily narrowed as hunter and prey. This initial duality maintains itself as long as you remain in your personal interest. You may succeed or fail in your hunt but…
It’s that same consciousness that takes on this form, that takes on all forms. We all know ourself as I. Then we add a story which is mind. But at the core of all stories, the nature of all minds is that same I. I aware presence. Self knowing, all knowing. The peace of being. The transparency of…
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…
Being with the other as a separate other, I overlook my true nature and I am not knowingly myself. Being with the other as my very self, I am knowingly myself and do not leave myself. The one and only Self. Knowing myself as universal being awareness, I recognize everyone and everything as myself.…
Irrespective of the age of the body, irrespective of the state of the world, body mind. I have always been the same I. Invisible, undeniable IAware presence Although the I has never been any other, only now I is I knowing itself as the limitless Self. I knowing itself reveals the universality of I.…
Being aware of being aware can be understood as 'being/awareness', meaning there is no separate you that is being aware of being aware. It is awareness aware of itself. One could say it is awareness being-itself, in other words being knowingly awareness, without reliance on memory, without reliance…
THOUGHT AND IGNORANCE Does the arising of thought signify the arising of a separate self? Does it imply ignorance? ~~~Not necessarily. Thought requires a knowing of it but this knowing does not necessarily need to be separate from the thought that is known. Ignorance refers to the knowing being a…
Everything you know, you know within yourself, awareness.
Everything you know, you know within yourself, awareness. All that which is known, is known as your very self, awareness. There is no knowing outside of awareness. Awareness is knowingness. Awareness is intimacy of knowing in which the known, the knowing and the knower are one. In fact, there is no…

Meditation is about the meditator
Meditation is not for the meditator. It is about the meditator. What is it that meditates? Meditation is through you and not by you. It comes to you like a visitor sent by the queen. The I-thought appears. To what does it appear? To That which does not appear. Simultaneously, the me-feeling appears…
Direct pointing is the source pointing directly to itself, bypassing body mind, bypassing thoughts and sensations. I Am is absolute. I Am does not refer to any downstream form, does not refer to a set of images or memories, does not refer to past or future. I refers to I. Direct reference, free…
When we live in the bubble, we perceive an internal self and an external world. Thought is contaminated with self concern and preoccupation about time, future and past concerns. Looking deeply into ‘What am I truly? ’ sinking deeply into being, resting as not-knowing reveals the illusory nature of…
Mistaking awareness to be mind is ignorance.
We associate awareness with I as awareness and not with me as a body mind appearance. Mistaking awareness to be mind is ignorance. Although the substance of mind is awareness, awareness is its own substance and is not known via the mind. You know the tree. The tree does not know itself nor does it…

Thought is a manifestation of the stillness of awareness out of which it arises and by which it is permeated. Awareness is infinite potential, like a tree and its leaves. Knowing the true nature of thought reveals the silent stillness of awareness, independent of thought. Self knowledge is void of…
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…
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…
SIMPLE PRESENCE Although it seems that experience is complex Thoughts, memories, concerns, feelings, worries, plans There is also this moment of presence Like a virgin screen Peaceful, tranquil We notice the hum of the refrigerator The shining light of the sun onto the deck The squirrel hopping on…
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…
FEAR What is it? What am I? What is happening? I want to know. What for? To know what? What is there to know? What is it to know? Wanting a story Wanting a narrative That I can flip and flip As it flips me I want thought and more thought So I can remain on the roller coaster Of the winds of thought…
HIDING I hide. What am I hiding and what am I hiding from? What is it that is hiding? . In plain sight, I am. Am I not? Hiding, in plain sight? Hiding that I am hiding? Maybe I am not hiding. Maybe I am playing the hiding game. Playing it so well that I forgot I am playing. Hum. Maybe I am. And…
