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…
You are resisting God’s invitation
In the investigation of the I that I AM, you only find God's I AM. Universal I AM. You will not find any personal I AM. The personal I AM is revealed to be a download and not the real I AM. You will not find Santa Claus. The Self is universal Beingness, transparent infinite aware presence. The…
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…

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.

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…
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 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…

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…

You cannot will yourself nor image yourself into awakening.
You cannot make believe yourself into awakening. You cannot will yourself nor image yourself into awakening. For the self that awakens is a figment of your dreams. The true Self neither awakens nor sleeps. It is neither discovered nor lost. It is eternal shining light of Being/Awareness, invisible…
When you are traveling through rough terrain and heavy turbulence, it is God that is calling you
When you are traveling through rough terrain and heavy turbulence, it is God that is calling you. Behind everything that unfolds, is the voice of God. This apparent journey is a dream journey. You imagine it to be real out of your freedom and out of your love for the game. Every now and then, you…
All subject-object impressions are dream impression that do not divide the indivisible reality of consciousness. Nothing stands apart from the Self, from the one universal reality of consciousness that is seamless and non-dual. Thou are That. When you perceive forms, trace the perception back to…
Love: The spaciousness of Awareness Everything arises in you, as you, out of you and is made out of you. There is no separation, no separate self, no separate other. Like in your night dreams, all the images, all the dreams are intimate with you, the dreamer. Similarly in the waking state,…
