The separate self~~~Notice the subtle movement within your being towards and away from any object, experience or feeling. Notice within yourself the tendency, no matter how faint towards an image or a feeling. The very subtle sense of lack and incompleteness that hides beneath and within thinking…
The unfolding pathThe spiritual journey is an inquiry into truth which starts with the bubble of personhood whereby we believe that I refers to a physical form. The perception is that of an internal self and an external world. The feeling state is that of isolation and separation. Then we realize…
Being with the other as a separate other, I overlook my true nature and I am not knowingly myself. Being with the other as my very self, I am knowingly myself and do not leave myself. The one and only Self. Knowing myself as universal being awareness, I recognize everyone and everything as myself.…
There is no way to happiness via relationships, situations and conditions.
There is no way to happiness via relationships, situations and conditions. You must go to the heart of your being whichever way it manifests. There you will find the peace of beingThere you will find communion. This communion shines onto the world as you embrace it completely. You will realize that…
Not to define ourselves. Not to struggle.
Not to define ourselves. Not to struggle. Is it possible to remain as one is? This pure space of awareness that is at rest? Seeking nothing. Being everything without ever separating itself. Dreaming all dreams without ever leaving itself. In a way, our argumentation is for naught. Of no use. The…
The activity of thinking, sensing and perceiving veils the wide open empty screen of being/awareness. Within thinking hides the belief in a separate thinker, within sensing the belief in a separate sensor and within perceiving the belief in a separate perceiver. Beyond thought, beyond mind…
The revelation that there is no one and that the seeker is not real brings the seeking mind to a new understanding. But. This new understanding does not reveal the full experiential embodiment of being/awareness. It is at the feeling level that the echoes of the separate self reside. To be…
If we travel to God, we are travelers.
Sooner or laterWe are no longer travelers. What happened in between the travelingand the ending of traveling? Did we finally find God? If we found God, then God is something that can be found,and what can be found can be lost. If we found Godthis would mean that before finding GodWe were without…
We leave ourself in favor of fleeting experiences, sensations and temporary relationships. Upon feeling the loss of ourself in the process of thinking and feeling, a pinch arises in our experience which gets tighter and tighter, calling us back to rest at the heart❤️of our being. This heart is ever…
I does not refer to an object of perception.
I does not refer to an object of perception. I/awareness is not defined by thinking, feeling, sensing. Appearance refers to me while I remain undefined by appearance. I am beyond any reference as I am eternally self-referent. I am the transparent spaciousness of awareness. The transparency of…
Speaking of appearances: Being knowingly the transparency of being/awareness is void of subject/object and yet it is not an empty emptiness. Although being/awareness is no thing and can be said to be empty, this emptiness/nothingness is simultaneously fullness/everythingness. Thinking, feeling,…
Being identified via thinking, feeling, perceiving, which are the activities of the separate self, creates the impression that I am inside a bubble: The unhappy me-bubble that seems to exist in time and space. 'I' seems to be dependent on time and space, on circumstances, on situations, on the…
Being aware of being aware can be understood as 'being/awareness', meaning there is no separate you that is being aware of being aware. It is awareness aware of itself. One could say it is awareness being-itself, in other words being knowingly awareness, without reliance on memory, without reliance…
THOUGHT AND IGNORANCE Does the arising of thought signify the arising of a separate self? Does it imply ignorance? ~~~Not necessarily. Thought requires a knowing of it but this knowing does not necessarily need to be separate from the thought that is known. Ignorance refers to the knowing being a…

Love is magic. It is like beauty, like truth and humor, a complete mind stopper. For those who contemplate truth, love is the destination as everything and everyone dies in love and is resurrected as love. It's timeless and cannot be spoken of except poetically. Death reveals love. Not the illusory…
You are hypnotized by the bubble of your own thoughts and you perceive through that peephole. How do you expect the realization of vastness when you continue to defend your stale positions? Drop your argumentative mind and sit in silence contemplating the Self. The mind is a maze that hijacks the…
Direct pointing is the source pointing directly to itself, bypassing body mind, bypassing thoughts and sensations. I Am is absolute. I Am does not refer to any downstream form, does not refer to a set of images or memories, does not refer to past or future. I refers to I. Direct reference, free…
I Am is faceless, formless. The reality of being/awareness. The face that appears to you is not what you are. It is an appearance like the appearance of the weather. The thoughts that appear to you do not know you. They are inert objects of perception. Taking your lead from the thoughts that appear…
You will not find happiness in material comfort
You can pursue material comforts, material gains, fame and health, but you will not find the happiness your heart desires. There is no shortcut around awakening to your true nature, dropping the illusion of separation and being free from the impression of mortality. What you truly are awaits your…

Living according to your conditioning
As long as you continue to live according to your conditioning, you will experience the numerous unhappy conditions of the carnal mind. You will continue to experience the human roller coaster, the violence, the neglect, the abuse, the exploitation as long as you do not look deeply into your…
What if we hold no conditions?
What if we hold no conditions? ~~What is it that is impacted by the events which appear in your dream? To whom, to what does the dream refer? When there are personal preferences, when you hold tightly to personal conditions, then depending on the outcome, you are satisfied or disappointed. In such…
When we live in the bubble, we perceive an internal self and an external world. Thought is contaminated with self concern and preoccupation about time, future and past concerns. Looking deeply into ‘What am I truly? ’ sinking deeply into being, resting as not-knowing reveals the illusory nature of…
We remain watchful not to cultivate a new persona, a new spiritual personal self and we continue to contemplate truth, being aware of the tendencies that arise here and there, we notice the tendency to judge, and the tendency to judge the judging. In time, the me sense arises less and less…
