“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:

From where I sit, surrounded and absorbed there’s no centre, no need to hold, there’s nothing but beauty in freely beholding in simply being all that’s seeing, all that’s smelling green tea, that’s tasting marmalade on morning crackers, that’s gently watching flooding window light, flowing wind whispers inspiring the curtains, simply as peace quietly loving […]
The direct recognition of facts as non-personal is a total life-changer in that one lives in fidelity to reality, not in the mind’s conditioned intention, but now, in real attention. REALITY IS NOT WHAT WE THOUGHTAll thoughts gain their power from our believing or not believing them. Of course, that power is given without awareness, […]
This June 2020 hindsight post represents, in symbolic words, the sum and substance of aware living, not with any assumed certainty of ‘knowing’ but with the recognition that these words continue to potently point to that which one IS and invite one to grow and to outgrow any and all conceptual ‘understanding.’ There’s alert […]
[ finding your Being-nature without further delay, dept. ] Aware living is kinda like opening up a new book every day – it’s about life’s constant turning to new, mostly blank pages in every moment. It’s a book that somehow functions as a necessarily vague but serviceable map. This book does not provide an opined […]
Reality – awareness – is immediate, fresh, and vital; it’s not portrayable with symbolic words, but only in the direct recognition of its underlying, non-personal and timeless beingness, which is unseen and unknown – beyond all material description and sentient appearance, aka ‘experience’.One IS this invisible, unattached and alert awareness (noumena) of phenomena as it […]
The gift of awareness, of being aware one is aware, is the supreme gift that never stops giving. 😉 Indeed, to open and directly know one’s self-nature as nothing and everything, is to simply recognize one IS – here and now – unadorned divine awareness appearing as a limited human.There’s nothing to do to unwrap […]
~ Dualizing thought comes from the Problem Maker – the conditioned mind with its MEmory; from the mind-made ‘me’ with ‘my’ cultivated opinions masked as ‘knowledge’ and ‘feelings’ which seem fundamental to personal beliefs that variously, if not completely, comfort our born insecurities to not only survive but to surely assure we will thrive. Of […]
“Awareness takes the place of consciousness; in consciousness, there is the ‘I’, who is conscious, while awareness is undivided; awareness is aware of itself. The ‘I am’ is a thought, while awareness is not a thought; there is no “I am aware” in awareness…one can be aware of being conscious, but not conscious of awareness. […]
Truth is the perception of ‘what is’ without the interpretation of thought or thought interfering with it ~ J Krishnamurti ~ The conditioned mind’s binary and symbolic rendering of a personal, passing, and me-centered ‘reality’ is body-based and the source of delusion and suffering. That which one IS, is absolute, changeless Reality, aka, awareness. Love, […]
The advent of another gigantic statue of Trump perhaps brings a larger perspective to these times we’re living in. Indeed, these events are a call for an aware clarity that arises from attention. And to love and act from there, every day, yes. One needs to be in right relationship, in fidelity to reality; to […]
