Everyone can do nothing about it

The universe seems pretty big from the point of view of the monkey. Vast and intimidating. Almost infinite, with galaxy upon galaxy, immense amounts of matter and energy, incredible forces and stupefying distances. But have a closer look at experience. What you experience is fairly limited. Some visual sense impressions, some tactile impressions, some thoughts,… Continue reading You are entertained

Take everything you experience. Everything. And put it to one side. Then have a look at where it is experienced. Put that to the other side. Yin and yang. Pattern and consciousness. You are consciousness. And pattern appears in it. And everything is pattern. The monkey included. Then realize that pattern and consciousness can’t be… Continue reading More nonsense

Maya everywhere Everywhere

It’s a yin and yang thing. There is no one without the other. Blame is nonsense. Flaws are necessary. We don’t have to cherish them but we can be honest. Self judgement is always a mistake. Or not, because it provides drama. But that’s all it does. Emotional force, is what it is. What else… Continue reading You can’t not have flaws
