Don’t wait to be taught. Let your own intuition and insights guide you.

Words and images have meaning in contrast to reality which simply is meaning.

The real benefits of contemplative inquiry appear when we let go of acquiring any.

It’s the holding on that hurts, not the letting go.

Beware spiritual materialism. The subtle, seductive tendency to turn the formless, not only into form, but to elevate and separate that form above and from other forms.

It is what we do when we don’t know, don’t understand what we are doing.

We deceive ourselves by thinking it can’t be this obvious, this simple, this effortless. It is our thoughts, not our raw awareness, that create confusion, complexity and fantasies of difficulty and expectation. The delusion that this can’t be it when in reality, it always is.

The eternal unfolding of the infinite everything includes the arising of the futile attempts to describe it. A ruler trying to measure itself.

Can we be still and attend to this open awareness without describing or narrating?
