  • We may at first have thought consciousness was in the mind, or even thought it was the mind itself. That it was somehow part of our domain; our personal interface with life or our go-to source of thinking and reason.

    Exploring the mind however, we discover it is not consciousness that is personal, but the mind. We discover the mind is limited and finite and that we can go beyond it — to consciousness itself. Even as a new explorer, we are aware of something here vast and whole, an infinite peace, potent and complete. And we know — as if remembering — that this is also the intrinsic, intimate truth of ourselves.

​Welcome!

This is a blog for those who travel an inner path, seeking truth, beauty and the source of being.

Here are ideas and practices to help and encourage the traveler, and to address the obstacles that we, as students of consciousness, inevitably encounter. Everything you find here you can do at anytime and take as far as you want.

Looking Things Up

​Recently, I saw a snippet of video: two groups of 20-somethings on different sides of a contentious issue having a heated but (amazingly!) civil debate about it.


One side said, Why don’t you look up the facts? To which a beautiful young woman from the other side said earnestly: Because feelings are truer than facts!

I thought, Wow. Here is the ego’s basic premise right on the surface: feelings equal reality – but it is usually hidden under thoughts and reasons.

This is why looking things up is a sure-fire way to bring on an existential crisis – and it is also why looking things up is a doorway to enlightenment.

    The ego/mind is based in the ideas of identity and duality, and committed to its survival over all else. To ensure this, the ego/mind uses any means necessary to get what it desires and avoid what it fears. Over eons, the ego/mind and the survival instinct evolved in the manner it fulfilled this purpose, developing increasingly sophisticated and complex capabilities: it learned to conceptualize, manipulate, imagine, deceive, convince, invent and so on. All of this bundled together with emotion (another evolutionary development), created what most of us now experience as our identity — as myself.”



    A paradigm is the framework of belief, perception and emotion through which we experience and understand ourselves and all of life. It is the filter through which we perceive, the lens through which we see. Like water to a fish, it is our unquestioned sense of reality. The paradigm both creates the appearance of reality and confirms to us that what we call reality is as we believe it to be. Normally, we are oblivious to what makes up this paradigm — the framework of what we call reality.”



    Consciousness is often thought of as being located in or created by the brain; its origin purely chemical or physical, and its function that of creator, recorder and experiencer of our interface with life. Consciousness seems like our individual and distinct sense of reality, but what we are actually experiencing that seems so unique to ourselves, is the ego/mind.

    Consciousness is an infinite and omnipotent field, a unified and congruent wholeness of unlimited creative power whose source, and ours, is Absolute Reality.



    God, Divinity, Ultimate Reality, Self and one's true essence all seek to describe the indescribable: the Absolute, which is omnipotent, omnipresent and eternal; the infinite unity out of which arises all existence, consciousness and life.



    The world exists,
    but our perception of it
    does not.
