From where do images come?
Disregard the senses.
Now is the perfect time, always.
The ego attaches ownership and causality to each moment after it has gone, creating the illusion that it is the doer and the active actor. Each moment, action and thought happens spontaneously without cause and the self is only a witness. The ego self follows and after the fact creates the illusion that it is living the life rather than life being through it.
There is no truth in the world.
You can only know that which you are, all knowingness is within the Self.
There is no happiness in the outer world.
All experience is knowing your Self.
All thought is limitation.
Experience is the Self which is veiled by language.
“Reality”, as perceived, is a filtered and contracted experience of pure Love, like a black and white photo of a colorful object, it loses much in the filtering. The true, pure Love experience is always there, always in the now, and can be seen when one lets go of thought and the mind.
The infinite perceived as finite (nothing finite is real). The pure experience is labeled by thought and in the labeling it is contracted.
Silence is the only truth.
Every name is the name of God.
Thoughts/imagination/desire creates reality in the “space” of awareness which is projected into “reality”. Events/experiences are then spontaneous occurrences in the drama of which we are the players, not the active participants.
The world, objects and others seem real due to a suspension of disbelief. This suspension of disbelief may be unwilling or unseen. When the disbelief and belief is gone the illusion goes with it and the world, objects, and others are perceived for what they are, Self.
You are the witness until you understand that there is nothing to witness.
Having already died there is nothing to fear.
All thoughts, sensations, perceptions, all experience, for all people, all occur in the same place and time. Everyone’s experiences all occur here and all occur now. We are all the same awareness.
There is only awareness, there is no individual awareness.
Everything is Love, hidden by a concept.
Eliminate all that is false or illusory. What remains is the Self. Eliminate that and then you are.
Do not plan, do not remember.
Judgement veils happiness, allow yourself to be the expression of happiness.
Resistance takes effort. It takes effort to create and maintain labels, stories and identities. Be effortless, be what is.
Pare away all philosophies, prune away all concepts, dissolve all beliefs, remove all identifications. Whatever remains is your true Self, be that.
Do not try to grasp and hold that which is ephemeral.
The journey ends with acceptance.
You are a constant expression of your true Self.
You are consciousness expressing itself always.
There is no void of nothingness, there is only the void of everythingness.
You are the totality but you chose to see the form and the fragment.
Everything is infinitely close.
Don’t try so hard, being your Self is effortless.
Everything is an expression of Love.
Consciousness is Love, Love is Consciousness.
Everything is a beautiful, perfect expression of Love.
There is no need to judge or resist when you know that all is Love, there is only complete acceptance.
Love is in the totality.
The finite cannot judge the infinite.
Everything is, don’t define it, welcome it.
Everything is individual and universal at the same time.
Silence is communication.
Don’t claim ownership to any thought.
Distinction is illusion.
Everything is an appearance and nothing is as it appears.
The now is a perfect expression of Love. Exist in the now and know peace and happiness. Ignore the now and chose to live in the past or future by way of thoughts and you chose sorrow and unhappiness.
Imagination creates reality. Transcend imagination and be reality.
There is no way that things should be, do not live beyond the moment.
Release yourself to find your Self.
There is no continuity of experience.
All paintings are Self portraits.
Service to humanity is service to Self.
1+1=1=0
Aversion and attachment are two sides of a coin that doesn’t exist.
Take the first step and the last step is made.
To find Peace be peaceful, to find Love be loving.
Have no expectations.
Everything is a beautiful gift (no matter what story you create about it).
