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…
What is it to be awake? What is it that is awake? ~~ When you imagine yourself to be a character, you are dreaming yourself. You dream the character, you dream its activities, you dream its awakening. Everything about the character is dream. What is awake is awareness. Truth is Isness/Awareness,…
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…

This is a wonder full journey we are on.
This is a wonder full journey we are on. Together. We are contemplating this journey. Each one of us is looking in a certain specific direction and sharing their journey. It is transparent. I can see many folks preoccupied. In a sort of a bubble. I don’t follow their journey since it does not seem…
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…
Thought is a manifestation of the stillness of awareness out of which it arises and by which it is permeated. Awareness is infinite potential, like a tree and its leaves. Knowing the true nature of thought reveals the silent stillness of awareness, independent of thought. Self knowledge is void of…
We love our stories. That is why in listening, we are listening to our story and in fact, we are not listening at all. We are listening to the past which repeats itself: Me, me, me. her, her, her. That is the story. Always me, him, her. What is this me? We are so fascinated by it. But what is it?…
The mind perceives object and does not perceive the source
The mind perceives object and does not perceive the source that creates it and perceives it. The light of Being creates/shines as mind but is not defined by what it creates/shines upon and as. Irrespective of how it shines it remains as it is, whole and complete. Beyond the narrow confines of the…
REMAIN AS YOU ARE Within thought, there is an imagined me, a personal self in an imaginary future. But not really. There is no time. Time is thought, mind impressions. Floating images in the open space of awareness that dreams all dreams without ever being affected by its infinite dreams. Remain as…
When you perceive others Separate from yourself Your innate vision is lost You are looking with Diffracted eyes And you have left your innate wisdom The knowingness of your globality Your innate unicity When you perceive a world Separate from yourself You have transgressed In the realm of desire…
The personal self is an add on
When you realize that the personal aspect is an add on that veils and spoils the breadth of impersonality, you drop it and you keep dropping it because it is stubbornly residing in your felling state resulting in the impression of a personal self. Then you realize that even this dropping is not an…
Before thought becomes an object which relates to a separate subject, thought is intimate and impersonal. Thought is cosmic, like the weather. The personal identification is an add-on that creates the unhappy illusion of a separate subject. From a conversation with a friend: What is thought? Is it…
Squirrels hopping from branch to branch chasing each other.
Squirrels hopping from branch to branch chasing each other. The Kwak Kwak Kwak sound of the crows in the distance. Birds at the birdfeeder and the gentle swing of the bare branches in the winterours space. What a wonder! Not apart from breath From the taste of tea Fingers on the keyboard The soft…
We are one as everything. Aren’t we?
We are one as everything. Aren’t we? We share the same feelings and so much more. We recognize each other. My sorrows. Your sorrows. Same same. We are more similar than we think. Like two drops of water. We play the game of being separate. But it is not so. The truth is so much deeper than the…
What we refer to as the body is an open borderless space of awareness that embraces everything. Within this space of being/presence, awareness is everything, without any separate doer or observer. The breath, thought, the swinging branches of the trees, the song of the birds in the distance…
THE MEANING OF ETERNITY Being has never not been. What is not has never been. Isness cannot be not-isness I AM cannot not-be The meaning of eternity is I AM Borderless Being/Awareness Not in time and space Look directly at your experience Before any download And you will recognize the meaning…
The seamlessness of Being/Awareness.
The water is contained in the glass The glass is contained in the room The room is contained in the house The house is contained in the neighborhood The neighborhood is contained in the village The village is contained in the district. What is the real container beyond thought? The harmony of…
I AM is absolute, one without a second. Happiness is not possible as long as it depends on situations, circumstances or experiences. Recognizing our true nature returns us to the unadorned I AM. Universal Self. I, the wide open sky of awareness, confronts nothing as I am everything. I face nothing…
You consider yourself to be a person
Notice how without even being aware of it, most of the day and night, you consider yourself to be a person and most of your thoughts are about me, my life, my work, my home, my future, my relationships. So you remain preoccupied caught up in the feelings, the emotions. This spin goes on and on.…
I AM Is a direct recognition of Being/Awareness
I AM Is a direct recognition of Being/Awareness I know I AM As Being, I AM validates itself, beyond any becoming Beyond time and space. There are no conditions to I AM I am not more I AM when the weather is good Nor am I less I AM when the weather is cloudy. I AM Is not dependent on thought, events…
Form and thought are absent in deep sleep
Form and thought are absent in deep sleep as well as when the body is under anesthesia. Anesthesia and sleep are states that relate to the body mind but not to awareness which neither sleeps nor is awake. Awareness is not a state. Awareness IS. Sat-Chit-Ananda. Between thought A and thought B you…
Given there is only you As universal borderless presence Fear is self generated An internal panorama That does not reflect any actuality. Within your very self You imagine danger Since you have separated yourself From the wholeness of Being Giving rise to external worlds And external others You…
COMPLETE CERTAINTY The brain, the world, sense organs, light enters, light exists. Is this really what is going on? Could be. What would the snail or the chameleon say? What is it that we can be absolutely certain of? What is it that we can point to beyond any doubt whatsoever? I cannot name it. Or…
