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…
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…
From the mind perspectiveThere is good and badAnd a personal selfAs well as others. From the perspective of presence/awarenessIt’s a unific field of peace and stillness. Contemplation of the basic assumptionsReveals that the bases are loadedWith the belief that I am mortalThat there is something at…
What is happening? There is what appears and what does not appear. Appearances relate to the senses, to the mind. The senses and the mind relate to consciousness, the reality of all appearances. It may seem from the mind's point of view that the senses are primary while in fact it is consciousness…
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…
In ignorance, I am a mortal body mind
In ignorance, I have accepted that I am a mortal body mind, a person. Once that assumption is established and not questioned, thoughts arise all of which refer to this me, the body mind I feel I am. Judgmental thoughts. Blaming thoughts. Praising thoughts. Hopeful thoughts. Regretful thoughts.…
Inner chatter is about me, about the separate self. Mistaking myself to be the body mind, mistaking myself to be a dream character maintains, fuels the inner chatter. Contemplate:”what am I truly? ” Notice that which is aware of the chatter. Am I the dream character that appears? Am I the bundle of…
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…
How about living as universal awareness?
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…
Mistaking awareness to be mind is ignorance.
We associate awareness with I as awareness and not with me as a body mind appearance. Mistaking awareness to be mind is ignorance. Although the substance of mind is awareness, awareness is its own substance and is not known via the mind. You know the tree. The tree does not know itself nor does it…

We only experience now. Comparison is dream like, illusory. How can we compare anything outside of our current experience? When we are comparing, we are comparing our current experience with our current experience since we know nothing else but this current experience, as awareness. The problem is…
Although you experience the world via the body mind, it does not mean you are the body mind instrument. What appears to you is meant for your awakening from the belief and feeling that you are the body mind instrument. Your innate freedom is veiled by your identification with/as the body mind.…

Be watchful that you are not merely living according to your comfort zone.
Be watchful that you are not merely living according to your comfort zone. Oftentime challenging situations may arise in your life that will invite you to surrender and contemplate truth. Take advantage of such godsent opportunities and do not retreat into your personal mind and emotions. Allow the…
Our true nature is not material and cannot be explained
Our true nature is not material. So how can it be explained? Whatever is explained, is downstream. Although truth, reality cannot be explained, once it is deeply recognized, it can be alluded to metaphorically and it can be experienced in/as the silent presence of the awakened mind and in/as the…
Difficulties and challenges at the body mind level do not refer to unhappiness and suffering. The complete ending of the me-identification is the end of suffering. Post awakening, the body mind continues to be subject to cause and effect. But the thorn of misery and suffering is removed with the…
About 'Hereness/Presence'~~~ In 'Hereness/Presence' there are not two. 'Hereness' is quite different from I am here as someone (a body mind object) existing in some physical location. The statement: 'the oak tree is in the yard' refers to an object in relation to another object. Hereness/Presence…
Until you awaken to the non dual nature of the Self, remain watchful not to prematurely declare victory simply based on the clarity of your advaitic understanding. Until you are established in your true nature that is causeless peace and happiness continue to study the way and the guidance that…
