Remaining in Presence

Can you remain in curiosity, openness, acceptance and love when you are triggered? This will be the biggest test for enlightenment. 

Becoming Vast

You can only expand and become vast and spacious when you recognise, accept and lovingly embrace the smallness within you.  

Freedom

When you realise you are bigger than your fears and desires, you become truly free. 

Presence: the Remedy of Unconsciousness

 The lust that consumes is no different to the anger that consumes, is no different to the hate that consumes, the obsession that consumes, the judgement that consumes. All take one into deep unconsciousness. Your awareness, not your suppression is what is required to guide you back to freedom. Nothing else can - all else sustains a dysfunction whose remedy is only presence. 

Blindness: Important First Step

Being blind and then becoming aware of the blindness is an important step in human evolution. One cannot really see until they truly see their own blindness. Thus blindness is an important first step, which is already inherent and intrinsic in humanity. 

When We Fail to See the Wound

 When we fail to see the wound in ourselves and others that causes fear, anger, hatred on the surface but deep down it is actual hurt, or safety is compromised, then we just simply perpetuate violence within and without. Look beyond the surface of the behaviour and understand the cause. Then treat it from there. You realise the only true remedy is acceptance, kindness and compassion. 

Realisation of the Insane Human Mind

The insanity of the human mind can only be realised through being present with the breath and body. Only from that perspective can this insanity be realised. 

Declaration of Truth is the Path to Freedom

 When you declare truth, not opinion, you gain direct access to freedom and peace.

Even if it is the declaration of the fact that your mind is experiencing an angry thought, the declaration that you are physiologically experiencing rage, your mind is noisy, you are feeling lost. As long as the truth is fully embraced and not resisted, freedom is a byproduct of this declaration and simultaneous acceptance of the truth of the matter. 

The Gift of Being Another

The gift of putting yourself in the shoes of another allows you to also understand your own weaknesses. The gift of understanding your own weaknesses allows you to understand the weaknesses of another. 

The Kind Ego

The ego can cleverly disguise itself as kindness, trying to look “good” in front of others, to enhance its own image. Watch and watch carefully the clever ego that tries to enhance its image to be liked, to be respected. The moment you witness it, you are freed from it. 

We All Carry

We all carry a wounded child within, who once felt abandoned, unloved, unappreciated. Be kind to that child, notice it each time anger arises, hurt arises. The only one who can heal that part of you, is you. 

Every Situation

Every situation can teach us about our attachments to wanting things to be a certain way rather than the way it actually is.

Ego Problems

None of ego’s problems can be solved at the level of the mind. But all ego’s problems can be solved at the level of presence. 

Blind to the Blindness of Others

When you are blind to the blindness of others, you perpetuate suffering. 

When you awaken to this, you break the cycle and return to peace. 

Thought & Truth

 “I am thinking about…” is always one step closer to reality than the thought itself. 

Evil is Created in Judgment

 Evil is what we create when we simply judge the behaviour without understanding the cause. 

Your Mind

You won't have to believe whatever your mind thinks - much of it is biased, incomplete stories conditioned by the environment and your past. By other people's limited perspective and beliefs. 

Observing Haste

 The ability to observe haste is more important than being productive. 

Every thought

Every thought is one step away from reality and every conscious breath, one step closer to reality. 

Observe To Become Free

 The mere act of observation is enough to free you from the shackles of the mind and return you home.
