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…

Continue reading →: “Pure Love without the intervention of the ‘doer’”“PURE LOVE WITHOUT THE INTERVENTION OF THE ‘DOER’” “Love” that is free from the intervention of the “doer”—that construct of thought (the false self) at the center of which “I” believe myself to be—is pure, unconditional love in the truest sense. 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…

Continue reading →: “Contemplation”“CONTEMPLATION” Contemplation is not a doing performed by “me.” It is not about making judgments regarding “good and evil,” nor is it about self-reflection aimed at improving the (separate) self known as “I,” nor is it about weighing matters based on societal opinion. Of course, it is not a matter…

Continue reading →: “Returning to the true nature of existence”“RETURNING TO THE TRUE NATURE OF EXISTENCE” The enlightenment and insight that emerge through self-observation and self-inquiry effortlessly liberate us—from various our own unconscious assumptions—into its true nature of existence: a pure and perfect being that is happiness itself, impersonal, unconditional love as openness (which is entirely different from the…

Continue reading →: “Immediacy”“IMMEDIACY” The mind (ego) constantly needs to be someone. Therefore, for example, it interprets the truth of non-duality—a truth so profound and unfathomable that it defies capture—through a dualistic lens.
