Post enlightenment. Although we may understand that I refers to consciousness and not the body form, although we may understand that I am not the feelings nor the thoughts that are appearing, we may still experience resistance and seeking. We may still experience aversion and a sense of lack…
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…
After ecstasy, the laundry. Sat/Chit/Ananda is not possible without the laundry. The work of cleaning house is unavoidable. Whether you do this work before the understanding or after the understanding or both before and after the understanding, aligning the mind and body with truth is essential and…
When we are contemplating God’s reality
When we are contemplating God’s reality, the reality of universal consciousness, we are doing so on behalf of everyone and everything. It is god's grace which invites and facilitates this contemplation. Everyone benefits from this contemplation like everyone benefits from the blooming of the flower…
There is the realm of the body mind, the activities of thinking, feeling, sensing, perceiving. When we are relying on the materialistic model, we perceive a world made out of matter and objects. We perceive birth, death and transformation. We perceive that we are made out of matter, that we are a…
An imaginary character can only make imaginary choices
An imaginary character can only make imaginary choices. Neither of which is the reality of awareness/consciousness. When you contemplate: I Am, you realize the vastness of formless awareness as the only reality. If there is choice, by that we mean real-choice, it must be the undertaking of that…
From the minds perspective, today follows yesterday
From the minds perspective, today follows yesterday and the present is a brief interlude in between which will hopefully lead to a better future. From the perspective of the reality of consciousness, only eternity is, beyond all mind impressions. Remaining formless, consciousness dreams all forms…
We are one, Interconnected via awareness/consciousness.
We are one, Interconnected via awareness/consciousness. We arise out of the same source to realize the wholeness of being/awareness that we are, that everything is. We play together. It is so lovely Except when we go back into our bubble. The me-you bubble. So we contemplate this process. We…
The Dharma of words is not sufficient.
The Dharma of words is not sufficient. There is more to it. The collapse of the mind in its source reveals the complete absence of the diffracted separate self. Only awareness is. At first, consciousness is interested in itself via its creation. It creates the personal mind to explore a world and…
An imaginary character can only make imaginary choices.
Neither of which is the reality of awareness/consciousness. When you contemplate: I Am, you realize the vastness of formless awareness as the only reality. If there is choice, by that we mean real-choice, it must be the undertaking of that which is real and not that which I imagine I am. Santa…
Remaining formless, consciousness dreams all forms out of itself
From the minds perspective, today follows yesterday and the present is a brief interlude in between which will hopefully lead to a better future. From the perspective of the reality of consciousness, only eternity is, beyond all mind impressions. and gives rise to infinite minds and their…

Isn't it mind blowing that consciousness chooses to conceive, create and experience worlds of diversity, minds of creativity and bodies of sensations? And to do so, it chooses to become numerous human and other forms and experience infinite experiences. It does so without ever truly leaving itself.…
In the caves of the mind, you are happy when you discover a new cave. But you do not emerge in the light outside the cave Without the contemplation of the reality of consciousness, without the deep inquiry into ‘What am I truly? ’, you will continue to entertain thoughts and feelings that are…
When you take the human experience seriously you suffer.
When you take the human experience seriously you suffer. Think of it as a play and turn your attention to the realization of what is real. What is real does not come and go and does not appear or disappear. It is mind events and phenomenal events that come and go. What you truly are is not a coming…
Could it be? One consciousness having a shared dream via infinite body minds. Out of its infinite potential, the choreographer choreographs and creates all puppets as well as their actions. The I within us is the choreographers presence. Via the I, the puppeteer recognizes its creation and itself…

Mechanical thought and the light of awareness
There is mechanical thoughtThe world body mind system And there is the light of being/awarenessShining onto everything and everyone. Simultaneously creating and Illuminating everything and everyone out of itselfLike the ocean creates waves out of itself Providing the play. Of weatherAnd wind…
About the teaching: "Returning to consciousness" and "There is nothing to return to" Yes, there is nothing to return to and no one to return to anything. Having said that, this is true once it is true. Repeating "there is nothing to return to" means nothing if it is not your direct established…

Once you imagine consciousness to be mortal
When you imagine consciousness to be mortal, you have stepped away from the divine wisdom of the Self. When you imagine yourself to be born, to be a man, woman or any gender, you have adorned the unhappy cloak of mortality. The contemplation: ‘What am I truly? ’ ‘What is the reality of my…
Some folks say that the only thing that does not change is change itself. They foolishly speak that the only thing that is permanent is impermanence. If you believe this statement, you are believing a falsehood. In fact, reality is changeless. In your experience, the reality of…
When you imagine yourself to be born, to be a man, woman or any gender, you have adorned the unhappy cloak of mortality. The contemplation: ‘What am I truly? ’ ‘What is the reality of my experience? ’ bypasses thought and reveals the source. Without such contemplation, without complete surrender,…
