What is it that is not contained?
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 it that is not contained? What is the real container…
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…
Life is about happiness and our ‘mission’ is to awaken to causeless happiness
Life is about happiness and our 'mission' is to awaken to causeless happiness and go beyond the (so-called) happiness that depends on objects, that depends on relationships, that depends on experiences or situations. Only upon becoming free from all conditions are we able to celebrate causeless…
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…
How unhappy separation is Me, me And not you Me, me Apart from you Me, me What can I get from you Me, me Beware of me Beware of you Such unhappiness Such madness You haunt me In my waking dreams In may night dreams With your images With my images Haunting images Haunting you Haunting me You haunt…
DESIRE We imagine a separate object that we imagine to be apart from our experience and simultaneously, we imagine ourself to be a separate subject that lacks the imagined object. Desire is a dualistic imagining that separates us, but not really. Separation is imagination. This internal mechanism…
I notice that there is no difference between me and whatever appears to me
I notice. I notice that there is no difference between me and whatever appears to me. I notice, I know and I feel there is no difference between me and you. You perceive, I perceive. You breathe, I breathe. One breath. I can see how petty you sometimes can be and I know that it is very possible…
TURIYA. What is the experience of no self?
TURIYA. What is the experience of no self? Turiya cannot be comprehended by the mind. It cannot be comprehended by a separate self since Turiya is the absence of separation, the dissolution of the veils of duality. The ending of the subject-object dichotomy. Turiya is not an experience as we…
There is nothing you perceive That is not you. How could there be anything else But you? Have you ever experienced anything else But you? Have you ever known anything else But you? Think about it. It is all you. Never anything apart. You try very hard to separate yourself. But it is in vain. It is…
THE FIRST AFTERTHOUGHT In love, there is no me and you. No concerns. The me and you is an afterthought. Time is an afterthought. 'Me and you in time', is an add on. It is the result of thinking and separating yourself as a subject experiencing external objects. The concerns, the fears are a result…
ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE. THAT WHICH CANNOT BE DENIED Absolute knowledge is the collapse of all parts. What remains is absolute, without parts, non segmented. Whatever thought segments, I am not. Everything that you know, you know via your mind. Thoughts, images, memories, sensations, perceptions are…
What is this separate self that haunts you?
What is this separate self that haunts you, this person that you believe you are? What is this me and you that separates that which is inseparable? In the absence of the I-thought and the You-thought, in the absence of the old story that divides us, in the absence of images that we identify with,…
All obstacles are seeming obstacles. They are mind impressions that point to the illusion of duality. They point to the erroneous belief that there is a separate subject. Obstacles lead us to struggle with them, a dream struggle that does not reveal the innate happiness of the Self. Sooner or later…
THOUGHT AND AWARENESS The thought that says ‘my mind and your mind’ does not establish any real separation. ‘Here and there’, ‘mine and yours’ appear as thought but does not alter the open space of awareness which remains whole, undivided and untouched by thought. Awareness is unalterable and…
Can the perceiver be perceived? Can the seer be seen?
Can the perceiver be perceived? Can the seer be seen? ~~~ The perceiver is the Self. Meaning it is You (I) that perceives, whatever that You (I) is. You (I) perceive perceptions, thoughts, sensations. Those are phenomenal events that appear to You (I). But that (I) which perceives is not phenomenal…
Why do we suffer? ~~ Reply: The impression of suffering is meant for your awakening to truth and the ending of separation. Mistaking the rope for the snake triggers fears that are founded on the falsehood of the mind. Separation is a false impression that triggers resistance as well as seeking…
What is it that is enlightened? What is it that gets enlightened?
What is it that is enlightened or gets enlightened? ~~ Given duality is illusion, given reality is non-dual, one could say everything is enlightened and one could say nothing is enlightened as long as there is clarity that there are no separate forms, no separate objects, no separate selves. One…
For the eyes that can see, Everything points to the Self
Suffering is the illusion of separation. A dream character cannot save another dream character. An illusion cannot help an illusion. Helping someone is a dream inside a dream. Only God's help is real, infinite and Eternal Appearing as everything and everyone Rarely recognized. Appearing in the form…
ABOUT RIGHT AND WRONG Right and wrong apply at the mind level. Love and Truth are not sourced from the mind that perceives opposites. They are absolute and transcend thought. Love, Truth illuminates thought but is not illuminated by thought. Thought is known and is not-knowing. The light of…
The separate personal i is a mind impression that appears with the purpose of inviting us to awakening. This unhappy separate personal impression continues to arise until awakening. The separate personal self impression, the I-thought and me-feeling ends upon the full realization of the Self and…
Love and Truth are not sourced from the mind
Right and wrong apply at the mind level. Love and truth are not sourced from the mind. They are absolute and transcend thought. Love, Truth illuminates thought but is not illuminated by thought. Truth is neither right nor wrong. As long as there is personal identification, as long as there is a…
It is so easy to confuse sentimentality and emotivity with the awaken heart
It is so easy to confuse sentimentality and emotivity with the awaken heart. In sentimentality there is still the sense of separation experienced as a subject and an object, a me and the other. The awaken heart expresses itself as wholeness, as the universal shining light that shines beyond any…
The i is not the same as I. The shadow of the tree is not the tree. The i is known, perceived as a mind object, a thought sensation. The I is knowingness itSelf, the reality of that which is known. There is no separation between the dream and the dreamer out of which the dream appears and by which…
Awakening from the unhappy impression of separation is our deepest aspiration and our hearts only desire. It is a great fortune to be introduced to the Dharma. And a greater fortune to recognize and honor this wondrous gift. As you inquire into truth your love for truth deepens. It is then…
THE SPACIOUSNESS OF AWARENESS Awareness is real. What could deny it? Awareness is like the wide open sky ever inviting you to the revelation that there is no form that is beyond awareness. The wide open sky being formless and undivided cannot conceive of separation, cannot conceive of this and…
