Whatever you do that has a personal self within it will lead you deeper into the maze.
Whatever you do that has a personal self within it will lead you deeper into the maze. It will promise you all sorts of things, it will deliver more and more promises and will never 'deliver' you from your personal self. That is what haunts you but thoughts tell you lies and lead you astray as they…
Dive within Only this deepening is your heart's desire Cease dwelling on the surface forms They do not fulfill you They do not reveal the absolute.

What we truly are does not sleep
What we truly are does not sleep . as it is not worldly. When the body is tired . out of love, we invite it to rest. The dream, in all its forms, is a divine expression, an offering from the absolute . meant to be celebrated and honored and not burdened with false identification.
“How do we investigate the nature of mind and the root of samsaric delusion? The very root of delusion is the thought of ‘I’, the habit of clinging to the notion of ‘self’. This notion is simply due to a failure to investigate. There is no such thing as a truly existing, autonomous self. We…
The search for truth, the inquiry into the truth and reality of consciousness is not about improving anything. It is not about improving the imaginary life of the imaginary character. It is about awakening from the dream illusion of separation. Awakening from the unhappy dream of an interior self…
How do I reach my full potential?
Friend: How do I reach my full potential? I find myself addicted to media and technology and unable to get beyond to reach my full potential. Reply: Personal potential is illusion as there is no personal self. When you look for the person, you only find images, thoughts and sensations, and no…
REMAIN AS YOU ARE Within thought, there is an imagined me, a personal self in an imaginary future. But not really. There is no time. Time is thought, mind impressions.

If you are unhappy and content with your unhappiness, then the teachings, direct or indirect are irrelevant to you. But if you are unhappy and seeking to understand the process underlying your unhappiness, then the teachings are very helpful and provide you with the understanding that may release…
In the form it is the formless that you love
In the form it is the formless that you love. The beauty, the sweetness, the openness. Out of its infinite freedom, the formless appears as all form. Such awe! Such majesty! Look at your night dreams. Aren't they absolutely miraculous? In the form, you celebrate the formless. You celebrate the…
The Self is unmoved,unmovable and unmoving
The Self is unmoved, unmovable and unmoving. All impressions of movement are the dream of Maya and serve to remind you of the Self eternal. That is how the world body mind fulfills its function . serving as a gateway to the Gateless. Revealing your seamless joyfully-free nature. Wherever you look,…
Can the Self get out of the Self?
THE SELF CANNOT GET OUT OF THE SELF? Magdi I just heard a talk where the teacher is saying: 'the self cannot get out of self and that is not bad news. ' He was referring to the personal self. He claims that is all we need to understand. What is your opinion and take on this? ~~ Such a teaching (if…
Before being a man, a woman, I AM
Before being a man or a woman, I AM. Before being a father or mother, I AM. Before being any thing, I AM. I AM is undefined and non descript. Yet, nothing can be without I AM. Like gold takes the form of a necklace, ring or bracelet, the I AM, while remaining infinite, eternal and formless aware…
THE WAY OF SILENCE. The way of silence is a deep listening, a sort of absence that blooms out of your deep contemplation of truth. This silence, is spaciousness, the spaciousness of awareness, of stillness, of being-love as one. In this absence, there is no person, no separate field of awareness,…
A CONTEMPLATION AND AN INVITATION Whatever arises does not disturb me, does not define me and does not refer to what I AM truly. How can any appearance, any thought, any feeling know That That I AM? Only I know. Only I am the knowingness. That I AM KNOWINGNESS is not something that can be…
LISTENING WITH YOUR ENTIRETY Reality, truth cannot be expressed in words. It can only be known experientially, directly, as your living experience. It is from this knowingness, that is not in time and space, that the inexpressible can be pointed to and expressed in the silence between the words.…
In your contemplation, it becomes important to notice the me feeling, the unhappiness that arises and is expressed in the body, the internal bodily contractions that refer to a separate me. Releasing them into the transparency of being, into the spacious borderlessness of awareness is a relaxation…
WHAT AM I TRULY? In/as consciousness, there is no one resisting/seeking and there is no one going or coming. From the perspective of ignorance, the mind is infected with the belief in separation. The impression is that consciousness depends on the body mind and thus the body mind is lord. From that…

Beware of the imagined future It is thought Concern and hope Imagined me in time and space Thought/image But not really truth. Thought reverberating throughout the innocence of being That is complete freedom From the impression of past and future. Why diminish this wonder? This formless wonder of…
Our true relationship, our true connection is not the realm of the perceived. The dream realm comes and goes. As you look for it you don’t find it, it’s gone. It is the infinite invisible that we refer to as awareness/consciousness, beingness that is our true realm. When you experience the world…
