Follow the lights

look at something then look back at what’s looking if you see a dimensionless void, good realize that everything that you perceive is contained by that void including all the bits that you call you realize that there is no difference then look back out look at: countries, money, traffic rules, laws, etc. and realize… Continue reading Follow the lights

Stop the squeeze

A little story… You’re on a walk. Let’s say you are in a forest, walking along a river bank. The sun is out, birds are singing, you are walking. As you amble into a clearing, you come across a young woman. She looks agitated. She is clutching something in her hand. The knuckles of her… Continue reading Stop the squeeze

Like the movies

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

You’re wrong

Your opinions are shit. My opinions are shit too. How do I know this? Two reasons: Look back at what we used to believe at any point in history. Point to a time where what we believed wasn’t batshit insane. Now look at your own beliefs and how many of those you have (quietly) changed… Continue reading You’re wrong

Trust the universe

No thing actually exists, separate from the whole. As I tried to point out in my last post ‘Any thing’ we can point at the heart of everything but the edges of nothing. That’s because those edges aren’t there. The thing is made-up and everything is connected. Everything is an appearance in consciousness. We apply… Continue reading Trust the universe

Any thing

I’ve written about concepts before (several times actually) and this will essentially be a rehash but nevertheless I feel like writing about the topic, so here it goes. Point at any ‘thing’. It doesn’t matter, just pick a thing. Whatever you chose, chances are you believe that ‘thing’ is somehow real, as a thing, separate… Continue reading Any thing

Love yourself

Basically all our issues can be traced back to a lack of self-love. We are horrible to ourselves. We think the most atrocious things about ourselves. If you think about it for one second, that is the definition of insanity. We make ourselves miserable. Why?! Because we have internalized from a young age that we… Continue reading Love yourself
