“The light of consciousness has no mind to change or alter anything. There is no sense that anything needs to change, but it does change.”

Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.

We realize–often quite suddenly–that our sense of self, which has been formed and constructed out of our ideas, beliefs and images, is not really who we are. It doesn’t define us, it has no center.

Many spiritual people are involved in a radical denial of what is happening. They want to transcend it, get rid of it, get out of it, get away from it. There’s nothing wrong with that feeling, but the approach doesn’t work because it’s escapism in spiritual clothing.

The Truth doesn’t answer anything. The Truth IS everything!

In liberation, you stand alone. You stand alone because you need no supports of any kind. You need no supports because you have realized that the very notion of a separate you no longer exists.

The Way of Liberation is not a belief system; it is something to be put into practice.

My teacher used to say ‘all love is bittersweet’. All things experienced fully, reveal their opposite.

To find out that you are empty of emptiness is to die into an aware mystery, which is the source of all existence.

When we start to suffer, it tells us something very valuable. It means that we are not seeing the truth, and we are not relating from the truth. It’s a beautiful pointer. It never fails.

Can you imagine if you really let it in that you are not a problem to be solved in any way? Imagine you knew that anything that would tell you otherwise is just a movement of thought in the mind that says “Whatever is, isn’t the way it is supposed to be.

Imagine trusting silence more than any thought you can come up with.

To pause for just a moment and realize that maybe you aren’t who you imagine yourself to be.

Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier.

If you filter my words through any tradition or ‘-ism’, you will miss altogether what I am saying. The liberating truth is not static; it is alive. It cannot be put into concepts and be understood by the mind.

We can’t have an idea of what life should look like, about how spirit should be manifesting as our very life, because all of those ideas would just be products of the past – something we learned, imagined, or desired.

Feel your way into what I am saying rather than thinking about it. Only a self-concept looks and longs for God. Drop your self-concept and there is only God meeting God. Enlightenment is the restoration of cosmic humor.
