“A sane mind doubts, knows the quality of doubting, questioning, having scepticism, but also it knows when to let it go. Like a dog on a leash, it must be held, but you also know when the dog must run freely.”~ J Krishnamurti Indeed, it seems so important for each of us to – if […]
Finite body/mind thinking and feelings called ‘experience’ in time/space are totally affected by content – by apparent ‘happenings’ that come and go in duality, and which we ‘think’ and believe is reality. Non-dual awareness of that experience is not itself affected; it is objectless, choiceless, undisturbed, infinitely peaceful – as waves do not disturb the […]
“You have plenty of time to amuse yourself – to go walking, sailing, watching people play cricket, sitting in front of the television. You have plenty of time. Give some of that time to look at these problems. Which is, the nature and the structure of thought. Don’t learn from others – what you learn […]
“Actually, as it is in the world, what is living? Not your idea or my idea of what living is; what is the fact, the actual fact of what is going on in the world? What is actually going on in the world is war, national divisions, tremendous prejudices, race against race, colour against colour, […]

There’s no need to stop thought. Let the brain chatter as it will – it has to move and you cannot control thoughts. There’s no need, just never mind them – if you don’t resist they won’t persist. Lovingly, non-judgmentally, watch the mind like you’re a welcoming hotel host watching the lobby traffic coming and […]
The heart of wholeness and contentment lies in the direct recognition of awareness. It’s – in a word – what Self-Inquiry is all about. Here’s a brief collection of words on that theme that may resonate and be insightful and delightful for our growing community. Please enjoy, share and comment if so moved. 🙂 The […]
That which is seeing beauty is beauty; that which is loving it is love; that which is peacefully delighting in knowing this – all this – is what one is – this pure, nonpersonal and truly intimate and alert awareness – wonderful, yes. 🙂
‘What is’ can be understood only when the ‘I’ can look without the image, without the word, without the symbol. Then the mind meets the new with freshness. The feeling of greed which arises is new. The feeling is new but thought says, ‘That is greed’ – the word. The word establishes it in the […]
