Friend: How is memory recognized or brought into the Now? Just now as I woke up, it seems that I didn't remember the address of the place where I live? But then all of sudden a thought arose without me thinking about it with the correct address. Reply: Memory arises as images and as bodily…
Question: What is thought? Is this where separation occurs? Reply: Separation is the belief that I, consciousness, am limited to a particular form, to a particular body mind. Separation occurs at the mental level, meaning at the thought level as well as at the feeling level meaning at the body…
We get concerned about dying as we mistakenly imagine the death of the dream to be my death. Thus we hold on to the dream while every night we willingly release it in deep sleep. Why are we so attached to the fleeting? Is it not that we mistake the fleeting to be permanent? Is it not that we…
All states of consciousness exist through my non existence and as my non existence. Ö. S. : To say I am non existent you must exist, don't you? Reply: What we refer to as existence is relative to other objects and requires someone to know it. That is what we refer to as the mind. The reality of…
What we refer to as thought is an innocent and innocuous modulation of consciousness. It is the separative I-thought that is the minds' futile attempt at dividing the indivisible. In our recognition of the futility of dividing wholeness into me-segments, we giggle and cease to feed that delusion.…

What maintains the sense of self?
The sense of self is maintained via the feeling state, via bodily sensations. That is where the me-identification roots itself. That is where we get entangled, in the feelings. Then the I-thought sticks to the feeling and relies on the feeling as its evidence that, indeed, I am a mortal body…
Finding fault with the oneself or another created an illusory division in the seamless and borderless open space of being. The mind becomes charged with a sense of separate me and with the angst of judgment. Finding fault with the other maintains the me and you duality and maintains the contraction…

Why not enjoy the waking dream?
If you want to be at ease in life, to enjoy the waking dream. then why add constraints and conditions? Why encumber the space with your personal conditions, rules and restrictions? You are only limiting and constraining yourself. If you believe that you have no choice, then you will continue to…
