Enlightenment Now: Quips4
Today it rains, the senses full with damp, wet, coolness. Perceiving happens but, there is no one perceiving. If you relax your mind you will find that at the deepest level of existence there is no one home but Consciousness Itself, or what some call the Holy...Enlightenment Now: Quips3
The only use for the concept of ‘past’ is to learn from our mistakes. Otherwise, no point living there anymore, it’s gone. The only use for the future (as a concept) is to make cursory plans, lightly held. Otherwise, no point living there anymore, it...Enlightenment Now: Quips2

When Awakening first happened, I considered it to be the end of a long spiritual search to know the truth of my own nature. In the Mandukya Upanishad the Sanskrit phrase, transliterated as “Ayam Atman Brahman” brought me to the intellectual conclusion...The Only War Worth Fighting
