Consciousness does not depend on its creation
Like the wide open sky does not depend on its clouds, consciousnesses does not depend on its creations. It remains as it is, borderless impersonal presence. That is what I is. The fact that what appears disappears, does not imply that their reality appears and disappears. What is the reality of…
The reality of consciousness is not a belief.
The reality of consciousness is not a belief. Fear of death, as well as all fears are due to the belief that consciousness depends on form and thus is mortal and personal. Once the thorn of identification and ignorance is removed, fears are left with no legs to stand on.

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…
Before thought becomes an object which relates to a separate subject, thought is intimate and impersonal. Thought is cosmic, like the weather. The personal identification is an add-on that creates the unhappy illusion of a separate subject. From a conversation with a friend: What is thought? Is it…
The root cause of unhappiness is the belief that ‘I’ refers to a mortal body mind. As soon as you are identified as a person, you become an object among infinite objects and subject to myriad conditions that affect you. How happy is that? How desirable is that? As Bob Newhart so well said: Drop it!…
Look at nobody and no one as your guide. Above all, realize you are alone, completely alone as all-one. Your all-oneness is complete and lacks no-thing. You are everything and nothing is possible without you, as everything and everyone is you. Don't worry about the labels of the mind. They are…
About ignorance, thought and action.
About ignorance, thought and action. ~~~ First, thought is a subtle object. And like all objects, it is known but it is not knowing. Second, ignorance refers to mistaking oneself to be an object of perception. Mistaking oneself to be a mortal body mind. Lastly, there is ignorant thought and…
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. (As you say, that event is none other than presence). And yet, there is quite a difference between "being presence knowingly"…
Pure presence, formless, boundaryless…
Pure presence, formless, boundaryless. Appears as all dreams As all minds, as the world, as the breath, as a smile. Never leaving the causeless peace that it is. In your recognition It shines unimpeded Enlightening the myriad realms. The background of everything is pure presence. The foreground of…
Squirrels hopping from branch to branch chasing each other.
Squirrels hopping from branch to branch chasing each other. The Kwak Kwak Kwak sound of the crows in the distance. Birds at the birdfeeder and the gentle swing of the bare branches in the winterours space. What a wonder! Not apart from breath From the taste of tea Fingers on the keyboard The soft…
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…
We are one as everything. Aren’t we?
We are one as everything. Aren’t we? We share the same feelings and so much more. We recognize each other. My sorrows. Your sorrows. Same same. We are more similar than we think. Like two drops of water. We play the game of being separate. But it is not so. The truth is so much deeper than the…
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…
I does not differ across time and space
I does not differ across time and space. I refers to the spaciousness of being which does not take on the qualities of thought and does not change as our experience changes. When we say I we are always referring to that spaciousness. It is as I that we are one. The I is indivisible, non dual. Isn’t…

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…
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…
