Most people are image-worshipers. The image they worship is their own self-image. Our self-image is the idea we have of our self and project to others. This idea is a superimposition on the mind. It is formed as a result of our identification with the mind, and by extension, the body and its interrelationships. So, …

The Self
The Self is not melancholy. The Self is not depressed. The Self is not excited or bored, frustrated or annoyed. The Self is not impatient or restless, impulsive, arrogant, pretentious, proud or vain. The Self sees but does not superimpose. The Self is beyond thought but is not thoughtless. The Self is the same in …
Breaking Free
Staying focused means to stay centered on the Self. This makes the mind one-pointed, and when this happens the mind seems to disappear. On the other hand, the mind becomes a big problem when we are self-centered. Being self-centered means the mind is preoccupied with ego, the small self. The small self, ego, is the …
Don’t listen to your mind
We need to make up our mind not to listen to our mind. “Mind listening to the mind” means ego reflecting on itself. “Getting our self out of the way” means removing ego from the mind. When ego is removed, then there is no reflection of ego. Instead, the mind reflects the “Light of the …
Imagination and Enlightenment
“The range of human experience is limited only by one’s imagination.” This statement is true—but not in the way it is generally understood.

In order to practice negativity one has to ignore ones real nature. The nature of Consciousness is to shine. The nature of awareness is to be aware. The nature of …
Be Completely Fulfilled
Banish the idea of separation. Dispel the notion of ignorance. You are full. You are complete. You are One with the Absolute. You are absolutely inseparable from the Supreme. You are permanently united with your Essence. When we remove the idea of separateness (EGO) created by Avidya (Ignorance), the emptiness vanishes and we experience the …
Wanting and Wantonness
“Wanting” is a distortion of our real nature (higher nature) and leads to greed (whether monetary or emotional greed). When the greed sets in we lose our power of discernment, and once that is lost our failure is certain. We fail even when we get what we want, because getting what we want is not …
Measuring Up
Every soul has the eternal desire to be ABSOLUTELY free. No one can ever be content with being partly free, because our intrinsic nature is to be completely free. What is Bound? The mind is bound by ignorance of our Absolute Nature. In other words, when the mind is unenlightened it is in a state …
