Free will doesn’t exist. You aren’t separate from anything else. It’s all one thing: experience in consciousness and you are both the observer and the observed. That’s all. In practice this means that you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the show. You can’t do anything, because the doing happens all by itself. So… Continue reading The tiller

Appreciation
The universe is a mirror. It reflects back at you what you send out. It also responds to requests when they are asked in a way that it understands. By sending out what you want. Send out appreciation and you’ll get much to appreciate. Try it.
The doing is the point
The process, not the result, is the whole point. Of everything Always. Keep that in mind and everything magically changes. Results are in the future or in the past. The process happens right now. Results can be measured and judged against expectations. The process just unfolds. You can’t influence results. You think you can, and… Continue reading The doing is the point
Spectacle
There’s consciousness. Experience arises in consciousness. The experiences are chopped up into pieces through concepts and stories. That’s how things are created. Through made up concepts. The stories that you believe in are real. The other ones are not. None are true because all are made up. There is just one truth. Consciousness is. All… Continue reading Spectacle
Talking to god
When you’re talking to me, you’re talking to god. Let that sink in. The lord himself. The almighty. When you’re talking to yourself, you’re also of course talking to the lord. Because that’s what god means. Everything. All of it. And that’s you. Consciousness. We can’t see it because we look too small. Looking for… Continue reading Talking to god
Nothing ain’t anything
I’m reading the Science Delusion by Rupert Sheldrake and it’s a fun trip through all the different ways scientific models fail and what that should tell us about science. I haven’t finished it yet but what stands out very clearly is the whole idea that anything should be anything. The verb ‘to be’ is causing… Continue reading Nothing ain’t anything
Adulthood
I’ve been thinking a lot about development. Emotional development and growing up, becoming an adult human being. I view society and the people in it like a bunch of kids making a mess. Take a small step back and really look. But look with fresh eyes. There’s crayon on the walls and ceiling. Toys and… Continue reading Adulthood
One view to rule them all
We have really taken to the utility of maths and science, we love how neat it is, and how well it works. The iPhone I’m writing this on is an amazing device and the fact that it works is bloody magical. And we’ve transposed the perspectives that work for making iPhones to all parts of… Continue reading One view to rule them all
Perspectives
Think back 100 years, then another 100, and another and another, then imagine the perspective of a person in that period. How different was their outlook on life? How differently did they experience what happened to them and around them? Now do the same for people in your time. Then meditate a little on how… Continue reading Perspectives
Proof for the segregated
I’ll prove the truth of 1 to you. I make only one claim: consciousness is all and you are it. That’s it! Nothing more, everything else is a claim made by the segregated. And here’s my argument. The only thing you or any entity can know is: I am / Consciousness is / Experience is.… Continue reading Proof for the segregated
