You are the Self. Everything and everyone is the Self. When you are angry at someone, you are angry at yourself. When you are annoyed at someone, you are annoyed at yourself. When you are bored, you have separated yourself from yourself. When you are not happy, you have separated yourself from the…
Feelings of guilt, regret and doubt
Sometimes life circumstances trigger old feelings of guilt, regret, doubt, etc. Ancient me-thoughts and feelings are triggered. We feel unhappy. This is an important discernment. Noticing unhappiness and reading the sign posts that maintain the separate me impression allow you to navigate calmer…
This waking dream is an opportunity to contemplate and celebrate the Self.
This waking dream is an opportunity to contemplate and celebrate the Self. The me-impression, me in time and space veils the majesty and limitlessness of the Self. Through your contemplation the imagined edges and borders dissolve, the flow becomes peaceful, smooth and happy. You realize your…
You cannot know that you are timeless and eternal via the mind.
You cannot know that you are timeless and eternal via the mind. The mind is intermittent. It is made out of discrete events and cannot reveal that which is not discrete, that which is eternal, that which perceives it. That which knows all discrete events is not discrete. It is the I of I am, the I…
Identification clouds clarity. Although clarity is our natural state, our interest in improving and safeguarding the dream character which we mistake ourselves to be, overshadows the inherent peace and tranquility of our nature. Academic interest in the process does not remove the seeds of…
In fact, nothing separates reality, nothing divides wholeness. To be knowingly undivided is quite different from not knowing ones wholeness. We forget our wholeness whenever we identify with a form. A king is indeed a king, no matter what. But when the king believes he is a pauper he is in…
A serious student of the way lives the teaching 24/7 and not only during satsang on Sunday or Thursday afternoon. The teacher reminds you that the path is not of the mind, that you need to drop the mind, to drop the old patterns that maintain the illusion of a separate me. But it is up to you to…
A serious student of the way does not choose the mind over the teacher
A serious student of the way does not choose the mind over the teacher. By choosing the mind they remain in ignorance and in identification. They waste a golden opportunity that is given to them by God. They turn their attention away from God and choose the dream characters and world. How many more…
It is not enough to utter words of wisdom
It is not enough to utter words of wisdom and repeat the words of the sages parrot like. Your contemplation is most important and it is in the depth of your inner silence that the contemplation takes place and not by repeating words that you do not comprehend and live. No matter what may be…
Truth lovers are courageous . since they understand that the real and eternal is revealed with the ending, with the death of the false. The ones who have been there before you are the ones to be trusted and relied upon. They will guide you from the false you to the real you.
You are the borderless aware presence, inherent freedom, bliss, peace and happiness.
If you do love truth and the revelation of what is real, then you must commit yourself to letting go of the me story no matter how deeply you feel it. It is easier to contemplate that I am the borderless aware presence than to feel that I am that. So what? Feel what you feel without stirring,…
Do not be so concerned about your past thoughts and deeds. All is well and is meant to be as it is. What matters is for you to turn your attention to the reality that you are. And this reality is not a limited personal impression. Not a limited consciousness. No limited impression limits the…
Eternity does not belong to the me impression, does not belong to the body mind personal impression, does not belong to the identification. Reality does not belong to the dream. The dream comes and goes but that which knows all dreams does not come and go. It awaits your recognition. As long as you…
Belief is the death of intelligence
Yes, "belief is the death of intelligence" . and yet, most everyone believes in an internal personal self and in an external physical reality. They see their perception of a tree and they go: There is a tree out there! They perceive a bodily sensation and they go: There is a body out there! They…
In true understanding, there is no separate understander as all sense of separation dissolves in the understanding. It is a magical non-moment. A magical non-moment that reveals our true nature and dissolves the false . In this magical non-moment, the reality of consciousness is revealed to be…
Do not mistake yourself to be the body mind
In the waking state, do not mistake yourself to be the body mind sensations and perceptions. Recognize yourself to be beyond the mind images and bodily sensations. When you rely on the images and sensations to define you, you have defined yourself according to what is transient and impermanent and…
The mind is known. The power does not lie with what is known. Rather, it resides at a higher level. You are not the mind. You are not the dreams you dream. Your reality and the reality of all impressions resides beyond the dream impressions. The reality of consciousness is not dependent on mind…
In fact there is no robber that really appropriates consciousness. The imaginary separate me-impression cannot really hijack consciousness. How could the illusory hijack the real? You imagine yourself to be a person with personal concerns and ambition, but you fail to realize that you are the…
Awareness does not come and go
Only awareness is aware. It is awareness, the light of perception. that perceives. It is awareness, the light of sensation. that senses. It is awareness, the light of all impressions. that speaks and dances. It dances all dances! It is awareness, the light of Joy. that rejoices! How it loves!…
The invitation from the guru is to realize the Self, to see/be the undivided wholeness that you are. The guru is not a person and does not perceive persons. Truth/Reality is one seamless whole. You can call it love, freedom, joy, beauty. It is the experience of causeless peace and happiness that is…
Most of our angst is the result of believing that I (borderless and universal consciousness) am a phenomenal entity living in time and space. Moving from past to future. From birth to death. This identification with a body mind impression is the cause of our angst as we become infected with the…
The mind can be a playful field
It is the identification with the mind, with an opposite, with the body, with a form. that creates the sense of limitation and separation. The mind can be a playful field, a place of enjoyment and celebration of the majesty and creativity of consciousness. There is no need to discard anything.…
Truth is eternal. It is love for truth that is the highest teaching and it is love for truth that makes the teaching and the teacher possible. All else is empty words and fleeting images. Contemplate your question and keep your question alive via your interest and contemplation and it will lead you…
The contemplation and exploration of truth
The contemplation and exploration of truth is fueled by your true love. The contemplation and exploration of the world body mind is fueled by your interest, curiosity and fascination with the mind. Neither contemplation implies separation. Separation is forgetting that I, universal consciousness,…
The arguing mind resists the stillness and goes for the spin. The whirlwind of the spin is confusing and unhappy, excites and overloads the body mind with vibrational argumentation. Be still. Stillness is at the heart of contemplation . invites the body mind to rest in the shining light of…
