When you know who you really are, you will have the answers to all the questions because ultimately your “truth” is what reflects through everything. So who are you? In simple words you are the “one thing” which is everything. I call this “one thing” as “consciousness” because its very nature is to be conscious, […]
My definition of struggle, or “effort”, is simply the doing of activities that feel joyless and passionless. The whole concept of effort was created through a misunderstanding of life. The only reason an activity feels like an effort is because you are struggling against the movement of life while doing it. Life doesn’t want you […]
The force that has created this cosmos is highly vibrant and alive. When one is lost in the mind noise, and emotional baggage, there are very few moments when this aliveness is experienced – these are usually the moments when the mind stops being negative or when it’s too exhausted, or excited, to think. However, […]
Fear is the reaction you feel in the body when the mind senses danger. Fear is simply an energy movement in the body that prepares it for a “fight or flight” response. When there is a real survival threat, like if you are being attacked physically by someone or something, this energy of fear is […]
To the mind it seems as if life brings forth situations that require one to take decisions and choose between one path or the other. A lot people complain about their inability to take quick decisions and their tendency to make senseless, or wrong, decisions. Here are a few pointers on how to resolve indecisions […]
Life is pure positive energy and the reality that it creates is a reflection of this energy. When you look around at nature per se, you will notice a deep sense of peace, joy and love reflecting from it. Everything that has “no mind” is a perfect reflection of the natural vibration of life. The […]
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 […]
The one trying to be free of the mind is also the mind. How can mind be free of mind? The whole effort to want freedom from the mind is motivated from a place of fear and powerlessness, so it’s bound to keep you in the same place of fear. Its fine to have an […]
Presence is not a practice, it’s who you are. You are the consciousness or presence that is aware of every thing that arises in the Now. In other words, you “are” the field of Now in which all forms (including your body) arises and animates. When you are lost in mind identification it just means […]
The feeling of “stuckness” arises when you find yourself in a life situation which does not seem to change for the better. You may be in a job that feels “joyless”, which hardly ever motivates you, and yet you seem to be doing it everyday for several years or you may be living in a […]
You may be carrying a cloud of negativity in your energy field which shield you from experiencing your natural joy of being. People try to subdue or suppress this negativity by indulging in temporary relief practices, which are primarily “distractions”, that do nothing to release this energy, all it does is it temporarily removes it […]
You may say that your mind is addicted to negative thinking, but in truth it’s “you” who is addicted to negative thoughts. The “mind” only responds to your vibration and interest, in other words the “mind” does not have a life of it’s own but it does gather momentum from your attention. Through your constant […]
There is only one stream and that is the stream of well-being. The very movement of life is created out of a pure desire for joy. Look at the nature around you, look at the stars, the trees, the birds, the flowers, the waterfalls and the mountains, is it not evident that something very joyful […]
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 […]
Stop Resisting Your Desires There is a huge misunderstanding in the minds of many spiritually oriented people in that they think desire leads to suffering. Nothing could be far from truth. Desires don’t cause suffering, it’s the resistance to a born desire that leads to suffering. Once a desire is born, you can consider it […]
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”. […]
Do you feel a sense of gratitude, and appreciation, for what you have presently in your life or are you constantly looking forward to a future moment to satisfy you? Most people feel a sense of unease with what is, and though they are not even sure of what they are looking for, they always […]
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 […]
Every moment in your day, you are constantly “informed”, and guided, by life. Unfortunately most of us not only disregard this guidance but in many cases go in a direction opposite to what we are guided towards. We are informed by life through two different means – Feelings and Instinct. To have clear access to […]
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 […]
The human mind has the ability to “prefer”, and hence the capacity to like or dislike. It’s the function of the human mind to have preferences, thus allowing a platform for “expansion” and improvement. Without the human mind desiring for better conditions there would be no avenue for expansion. By its very nature, the mind […]
It might sound insane but in many cases the “me” is extremely attached to negativity, to the extent of defending its right to be negative. It’s not uncommon to encounter a movement in you that is attracted to conflict or fear. This movement has its foundation in a fear based “root” thought. In many cases […]
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 […]
Very few people stay true to the natural way of being. Most people, in varying degrees, sacrifice their natural tendencies to “fit in” to their culture, society, family, friends, relationships or career. When you are not being your natural self, you will always need to struggle, and make effort, to move through life. You will […]
