“In aware living, there’s a curious delight in constantly learning here and now – not to know, but to understand, not to become but to be; to live well and truly in harmony with what is, as it presents, here. To not react but to act from the goodness of our common nature. To love, yes 🙂 ** You’re also invited to visit Facebook:

‘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 […]
There’s a natural peace and quiet in aware living that’s needed by all of us at any time, but especially in these turbulent times, apparently. In any event, it’s perhaps helpful and in fact, realistic, to note: ‘This too, will pass…has passed.’ Seems life is a constant movement; it has curves, twists and round-abouts, […]
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 […]
