All points of view are of the mind whereas consciousness is the viewing. Consciousness is non-local and universal, it is nondual in nature. It sees neither good nor bad or right and wrong. It just is. Only consciousness is conscious, it is self evident, it knows itself by being itself. It can be...

You couldn't of put it better. In fact what you said, is by the grace of God. Not many people in this world have come that close, and I'm saying that out of compassion for them. When we say God is separate, I think it's incomplete. It would later need to be collapsed or else we go on looking...

We assume that consciousness shares the limits of the body, that we are located inside our body. But our body is an appearance. If consciousness were able to die, consciousness would have to be present in order to say that. So if consciousness can't die, then it wasn't born either. We know of...

You are still conscious when you are asleep. Sleep is not the absence of awareness, it is the awareness of absence. How is it that after you wake up you can say whether there was nothing there or that you had a dream? You had to have been aware the whole time. We confuse the waking state for...

Exactly! I think it's due to our developed mental capacity to conceptualize. Someone once said, "The mind is a beautiful servant, but a terrible master." The mind is finite, it is seen as an object. The seeing itself or consciousness is not finite, it can never be seen because it has no shape or...

And birth is a concept. Same with time. When I don't think about time, my experience is just timeless. The present moment is timeless. It is not a moment in time, all time occurs now. I can't find a beginning or end to 'right now'. Consciousness is always right now, it transcends time and space...

For God and man, I have an analogy. Take the wave on the ocean. The wave may seem like it is separate from the ocean, but it cannot be separated from the ocean. Yes and what I'm getting at is that there is a difference between scriptures and direct experience. Scriptures to me are just...

I've always asked myself, "Who am I underneath all labels and forms?" I'm saying Jesus knew he was God, he was awake to it. I don't know when he woke up to that realization or if he even had to wake up to it. He was unique for sure because he knew that. That's why I think humanity is just...

All I know is if I am already at peace with myself, I don't care about a heaven. Me being fulfilled is being in heaven. Isn't being fulfilled what we all truly want at the end of the day? The fact that this world is in a state of constant renewal is a beautiful thing. Even more reason not to...

Jesus himself though was not the kind of man he was as a result of choosing Jesus Christ as his personal savior. I see Jesus as someone who woke up to the realization that he is God and it's also up to us to wake up to the same realization. I think Jesus saw things as an eastern mystic does and...

You ever looked at a very abstract painting with many imperfections in it and when you took a step back, there was a certain kind of beauty to it? I think that perfection is seeing past good & bad and going past dualism. Because as long as you see something as good, you'll see some bad in it and...

I think Satan is used as a scapegoat to not take responsibility. It's easier to say, "The devil made me do it." Or "Satan is responsible for this." We can either choose to see the perfection in the imperfection that this moment is truly it, or continue believing in some other reality than right...

All my life, I always had a very natural way of understanding Jesus & the Bible because I always trust my direct experience over conceptual belief. One thing that I could never understand is the belief of a Heaven somewhere else. I've always felt that people talk about a heaven because they...
