Consciousness stands prior to mind
Consciousness stands ‘prior’ to mind, like the dreamer stands ‘prior’ to its dreams. To assume a human or non human reality is mind. There is no such thing as personal consciousness. Whatever appears in your dreams, no matter how real it may seem, is dream stuff. To assume that consciousness abides…
Is a stone conscious? Is everything conscious?
About: is a stone conscious? Is everything conscious? Is a bird or a cat conscious? ~~~ Consciousness refers to the knowingness that I am and the knowingness that I am aware.

Happiness, (and there is only one happiness) is absolute and knows no opposite. As long as we remain with the sense of separation, no matter how well hidden it is under the rug, happiness evades us and we toggle between brief moments of peace in the midst of a vast realm of confusion and…
In god's eyes, everything is holy. Everywhere you are is holiness. Contemplate the wholeness of being without any differentiation.

You are the oppressor today and the oppressed tomorrow
You are the oppressor today, but for many subsequent lifetimes, you will be the oppressed. That is how the wheel of samsara spins. If we do not take this life as an opportunity to rise above the ego, if we do not contemplate the wholeness of being and live it, we will experience numerous lifetimes…
While still (on and off) under the influence of the sense of separation, as best you can, and whichever way you can, act in accordance with the principles of universal love and honor while continuing to engage in the study, contemplation and meditation of truth. It is your contemplation, inquiry…
Everything you perceive refers to you
Everything you perceive, every thought that arises to you, every experience you have. all of it refers to you. This you, this I is aware presence that has no name, no age, no gender, no location. The transparency of being. Once we overlook that I refers to aware presence, we identify with mortality…
There are a lot of things you know. But do you know your true self? You are not the bubble of your mind and feelings. You are not defined by anything you dream or imagine. You are not defined by your projections. Suffering is your lighthouse. It advises you that you have given reality to the…
The effect of any cause is fleeting.
When we are looking for fulfillment in the world body mind, we are often disappointed as we are trying to find peace and happiness in the impermanent. We may find a certain pleasure, a fleeting sensation of happiness, and since it is dependent on an object, we feel the tension of needing to…
Depending on the conditioned mind
When you depend on your conditioned mind, you experience the false. You experience time and space as well as birth and death, both of which are false. You have to go to the source in order to free yourself from ignorance, misery and confusion. You have to go to that which is real. The light of…
The innate peace of being/awareness
Everything that appears to you refers to the innate peace of being/awareness. The mind that looks outwardly overlooks the Self, overlooks the transparency of being/awareness which is the knowing spaciousness of being. When you contemplate the true I that I refers to, you will come to realize…

Freedom from personal concern is not possible as long as you consider yourself a person living in time and space. When we make real that which is illusory, when we give reality to that Which is impermanent, we overlook the reality of being/awareness, we overlook the totality of being, and we suffer…
Truth is one. Self standing, self knowing, self being. The mirage is that there is something other than truth. Given only truth is. we are led beyond isness and not-isness which refer to duality. Thus truth neither is nor is-not This realization is beyond mind and beyond language. Without this…
Upon slapping a mortal form onto the formless I/awareness
Upon slapping a mortal form onto the formless I/awareness, you reduce yourself to an imagined form and you suffer the consequences of cause and effect. Once you believe yourself to be an object, an imagined body mind, you become subject to this condition and you live the impact of dependence and…
It is not wise to hold on to that which passes.
It is not wise to hold on to that which passes. It’s an unhappy setup you impose onto yourself. Live gracefully, lightly, freshly and contemplate the eternal. You are the light of being shining through everything and everyone. What appears disappears. Live embracing this understanding without…
Yes, all manifestation is impermanent. But I/consciousness is not. ~~~ As long as we remain at the body mind level, we overlook awareness/consciousness which is transparent and the reality of our experience. It is not sufficient to live in presence. We also need to contemplate the reality of our…
Desire for an object refers to a separate self which is desiring a separate object. Such desire maintains the sense of separation and the sense of lack. Desire for truth, desire for freedom, for love and beauty is different in that such a desire is not for an object. It is desire for the end of…
As soon as we adopt the perspective of being a separate self, a subject, there is a tendency to objectify our experience. That is how the process of thinking operates once it is infected with the belief in separation. Therefore we tend to objectify reality, consciousness, god, truth. Unknowingly,…
It does not matter what arises on the screen. What matters is how and as what you meet what appears.
It does not matter what arises on the screen. What matters is how and as what you meet what appears. When a personal self, when a separate entity meets what arises on the screen of awareness, you experience a contracted mind with concern and feelings of insufficiency and incompleteness. As…
What the mind calls the physical world, God calls my dream. From the point of view of the imagined character that I believe and feel I am, there is an objective world and body as well as a subtle objective mind. From the point of view of consciousness, there is just aware presence taking on the…
You are not what you imagine yourself to be
You are not what you imagine yourself to be. It is what you truly are that imagines itself to be what you think and feel you are. Therefore, you and your experience are its imagination. Your sense of personal being as well as the world you perceive are via its imagination. Via the contemplation of…
It is God that reveals itself to you
It is god that reveals itself to you. Lifting the veil of your personal identity, it reveals itself to you beyond your mind. In an instant you know beyond any doubt gods glory, eternity and infinity. Its majesty and beauty are revealed to you. Forgetting, you return to the old paradigm and once…
I am with you. I am within you. I am you. We are never apart. One I. One truth. One being. One reality. I speak to you as if to another. But I know you as my very self. I guide you as if guiding another. But I know you as my very self. I listen to your intimate sharing as if listening to another.…
