ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE. THAT WHICH CANNOT BE DENIED Absolute knowledge is the collapse of all parts. What remains is absolute, without parts, non segmented. Whatever thought segments, I am not. Everything that you know, you know via your mind. Thoughts, images, memories, sensations, perceptions are…
Doing and non-doing refer to the dream character that is imagined to be the Self.
Doing and non-doing refer to the dream character that is imagined to be the Self. The Self rests as it is beyond mind, beyond description, beyond coming and going, beyond gain and loss. You recognize yourself as That. In this recognition you rest as the Self, one beyond a second and you contemplate…
The Self is beyond all realms whether they are material, mental, rational or emotional. While the Self is the source of all impressions, it is not downstream of its impressions. It remains its own source, its own reality standing on its own as the one and only reality. The reality of…
What is this separate self that haunts you?
What is this separate self that haunts you, this person that you believe you are? What is this me and you that separates that which is inseparable? In the absence of the I-thought and the You-thought, in the absence of the old story that divides us, in the absence of images that we identify with,…
DEAR I DEAR EVERYONE DEAR ONE. We are this one ocean. The ocean of love and bliss. The ocean of love and kindness. The ocean of sweetness and gentleness. The creativity, the amazing wonder of creating/creation. Being Awareness May we awaken to grace. To honor it, to care for it, to die into it. all…
All obstacles are seeming obstacles. They are mind impressions that point to the illusion of duality. They point to the erroneous belief that there is a separate subject. Obstacles lead us to struggle with them, a dream struggle that does not reveal the innate happiness of the Self. Sooner or later…
Do not forget what you truly yearn for.
Do not forget what you truly yearn for. You yearn for God. You yearn for truth eternal. You yearn for the bliss of the Self which is beyond any personal mind. The journey is in this lifetime. The path is the Dharma, the contemplation of the Self, the contemplation of truth. What is it that does not…
THOUGHT AND AWARENESS The thought that says ‘my mind and your mind’ does not establish any real separation. ‘Here and there’, ‘mine and yours’ appear as thought but does not alter the open space of awareness which remains whole, undivided and untouched by thought. Awareness is unalterable and…
Devote yourself to awakening from the dream
Devote yourself to awakening from the dream. Dedicate yourself to the freedom from the illusion of the separate self. Being distracted by thoughts and feelings, you stray off the path and get entangled in the myriad empty forms. Images and stories do not free you, do not deliver you from bondage.…
What is the purpose of visual experience?
What is the purpose of visual experience? ~~~ Visual experience refers to the reality that perceives it. Like your night dreams refer to the reality of the dreamer. Upon waking up you realize that the pink flying elephant in your dream was not real and only you (the dreamer) is real. Appearances…
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…
Can the perceiver be perceived? Can the seer be seen?
Can the perceiver be perceived? Can the seer be seen? ~~~ The perceiver is the Self. Meaning it is You (I) that perceives, whatever that You (I) is. You (I) perceive perceptions, thoughts, sensations. Those are phenomenal events that appear to You (I). But that (I) which perceives is not phenomenal…
Do not concern yourself about anything else but to awaken
Do not concern yourself about anything else but to awaken. Of what importance are sensations and vain pursuits of pleasure in the face of the immeasurable Dharma? This passing dream is a divine offering not to be wasted downstream. Contemplate the source until you merge completely as That. Such is…
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…
When you are arguing, you have assumed yourself and the other. Assuming yourself is empty and void of reality. Whatever you assume is fiction. Thus your unhappy argumentation is empty and unreal. Why get so worked out? Instead, can you see through the charade? Can you remain still and in this…
Question: Would you say that the role that art plays is to point to beauty that perhaps, at least momentarily, stuns the mind into abeyance; a taste of the eternal? Is the spiritual journey one of discovery and discernment of how we sustain ignorance? I love that the root of ignorance is to ignore!…
The spinning of the mind only leads to more spin
The spinning of the mind only leads to more spin and does not reveal the peace and immutable light of Being/Awareness. Your interest in the myriad forms and in all sorts of arisings keeps you bound to that which arises and dissolves, leaving you dissatisfied and unfulfilled. A clarity of mind and a…
Why do we suffer? ~~ Reply: The impression of suffering is meant for your awakening to truth and the ending of separation. Mistaking the rope for the snake triggers fears that are founded on the falsehood of the mind. Separation is a false impression that triggers resistance as well as seeking…
Is there beauty outside the realm of opposites ? ~~ The realm of opposites is the realm of personal preferences and the realm of dualist thought. It is impermanent and shifting. Beauty is not dependent on any alignment or conditions. It is recognized as the absence of duality. There is no beauty…
There are no teachers and no students.
There are no teachers and no students. The Self is absolute and non dual. Talking about teachers personal traits is an empty dual dream conversation that refers to the weather. The weather, like everything else is void of personal traits. It is universal, impersonal, cosmic. When you personify the…
What is it that is enlightened? What is it that gets enlightened?
What is it that is enlightened or gets enlightened? ~~ Given duality is illusion, given reality is non-dual, one could say everything is enlightened and one could say nothing is enlightened as long as there is clarity that there are no separate forms, no separate objects, no separate selves. One…
For the eyes that can see, Everything points to the Self
Suffering is the illusion of separation. A dream character cannot save another dream character. An illusion cannot help an illusion. Helping someone is a dream inside a dream. Only God's help is real, infinite and Eternal Appearing as everything and everyone Rarely recognized. Appearing in the form…
Shining brightly Hidden in full view The formless Self Appearing without appearing Dreaming all dreams Unmoved Unstirred.
In a timeless flash, we may realize the emptiness of our belief structures
We may have a glimpse of our true nature. Through this glimpse, in a timeless flash, we may realize the emptiness of our belief structures, the illusion of the personal self and the glorious wholeness of consciousness. In this glimpse, which is not in time, the mind is completely absent as it…
Do you believe in the existence of a soul?
DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF A SOUL? Whatever one believes does not matter since it does not reveal what is real. What matters is to know what is real and not to hold on to beliefs which vary from tribe to tribe. If 'soul' is real, then 'soul' would be real right now, in this very instant…
