Upon slapping a mortal form onto the formless I/awareness

Most of us suffer from the mental disorder of believing that we are the body mind and that we are born. I would even say that most of the 7 billion folks on this planet adhere to this belief. Given this disorder, it is not surprising that our actions reflect this belief that we are the images, the…
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…

Suffering is the illusion of separation. A dream character cannot save another dream character. An illusion cannot help an illusion. Helping someone is a dream inside a dream. Only God's help is real, infinite and Eternal Appearing as everything and everyone Rarely recognized. Appearing in the form…

If you are unhappy and content with your unhappiness, then the teachings, direct or indirect are irrelevant to you. But if you are unhappy and seeking to understand the process underlying your unhappiness, then the teachings are very helpful and provide you with the understanding that may release…
In fact, nothing separates reality, nothing divides wholeness. To be knowingly undivided is quite different from not knowing ones wholeness. We forget our wholeness whenever we identify with a form. A king is indeed a king, no matter what. But when the king believes he is a pauper he is in…
Once we cease to resist and cease to imagine things needing to be different, we may find ourselves at peace and the images on the screen becoming sweeter and sweeter. The impressions of suffering are the expression of our resistance. We resist because we imagined ourselves to be in danger. This…
