There is no way that you are..the sky is not blue!
Most of us spend a large amount of my time thinking about who we are. We think that our personality characteristics and our behaviour and meanings that weâve created from how we appeared in our lives that is who we are. And depending on how we are feeling in any one moment that will determine how we see ourselves.
We can sometimes judge ourselves very harshly and often self hate even emerges and then itâs not a good experience living in that psychologically inspired identity.
If through making bad choices or being run by unconscious urges and compulsions we have made mistakes which we now feel guilty about or shameful of then this also makes living in psychological identity not a happy place.â¨As we grow older the self-made construct of who we get ourselves to be gets more solidified until we really do think that that is who we are.
Typically we will have it that there is something wrong with us due to experiences of childhood traumas that have occurred in our life.â¨Also at the same time we will be thinking that there is something special about us and that in someway we are better than others. This sense of being special balances out the opposite sense of being not good enough.
From early childhood we asked âwho am I?â and the answer came from parents, teachers and from our own often misinformed thinking.Many people settle for this version of themselves and so live most of their lives just above the threshold of conscious suffering.As this identity is housed and generated in a world of thought and is just a construct there is little possibility of real joy, love and peace.
The fact is that the only place you exist is in this now, and present in this Now, there is no way that you are. This means
that where life is actually happening there is no way that you are. For there to be a way that you are you would need to go into memory and conditioning from the past and drag it in to this fresh new now.
Is there a way that the sky is? Does it change, does it accumulate identity as the weather passes through it?
There is no way that the sky is, the sky is separate from its content and it would not be correct to identify the sky with its content. The sky is not blue, that blue is created when the sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colours because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. So we can see that there is no way that the sky is yet it is definitely there.
Likewise our states of consciousness, our changing sense of identity, our thoughts, our feelings and even the drama of our lives can all be considered as weather happening in our sky like awareness.
Who I am must be the constant thing about me which is the witness, the observer, the one who listens to me think, who witnesses my consciousness states yet is unassociated with them and unaffected by them. Just as the sky remains unaffected by all the storms and weather that passes through it. So there is no way that I am,I am a clearing in which all life takes place.
If you have understood what I am saying then it is a thing of great joy because it points to complete freedom.â¨To be in the world of âthere is no way that I amâ is to be spaciousness, clarity, joy and unbounded freedom!
I can stop trying to fix myself, I can stop trying to figure out who I am because now I see there is no way that I am!!â¨Who I am being that I am gives me how I appear to myself but
it is an appearance only and is witnessed.
It becomes clear that I am not the part I play in this lifetime drama just as I am not my body, I am also not my thoughts or the thinker,I am the one that dispassionately witnesses all that happens on all levels in my life, and as such there is no way that I am.
As there is no way that I am, I never change,I do not evolve or get affected in anyway by the experiences that I witness in my life.â¨The realisation that there is no way that I am is a portal to the possibility of being that all there is is love...
The awakening is something incredible it's a wonderful possibility that can occur in anyone's life.
Normally there are three states that we are in, we are either in deep dreamless sleep or we're dreaming or we're awake. Now most people don't think of the waking state as having degrees so you're either awake or you're dreaming or asleep but there is the possibility of looking at it that you can be awake and kind of dreaming you're awake. In other words not fully awake, there are degrees of wakefulness.
What do you experience when you are fully awake that's different from what is normally felt when you're a little bit awake? Most people when they're awake they know they're awake because they can hear themselves think and they see stuff unfold in front of them, when you're fully awake you feel presence, you can feel that energy.
So the awakening is when you come into the fourth state which presents itself initially as the feeling of presence. Presence is when your normal sense of physicality of solidity of your body starts to subtly shift and you realise that actually what you are made of is energy vibrating at different frequencies.Matter is energy.
In meditation many people come into that realisation that actually there is only energy and in that place where there's only energy there is also peace,clarity and selflessness.â¨By accessing Presence eventually a natural process of Awakening can get triggered whereby what it was that one used to identify with, the ego, the persona, the part I played in the movie of my life, starts to shift and then quietness comes above your shoulders.There isn't a sense of a character in there, it goes spacious and it's almost as if the sky reaches down to your shoulders.
As you continue in your attention to presence you become presence rather than having it as an object. Identifying as presence, the psychological self that you were identified as, the broken one, the wounded one, the unintegrated one you realise that that was just a version of yourself that your mind gave you and your mind didn't realise that beyond all that, prior to that, prior to the persona, prior to the psychological self is something absolutely wonderful- your presence. As you are no
longer pouring all your attention into the psychological self it starts to disassemble and great chunks of it just fall away. When we arrive as pure presence we still have the sense that we are an individual entity quietened down, simplified just pure presence emanating, a point of reference and a heart from which the universe is perceived. Then going even more deeply into that there comes a point where even that hub is seen to be a play of consciousness and that dissolves and then all there is a mass of self cognising presence, pure awareness.
The goal is to walk through the door to have the awakening, to see that there's something prior to the personality, to see that there's something before the psychological self, you were before you started to think and develop a sense of who you are as an ego, you were there, you've always been there. You as pure presence do not evolve, it never changes, each time you return to pure presence, to that awakened state it's exactly the same, spacious, clear, peaceful and loving.
The awakening is when you're fully alive, no part is sleeping and then this presence, this moment, any moment regardless of what the circumstances of that moment are, any moment has this luminous quality to it. The heart of any moment regardless of the circumstances is deep, deep, peace. The heart of any moment is this beautiful awakened awareness .â¨You realise I am that which I've been looking at and there is the beautiful awakening and it's endless it has no limit. Even though it's always the same each time you return to it, it's always fresh and we can depend on that, we don't have to plan everything out, we don't have to think everything through, we can rely on our awakeness, we can rely on that pureâ¨presence ,we can rely on life.â¨This is a path of wonder and joy where there's enough clarity and enough space mentally to be able to see the very heaven that is this earth and also to see the incredible opportunity that we have by virtue of the fact we're alive. There is a mass awakening happening, everybody no matter what they do or have done or what ever they believe can be part of it simply because they're alive.
Stages on the path, degrees of realisation, levels of attainment happen within unchanging awareness which is complete in every moment.â¨The Truth is ever present and unchanging Awareness, everything else happens within it and is essentially without any substantiality.
The light of awareness pervades both heavens and hells equally. This is the true Light.â¨The ignorant think that there is light and dark, angels and demons, heaven and hell.There is a light that has an opposite- darkness but the Light of awareness pervades all domains equally and reveals all phenomena as empty of anything substantial.This light is the ground of being everywhere.
When consciousness is united with Awareness, bliss, timelessness and profound peace prevail. Satchitanand.â¨Consciousness is a dynamic expression of awareness and we project it out into all kinds of things and experiences but the fulfilment still alludes us until we place our consciousness onto awareness at which time we feel profound peace and stillness, joy and unconditional love as who we are.Where the mind is quiet the sense of time passing disappears and the eternal unchanging presence prevails.
Sound happens in undisturbable silence, movement happens in unmoving stillness.Form exists in emptiness, chaos arises in cosmic order.â¨The substratum of all phenomenal existence is awareness which is silent and unmoving as the sky. Everything is because of it, nothing is without it.
The gift of consciousness is the power to attend. When attention is payed to Awareness awakening immediately occurs . Then the seeker and the sought become one.â¨Attention is given but where we put it that is up to us. Blessed indeed is the one who is shown or discovers how to place their attention onto Awareness, to unite their consciousness with awareness.This is the end of dualities of subject/object,perceiver and perception.
Freedom is not integrating the psychological self, Freedom is not a meditation state. Freedom is recognising the self as Awareness.â¨There is the minds version of freedom and freedom.When everything removable is removed what remains, the essential ground of being that is boundless freedom, present within every moment.
Are you confusing consciousness and Awareness?
There is an âIâ that experiences consciousness but no âIâ in Awareness.
Consciousness changes, Awareness does not.There are states of consciousness but not states of Awareness. Consciousness is like weather, awareness is the sky.
All the fluctuations in consciousness, thought, mood and life drama happen in unchanging Awareness.You are that.The one who knows this lives peacefully present.â¨This is the ultimate knowledge, the knowing of which, through direct cognition, alone transforms our relationship to thinking and life in general.
Most people spend their lives travelling from birth to death in a continuous dream, identifying as what they do, what they have and what they think. Others seek the self and awaken in pure presence to the timeless moment.â¨Few are those who awaken to the luminous transparency of the Self. Realising themselves as distinct from the part they play, the roles they perform and the thoughts that they think.
Every situation and every moment offers an access to what is.You are never any distance from it. Acknowledge this and immediately it starts to unfold its peaceful presence.â¨Some people think that high is nearer to real than low, but this is not the case.Others think that clarity is a mental state and never achieve it.Knowledge reality is equally near from any where just as in a dream when one wakes one sees it was all equally a dream.
Awareness holds space, awareness came first, space is multiple, the space in a dream the space in a mirror, Awareness is singular..Spacelessness.â¨Many mistakenly think that time and space are the bedrock of invariable reality. Time varies depending where you are, there is place where a thought takes 10 earth years to pass.Infinity between a tick and a tock. When we distinguish awareness we can see it holds space but has no size or shape.The formless takes no space.
Each sense has its own consciousness,â¨When the consciousness of seeing is lifted to Awareness then the
luminescence prevails. When the consciousness of hearing is lifted to Awareness the unstuck sound of pure presence prevails. When the consciousness of the mental sense is so lifted then there are insights,
revelations and realisation.
One who knows the Awareness self enjoys literally every moment, always present he sees less and less difference, living quietly free from commentary.â¨It becomes clear that previously our reality and our self was built by thought and commentary but as awareness dawns we depart the world of name and form.
The intellect is eventually surpassed as the lover of truth enters the field of pure undifferentiated wisdom.â¨Wisdom in the ultimate sense is not conceptual but experiential, one arrives in and dissolves into pure knowingness and perfect clarity.
Discounting all states of consciousness, movements of energy, inner experiences, ânot this, not this â one comes to the true meditation where consciousness is merged into Awareness itself.â¨We come to see that awareness is ungraspable, can not be isolated and is not a thing so anything that appears is not it. By discounting more and more subtle sensations and intuitions we arrive in the stateless state.
Awareness is not peace or light or bliss . This is how consciousness manifests when approaching awareness.â¨Nothing signifies awareness it is quite beyond our grasp,but when our consciousness reunites with it there is light, bliss and we recognise the awareness Self through the sense of consciousness as utter stillness and peace.
Awareness is not of anything.
One is conscious of things, awareness is the all pervading substratum of unassociated isness, and there is noâIâ in awareness that is aware of anything thats the temporary function of consciousness.
There is no âI am âin awareness or âmy awareness.â
This is a clear distinction between dynamic consciousness and awareness which is one mass, a shoreless ocean of inconceivable power, intelligence and love. Awareness generates consciousness for which an âIâ is necessary. We can say âmyâ consciousness but we can not say âmyâ Awareness.
Perception, cognition and reaction are functions of consciousness
The temporary individual entity appears to have these functions which are aspects of consciousness manifesting in the luminous transparency called life.
The sense âI amâ is a phenomenal appearance in consciousness and does not signify that you are.â¨Deep introspection reveals no substantially existing self that is an independent entity immune form change.The atman or divine spark residing in the heart, the source of the sense of being an entity, does not substantially exist. It is a temporary phenomena and it grows and gathers.
Awareness does not perceive, it has consciousness for that.
Because Awareness is, there is perception but it is a function of consciousness and dependant on there being one that perceives.
Awareness is equally present everywhere, always, already.
If we think of a cinema screen the movies are projected upon it and the screen is equally present and so the projection appears as coherent.The screen was there before the movie began, remained the same all the way through and will remain after it ends. Nothing projected on the screen has any effect on the screen itself.
Consciousness fluctuates and changes sometimes disappearing altogether.â¨When we sleep there is no consciousness, no sense of âiâ. We can alter our consciousness states by taking various substances into our body and by various activities. There are no states of awareness it is one.
Awareness is one ,consciousness is two -subject/object.
Consciousness is of something, from something to something but awareness is one self cognising mass.
The Nature of awareness is all around us and itâs glory is inconceivable.
The Nature reflects the wondrous nature of awareness which it is an expression of. Attending to Nature can bring us to awareness.
If consciousness meets awareness it becomes pure and itâs job is done.
When finally after directing our consciousness to every possible thing we direct it to awareness then the realisation of what is and who we are
dawns and consciousness merges back into awareness.
The more shallow the breathing the greater the sense of timelessness.
The breathless, deathless, thoughtless place of the eternal stillness is approached by diminishing breath until we come to a complete standstill.Physical stillness and mental quietude make the breath become shallow and the sense of timelessness unfolds.
When the breath is witnessed and there is no interference it will become more and more shallow until itâs divine motivating principle is revealed. The source of breath, thought and the senseâ I amâ is deep within the Heart follow either back to find it. Liberation is remaining in the Heart.To watch your breath without breathing it is to quiet the mind and gain the greatest sense of being.
Breathlessness is effortless and automatic to one who has collapsed the attention into the heart.â¨Yogis attempt breath retention by using locks and techniques this brings a completely different result from having your breath naturally approach the breathless, deathless and thoughtless place of the heart.
Effort is important until it is realised that effort and result both happen in unchanging awareness which you are. Then effort is effortless.â¨At the core there is always the perfect meditation of the natural state, no effort required to generate that state. The cessation of all action is all thats needed just to be present to what really is behind all states of consciousness and everything else.
Bodily sensations exist in a band width of experience, if you find it and then discount it. Now where are you housed?â¨Its sensations that give us the very convincing idea that we are the body but when we discount that bandwidth of sensation then instantly we are everywhere boundless, formless, vast as the sky.
Have you noticed how in meditation you experience the state, feel the
energy move, practice the technique but who are you?
Until one realises the witness Self one is trying to generate and manipulate various mental states thinking that one is better or more relevant than another. However the Witness is prior to them all and is the portal to Awareness.
Knowing experientially, this is Liberation.
Without direct experience of the Self there will be no transformation and consequently no Liberation. Understanding the teachings of Liberation will not bring Liberation it is only by direct cognition that realisation occurs.
There is a difference between peace of mind and the deep silence of the Heart.
Peace of mind is a mental state and can be attained by many techniques but does not liberate or yield authentic realisation. Liberation comes with the recognition of the Self as Awareness, unassociated and undivided.
Kundalini energy arriving in the crown chakra, opening the 1000 petals, accessing higher realms is not Self realisation.
Whatever happens takes place in unchanging awareness.You are that.Recognising that brings a profound, lasting transformation to the way that life occurs.One may have a profound experience of inner energies rising and after wards be exactly the same. This is also true of experiences generated by âmedicineâ.
Practicing meditation is using techniques,meditating is simply being what is.â¨Practice is a preparation for real meditation which is entirely natural. Techniques become redundant as the Self is recognised. The Natural state is the perfect mediation that yields insight and realisation.
In deep stillness the point of view of the observer dissolves and duality ends, only self cognising Awareness remains.â¨Eventually after being the witness even of meditation states, in deep stillness having returned into the heart cave the duality of subject and object dissolves and all there remains is self cognising awareness,The sheer brilliance of suchness experiencing itself without any observation.
Surrendering means putting down all that can be put down in any moment, arriving at the natural state of perfect being.â¨What seemed impossible becomes possible and even a simple thing to do. In a moment one can cease to identify as the part one is playing with all its baggage and surrender into what is.
Surrendering onesâ point of view, the scope of knowing becomes infinite.Surrendering the psychological self the witness appears, surrendering the witness and there is boundless self cognising awareness.
The more we let go of that which implies a separate self the greater our perception of reality becomes until we get we are that.
Surrendering the psychological self means realising that things donât have to be resolved, you can just put them down.â¨There are those who think that emancipation and happiness are gained by resolving all the issues of the psychological self but although some issues need to be consciously processed the greater part gets resolved naturally as the Self emerges.
Surrendering means completely accepting things as they are and giving up that they should be other than they are.â¨We tend to think that we are unhappy because of circumstances internally or externally but insight shows us that its who we are being that circumstances are that determines how they turn up for us and that altering them makes only a temporary and superficial difference.
Who you are being that you are gives you how you get yourself..
There is no way that you are yet you do appear as if there is and that appearance is given by who you are being that you are.
The wounded child is not a real thing itâs a construct which conflates unresolved issues within the psychological self.â¨Some people relate to this construct almost as if there is a little child
within and they go and talk to it, which is fine for some but realisation comes when we let go of our identification with the psychological self and its contents.
Who the past says I Am is not who I Am. The part I have played in the drama of life is not who I am. There is no possibility of who I am being wounded by anything that ever happened.â¨This is a wonderful thing to realise that the witness is never effected in any way by what it sees. There is a part of us that no trauma ever reached.
Who I think I am is the psychological self, itâs a construct and not who I actually am. There is no fixing it, no one ever did, so just put it down. When you asked your mind who am I? The answer it gave was who you think you are.However fortunately that is not who you are, you are prior to it.The witness.
As long as you believe you are not good enough you wonât be and nothing will work. However it is just an erroneous idea.â¨Ideas that are held and nurtured for a longtime have the habit of turning up as drama proving them right.
States of consciousness, thoughts, emotions and drama in your life, doesnât it all just arise?â¨You donât create the states or think the thoughts do you? For whom does it all arise? Get this and you are freedom itself. Everything has been given but who receives?
Who one thinks one is, who others say one is, who the past says you are, you are none of these.â¨The character that your thoughts, opinions and actions signify is not you either.Deeper than all this is the witness.
Even when you feel broken, no good and damaged by life, this is seen by a deeper you, one unsullied by events and thoughts, pure and full of love.â¨This truth is just so wonderful it shows that essentially you are fine.
The historical you is not who you are, who the past says you are is not you.You are unchanging awareness.â¨You are only, always the presence, no time passes for that one, knowing
no age, birth or death you live untouched by all that happens.
The âIâ in âI amâ does not signify a person but a dynamic of consciousness concentration.
Like a swirl in the Ganga, it arises and passes.The Noble Buddha said âjust because you have the sense âI amâ does not mean that you are!
Taking things personally leads to no end of tedious conversations with yourself.â¨The Persona is invented and maintained by internal dialogue only. Without the memory of all the conclusions you have come to about life and your self where would you be? Freedom itself!
Thinking you know best but offering no evidence. You isolate your self so as not to have to bear any contradiction.â¨A consequence of identifying as ego is often isolation. Also cult members thinking erroneously they have found the only way tend to only hang out with fellow believers they donât want to be confronted.
Identifying as kind and spiritual is not the same as being kind and spiritual.â¨The ego/mind has its own version of kindness which tends to be a kind of virtue signalling with the aim of winning peoples admiration and validation.Acting spiritual is just that, acting.
It is important to be able to distinguish the mind from Self.
The mind talks to itself, the Self is silent knowing, observing the minds machinations and everything else.
The story you tell about your life and the past is just that, a fiction. The story teller has an agenda and can not be trusted as a reliable witness. There is no way that it was, it all depends on perspective.
It is true you canât change the past but you can transform the meaning you gave it.â¨People live in regret thinking whats done is done but the events are over and all that remains is what we made them mean and that we can transform compassionately.
Constantly entertaining internal chatter and commentary you have come
to identify as the thinker.
This is the basic cause of suffering. Who listens to you think?
If you focus on the pointer and not what is pointed to then you miss the point. Unless of course you see that the pointer is what he is pointing to! The danger is that people give up the enquiry into âwho am I?â and fall at the gurus feet thinking knowing and being validated by him is the solution and a pseudo devotion can take over from authentic introspection and realisation stops and years pass.
Knowing and being able to extrapolate on the wisdom of the saints is not the same as having it.â¨The ego mind has this view I understand so I must be enlightened but there is a big difference between understanding and realisation.
As soon as you think you know you leave the path of realisation. As soon as you say âI did it âit stops.â¨Everything is given and just arises in the being saying âI knowâ is what the ego/mind does and it then assumes the false identity of a knower. Saying âI did itâ cuts off the flow of what actually did do it!
That which measures progress and offers internal commentary has no idea. With truth its always all or nothing.â¨The valuator, the characteriser,the commentator always is coming from some agenda and can not be trusted.Truth is not relative.
The non dual view sees only what is and does not divide the world into two.â¨When there are no filters, agendas or preferences one sees everything as self evident.
No one experiences the natural state, some people experience and attain yogic states which are witnessed.â¨It is sometimes called the stateless state and can not be objectified or reified or measured.Certain methods of yogis generate different kinds of states and powers but these are witnessed too.
The distance between you and liberation is given by how far away you
Many believe that their liberation is in some other life but the truth is there is no actual distance in time between you and it.The liberated space is with you right now and always, it might be today you allow this to be your reality.
For something to be real it must be born of something real. The unreal can not create the real.
For something to be real it must not change, evolve or have constituent parts .
For something to be real it must have clearly defined edges not made of molecules.
For something to be real it must be seen the same way by all ,always.
For something to be real it must exist of its own accord completely independent of anything else.
If your happiness is created by circumstance it will not last because all circumstances are constantly changing.â¨The fact that circumstantially derived happiness does not last is one of the reasons why Buddha said life is suffering.
The happiness does not arise from the circumstances but from who you are being that they are.You are the source of your happiness. Circumstances do not emanate feelings, one person sees anothersâ death as miserable and another sees the same death as great, showing that we are the source of what ever feelings arise from circumstances.
This life is like a dream in the sense that it seems to be real but is not. Awakening from a sleep dream one realises all of it was equally unreal. One also realises that the dream was one thing, no element was independent and no element had any substantiality to it even though it seemed to exactly like the appearances in the waking state.
Can you confirm that the main agenda of the persona is looking good to itself and others at all times?â¨This is a shocking realisation when it comes, just how much of our actions and behaviours are motivated by this need to validate and
perpetuate the current version of ourselves.
Virtue signalling is not the same as being devoted or spiritual.Its an act covering an inauthenticity.â¨Until the Self is realised then we mostly act spiritual thinking somehow this is what spiritual is but nothing except a little admiration comes from being this way.âSpiritualâ is not a set of behaviours.
An object appears as a waveform but when observed changes into particle presence.â¨You are playing a part until you self observe then you become presence.This is a truth from Quantum physics that describes the human condition exactly.
A Self realised person would tend not to negate others or think that his way is the only way.â¨Because he knows that who he is being that things are gives him how he gets them and that phenomena have no fixed or real identity.
Being in presence exposes what one would rather not accept about oneself, selfishness, judgementalness and other unseemly aspects. Eventually one exhibits the qualities of presence, joy, kindness humility and love.
There is no way that life is except the one that confirms who you are being that it is.â¨Life occurs uniquely for each being and there is no way that it is.
Not everything in this life is rational, logical or explainable.
The benefits of taking a bath in the Ganga or Love are good examples.
Two carnal eyes see what appears to be but is not but the inner eye sees what is both within and with out and in every moment. There is more than one kind of vision and when that inner vision is happening the spectrum of perception expands.
Some people are naturally kind, the rest of us have to work on it
And work on it we must or we will become cantankerous and cynical in our old age.
Understanding is of the intellect and opens the possibility of realisation
which is direct experience of what is prior to thought.
There is a distinction between understanding and realisationâ¨What the intellect knows and deduces can be lost and forgotten but what is realised by direct experience becomes who you are.
The intellect is eventually surpassed as the lover of truth enters the field of pure undifferentiated wisdom.â¨In that place no thoughts pass as there is only awakeness.Wisdom is direct experience of what is, all concepts and notions are redundant.
A loving relationship is quite rare most people are involved in psychological entanglements of one kind or another.â¨As long as we are identifying as the psychological self or who we think we are then it is most likely we will attract and live out psychologically based relationships.Many confuse psychological entanglement for relationship. Real love causes no pain.
Identifying as spiritual or as a devotee is optional and has nothing to do with self realisation although for some it might appear that way.
What is truly is spiritual is flowing as the Self, acting spiritual and virtue signalling is just trying to get people to validate your new version of your self.
When sleep dreaming, the dreamer, the dreaming and the contents of the dream are one and the same.â¨It is the same upon awakening. Are we dreaming we are awake or awake dreaming?
If you want to save a moment be fully present in it. This is a secret teaching of the Awakened ones.â¨At the end of life in the place of integration after death what was experienced as a dream fades into oblivion but moments of presence are saved.Few know this truth.
The psychological self is not who we are but who we think we are.
We ignore what is confronting and accentuate what is good about us and project that into the world as us hoping others will believe it. We range from thinking we are somehow broken to thinking we are special!
First humility then greatness.
Everyone has the possibility of greatness which is not a quality of ego
but the consequence of moving as the Self.
Knowledge is distinct from Knowingness.
There is knowledge of something but knowingness is the feeling of being in omniscience and is direct experience unsupported by concepts or thought.
Those who seek just for themselves get off to a good start but soon fall away.â¨Those with even a little altruistic intent to their seeking get all the help they need, those who are practising to generate happiness and peace for themselves tend to fall away.
The seeker becomes the finder who dissolves in the finding.
After finding no one remains. The ego never finds. The studier never realises.
The minor mysteries are manifold but the major mystery is one. Beings can spend lifetimes wondering in the mystery maze until finally
the Awareness is realised.The greatest mystery is Love, minor mysteries are reincarnation,karma, siddhi powers,kundalini,chakras etc.
The price of completion is forgiveness of your self and all others. Knowing that if you had experienced their causes and conditions you
would have done exactly the same.
Acts of random kindness are powerful.
If you do something genuinely kind with no hidden agenda to benefit yourself, you will find that your gesture has extraordinary results.Kindness is the antidote to the toxicity of self cherishing selfishness. Selflessness is the quality of one being run by love.
Karma does not exist, it is not a thing.â¨It is a designation given to apparent links between one thing happening and another.â¨It is a conceptual superimposition on inconceivable causality.
There is no such thing as âGod testing meâ.â¨This is a man made designation which tries to give meaning to events
which actually have none.
The core of every state is the same.
All the waking states, dream states and deep sleep happen in unchanging Awareness. Those who donât know this from direct experience are still dreaming they are awake.
No one state of consciousness is any more real than any other.â¨They all begin and end and have their being in Awareness.A high state
of consciousness is no more than a low state and reality is equidistant to them both.
The feeling of life is the only real thing there is.
Everything else exists as insubstantial appearance only.Just like how the objects appearing in a sleep dream are seen to have no real existence upon awakening.
Rejoin the global ecosystem energetically, experientially and actually.
We do this by coming into The Presence of what is now and seeing how it is boundless and all pervading.The entire creation is in this now vibrating life.We are not separate from it we are part of it.
Once we start to stabilise as this Presence the illusion is naturally exposed and transcended.â¨The illusion is what seemed to be real but is not.
Magick only works when conjured from the level of Gnosis.
The manipulation of energies and circumstances can only happen when the illusion is clearly seen.
New gifts,powers and extraordinary capabilities arise naturally upon Awakening.
Choices can reconfigure how Presence expresses through a being.
Keep softening your heart melting into what is until you find the Self as a field of Love.â¨Perhaps the greatest secret of all is that The Unified Filed is love, love unconditional and Universal.
Behind the field of atoms and particles is what?
At the moment after the Big Bang space unfolded into what? Can you see where space is housed? Space is not Reality.
The opened third eye can see where space is housed,particles dancing inside and out.â¨It sees the luminosity that is the ground of being and it sees all the lights.This view shows that the seer, the seeing and the seen are one and the same.
The third eye can generate a beam of attention that focuses light particles.
It can be focused on inner points or outer ones. Immediately upon paying attention one becomes present.Extraordinary powers or siddhis are said to manifest when this beam of attention is placed on different objects.
Becoming present means by self observation to collapse the waveform and come into particle presence consciously.â¨There are two modes of appearance as a waveform or as particle presence this is what Quantum reality suggests and the mystic knows directly, as soon as one self observes presence unfolds and there is peace,clarity and the luminosity that is the ground of being shines forth.
When one sits still and softens the heart each breath can be experienced as a blessing of love. Happening to a lover in a field of Love.â¨This is the ultimate position for a human, the point where the unified field of energy is felt as unconditional love, the breath itself is love all around is love!
How to open a moment.â¨Choose to stop thinking for a moment let everything be just exactly as it is, do nothing donât manipulate consciousness, donât practice any technique just let be what is. As soon as you drop in a moment opened. The moment remains open as long as you are present in it. Into the open moment the truth rushes peace becomes more and more blatant, joy and clarity unfold.
Most people spend their whole lives trying to improve their circumstances. The wise one develops immunity to circumstance and gains a stable happiness from within.â¨That immunity is developed by realising that the circumstances are empty and emanate nothing, who I am being that they are gives me how I get them.
When, for a moment we drop everything that we cling to we float without form weightless in the now.â¨This is the sweetest freedom and the realisation that the psychological self can simply be put down is life changing.
Let everything be to the point where you stop inventing meanings and narratives.â¨This is the beautiful simplicity. This is the great challenge to let life speak for itself and stop interpreting and inventing stories..
When you are not there you can see things and people as they are. When you are there your vision is corrupted by your ideas, preconceptions and other biases.â¨Every action reaches perfection when you are not there interfering but simply observing, this includes seeing things as they are.
Get over yourself by realising there is no way that you are.
So much anxiety created by trying to figure out how and who we are and then it dawns âthere is no way we are!âThe only place you actually exist is now and if you look now you will see there is no way that you are. You are a clearing for all appearance.
Donât wait for your ideal set of circumstances to turn up before you allow yourself to be happy.â¨The truth is you can be happy whilst standing in deep sh.t!
You are responsible for how you get others. I am not responsible for how you get me.â¨As there is no way that others are how you get them is given by who you are being that they are and your responsibility.
There are many books that are vaguely similar to Secrets of Silence, the great works of Eckart Tolle, the teaching of Ramana Maharshi for example. I have not read many books on the subject so you are probably more informed than me .
What is different with my book is that it is the product of my unique journey and has the benefit of being honed by innumerable individual and group sessions. I know that my presentation of the Self and the Awakening works because I have seen it again and again.
There are elements in Secret of Silence that are not to be found anywhere else âwho you are being that something is gives you how you get itâ and all that comes from that view I have not seen any where else except perhaps in the writings of Werner Erhardt and Heidegger.
I have had one focus since his teens- the realisation of the Self. He has been fortunate enough to receive teachings, initiations and empowerments from some of the greatest living masters. H.H XIV Dalai Lama, 16th &17th Karmapaâs, Prem Rawat Maharaj, Moojibaba, Krisnamurti and Goenka Ji.I have been quietly teaching individuals and groups for many years pointing to the Self and offering a new way to deal with issues that arise from life.I have been visited by royalty,celebrities and thousands of people.
I have written 2 other books The Dance of the Seven Veils and How to Let Love Win! I have had buy own TV show on cable TV in New York and lead hundreds of deep transformation workshops.
I am currently preparing an ambitious world tour taking a two day event called The Awakening on the road.
