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…
As long as you are interested in the world body mind, you get the roller coaster ride.
Yes. As long as you are interested in the world body mind, you get the roller coaster ride. There is no way around it. Up and down you go. Then you get off the ride and get on another one, like in the amusement park. There is no way out as long as your interest is in what appears. You have tasted…
Consciousness knows itself without the mind. I know i am. So what? How is this helpful?
Comment: Consciousness knows itself without the mind. I know i am. So what? How is this helpful? ~~~ When you believe yourself to be the mind, when you define yourself by thoughts and sensations, by the mind, you are overlooking your Self-knowingness and you are relying on what you experience to…
Question: Would you say that the role that art plays is to point to beauty that perhaps, at least momentarily, stuns the mind into abeyance; a taste of the eternal? Is the spiritual journey one of discovery and discernment of how we sustain ignorance? I love that the root of ignorance is to ignore!…
The spinning of the mind only leads to more spin
The spinning of the mind only leads to more spin and does not reveal the peace and immutable light of Being/Awareness. Your interest in the myriad forms and in all sorts of arisings keeps you bound to that which arises and dissolves, leaving you dissatisfied and unfulfilled. A clarity of mind and a…
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…
Is there beauty outside the realm of opposites ? ~~ The realm of opposites is the realm of personal preferences and the realm of dualist thought. It is impermanent and shifting. Beauty is not dependent on any alignment or conditions. It is recognized as the absence of duality. There is no beauty…
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…
There is a return to the source
Once you realize the separate self to be a dream character, the world to be dream images and the body dream sensations, the mind becomes quiet. Everything and everyone points to the Self and merges in the Self. There is a return to the source, whereby the world, the mind, the body dissolve into the…
IS IT OK TO COME BACK INTO THE RELATIVE?
IS IT OK TO COME BACK INTO THE RELATIVE? In your experience, is there such a thing as coming in and out of the 'relative'? Maybe thought is arising speaking about relative and absolute. Or maybe there is peace and stillness and the complete absence of duality, the complete absence of relative or…
SEEKING PERSONAL RECOGNITION. .Wanting to fill and maintain the illusory container of the personal self. Dream characters seeking dream rewards. We often overlook that this dream is about waking up from the dream and not about managing the dream character we mistakenly believe we are. Rather than…
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…
In this hologram, the sages are the blessing that can release you from bondage and free you from the grip of the dualistic mind. Elevating the teacher and honoring the teacher is not about the teacher but about liberation and awakening. It is about the teaching that is expressed through the teacher…
As soon as we choose to identify with a self image or a belief, we have distanced ourselves from source. Drop the image, drop the belief, what remains? Images are fleeting. Thoughts and feelings are fleeting. They arise in the wholeness of Being. They do not represent truth nor do they have access…
Out of not-knowingness arises the pristine path that is not infected by the impression of existing in time and space. Following the mind is best after inviting the mind to pause, to rest and soak in its source. The ocean of not-knowing, out of which all knowingness arises is the bliss of the Self…
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…
All gods refer to One God, One Reality
Friend: Do you believe all gods like Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha and Mother Divine Mother Reply: All gods refer to One God, One Reality. Manifesting as all forms and referring to the one reality that is beyond all forms. As your contemplation deepens, you enter the vast cave of inner silence where the…
This waking dream is about waking up from the belief that I am the body mind.
This waking dream is about waking up from the belief that I am the body mind. If we do not wake up, we continue to believe and feel that we are a bundle of personal thoughts and feelings. Without awakening, the dream of personal body mind continues and we continue the unhappy pursuit of forms. The…
The realization of the Self permeates the entire life and transforms it completely.
It is not merely an understanding that one expresses from a high intellectual non-dual pedestal. The true teaching is expressed in silence. Words flow from the silence and express the silent understanding. It is not a forced, learned or simulated silence. It is not a silence that comes from…
BEING KNOWINGLY CONSCIOUSNESS IS BEYOND THE MIND
BEING KNOWINGLY CONSCIOUSNESS IS BEYOND THE MIND Being knowingly consciousness is a sort of absence where everything that is happening is nothing happening and your knowingness is effortless as That which does not waver and does not move, remaining uninterrupted. This knowingness is within itself…
This waking dream is about waking up from the belief that I am the body mind

You are the Self. Is it not via the Self that you know the Self? Are you not already the Self? What else are you if not the Self, the reality of consciousness? There is nothing that is not already the Self. What is it that says you are the body mind? What is it that says the world is external? Is…
