Continue reading →: “What is needed”“WHAT IS NEEDED” What is needed is not to look “how the world and other people are faring right now,” nor—even less so—to think about or propose “how to solve” the problems perceived to exist there. What is needed is to realize “what I am doing right now”—asking “Why?” or…

Continue reading →: “Resting in awareness”“RESTING IN AWARENESS” Awareness, because of unconsciously the mistaken identification its very existence with the narrative of “I” (a powerless being easily influenced by its environment), begins to cope with the reality by retreating into a world of thought, a constructed “world as it ought to be” built upon assumptions…

Continue reading →: “Knowing”“KNOWING” Both “knowing” and “seeing,” there is simply the “knowing” or “seeing” itself. “Being” is simply “being”; nowhere does a “I” exist to serve as its center. Experience merely unfolds according to causes and conditions; it is nothing more than that. There is no owner to any of these things.…

Continue reading →: “Precisely Because It Is The Simplest”“PRECISELY BECAUSE IT IS THE SIMPLEST” The truth—the answer to the question “What, exactly, am I?—is neither religion, nor philosophy, nor any other form of intellectual or conceptual knowledge; nor is it, of course, some new spiritual identity to be adopted. In reality, it is the simplest and most unshakeable…

Continue reading →: “Illusion of duality as divisiveness”“ILLUSION OF DUALITY AS DIVISIVENESS” No matter how magnificent the “ideal” one pursues may be, it is always a greed for something other than the “now”—an expression of dissatisfaction with and resistance to the raw reality of what is, and an attachment to a mental image of a future that…

It is the manifestation of an infinite capacity for…

Continue reading →: “Where there is the unconscious”“WHERE THERE IS THE UNCONSCIOUS” It is the pure presence is identified with the mind (the “self,” the ego)—the story of the “self”—and totally confused. In other words, it means being immersed in thought—addiction of thinking, phantom-self-hypnosis—rather than being present in the “now” as the awareness. On the flip side,…

Continue reading →: “Not simply that we want to know mere method”“NOT SIMPLY THAT WE WANT TO KNOW THE METHOD.” It is not simply that we all wants to know mere method. That is why, no matter the subject, even if someone tells us, “It’s actually a very simple method,” we never simply go ahead and do it. And yet, at…

Continue reading →: “Quote of the Day”“Enlightenment and insight refer to the truth realized by pure ‘awareness’ when the ‘false self’—that is, the ‘I’—is dismantled and dissolves.” “Therefore, enlightenment and insight are by no means things that the ‘self’ comes to ‘know,’ ‘attain,’ or ‘become’ through self-improvement, or ‘transform’ into.” “Consequently, there is no such thing…

Continue reading →: “Oneness is not identification”“ONENESS IS NOT IDENTIFICATION” “Oneness” is by no means about identifying oneself with others. As one engages in self-observation and self-inquiry through the clarity of the innermost stillness, and comes to comprehend existence as it truly is while embracing it unconditionally, one can begin to purely perceive the same essence—existence—even…
