This realm is an opportunity to realize the reality of divine presence and to realize the true emptiness of form which seems so real and pressing. We come into existence endowed with love for truth and happiness. As a separate self, we travel astray to distant lands that reveal ‘not here’, ‘not…
Speaking of appearances: Being knowingly the transparency of being/awareness is void of subject/object and yet it is not an empty emptiness. Although being/awareness is no thing and can be said to be empty, this emptiness/nothingness is simultaneously fullness/everythingness. Thinking, feeling,…
Life cannot live through you when you are a dense structure of beliefs and activities.
Life cannot live through you when you are a dense structure of beliefs and activities. Life needs a hollow vessel in order to sing, like the musical sound of the flute requires the empty space within its chamber. It is the emptiness of the vessel that allows the harmonious dance of life.

Wanting, desire has to do with an object and a subject.
Wanting, desire has to do with an object and a subject. You imagine a subject/object and that is desire. So desire is imagining and it is time and it is space. It is a mutual arising, but not a real arising. Time and space dissolve when you listen openly. They both come into the listening and they…
If your path takes you away from the world that is okay. If your path is in the world and of the world that is okay as well. What matters is that you continue the contemplation no matter what's happening in your space. No matter how things are unfolding for you. Your love for truth and your…
About nobody and negation. ~~~ In non-duality, 'nobody' is often misunderstood to refer to void and to an empty emptiness. Sometimes, one arrives at the following understanding: 'nothing is real, there is nothing to do, all there is is this and whoever is seeking truth is in illusion'. I refer to…
Nihilism refers to a conceptual understanding of the Self. "There is no-one and the world is not real", is only an interim stage towards the realization of the Self. When the world body mind is seen as emptiness but the fullness of the Self is not revealed, the understanding is partial and often…
