Sometimes the journey towards inner freedom can feel like a paradox, for example, there may be a phase where there is a movement towards freeing you from your ego and it can be followed by a phase where there is a movement towards freeing you from trying to be “egoless” – you can see how […]
The ones among you who have been privy to spiritual teachings would be very familiar with terms like oneness, non-duality, emptiness and “nothingness”, used by some teachers to point to the sense that one has in the state of wholeness. These terms can be quite flabbergasting to someone who has no real perspective on what […]
If you look at it, the process of becoming free of negativity, and coming into alignment with yourself (with your life’s calling), just requires two steps 1. Develop your awareness by becoming “observant” of your thought/emotional space, instead of being lost in it 2. Go through a phase of letting go of the past negativity […]
There are two ways to perceive life – 1. from a point of separation 2. from a point of oneness. When you perceive life from a point of separation you can’t help but suffer because it disconnects you from the inherent truth of life, which is “oneness”. When you perceive life from a point of […]
I call this the age of awakening because it’s very evident that a lot people are ready to wake up from unconscious living, to move into a new way of living which can be called conscious living or aligned living or enlightened living (the labels don’t matter, as long as they help as pointers). The […]
The natural outcome of awakening out of identification with the mind is to allow for the development of a “mature” mind. In the absence of awareness it’s not possible for the mind to develop an all-round maturity. So waking up from being lost in the mind is the first step, but eventually it’s about bringing […]
Awakening to the truth of your “being nature”, and understanding the dynamics of your “human nature”, is all part of phase 2, where you are deepening in the true understanding of all your aspects. However, unless you realize that in the end all the “understanding” is essentially so you can let go of trying to […]
When the cloud of negativity fades away it becomes very apparent that the being that you are, and have always been, is a happy being. There are no exceptions to this fact, every being is essentially a happy being at the core and all the negativity is basically created from the unconscious identification to fear […]
The place of “happy without a reason” is not what your mind imagines it to be – it’s not a state of constant exhilaration but one of “stability”, it’s calm and yet alive. Happiness is just a term we humans have coined to describe the “feeling” of experiencing the natural vibration of life that happens […]
As I mentioned in the post “The Descent of Awareness in You”, the movement of awareness is always all encompassing, it does not deny or avoid (or conveniently ignore) any aspect in your human/physical consciousness, rather it moves constantly towards touching all aspects, be it dark or light, within you, and it brings a wisdom […]
“You” are everything and the more you understand yourself the more you understand everything and this is what enlightenment is. The starting point is always at a limited understanding of who you are, you see yourself through a very narrow perspective as a “body” that has a name and a gender, that has a race […]
Each of us is at a certain level of awareness and the outlook/preferences we have at any particular point in our life is determined not only by our external conditioning, and natural make-up of our brain, but also by the level of awareness that’s present in us. As the level of awareness keeps increasing in […]
In .life, you will never reach an “end point” where you feel you have finally made it. Even death is not an end point because your energy will continue further into new experiences of the non-physical nature and may further manifest into a new physical form as a matter of movement. There is no “end” […]
Who you are is not a mystery but a very available truth, which you have access to if you would allow yourself to inquire into it deeply enough. The more time you spend with yourself, allowing your awareness to touch every aspect of you fully, the more you know yourself as who you are and […]
If you look deeply enough you will get a sense that happiness is simply a state of being which is free of “fear”. Since fear is created only in the human brain, you can realize that happiness is the natural state of life and the only reason a human being does not experience happiness as […]
This is not a philosophical statement or a spiritual one, but rather a highly scientific truth. Everything is just you, there is nothing else present here except you. However I would like to clarify that by “you” I don’t mean the “you” of the brain, because every brain has a “me” thought about itself which […]
Everything I talk about is not something you need to accomplish, but it’s something that you will naturally start unfolding in you as you start awakening to your truth. It’s important to not label awakening as something “extra ordinary” or something mystical, because it’s simply a return back to your natural way of being, your […]
Who you are in your essence is a deeply innocent being without any guile or shrewdness, you are unconditional love itself. This deep innocence is present as the natural state of every living being and you can see this so clearly in the animals, birds and nature as a whole. There is a deep innocence […]
The root cause of suffering is the “split” within the consciousness that is identified with duality based thinking. There is no “split” in reality, so when you create an illusionary split through duality based thoughts, you end up suffering. People who practice staying as a “field of awareness” can also move from a place of […]
Life is just “one” thing, but thoughts have the ability to create the illusion of “separation”. If you don’t have access to the dimension in you that’s before thought, you will find yourself living through a very wrong vision of what life is. When you are lost in the illusion of separation, there is an […]
The force in you that wants “control” is the force that creates resistance to the movement of life. Imagine life to be a fast moving current of water, and you are on this current sitting on a raft. All your efforts at control will only cause resistance to your movement, but when you just let […]
For most people life is just about “crisis” management. Look back upon your life, and ask yourself if the whole journey till now has been just about “problem solving”, in most cases the answer would be “Yes”. People bring the same attitude towards “awakening”, their primary objective is – “how can awakening solve my problems”. […]
Don’t make negative thoughts personal, because they are not being thought by who you really are. This may sound confusing if you are identified with the part in you that thinks negative, imaging it to be you. Actually, the energy, or the consciousness, in you that thinks negative thoughts is what I refer to as […]
Life is in constant movement, in a forward motion towards continuous expansion. There is no “static-ness” in life and so if you are not willing to allow for a constant transformation, you become a source of resistance. The feeling of suffering within, is simply your resistance to the movement of life. You have to be […]
Who you are is like a “wise” child. It’s a paradox because a child is not really wise, a child is “innocent”, deeply innocent, but not wise. Who you are is deeply innocent but also highly wise, creative and intelligent. You are love itself, you are joy itself, you are peace itself, these are not […]
