The small you is a little piece of light in a Kaleidoscope. The big You is the Kaleidoscope itself. The image in the Kaleidoscope is ever changing, fleeting and just some light. The image is pretty whatever the pieces of light think of it. You don’t control when you appear in the Kaleidoscope or when… Continue reading The Kaleidoscope

Work in progress
What I think I have figured out about how to interact with the world from the perspective of the small self, integrated with the big Self. This is an off the cuff list of shit that I think is true. It is very much a work in progress. Life is a game, don’t take it… Continue reading Work in progress
A proposal
Sometimes we capitalize words. Like God. I guess it is to show that God is such an important dude that we can’t just throw his word in with all the peasant words. We also capitalize ‘I’. Why would that be, do you think? My proposal is this: let us uncapitalize the ‘i’ when we are… Continue reading A proposal
Do you believe in…
the Easter Bunny? Santa? God? Yourself? What kind of question is that? Do you believe in…? Do you believe in apples? Or in the sky? And why? Why do you believe or not believe in anything? Most of us stop believing in the poor Easter Bunny at some point, because it doesn’t exist. I would… Continue reading Do you believe in…

Claiming to have consciousness is like an actor in a film declaring they have a movie screen on which they are projected. The movies We don’t have consciousness at all. That statement doesn’t make any sense. Everything, e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g appears in consciousness. The world, your body, your thoughts, your feelings, absolutely everything appears in consciousness. There… Continue reading Like the movies
Letting go of the ego
What does it even mean to ‘let go of the ego’? And how to do it? It’s a simple enough instruction but seemingly very, very difficult to execute. Here’s the thing. The ego is the bit in your mind that thinks it has control. That thinks it has free will and can do stuff. I’ve… Continue reading Letting go of the ego
Trust in God
You are not separate from the rest of the universe. All boundaries are made-up concepts. You, as a human, do not have free will. Causation binds everything together into a whole. Only that whole (or God) has free will. You are an integral part of that whole. There is no need to strive, judge or… Continue reading Trust in God
