Examine your suffering closely
The gardens of Versailles belong to the Republique of France. ~~At the core of your experience, there is silence and stillness which permeates your entire experience and yet, this silent stillness is overlooked. And whenever the silent stillness is felt, it is not clear that this silent presence is…
I, awareness permeates the entire experience
When the mind is silent as well when the mind is active, I/Aware presence permeates the entire experience. One could say that when the mind is silent, I/aware presence permeates experience knowingly. When the mind is active, although I/aware presence does permeate the entire experience, the…
The peace of being is independent of whatever it is you are experiencing. Knowing yourself to be borderless aware presence invites you into the heart of stillness and beyond the mind impressions of time and space. Keep returning to the eternal now, to the timelessness of presence and the impression…
Upon slapping a mortal form onto the formless I/awareness
Upon slapping a mortal form onto the formless I/awareness, you reduce yourself to an imagined form and you suffer the consequences of cause and effect. Once you believe yourself to be an object, an imagined body mind, you become subject to this condition and you live the impact of dependence and…
You are not what you imagine yourself to be
You are not what you imagine yourself to be. It is what you truly are that imagines itself to be what you think and feel you are. Therefore, you and your experience are its imagination. Your sense of personal being as well as the world you perceive are via its imagination. Via the contemplation of…

There is a practice of noticing within oneself the me-tendencies. Some me-tendencies are loud and obvious, easy to notice, other are subtle, barely noticed and go under the radar. At times noticing the mind going outwards is clear and facile and the mind can be brought back to the silent inward…
It is much more challenging to feel whole, to be whole than to understand wholeness. Somehow, we have to dive below thinking and deeply into the realm of feelings. The tendency to remain at the surface of feelings does not reveal their empty true nature. Once we approach feelings with silence,…
We leave ourself in favor of fleeting experiences, sensations and temporary relationships. Upon feeling the loss of ourself in the process of thinking and feeling, a pinch arises in our experience which gets tighter and tighter, calling us back to rest at the heart❤️of our being. This heart is ever…
Do not overlay your own script onto God’s silence
When you overlay onto God's voice your own voice, when you overlay onto God's form your own for, when you overlay over God's silence your own script, you are no longer able to hear her or perceive her. She is the eternal light shining as everything and everyone but you look at her via your own…
About the teaching: "Returning to consciousness" and "There is nothing to return to" Yes, there is nothing to return to and no one to return to anything. Having said that, this is true once it is true. Repeating "there is nothing to return to" means nothing if it is not your direct established…
You are hypnotized by the bubble of your own thoughts and you perceive through that peephole. How do you expect the realization of vastness when you continue to defend your stale positions? Drop your argumentative mind and sit in silence contemplating the Self. The mind is a maze that hijacks the…
In ignorance, I am a mortal body mind
In ignorance, I have accepted that I am a mortal body mind, a person. Once that assumption is established and not questioned, thoughts arise all of which refer to this me, the body mind I feel I am. Judgmental thoughts. Blaming thoughts. Praising thoughts. Hopeful thoughts. Regretful thoughts.…
Our true nature is not material and cannot be explained
Our true nature is not material. So how can it be explained? Whatever is explained, is downstream. Although truth, reality cannot be explained, once it is deeply recognized, it can be alluded to metaphorically and it can be experienced in/as the silent presence of the awakened mind and in/as the…
Every moment you have the opportunity for stillness.
Every moment you have the opportunity for stillness. The contemplation of the unmoved peace of being. It is this contemplation, this sort of return to your true nature, the recollection of the peace and stillness of being, which establishes you as the transparency and peace that you have always…
Thought is a manifestation of the stillness of awareness out of which it arises and by which it is permeated. Awareness is infinite potential, like a tree and its leaves. Knowing the true nature of thought reveals the silent stillness of awareness, independent of thought. Self knowledge is void of…
While dreams appear to you You do not appear
While dreams appear to you You do not appear While body mind impressions appear to you You do not appear All appearances arise out of you and are at zero distance from you Like heat appears out of fire Like wetness appears out if water Like words appear out of silence Zero distance. One whole…
The personal self is an add on
When you realize that the personal aspect is an add on that veils and spoils the breadth of impersonality, you drop it and you keep dropping it because it is stubbornly residing in your felling state resulting in the impression of a personal self. Then you realize that even this dropping is not an…

A seeming arising Like sunshine Thought arises Like breath Mentation seemingly appears Like mist A seeming arising The stirring of separation I am an object A mind impression arising In so called time and space Thought impression And so-called feeling That echoes a personal self Echoes And echoes…
There is this inner knowingness, A silent inner light, That has no name and no form
On some level If you insist One could say that We are human beings Why not? We name everything Since we can We do Why not name this realm As a human realm Since we can name, we do But what does it mean? There is this inner knowingness A silent inner light That has no name and no form Cannot be…
Squirrels hopping from branch to branch chasing each other.
Squirrels hopping from branch to branch chasing each other. The Kwak Kwak Kwak sound of the crows in the distance. Birds at the birdfeeder and the gentle swing of the bare branches in the winterours space. What a wonder! Not apart from breath From the taste of tea Fingers on the keyboard The soft…
THE MEANING OF ETERNITY Being has never not been. What is not has never been. Isness cannot be not-isness I AM cannot not-be The meaning of eternity is I AM Borderless Being/Awareness Not in time and space Look directly at your experience Before any download And you will recognize the meaning…
As you remain quiet and still…
As you remain quiet and still, as if 'behind' what is unfolding, without any movement, without any judgment, without any resistance, you will notice a deep sense of peace that is untouched by the appearance. This is an alive intelligent stillness that does not reach for anything. A wide open sky…
About silence and stillness. ~~ There is a quality of silence that is beyond the mind, that is not imposed by thought, that is not conceived by the mind, that is not manufactured, that is not created. It permeates everything. Actually, it is complete intimacy with what we refer to as everything, it…
