Grazing lightly on the news these days, it seems these times are like all times: full of confined, contested and conflicted humans variously and consistently repeating all the common errors man is heir to. There’s apparently all the historical desires and familiar fears, but now they’re globally amped up by social, story-based media, and the […]
“Ideals and utopias offer means of escape from actually what is, which is, the human mind is violent. Let us face it, understand it, not in time, gradually, but actually look at it now, understand it very clearly. You can only understand it when the observer is not there because the observer is the very […]
Look without opinion; you will see love, you will be peace. In openly listening and learning – only here, only now – one comes into a direct unfliltered ‘knowing’ beyond belief, beyond personal conditioning, beyond fleeting and fretful fears, doubts and desires. One is free simply to act – not react – and to […]
“There is only awareness; awareness as you enter a building, awareness of all the colours, the faces, the people; awareness in which there is no choice – just to be aware. As you are aware when you look at a flower or when you listen to the sound of an aeroplane overhead, just to […]
Our nature is like a clear blue sky; our minds conceptual descriptions – when believed – create the clouds which would otherwise float by. Of course, this does not mean that there should not be clouds – they happen – but that the ego/ mind (which is nothing but beliefs) does what it does […]
The ending of believing in thought is the beginnine of wisdom. * Here’s a perhaps relevant ‘old’ note about some of my apparent exploring along the way, noted in 2007; it’s written as a digestive aid, as is most of my writing; you too may recognize and enjoy the searching, the musing and the dance, […]
Awareness is not an experience belonging to time and finite, body-mind evolution. It’s infinite, timeless, measureless and very subtle – so subtle that one may – and almost everyone does – confuse it with the apparent bling of one’s much more sensory, evident, sentient experience. It’s undescribable and unapproachable and unrecognizable by the […]
It’s easy and seemingly natural, for the new-born baby being to become a specific ‘person’; for the egoic entity called ‘me’, to mentally, emotionally and psychologically, apparently, appear and to enter into the long days and nights of filtered experience; of learning how to react by observing, copying and pretending to be an adult with […]
It’s gently raining and the delicate drops flow and tinkle melodiously down the drain pipe near my open window. The light outside is soft wet greens and misty grays; the three story high forest of needled trees fifty feet away wave and beckon me to step out and to step into, nature. We’ll see if […]
Reality, Peace and joy are at the heart of deep healing. In aware living, in being well and living truly, there’s no future. No past either. We discover what’s next, only when and as, it happens, now. In truth, in life, in non-personal fact, the pattern and rhythm of what is keeps changing; in quietude and gratitude, we […]
