REFLECTIONS
You Are Reality
No experience can bring you closer to it—or further away. No amount of pleasure or pain, gain or loss, success or failure can alter or stain it.
May Love Be Your Compass
This moment in its complete ordinariness is the miracle we seek. Recognizing the quiet joy of simply being is your birthright—and your true responsibility in this life.
Only Ever Sensation
No experience can bring you closer to it—or further away. No amount of pleasure or pain, gain or loss, success or failure can alter or stain it.
Own Nothing - Be Everything
Ownership exists only as thought. The one who owns nothing, not even himslef, the whole world belongs to him.
Du Tout et du Rien
Le silence, c’est le sommeil de la pensée. Et le sommeil de la pensée, c’est l’éveil du tout.
Nature is always free
Whatever idea you have about something is just that—an idea—never the thing itself. Underneath the projected world of human meaning, there is the natural flow of aliveness…
The monsters we see, we create
Narratives that thrive on the fear of external enemies share the same fundamental flaw: they are constructed on the false premise that life can be divided, that it can be at war with itself…
The Formless
True reality consists of infinitely more than the perceived world. And in that discovery, the sages say, lies true liberation…
Who is Perceiving?
What is perception? What is doing it? And who or what is it that is perceiving? Can you know?…
You are Perfect
You are perfect. You need absolutely nothing. You are perfect just as you are. And this moment is perfect and complete just as it is…
A Matter of Perspective
We see life as potentially good or bad to us. So we must believe we are somehow separate from it. But are we, really?…
The Simple Love of Being
If humanity is afflicted by one disease above all, it is this: to have lost touch with the sacred…
On Sensation
Senses are not windows to reality; they are reality itself. Senses are not vehicles to fulfillment; they are the fullness, the wholeness, the completeness we seek...
The Symphony of Existence
We are not born into the universe; the universe is born within us. It comes into being through us and has no independent existence apart from us. This is not a belief nor an opinion that can be accepted or rejected, but a simple fact to be observed and recognized, pregnant with myriads of wonderful implications...
Beyond the Known
What we perceive as “the known” is a mental image—a construct of thought designed to help us navigate life with a semblance of certainty...
The World Within
Some fruits grow fast, while some need longer maturation periods. There are all sorts of sizes, shapes, colors, textures and flavors in Nature. All have their place and their reason to be.
About Life
We land on Earth, not knowing how or why. We start by giving names to everything, trying to make sense of it all. We believe we understand the difference between this and that, we separate the good from the bad. We start telling stories about ourselves and others and before long, we believe we’ve got it all figured out...
Who is the “I”?
Whatever can be seen or described is not what you are. What you can discover is only what it is not. The only way to approach the essence of your being is by gently peeling away all the images, appearances, and preconceptions that veil its pure presence…
