Difference without separation.

Thinking negatively, thinking positively - it’s still all just magical thinking and prone to the natural transience of all things.

Nothing special. Ordinary awareness in the midst of life.

There is nothing we can think that can solve the problems that thought creates.

We love to meet the stories we hear with our own stories instead of just sharing the truth of what is here now for all of us.

See through the leading character (the ego) in our story and the whole narrative collapses.

You Don’t Have To Suffer Anymore

Time is Thought

Time is Thought by Dr Amy Johnson

No path, no way, no method, no technique that endures. Everything changes. Only the ever present raw actuality of this moment reveals the empty abundance of open awareness.

This timeless present moment of eternal reality right now reveals everything we need to know about our fantasies of the past and of the future.

We can recognise a great teaching to be true when it points away from itself to the heart of truth within all of us.

Buddhism isn’t about becoming a Buddhist or even Buddhism. It’s about recognising the nature of your own mind, on your own evidence, in your own life, in your own way. In Zen it is said ‘Zen washes away Zen.’ You find your true self, not another belief system.

When truly sought
Even the seeker cannot be found.
Thereupon the goal of the seeking is attained,
And the end of the search.
At this point there is
Nothing more to be sought,
And no need to seek anything.

Listen, trust and learn from yourself. Ultimately we are our own best teachers.

I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry as I need it.

John Cage

Shifting out of our world of images and stories about ourselves and the world is simple but hard, because there are no images or stories of being without an image or story.

If we are anything we may say we are fields of potentiality.

We can discover everything we need to know about ourselves by observing how we behave when no one is looking.

The universe includes us but isn’t about us.
