There are no teachers and no students.
There are no teachers and no students. The Self is absolute and non dual. Talking about teachers personal traits is an empty dual dream conversation that refers to the weather. The weather, like everything else is void of personal traits. It is universal, impersonal, cosmic. When you personify the…
In a timeless flash, we may realize the emptiness of our belief structures
We may have a glimpse of our true nature. Through this glimpse, in a timeless flash, we may realize the emptiness of our belief structures, the illusion of the personal self and the glorious wholeness of consciousness. In this glimpse, which is not in time, the mind is completely absent as it…

The personal self is an experience you are having and not what you are.
The personal self is an experience you are having and not what you are. In fact there is no personal self. It is just a bundle of thoughts and feelings. Like your night dreams. Except in the waking state (waking dream), there is a tendency to identify. In the night dream the tendency to identify is…
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…
