Humans

 Humans have the capacity to rise above hatred and fear, prejudice and pride. We have the capacity to live and operate form love, peace and joy. We have the ability to create a healthy world for all being - human and otherwise. 

When Consumed By Thoughts...

 When consumed by thought, move into the body. Ask yourself what am I feeling inside, and where am I feeling it? When another is consumed by thought, guide them into their body through inquiry. “How are you feeling? Where are you feeling it?” Be with their feelings. In that way you have opened up space for what is, the emotions that exist, without the need to deny or change. True empathy and compassion exists in this space. 

Nothing to Turn Away From

 There is nothing to turn away from - only to lean in and embrace. Notice your resistance. Resistance to others' judgements and complaints, to others "wrongdoings", to your own flaws and the flaws of the world, strong emotions arising and passing away. Be still, and let the waves pass by. You are already complete.

Embracing Absolute Imperfection

When you and I accept our absolute imperfection, we drop the violence we wage against ourselves and one another. Love and peace will then be our natural state. 

The Delusion of the Human Mind

The delusion of the human mind is the belief that once it achieves a certain goal or arrives at a certain place, it will finally be free from all problems. Yet even in the most ideal place, new problems arise. And with every attainment comes the fear of losing what can be lost.

True freedom may not come from securing a perfect life, but from fully accepting the impermanence of all things and all forms.

In this freedom, we appreciate things as they arise and are willing to let go when they pass, embracing the full spectrum of human existence and the agony and the ecstacy of human existence. 

Masked By Form

When your obsessions, fears, desires, regrets, envy, judgements, and worries mask the Spirit of the Infinite within you, you feel lost and small, you suffer. Return Home through the power of your presence and rediscover who you truly are beyond the veil of the mind. There you feel whole, complete and perfect. What you truly are. 

Detecting The Ego

You can detect how active the ego is by checking the depth and ease of your breathing and any tension in your body. If it is active, the breath becomes shallow and the body will become tense. When inactive (dormant), the breath is natural and free flowing. To rise above an active ego, simply play close attention to your breath and body. The ego will be disempowered and return to it's dormant state. 

It is Easy to Love and Hate

It is easy to love as much as it is easy to hate. 

You can hate through one judgement that cuts you from this moment in whatever form in manifests and love by dropping that judgemnet. Love requires nothing to add - only to drop, to shed away the layers of judgement and that obstructed the natural flow of love in all creation - including You. 

When We Judge

 When we judge we are expecting perfection in form - we forget the form is intrinsically imperfect. Simultanously we lose sight of the hidden perfection in any form - conceiled by form but revealed thorugh absolute attention and dropping judgement. 

What Hate and Judgement Does

Judgement and hate disrupts the natural energy flow of life within the framework of your own body and breath. They distrubt the energy flow, the ease, the peace, the love that is otherwise naturally available to you. Come back home. Return to Me. 

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. 

A Step Closer to Truth

 One step closer to God (Truth) is one step away from the mind's judgment and one step closer to the mind's judgment is one step away from Divine Presence (Truth). 

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. 

The Pain of this World

The Pain of this World

The Trauma

The Fear

Has cast a heavy veil on our hearts 

From seeing clearly 

The humanity in others

And The sacredness that underlies all of  creation 

The Effect

Hatred and Violence, harsh judgment, blame and shame - all of which which perpetuates the Evil that lives 

In Us All. 

How do we cast away this veil, this evil, from our hearts?

We breath, we observe, we notice,

The darkness, the evil, with our own loving presence 

We bring in the light and cast away this darkness 

From our hearts 

And Return Home 

To Peace.

To Love. 

To God. 

The Infinite Unseen

The infinite unseen is more real, than all that can be seen. 

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. 

When You Notice Yourself Blaming

When you begin to see yourself blaming the behaviour, you have forgotten the cause. 

When you become aware of the cause, you begin to see the true remedy. 

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. 

The Violence We Cause Ourselves and Others

The cause of all violence we cause ourselves, others and the planet is caused by the lack of awareness and understanding which also leads to the fight against reality.

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. 

Judging Behaviour vs Treating the Cause

The best you can get by judging or punishing "bad" behaviour or mixing identity with bad behaviour is a sense of shame, which does not lead to sustainable wellbeing or sustainable outcomes. 

What works better is to address the underlying causes, resolve issues at their root cause and lead with compassion - this is aligned with sustainability and wellbeing. 

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.

Every Event

Every event that takes place in the universe is occurring  for the evolution of the entire universe and not just for the evolution of the entities involved. 

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. 

The Cause of Suffering

It’s really never about the others’ behaviour and all about our expectations of others behaving a certain way that causes us the most amount of suffering. 

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. 

We Are the Evolution

Life will use you to evolve the other, and the other to evolve you. 

Life will use all of us for the evolution of humanity, the planet, and existence. 

The Rise of Anger & Compassion

Anger can only arise when we judge an action without deeply understanding the root cause. When you understand the root cause the only natural response is compassion. 

The Victim and the Perpetrator

The victim when gained strength can become the perpetrator if their wounds are not healed. They will operate from fear and they would want to instil fear or cause hurt in the "other".

Realisation of Source of Anger

 When we realise that much of the anger there is in the world comes out of one of these three

1) Not feeling belonging (love)

2) Feeling disrespected (respect)

3) Not feeling valued (significance)

We can ask ourselves, how and why has this been perceived this way and what can I do about it. We can take responsibility for our part even when others will ultimately perceive things the way they do. 

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. 

Even If We Receive Everything

 Even when we receive everything we could ever wish for, new problems and challenges arise. Imperfection, impermanence, change, loss, attachment, grief, are all part of the world in whatever shape it manifests itself. 

They can’t see you

Ego is the Human blindness of not seeing the other as part of you. 

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. 

Human Limitations

From farting to forgetfulness - that which brings shame and inconvenient truth. We are flawed yet also complete whole and perfect - not in form, but in essence - in God. 

Observe To Become Free

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

The Mind Seeks

The mind keeps seeking 

An optimized solution to the highest comfort and pleasure

so regrets the past or worries about a future that does not meet this ideal

The Mind Loves Seeking

The mind loves to seek, but it never really finds what it is looking for. 

Be with Thoughts or Be with God

You can either be with your thoughts or be with God, but not both. 

Heal Now

 What happened to you yesterday has nothing to do with your healing right now.

Light onto Darkness

Shine the light of love onto hate and pain to transform darkness into light. 

Custodian: Transcending Pride into Gratitude

 When you have no pride as you take no ownership of what has been bestowed upon you and instead have gratitude to be a custodian, you are free - you are neither enslaved by form nor masters of it. You are the custodian of what is in your procession for a period of time. 

How You Are With Yourself

What you are ashamed of in yourself, you would despite it in others, what you can accept and forgive in yourself, you can accept and forgive in others. Negativity can be perpetuated within yourself and others. 

Prejudice

People either become proud of or ashamed of their prejudice. This is because they identify with prejudice rather than seeing it as a condition of the human mind, and nothing more. When it is acknowledged and dis-identified with, it loses its power and one is able to rise above prejudice. 

Nothing to Defend

There is ultimately nothing to defend, as everything comes and everything goes. 

When You Bring Love

When you bring love to every moment, to every situation, to every darkness, to every corner, joy springs from the depths of your being. You are free. You are one with life - one with the Eternal. 

The Gift of the Vessel

 What a gift it is to be the vessel of Truth - to serve, to give, to transform. No wealth of this world can match this honour. No titles, no recognition, no worldly experience can match the sovereignty of the servant when humbled before the master - when subservient to the Eternal. 

Judgment : The Only Obstacle To Love & Peace

 Judgment is the only obstacle to love and peace. Without it love and peace are your natural state. Wellbeing is your natural state. 

You vs The Mind: Truth vs Survival

 You are designed for truth, the mind is designed for survival. The mind will never truly understand the practice of presence and surrender, even when it benefits from it. But you can understand it. At the level of pure presence, pure consciousness, presence and surrender make perfect sense. 

The Root of All World's Societal Problems

Give me one societal problem and I'll help you root it back to one thing: lack of awareness and understanding of the human condition. 

The Witness

The moment you can notice what is, you begin to align with truth, with reality. 

When Leaders Rise

When a leader rises for a cause beyond self, in most cases they are also ready to die for that cause.

Balancing the Forces

Because the weight and pull of the world is so great, your presence with God must equally be great to balance out this force and return you to peace. Intense continuous presence is needed to balance this strong pull from the world - so that as Jesus puts it you can be “in the world but not of it”. 

Be Deeply Present

 Unless you have a deep presence with God, you may suffer deeply. 

Letting Go of Judgment: Path to Freedom

When you realise that the nature of the mind is to judge and that mine, yours and all other human being’s minds will continue to judge, then you can simply let go of the need to achieve a state where judgement doesn’t happen. That your folks, friends, enemies will not create stories of you - that some will like you and some won’t. Some like you some of the time and not other times. You become free from the need to be liked all the time by all people. You enter freedom. You can just be you and allow judgments (yours and others) to arise and pass. It's just thoughts afterall. Nothing more.  

Tension in the Body

Tension in the body is a reflection of some resistance to reality - a denial of the now. Even anxiety of the imagined future is a reflection of resistance to the natural state of uncertainty, right now. 

Who Are You if You Are Not What You Have?

You cannot be what you have, so who are you if you are not your mind and you are not your body?

When You Take the Wrong Turn

Whether you took the wrong turn, or took the wrong action that resulted in an undesired outcome, it is only acceptance that can return you to peace. Nothing else can and nothing else will. 

The Quickest Way

The quickest way to enslave oneself is to harbour expectations. Expectations of yourself, others or the world to be a certain way for you to be well, to be happy. This unconscious belief that is often misaligned with reality is the single source of all human suffering and one that can be transcended in an instance through awareness. 

Becoming Angry

 It takes just one moment of unconsciousness to become angry. When presence is lost, the mind takes over.  

The Breath of Remembrance

No breath is possible without God, and it only takes one conscious breath to remember God. 

Be As Angry As You Are

Be as angry as you are, be as jealous, frustrated, lustful, but then be able to observe this with kindness so that you transcend and rise to your Lord. Be still, 

When You Expect Love and Attention from Others

When You Expect kindness and Attention from Others

It means you are not being kind and attentive enough to yourself. When you allow enough attention and love towards yourself, you no longer need it from others, though instead you can appreciate it. 

Identify Your Self-Resentment and Heal Yourself

Often you may have resentment towards yourself for doing something you wish you hadn’t. It could be looking foolish, needy, too nice, too cruel. Whatever it is, find it and bring loving kindness to that feeling, bring forgiveness- unconditional and unconditioned forgiveness. Heal yourself and transcend. You can then extend this loving kindness towards others who exhibit similar behaviours. Be kind towards your resentment and you shall reap the rewards of love and peace - unconditional and unconditioned.

Repeated Mistakes? Still Forgive and Commit to Growth

Have you made the same mistake again and again and beat yourself up over it? Stop. Forgive yourself, and then commit to learning and growth. Your forgiveness puts you in a better position for change than does your guilt. Bring love and forgiveness towards yourself. And make sure you do the same for others. 

Observe through the Lens of Evolution

Can you observe everything through the lens of evolution? Every moment is a moment that enables the pathway to evolution. If you see every moment and every event as a way to evolve, from self, society and the world, how would you respond to every moment?

Byproduct of a Caring Mindset

 A caring mindset naturally wants to take care, not out of fear but out of love.

Don’t patch your heart

Don’t patch your heart with a bandaid relationship. Return to God true real healing. Anything else is a waste of time. 

The Illusion of Hope

 We often buy into the illusion of hope and hope does give us, intrinsically, hope, a positive psychological state that helps us get through difficulties in hope of things getting better. 

Although things may get better, they may also not get better, so what would be more powerful than hope, is acceptance of the what is - the current situation as is, and in every moment. This state of acceptance does not rely on any future state of “better” as it is inherently making peace with the present moment. This far more powerful than the hope of a better future and returns us to a state of inner peace and wellbeing. Non-resistance to the reality of the present moment regardless of things will turn out in some future moment. 

Cause of Perpetuating Dysfunction

Perpetuation of disfunction is often a result of guilt / feeling bad about past dysfunction and as a result of this negative state using maladaptive behavior to perpetuate dysfunction. If one applies self-compassion and self-forgiveness to past dysfunction, one can more easily break the cycle of dysfunction and commit to better lifestyle behaviors. 

Freedom

Unless you accept all possibilities you can never be truly free, only deluded.

Every Possibility has to be Realised

If every possibility has to be realised, then whatever you are experiencing is a possibility that had to be realised in this world or another, no matter how small the chance. The only thing to be done is to confront and deal with the situation effectively. 

The Wrath of Expectations

How can you be free if you are burdened by expectations from others to be the way you want them to be rather than the way they are? Wanting them to be more respectful, kind, loving, attentive, or whatever it is that you believe they lack? Free yourself of expectations so you can enter the freedom that only comes from letting go of wanting others and the world to be the way your mind wants it to be. 

The Mind's Game for More

 Often we may lose ourselves in imagination and memories, wanting things to be a certain way, rather the way it is - wanting to have done things differently. The mind loves to maximise pleasure and minimise pain - thus this game it relentlessly plays. It wants to control. It does not ceases. But the moment you observe the mind's constant struggle for more, or for better, it loses it's power over you - it only takes a moment of presence to notice, non-judgementally and create space for the relentless mind. Peace arises from this act along.

When the Joy You Experience

When the you experience is not from what happened or did not happen but because of your own presence with the Divine, you experience true and sustained contentment. You are free from the shackles of material life. In its place you are connected with life, itself. 

Make Peace with Reality

One of the biggest challenges we have in life is making peace with reality, with what is, with what is not, and with the unknown. We create a world of suffering by not accepting one of these three. What would be the result of making peace with all three aspects of this very moment? 

I See You

I see you my dear one.

Return to me

Where you have gone is only suffering

Seeking, waiting and wanting.

Return home. 

Where you truly belong.

In My Presence.

Always Begin with Self-Respect

 Always begin with self-respect. Respecting the divinity within you is the first place to begin as it is the foundation for integrity and dignity. Next comes self-love, in fact the self-love emerges naturally from self-respect. If this is done well you will also then be able to authentically respect and love others as a consequence of self-respect and self-love. You will also see yourself in others and see others simply an extension of you. 

Believing vs Being

Cultivate Presence so that you can be with God, rather than believe in God - which is just a bundle of thoughts about God, rather than the deep experience of the Divine within every cell and atom of your body, right now. 

Teach Your Children to Be with God

Teach your children to be with God, so that they can experience the deep peace and joy that is always available to them, even when they feel lonely or sad.

The Master Speaks

I am the choicemaker, and you are the servant

Surrender to me, for I am the cause of all things

You emanate from me and to me is your return

Drop the illusion of control and surrender

In that surrender you will discover 

The uncaused love and peace

That has been waiting for you

All along.

Return to me and remain in my Presence.

Be still so that you will know

Your true essence.

Every sign is a hint that I am.

Everything can be lost

 Everything can be lost, but God remains. 

Be Clear about Your Intentions and Goals

 Before taking any action, take time to reflect on your intention as to why you are taking this action. Be it engaging in a business partnership with an individual or organisation, selecting a partner, or any other actions that impact your and the lives of others, before taking that action, take time to write down your intention and expectations for such actions and engagements. This ensures your intentions are mutually beneficial and are not stemming from inadequacy and not feeling enough. 

Intrinsic Value & Self-Worth

If self-worth is dependent on external validation, then it will always be on shaky grounds. If it instead comes from a deep seated realisation of the inherent infinite value of every component of existence, then self-worth is built on a foundation that unshaken by any external circumstances. 

Compassion Not Condemnation For Addiction

Demonising addiction is counterproductive and exasperates the situation. It causes individuals to feel isolated and disconnected and hinders effective management. Compassion, not condemnation, paves the way for recovery by breaking the cycle of stigma and shame surrounding addiction. Addiction is just a deeply engrained habit that can be reversed through proper support.

Be Kind to Your Body

Be kind to your body. Your body is like a sacred temple. What you place inside it impacts it in positive and negative ways. The closer to are to your body the more you recognise how to treat it with kindness. Cultivate the habit of inhabiting your body throughout your day so that the wisdom of the body can speak to you. 

Evolution of Humanity & Creation

Everything that is, the way you are, others are, and the world, the universe is, is exactly the way it needs to be at the current level of consciousness (awareness or blindness) for the ultimate evolution of the individual (such as you or another), humanity and creation. When you trust that everything is exactly as it needs to be, you forgo resistance - you cease fighting reality and instead acknowledge, accept, align, and work with what is, rather than against it. The state of engagement is through a sense of deep peace and harmony rather than an anxious attempt at changing yourself, others or the world. 

When You Lost Presence

When you lose presence, you are stuck in your head having a dialogue with the mental concept of someone, rather than that person. You are lost in a story you create. Nothing there is real. Notice and return to Presence. 

Return to Presence

 It only takes a moment to lose your presence with the Divine. But it also takes one moment, a conscious breath, to return to Divine Presence. 

Deep Presence with God

 Unless you have deep presence with God, you may suffer deeply. 

At Every Moment

At every moment you can ask yourself, am I in Divine Presence, or have I left Divine Presence? Lost in thoughts, emotions - any pain, frustration, anger, is a sign that you have left Presence. And it only takes one breath to return again. So use your breath to return again. 

Deep Belief and Delusion

Deeply believing in something that is untrue, will blind you to the truth. 

Remain sceptical of your knowledge. Your doubt and curiosity is an opening to insight on truth. 

The Root of Bias, Prejudice and Bitterness

The root of all prejudice, bias, and bitterness is either a lack of awareness and understanding of truth or a forgetfulness of it.

Unmasking the Ego

 Is your ego hiding behind your “niceness” or your “compassion”?

Observe it. Notice it. You don’t need to fight it off or deny it. Simply accept that it is there. Observe it with intense presence and awareness.
Create a non-judgmental space to hold it with acceptance.

Rise Above Your Personality

Rise above your personality - be the still presence, awareness, observer, of what is surmounting your condition. That stillness is the same stillness in all that there is, it is your essence but also the essence of all things. You will find the Master in that space.

At Every Moment

At every moment I’m coming into the vicinity of the most precious being in existence. Be present. 

Hold Space for Whatever is

Hold space for whatever is. Hold space for reality. Hold space for death. For grievances. For sorrows. For loss.

Law of Attachment

 The human mind can only be attached to what can be (ultimately) lost. It never attaches itself to what cannot be lost. That which cannot be lost is at the essence of creation, of life. It is always there. This realisation is enough to recognise the reality of the mind and of life.

Everything

 Everything has everything to do with either everything or nothing. There is nothing in between as everything is wholly interconnected. Separation is complete illusion. 

When You Recognise Your Deep Need in God

When you recognise your deep need in God, you losen your psychological need for anything outside of you. 

Knowing Our Ultimate Fate

 Knowing that we are all going to die (in form), how do you choose to live your life?

Everything Happening For You and For All

What if everything that is happening in your life and the lives of others, all events, all phenomena is happening for you, others, humanity, the world, the universe for it's continual evolution? How would that change the way you think about the past, present and future? About all events that took place throughout the history of the universe, humanity, and you?

Wage Love Not War

When you see people wage war against humanity and the planet, you instead wage love. 

Love is the only antidote. The only remedy to breaking the cycle of violence and retribution. 

When Life is Good

 Life is good, when you're with God.

Everything Under the Sun

Everything under the sun will one day be gone. And so will the sun. 

The Ego's Endless Thirst for More

The ego's natural state is more or better. It never ends. When you fully accept the nature of the ego (mind) and simply rise above this constant striving, you'll find peace once again. 

Being "Somebody"

 Being "somebody" cuts us off from everybody. 

Returning to God

Each moment you judge another, be it a person, a group, the government, yourself, you are taken away from God. Let go and return to God again each moment you see your mind judging. 

All is Well

 All is well not because it is going my way, but God's will. 

Your Mind

Your mind may want to take you away from God, but your breath can always bring you back. 

Using Every Opportunity to Return to God

 We can use every opportunity to return to Divine Presence. Use every moment of life to return to God - the pain, the suffering, the obsession, the lust, the agony, the jealousy, everything can point us back to God. Use it. Return again and again, and remain here for as long as you can. 

Either help or not harm

 If you cannot help, don't harm. 

Peace

Outer peace can only manifest when we cultivate inner peace. There is no other path to external peace in our world. 

All that is Love

All that is Love

That comes from me 

Comes from God

The Human Mind's Business

 The human mind is constantly in the business of increasing its utility, pleasure and minimising its pain. It it's limitless pursuit, it create more suffering for itself and the world. 

A New Form of Power

 A new form of power arises when you no longer need people's love, attention or respect. It is a power of being your true authentic self, and being complete and whole as you are. You can then operate from a place of love and service. 

I am the Cause and the Solution

I am the root of all world's problems.

I am also the solution. 

Being Kind without Expectations

Deep freedom arises when you can be kind without expecting kindness in return. 

Kindness out of Connection to Life

When you are connected to Life, to the Universe, kindness is natural and unconditional. Otherwise kindness is inauthentic and often has a hidden agenda. 

The Magic Happens When

 The magic happens when you feel deep compassion and love for even those who you once despised. 

Contemplation on Mortality

Contemplate on the morality of yourself and of others, and you’ll realize how pervious life is, and how compassion and grace are the what matters most.

When You Stop Fighting the World

When you cease fighting the world, you make peace with reality. Reality returns peace back onto you. 

At Any Moment You Can Either Choose Love or Fear

 An any moment you can choose love, or you can choose fear. You cannot choose both simultaneously. One is about survival. The other, service. You can't be in both modes.

Cause of Most Suffering

Most suffering arises from a mental concept of something or someone and your attachment and repulsion towards that mental concept.

When We Reduce Others

We often reduce human being to their opinions, beliefs, mistakes and shortcomings, we forget their humanity and their hurts. We blame, shame and criticise them, make them small, insignificant, and sometimes even dehumanise them, and make them the enemy. Our thoughts and beliefs take over our essence, our presence, and so we create misery for ourselves and our world. 

When We Believe We Are Better...

Whenever we believe we are better than others, we will never be able to accept or make peace with them. We will never have true relationships. Only transactional ones. 

Patience with Impatience

 Learn to become patient with your own impatience. Instead of trying to be patient, simply create space with your own impatience. Be compassionate to impatience. Be kind. Then you soon realise that impatience fades away in it's own time, in it's own way - without any force or effort. All it requires is your kind attention and space for it to be, as it is. 

Everything is Beautiful

Everything is beautiful not because it meets your ego’s expectations. But because it is God’s Will. 

Only when you surrender to that reality - is when you see the beauty and enter gratitude. 

The Highest Form of Existence

 Is when you can love even those who put a blade through you

Here your love is unconditional, pervasive and expansive

You are fully connected to Source. You are consumed in God.

The freedom, the peace, the joy, the love comes form the Infinite.

You have fully risen above the game of survival.

This is the highest form of existence. 

You have become nothing.

And hence, everything. 

When you are present...

The gentle movement of the leaves are soothing

The dance of dust is the air 

The gentle breeze

The sun's rays 

The aroma

The sensations of the cloth on your skin

Everything is perfect and complete

Beautiful and mesmerising

This is the joy 

or presence.

I am...

Move from the wrath of I am good and I am bad into I am... 

Recognise your true essence beyond labels. 

Peace Beyond Perspectives

Real peace arises when we come to a place where we neither need to attack other's perspectives nor defend our own perspectives. We discover our identity beyond beliefs and perspectives - which is the same identity we all carry with us. 

Sustained Peace

All sustained inner peace arises from presence, not circumstance. 

Why Resist What Is?

Why resist what is, when what is, is exactly God's Will.

Why resist God's Will, when God's Will is exactly, what is.

Surrendering to "what is" (God's Will), returns you to your natural state - inner peace - which is in fact the natural state of the universe. 

In contrast, resistance places you in the state of suffering. The state of mis-alignment with God's Will. 

Aligning one's own will to that of the Divine, returns you to peace. 

From this state, the quality of your being, your presence, begins to transform your life, your relationships, and the world. 

Observing Your Wanting

The moment you observe your wanting is the moment you are freed from it. 

The moment you observe your aversion is the moment you are freed from it.

You have transcended clinging and aversion. This is true freedom. All else is various forms of enslavement. 

Align with Reality or Resist Reality

At any moment you can either align yourself with reality (life as it is in this moment) through acceptance and surrender and return to peace or resist reality (not want it) and remain in suffering. 

Not Taking Your Thoughts So Seriously

When you realise that the major cause of suffering is taking your thoughts too seriously, a sense of freedom arises almost immediately. You suddenly recognise your vastness and spaciousness beyond thinking. Your true identity begins to emerge. 

Peace Cannot Come With Fighting

You can’t fight for peace. You can only bring this quality into existence by being this quality - by being peaceful. Don’t say you want peace through your anger and violence. There is nothing more hypocritical than this. 

When You Make Peace With Reality

When you make peace with reality, you make peace with yourself, others, and the world. True global peace begins to emerge as a natural consequence of this. All other approaches are futile. 

Two Wantings Causing Suffering and the Remedy

There are two types of wantings that cause personal suffering: wanting something you don’t have and wanting to retain what you already have. Observe both wantings with compassion instead of trying to squash them. Your presence is all that is required to return to Self - to peace. 

End All the Violence in the World with Your Peace

Let all the violence in the world end with your peace, your inner peace with yourself and the peace you make with the world. The peace you make with every moment. 

If Whatever is Happening Now

If whatever is happening in the present moment is exactly what “should” to be happening - then the most powerful question would be “why is it happening”? 

Recognising Delusion in Ourselves

Recognising our delusion in the past does not guarantee not being deluded in the future. Being delusional and deluded is part of the human experience. The best we could do is always doubt our judgement and be open to correction. 

Being Present with God and Self

 Being present with God is being present with Self and being present with Self is being present with God. 

One Breath Away

You are always a breath away from Presence, and thought away from loss of Presence. Yet that very moment of loss, a conscious breath is all it takes to return to Presence. To return to God. 

Whenever You Feel Hurt By Another

 Whenever you feel hurt by another, the first thing to do is to bring compassion, kindness towards yourself and your hurt. Know that the hurt is normal, natural and real. It requires your own deep care and compassion. Once you do that, and only then, if you wish, you can extend that compassion to the other person. If you do not wish, continue to bring loving kindness to yourself. You will know when you are ready to extend this. The extension will be natural and organic - never forced.

The Reality of Facing Reality

Sometimes we don’t want to face reality.

But the reality is that when we truly face reality we can transform ourselves and the world. 

The Blessing of Discomfort

Every discomfort is an opportunity to transcend. Through acceptance of what is, one rises above, the joy of being emerges once again from the mind’s mask. 

The Joy of Presence

The joy of presence emerges when we simply are. When we befriend the present moment, we enter the space where Joy and Love are the natural state. Our true nature. 

Comfort with Death

To become courageous one has to become comfortable with death. To be ready do die each day, gives the courage to serve. The other two ingredients are Love, that comes with Divine Presence or the acceptance of reality as it is, and Purpose that emerges with presence. 

Just a Glance

All it takes for the ego to lose strength is a glance - just a kind curious glance. That is all. 

The Moment You Catch the Ego

The moment you catch your own ego trying to achieve something or avoid something, is the moment you are freed from it. 

The ego will always try to do one of these things - but you can always cultivate presence to see this happening in real time. 

Gazing into Eyes

When you gaze into someone’s eyes, all the mental concepts about them begins to disappear and it is replaced by reality of their essence identity. 

When You Cannot See God

When you cannot see God, you are driven by the mind and body, by conditioning, genetics, and the environment. When you see God, you are driven by the Love and Stillness within. Vastly different experiences and outcomes. 

The Veil

 The Veil may be put on another for the purpose of acceptance. The veil is what blocks one to Truth. It serves the purpose for forgiveness and surrender. If you do not understand this right now - you are not yet ready.

The Unobserved Mind: Source of Suffering

The unobserved mind is the source of all suffering. 

All Things Arise and Pass Away

All things arise and pass away - so let's appreciate them while they last, without the need to cling onto them. 

All Will Occur At The Time

All will occur at the Time the Master Wills it. No earlier and no later. Surrender. 

We all Carry Filth No Matter Who We Are

No matter how holy someone is, in form, we all carry filth with us and each and every one of us are polluting the environment through our mere consumption and our excrement. We are all imperfect in form. This we have in common. What we also have in common is out completeness in Divine Presence. In fact we carry this commonality with all creation. We are inherently both insignificant in this vast universe while also being infinitely significant when we discover the Divine within us - as well as in all of life, all creation. Rest in this beauty that lies deep within. 

When The Whole is Not Seen

When the Whole is not seen and appreciated for what it is, diverse, vast, different, opposing, then enemies are created out of this perceived difference in form. The outsiders. The others. The enemy. The insiders feel warm and fuzzy because they feel united, they feel one against the enemy or the outsiders. There is a cost to this. Human unconsciousness, and deviation from the Divine. The Divine that permeates all things, not one group but all groups, not one nation, but all nations. Not one religion but all religions. 

Become Vast

Become as vast as the universe. Know that everything is part of you. Otherwise you will always remain small. 

Knowledge and Cause of transformation

Knowledge alone does not cause transformation. It is the application of knowledge that does. 

How to treat the ego

Be loving towards the ego but not subservient to the ego. 

When You Become Still

When you become still, then you allow the Divine to work through you. All that arises and is manifested in you and from you will be from the Divine, the Master of the Universe, God. You can no longer claim anything but can instead be filled with peace and gratitude. 

True Freedom

 True freedom arises when you are no longer concerned with survival. 

Every want is a source of suffering

 The need for anything makes you enslaved to an external situation. 

I just want to know, I want this, I want that...

These are all sources of suffering. Let go of all wanting. Be free.

The True Purpose

The true purpose of life is not about always gaining, but how you respond to loss of what you have or not been given an opportunity to get something you almost had or a lost opportunity. Remaining in stillness, unperturbed in such circumstances determines your true quality of mind, and hence your life. Any turmoil means you are at the mercy of the external world for your happiness, forgotten the deep peace within - masked by the ego. Return to Self. Be still. Even when you hold turmoil in your stillness, you transmute turmoil into peace. You become spacious. Vast. 

Rising above so you can shine

If you never experience anger, how can you rise above it to be peace and compassion?

I you never experience fear, how can you rise above it by being courage? 

If you never experience resentment, how can you rise above it to be forgiveness?

Everything that comes your way, is a way for you to rise above it

to be larger than you could ever be

To evolve into new heights

And from there shine light onto this world.

Letting Go

Life can go on when you choose to let go of the shackles of the past and embrace the present moment. 

Choosing Gratitude

At any time in life, one can choose a hundred reasons why one can't be happy with one's life, or with life. But equivalently there are a hundred reasons why one can be happy by seeing the good in one's life - in life. The choice is yours.

Realign with Reality

Realign every speck of your being with Reality - with the Universe. With Life. With Source. With God. The Essence of Life. Let ever atom, and every cell of our body prostrate before the Master of the Universe. Feel every little speck of you bowing before Thee. There you will enter a peace that cannot be known by the mind. A peace uncaused, a peace and joy, and love that emanates from the Infinite. For a moment you will feel "what more could I want".  Return to this as many times as you can. Remain here for as long as you can. It is the most worthy place to be.

Let Every Speck of Your Being

Let every speck of your being, every cell, and every atom of your body be present with the Master.

Let every breath you take be in God's Presence. Let everything you do be for God.

Let your morning be awakened by the Living Presence of the Master of the Universe and Beyond. 

Let yourself remember your root, your source, the Source of all Life. 

Let yourself be immersed in the Infinite Light and Infinite Love that permeates everything. 

All you will need to do, is remember.

Be still, and you will enter the Kingdom. 

Root of Inner Peace

I am at peace most of the time, not because there is anything special about me - but because I'm in God's Presence most of the time. 

Who Am I?

 I am the oneness that I was.

Billions of years ago, I split myself into many. I created "you" and "me." I entered into delusion.

Then I began to compete with myself.

I gathered myself into tribes and communities.

Yet I still kept parts of myself away and separate: the "others." I divided myself into more and more labels - even based on the variation of my skin color. I separated, fought, and competed with those parts of myself that I saw as separate.

Now, I am rediscovering who I was,

The oneness that I was,

The oneness that I am.

Through separation, I have rediscovered my oneness with all of life.

That knowledge could not have been known without the first separation.

My delusion is finally coming to an end.

With gratitude, I am returning home.

I am EVERYTHING that you see.

I am the cause of all the world's problems.

I am also the healer of all wounds.

I am the wrath of the world.

I am also the joy.

I am the agony.

I am also the peace.

I am the darkness.

I am also the light.

I am the nothingness.

I am also everything.

When we embrace all of who we are, we will find peace within and compassion and gratitude towards others. We gain access to forgiveness of ourselves, others, and the world. We gain access to Agape - universal love. We enter heaven on earth - finally. Our final destination. We return home.

The Worth of Things

Since for many the amount of money in their bank account has become more important than the peace and joy they experience within themselves, they sacrifice their peace and joy to increase the wealth in their bank account. 

The Only Reality is Now

 Only the now exists. Everything else is either memory or imagination. The only true Reality is Now.

The Unkind

 When you witness someone who cannot be kind, who is ignorant, who is ridden with negativity and cynicism, know that they are in suffering - that there is much pain within them from past traumas, that has blocked the innate state of peace and kindness that would otherwise manifest from their depth of being. The only natural response is compassion towards them and their pain and suffering. Wish them freedom from the hell that they may be stuck in. Wish them healing and the return to the Divine Love that lies at the depth of their being. 

Finding Happiness

Happiness cannot be found in the future.

It can only be found in the present and it is a direct reflection of the degree of your Presence at this very moment. Happiness is the degree of your presence with God. 

What does Anxiety Mean?

When you are in uncertainty and anxiously waiting for something. Be it a response from a boss regarding a job application, a message from a partner, the result about your health check for an illness, all is that you have lost presence in God, and in Life. You are not in surrender and thus there is suffering. How easy it is to remember and return to God, return to trust in Life and surrender, to return to peace. Anxiety is a sign of forgetfulness to trust in God's Will.

I enter heaven

Finding Yourself in Another

When you see another, you may first see their appearance, their situation, then their ego, when you look a little deeper in them, you will become to see their pain and suffering, their trauma, and when you look even deeper, you will begin to find yourself in them - you have finally arrived at their core, their essence which is essentially you. 

When You Become One with God

How do you know when you have become One with God? 

When you look at every stranger with a sense of love. When you witness and appreciate the love in a parent's eyes looking at their child, when you have no child of your own. When you enjoy two couples holding hands while you're still single. For you have become to recognise the other as an extension of you - and you are witnessing yourself in the other - and the myriad of other lifeforms. You have become the container of all creation. You have become One with God. This may be a fleeting experience, but nevertheless a taste of Divine Union. 

When the Ego Speaks

When the ego speaks...know that it is pain speaking. Whether yours or others, when the ego speaks through you or another, know that it is hurt and separation speaking. When you recognise this, the only natural response is compassion, not judgement. 

The Universe

The Universe owns Nothing and owns Everything. 

Priorities in Relationships

 It only takes one person in a relationship to get their priorities wrong for the relationship to break apart.

True Peace

True inner peace comes not with a peaceful mind

But acceptance of a chatty mind 

Then you will rest in peace 

All Love

All the love I can receive is from God

All the love I can give is from God

The Mind's Preoccupation

 The mind is pre-occupied with optimising experience, maximising pleasure and minimising pain, or else the mind attaches itself to a set of rules or ideals that it will attempt to defend or attach to. It can also gain its sense of identity from these ideals and attachments. The former leads to hedonism, the later, leads to fundamentalism. It doesn't matter where or who - this is common to all humanity across the entire world. 

The Moment I See Ego in Another

The very moment I see the ego in another 

It is my own ego seeing, complaining.

The only thing to take care of and observe 

Is my own ego. 

This observation alone is the pathway 

Toward dissolving my own ego and theirs. 

Be The Space

Be the space that allows pain and pleasure to arise and pass away 

Be the stillness that allows thoughts and emotions to arise and pass away.

You are much larger than the passing phenomena.

You are the Universe itself. 

Don’t Take Thoughts Seriously

Thoughts are less real than the sun, the breeze, the grass, the trees, your breath. Why do you take your thoughts so seriously? Pay more attention to the reality that is unfolding before you. Pay more attention to your breathing. 

Before Any Action

Before taking any action, become grounded in God

No useful action can really come out of lack of Presence

When I’m Good

I’m good when 

I’m with God

Never Lose Your Presence

You may lose everything in life 

But never lose your Presence in God 

Always remain in God’s Presence

Always remain Grounded in God 

Grounded in the Body

When you are fully grounded in your body, something magical happens . You move from outcome-orientation to Presence-orientation. You surrender to what is, rather than enslaved by the mind. 

What there is

There is the voice in the head . Then there is everything else - the breath, the body, flowers, trees, stars, galaxy, the universe. Reality. 

But what dominates our lives ? The voice in the head . 99% of which is judgement of our delusional reality. 

Solution : become aware. 

Source of Joy and Suffering

The greatest source of joy is the remembrance of our deep connection with the Divine and our infinite need in God. Our greatest source of suffering is the forgetfulness of this connection and this need. 

Control vs Surrender

We can't control what happens in life, but we can choose to surrender to our inner experiences arising from our experience of life and let it pass away as all experiences are transient, fleeting, and impermanent. 

The Realisation

Soon this form will realise

It’s own limits and limitation

The senses and the intellect 

Finally come to their senses

That they cannot on their own 

fully touch the Infinite depth of Your Presence

But Presence alone enters Your Kingdom 

You Are Me

You are me clothed in a different mind and body, subjected to an experience totally different to mine.

In form we are different, in essence we are one. We see differences as our senses are designed to see difference to survive in form . We create a mental image of reality far from reality . 

We both think we are separate until we gaze into each others eyes, we gaze into the universe without thought. Then we see there is only the One. All else veil. All else mental noise . 

Master’s Will

It is neither you or me 

It is the Master that allows things to be 

So surrender to the Master’s will 

And let yourself and the world heal 

Part of this World

When you feel separate from the world, how can you be responsible for it ? When you recognize that you’re part it, how can you not ?

When You Lose Your Presence

When you lose your presence with the Lord

You lose your presence with the world

The Human Condition

 Every day we are reminded of the human condition. The imperfection intertwined in perfection. The imperfection is the personality, the mind, the body, the ephemeral aspect of being human. The perfection is the essence, the soul - that we all have in common - the eternal into the Eternal. There rests perfection. Let's remember Essence in each moment - specially when we fall short of being perfect. 

Soul’s Connection with Source

Our soul’s connection with Source - our relationship with God, is the only permanent aspect of our lives . Everything else perishes. Thus our connection with God is primary, all else secondary. This includes our service, our relationships, status, wealth, and achievements. 

What You Identify With

How liberating is it to identify oneself with that which is impermanent, fleeting or based on your environmental conditions. What is your permanent identity that does not rely on external circumstances? 

Form Seeking Completeness

 At the beginning of Existence, completeness in Essence (Wholeness), became incompleteness in form and completeness in essence. The form then attempted to return itself to completeness. In form one will always be incomplete, imperfect, in essence - one will always be complete and perfect. We have focused too much on our incompleteness and the incompleteness’ attempt to return to Wholeness. This is the natural drive of the incompleteness. A part of the incompleteness is able to recognise the completeness within itself - the hidden treasure within. This is the stillness presence, or becoming present to stillness, the gateway into the Infinite, the Source of all of life. 

When You Are Present with God

When you are present with God, you are neither running towards anything nor running away from anything. You are rested in God. 

I Once Was One

I once was One 

Then I became many

I filled many bodies

Each body with its own personality 

But all longing to return to One 

To Return to Source

Only the Ego can Hurt and Be Hurt

Only the ego can hurt and be hurt. Never does the spirit. 

The Trap of the Mind

Our desire to be liked by our own and other people's minds and egos is one of the major dysfunctions of our world and a great source of suffering. The mind and ego are designed for judgement, not for acceptance, not for compassion. That is the job of the heart. The moment you relinquish the need to be accepted by the human mind (yours and others'), you gain access to freedom. You also get direct access to the heart.

When We Forget

When we forget that being present with God is primary, and everything else in this world including all of our relationships, our jobs, contributions and our possessions, secondary, we create a world of suffering for ourselves and others.  

All Beings Are Your Teachers

All beings are your teachers

Every being you come into contact with

Has something to teach you 

Beyond labels of friend or foe

Good and bad 

From those who help you to those who hurt you 

Adopt the label of the Teacher for all you come across

For each teach you a lesson on the path of awakening 

The Hero and Villain

You are a hero to one and a villain to another. The truth is you are neither and both. You cannot be the same to all, as everyone will perceive you through the filter of their conditioning. So let go off your need to be a hero or being seen as “good” to all. And instead, just be you. 

The Universe will Use You As it Pleases

The Universe will Use You As it Pleases.

Sometimes you’ll be the “bad” to others and sometimes you’ll be the “good”. In reality you are neither. The Universe has its use for you in different circumstances. Know that you will never be the “good” to all nor the “bad” to all as these labels are inherently false. A label does not capture the ultimate purpose of what the universe is using you for - awakening of the collective consciousness beyond form.
