Perhaps the greatest exponent of self-inquiry and Self-realisation is Sri Ramana Maharshi. The genius of his method, in it's simplicity and power, is unexcelled. Who is the knower? This is the fundamental question. Who am I? But remember, the answer to this question is experiential not conceptual. So 'look', don't think. Observe, don't analyse. Experience,… Continue reading Perhaps the greatest exponent of self-inquiry… →

Reality isn't conscious. That would imply a conscious subject aware of an object. Reality is conscious-ness. There is no second. Experientially we find the subject has no object other than itself. We can find no point of separation between so-called subject and object. The universal subjective. The Self knowing Itself. Descriptions, descriptions. These are just… Continue reading Reality isn’t conscious… →

It's all just happening. Identification happens. Ignorance happens. Liberation happens. At the same time they're all just appearances. Modulations of the wholeness. Exactly as they should be, by virtue of the fact that they ARE. Only they're also not. Try to find ignorance or delusion or objects or concepts. Try to locate identification.

It's hard to accept that everything is necessary and good. But it all works out for the best in some strange impossible way. Reality is a miracle and a mystery.

Living from the heart is effortless. There's no holding on to ideas and strategies. It's ever-restful, natural, spontaneous. There's no need for second-guessing. It's a living trust and surrender. You go where you go, do what you do. It happens, life happens. We're moved by an unseen intelligence. A deep stirring of the ocean of… Continue reading Living from the heart is effortless… →

We're all doing our best at every turn.  We're all the same in this, and however broken or messy we may be, we're fundamentally oriented to truth and love in the end. The gravity of our essential being and goodness is always drawing us home. And I know this is challenging to our understanding when… Continue reading We’re all doing our best… →

I don't really mind what happens. I could pop off today with no regrets and nothing left undone. I'll leave in a puff of love. Poof! This is all the weather. The turning of the kaleidoscope. I'm here for it all, in love. When you love it all, every moment is it's own reward. There's… Continue reading I don’t really mind what happens… →
