Not funny?
It could be by becoming familiar with I Am That.

Okay, maybe not. It's a bad joke. But the book is profound. Read it.

Placebo Awareness

Here in North America everywhere you go there are campaigns going on for cancer awareness, diabetes awareness, heart disease awareness, and so on. While the intentions behind these campaigns are undoubtedly positive, I believe there is a grave error being made that most people are completely unaware of.

There is the placebo effect and then there is the nocebo effect. Most people have never heard of the nocebo effect, nor do they understand the full implications of it.

The placebo effect is when an illness, health issue or disease is suddenly, instantly and miraculously gone when absolutely no (actual) medicine or treatment of any kind has been taken. It's what happens when the mind no longer believes that a disease is real. The mind has been completely emptied, even on a subconscious level, that there is such a thing as illness. There IS only health, and not an iota of doubt about it exists in consciousness. Health alone is real.

Now if the mind is this profoundly powerful and can eradicate and cure disease with no effort whatsoever, what does this mean for the nocebo effect? In short, the nocebo effect means that when we buy into and believe something (ie. cancer runs in my family, 1 in 3 people get it), we're far more likely to experience that in our life.

Many health conscious folks will argue (as I used to) that it's the additives and chemicals in processed foods, in our water and in our overall environment that's "causing" these diseases. While this may be partly true, on the other hand perhaps this is just another belief that's contributing to our health issues.

Years ago I once saw on television (might have been Ripley's Believe It Or Not) a guy put molten metal in his mouth without being harmed. Another person has eaten nothing but metal for years, like nails, and x-rays proved it. These are just a couple prime examples of the power of the mind.

We are only subject to what we buy into. Have the belief that you are untouchable. The power of the mind, when properly harnessed, overrides the physical, and this means that we no longer need to be searching for the cure. The placebo effect is the cure.

Being Positive = Truth/Love/Peace = Placebo Effect = Healthy Cells = Healthy Body

Remember, there IS only health. It alone is real.

I highly recommend:

Pro-life vs. Pro-choice: Who Cares?

With the understanding and recognition of reincarnation and the fact that we are not the body, or that Life is not confined to a body, the whole "pro-life vs. pro-choice" argument seems silly.

Nobody is ever born and nobody ever dies. Life/consciousness is neverendingly forever. By having an abortion, nobody is being harmed, nobody is losing anything and nobody is being denied of life. If consciousness doesn't enter that specific physical body, it'll simply reincarnate into a different one. No big deal. Life goes on, and it can't do anything but. The essence of Life itself is eternal. There was never a time that you weren't, and there will never be a time that you won't be.

However, nobody can really fully understand this unless they've had a "spiritual experience", out of body experience, past-life regression (hypnosis) session, or something else along these lines. And because relatively few people have had such experiences, the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate will go on and on and on... and on.

If you haven't had any such experience yourself, and you're curious about what is said here, a quick 30 second meditation session can verify this for a person. If you tell the mind to stop thinking, it starts right back up again all by itself. And if the mind is operating completely on it's own, which this simple experiment shows very clearly that it is, then you are the Silent Awareness that is watching the mind's thoughts. And if the mind isn't you, then all the physical actions that the body does, which are the direct result of the functioning mind, then none of the body's actions are "you" either. "You are not the doer of deeds" says the Hindu scriptures, the Tao Te Ching, and countless Zen Masters. Thus, you are not the body, and whether it lives or dies is ultimately irrelevant.

Here's a fun lyric from Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground...

I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach the highest ground

Dante is Daunting

I say, reading Dante is a bit daunting,
though no longer in native tongue,
the great Comedy remains haunting.

Many weeks will be spent reading,
entranced in the beauty and grace,
it urges one's soul to sing.

Though just beginning, I already sense
that words are just words,
and of value is the primal essence.

The message is timeless and true,
turning from vice, and toward virtue,
transcending inner hell are the few.

Clinging to beliefs and desires,
ruled by the mind and rarely the heart,
chasing illusions till the body expires.

Experiencing within, feelings of all sorts:
Of inferno, purgatorio or paradiso,
whatever it be, the mind distorts.

"Leave the mind behind" say the wise,
and with this I must agree.
Stay true to the heart and thou shall rise.

The heart thinks too, but not with words,
it just knows, innately, intuitively and always.
Adopting love and peace has many rewards.

When pushing on and reaching towards
a heart of perfect wisdom,
just know that your heart is the Lord's.

For years now I have been led,
and thanks to the graceful Lord in my heart
there are few illusions left to shed.

I know Dante's message before it's all read,
far from my first spiritual book,
I've almost lost my head.

Christianity, Hinduism, Taoism, Zen:
There remains little I haven't read.
Love & truth are universal, Amen.

Love That Actually Works

Love is not the emotional and physical kind that most people know it as.
Love is not a fluctuating unstable negative emotion.
Love is not greed, possession, owning, attachment, neediness, desire, infatuation, lust, craving, addiction, jealousy, anger, control, blame, guilt, or judgmentalism.
These are all selfish attributes, so it's not really love at all.
That which is selfish can't be love because love is selfless.
True happiness will never form in a relationship based on those things.
You cannot have or own another person when we are all free.

Love is good intent. Love is service. Love is selfless. Love is devotion.
Love is respect. Love is kindness. Love is compassion. Love is good will.
Love is forgiveness. Love is acceptance. Love is tolerance. Love is neutrality.
Love is unconditional. Love is non-selective. Love is all-encompassing.
Love is pure. Love is Divine. Love is Eternal.

Love is a way of being in the world.
It's the full blown radical forgiveness and acceptance of absolutely everything, as it is right now in this very moment, always.

Love is an INFINITE resource.
It cannot be exhausted or used up.
The more you give, the more you are able to give.
The more you love, the more you can, and everybody has to start with where they are right now.

Love should not be given because you expect something in return.
It is done out of selflessness (the absence of self).
It's not about getting. It's about giving with no thought of reward.
Not even a "thank you" should be needed or expected because that's neediness.
"It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Love for the sake of loving.

Neediness often pushes other people away.
Relationships "fail" because people are searching outwardly for happiness and love.
Relationships fail to work because we're trying to get, gain and obtain love.
We are meant to share and give the happiness and love that we ALREADY ARE, with others.
In doing so, it grows constantly and continuously within the one who is giving and sharing it.
Love is then experienced by being it yourself.
Love is experienced from within, which means the source of it is WITHIN, when it's chosen.
Love is not an outside source. It's already inside you.
You make love happen to yourself by loving others and by being love yourself.

We give and share the happiness and love that we are by simply BEING it.
When we choose to be it, it's automatically being shared with others.
Doesn't the energy of a room suddenly change when a particular person enters it?
"Everything is energy." It doesn't require any "doing". Just be love/peace.
In becoming a better person yourself (losing the selfish self), you will be helping all others (and yourself) in turn.

There is no longer a "special" individual to love when all is loved equally and unconditionally.
When all is equal nobody is "more important" than anybody else.
Real Love is all-encompassing.
It's not selective, choosy, picky, fussy, judgemental, or discriminatory.
Real love, when unobstructed by false individual opinions, beliefs, perceptions, thought processes and emotionalism is unconditional and non-selective, no matter what.
No matter what.

That's why this is love that actually works!
And that's the difference between Divine Love and emotional love.

Zen Biology Lesson for Enlightenment

The heart pumps blood all by itself without you doing it.
The lungs breathe air all by themselves without you doing it.
The brain associates concepts with other concepts all by itself.

The mind is thinking (randomly babbling) completely on its own.

Let's look inside for just a brief minute...
How long can you keep the mind completely silent?
If you try to stop thinking, it just starts right back up again.
Words, verbalization, thoughts, thinking, and emotionalism are completely automatic.
You can't stop it by controlling it, but you can (eventually) stop it by non-judgmentally watching it.
The brain works completely by itself.
It has nothing to do with "you" doing it.
This means that you are not the doer of deeds, nor the thinker of thoughts.
The mind/body is an "it", not a "me".

The brain's thoughts and body's actions are just the result of cells doing work.

We are not the physical body/mind and its senses.
We are not the mind and its automatic rambling thoughts.

We are the still, conceptless, silent Awareness that is aware of them.
We are the Awareness that is watching the body/mind's automatic functioning.
We are the Silent Formless Observer.
We are the Life/Consciousness/Awareness that is simply aware of Itself as existing.

We have mistakenly identified ourselves as being the physical mind/body.
We have mistakenly identified ourselves with form.
It was an erroneous belief all along.

The real "you", the Silent Aware Mind, is not confined to a brain, or anything else.
It's Infinitely Everything beyond physicality.
It's the (formless) Allness of Existence.
It's No-Thing, yet Infinitely Everything.

But thinking about that won't help you realize/experience that.
You have to stop identifying with thoughts altogether to realize that.

Meditate on This

Silence of mind precludes the thinking activities of the mind.
Stillness precludes motion.
Formlessness precludes mental concepts of form.
No-Mind dwells prior to active mind.
Voidness precludes perceptions.

The Ungraspable lies beyond knowledge.
The Non-Definable precludes definitions.
The Undetectable subsists previous to the observable.
The Unmeasurable rests beyond the reach of science.
Changeless Existence precludes evolutionary change.
Shapeless Reality precludes the physical world.
The Uncreated precludes creation.
No-Thing exists before something.
The Unborn is beyond birth and death.
The Uncaused is beyond being affected.
Essence precludes substance.
Emptiness exists prior to space.
Non-locality underlies location.
Non-duality resides beyond duality.
The All precludes individuality.
Infinity is beyond all limitations.
The Absolute lies beyond relatives/relativity.
One underlies the many.
Source is the foundation of life.
The Self precludes notions of self.

Consciousness precludes mentation.
Awakeness precedes erudition.
A subtle intuitiveness lies before notions and ideas.
An innate comprehension resides prior to intellectualizing.
Epiphanies dwell prior to conceptualizing.
Insight lies in advance of perceiving.
All-Knowing Awareness precludes thinking.

No thoughts preclude thoughts of "me", "myself", "mine", and "I".
A selfless state precludes the self.
Selflessness precludes selfish thought and behaviour.
Humility exists previous to ego, vanity, and righteousness.
Full-blown acceptance exists before the formation of judgements.
Truth dwells beyond opinions and beliefs.
Love precludes self-indulgence.
Ecstatic Bliss precludes emotions.
Ineffable Joy precludes negativity.
Profound Peace lies before "you".

Epiphanies of Awareness

Do you ever experience sudden epiphanies, brilliant ideas, flashes of insight, or moments of profound genius? If not, there's only one reason - you're too caught up in your current thought processes, ideas, views, opinions, beliefs, perceptions, concepts, associations, thinkingness, and emotions.

Let them go. You may not be aware of it, but those thoughts are a major hindrance to you. Nobody can know the truth, or the next level of truth, as long as they think they already know the truth. Get out of the way, and all the unsolved riddles, mysteries, and answers of the universe will be yours. The thought and feeling of "I don't know" (humilty and egolessness at all times) will bring about radical beneficial changes.

Get out of the way. Let go. Give up. Surrender.

And whatever you do, don't take credit for those epiphanies and brilliant ideas. You did not make them happen. They happened by themselves when the mind was out of the way. They wouldn't have happened if "you" (the mind) was still occupied with it's own so-called "truth". They happened in the absence of the mind, not because of the mind. They happened in the absence of a personal individual you. They happen completely on their own without a person doing it intentionally. In fact, the mind's intentions, wishes, goals, dreams, neediness, wants, and controlism are keeping epiphanies at bay.

So, drop all intentions. Including that of experiencing epiphanies. All-knowingness comes as a result of inner silence. Silence is All-knowing.

What are epiphanies? It's the real "you" shining through. The real "you" is the All-Knowing Silent Awareness that shines forth when that which is in the way, is out of the way.

Get out of the way. Let go. Give up. Surrender.

God is Formless

When you experience something, can words and descriptions even come close to doing it justice when explaining it to somebody else? Of course not.

Nobody can deny that the experience of Love is beyond all words.

As far as Silence is concerned, it's the absence of mental activity, and therefore, Silence is also beyond all manmade symbols, concepts, ideas, perceptions, thoughts, words, and form.

Awareness/God/Divinity/Reality/Love/Truth/Peace is shapeless, formless, timeless, and beyond physicality altogether.

The Bible says repeatedly that "God/Spirit/Divinity" is "unseen", Buddhism says that "Buddha/Reality/Awareness/Absolute" is "formless" and "void", and Hinduism says that Brahman/Atman/Self is "unmanifested".

Considering that none of our ancient texts were originally written in English anyway, there is certainly no point in nitpicking about which English words are used. Those who have silenced the mind permanently (Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Zen Masters, Plotinus, etc.) all speak of, and teach, the exact same thing.

All concepts, perceptions, ideas, notions, images, thought processes, thinking, neural functioning, and mental associations of the mind fall short of the Truth of Reality. The intellect, and science, are simply the wrong tools for the job. They can only take us so far in the search for understanding the nature of Truth/Reality/Universe/Existence. We can't know formlessness by means of using form. That's like trying to figure out the weight a rock by using a ruler that measures distance. It can't be done.

The Infinite Reality of Love is always present, and the simple fact is that this is in actuality, our true nature. All that is necessary to discover this for oneself is to remove the barriers (the thinkingness of the mind) that stand in the way, because Existence/Reality/Truth/God/Love already is what it is, and it has nothing to do with the mind's perceptions of it.

But, if your mind has a hangup about which word is used in describing that which is beyond words, this information is perhaps not for you at this time. Or if you're not wanting to put things to practice for yourself in order to discover the truth, again, this information may not currently be for you.

God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. - I John 4:16
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. - St. John 14:20

"Only awake to the One Mind and there is nothing whatever to be attained. This pure Mind, the source of everything, shines forever and on all with the brilliance of its own perfection. But the people of the world do not awake to it, regarding only that which sees, hears, feels and knows as mind.... If they would only eliminate all conceptual thought in a flash, that source-substance would manifest itself like a sun." - Huang Po

It's All Me

The law of attraction means that my life is utterly and completely...
a dream of self creation,
a forming of the inner,
a mirage of thinking,
a hologram of awareness,
an illusion of perceptions,
a reflection of consciousness,
a mirror of mind,
a manifestation of thoughts,
an actualization of opinions,
an expression of beliefs,
a culmination of values,
an impression of ideas,
a materialization of views,
an unfolding of outlooks,
an arrival of dispositions,
a symptom of attitudes,
a reproduction of emotions,
an echo of feelings,
a symbol of personality,
a representation of character,
an appearing of traits,
a display of attributes,
an unveiling of integrity,
a shining back of conduct,
a bouncing back of karma,
a fabrication of free will,
a balancing of choices,
an unfolding of destiny,
a returning of intent,
me,
oneself.

And yes, a thesaurus was used to help write this. :)

All-Knowing Awareness

Why do people sometimes experience profound sudden epiphanies in moments of inner quietude? Because Silence is All-Knowing. And what would happen if we were to stop thinking and conceptualizing altogether? Yep, you guessed it... Pure Formless All-Knowing Awareness would shine forth.

But that would mean that the intellect is a huge limitation. It would mean that all knowledge is redundant. It would mean that words and thoughts are worthless. It would mean that opinions, beliefs, views, and perceptions are pointless.

Are we able to accept that? For All-Knowing Awareness, one has to.

Cellular Identification

The body is a collective community of individually living cells that are all co-operating together to make a larger whole. The brain, and its thoughts and thinking are just another part of that overall cellular functioning. So if the mind and body are working all by themselves as a result of cells doing work, why do we identify the mind's thoughts and the body's actions as being "me"? Are we the mind and body, or are we the Energy/Life/Consciousness/Awareness within the body that is aware of Itself and the body/mind's automatic functioning? Are we the doer and thinker, or are we the Silent Observer?

Out of being identified with the body/mind, we are being controlled by it. We are enslaved by it because we falsely identify it as being "me". Oops!

The Placebo Effect

The placebo effect: A powerful well established scientific truth.

It means: What we focus on, we receive. What is held in mind, manifests. Wherever attention goes, energy flows. What we resist, will persist.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to be aware of cancer (or any other disease). I want to be aware of health.
I don't know about you, but I don't want to be fighting cancer (or any other disease). I want to be embracing health.

Perhaps it's time to change our way of thinking and acting?

Disease is the Absence of Health

Health is the body's natural state of being when the cells aren't subjected to (physical and/or emotional) stress.

The simple truth is that if we fix the cells, EVERYTHING else is fixed because the body IS a community of cells. Even the genes inside the cells turn on and off according to their environment (nutrients & energy). It's the cells that take the various building blocks of life (nutrients) and together in a co-operative manner make the body the whole functioning thing that it is. If we don't give the cells what they need, and subject them to what they don't want, the body of course fails at its overall optimal functioning.


http://www.thetruthaboutfoodandhealth.com/nutritionawarenessribbons.html

When we allow the body to heal ITSELF with proper nutrition and positive peaceful emotions, it's very important to understand that the body can't create an entire body's worth of all new cells in one day. It's called a "degenerative disease" because it developed over time, and because disease doesn't suddenly happen in one day, it doesn't disappear in one day either.

Dieting isn't supposed to be something that one does temporarily. The body requires regular maintenance and care on a daily basis because the body is quite literally made of what nutrients (or lack thereof) that goes into it every single day. "Health is a habit, not an event."

People think they catch a cold or flu because of somebody else that had it, but in actuality, our own immune system was weak and susceptible to that illness because of our own negative lifestyle choices (which are based on unawareness).

Just as giving the cells ALL the nutrients that they need in the first place will prevent disease from happening, giving the cells ALL the nutrients that they need will also cure disease after the fact.

Nutrition Awareness Ribbons

For anybody that has come to the simple understanding that the human body is a self-healing mechanism when honored, respected, and cared for, and that it can heal itself of virtually anything when stressful negatives are let go of and positives adopted, the many different disease awareness ribbons themselves show just how unaware many people really are. For those who understand the enormous importance of proper organic whole food nutrition, there are new Nutrition Awareness car magnets just for you!


http://www.thetruthaboutfoodandhealth.com/nutritionawarenessribbons.html

"Let food be your medicine, let medicine be your food." - Hippocrates, The Father of Medicine

The "search for the cure" is actually quite futile because the cure already exists, and it always has. There is nothing new about health, it has been around forever. Natural organic nutrition, and life sustaining energy, have been around for millennia. Organic nutrition has been supporting life since life began. The problem is that we humans have altered our foods into completely unnatural things with molecular structures that aren't even compatible with an organic system (the human body/cells). The cells that make up the body are then put under stress because they can't cope with the vast amount of unnatural things we continue to dump into our systems on a daily basis, and all matters of various diseases are the result.

Out of unawareness, we expect our cells to somehow suddenly be able to cope with things, that for millions of years previously, they had never before encountered. The continuously rising level of various degenerative diseases (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.) in North America show very clearly that the highly processed, altered, and modified foods in our grocery stores, and countless chemical toxins, are simply not compatible with the cells of our bodies.

Since man and his environment evolved together, they are perfectly compatible with each other. It's a symbiotic relationship. Man does not exist separate from his environment. He is wholly and completely one with it. Manmade synthetics have been shown repeatedly to not be properly compatible with the cells that make up the body (drugs make healthy people sick). To be properly compatible with the cells/body, nutrients need to contain carbon, be carbon-bond, be wrapped in carbon, or in other words, be organic. This carbon-bond quality is the product of photosynthesis by plants. Organic material is something that has been (purely) derived from something living.

Virtually every degenerative disease, physical or mental, is the result of just one thing... STRESS on the body's cells. If cells are stressed out, naturally they will malfunction, and that equates to disease. The 3 things that put stress on the cells of the body are "toxins", a nutrient deficiency, and negative emotions. Whether it's a backache, headache, high blood pressure, various cancers, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, alzheimer's, or pretty much anything else, it doesn't really matter... it's all cellular dysfunction due to stress on the cells of the body.

Nobody Becomes Enlightened

There is no conflict. You are ALREADY the Awareness that is aware of the mind and it's thinkingness, you always have been, and you always will be, even when you're identified with thoughts and thinking. Just like the sun is ALWAYS there even when clouds are covering it. If you are ALREADY formless unmanifested all-encompassing all-knowing Awareness beyond words and concepts, then there is absolutely NOTHING to get, grasp, gain, or obtain. You are ALREADY utterly whole, complete, and perfect, and there is nothing to search for, not even Enlightenment. You are already That. There is only Self-Awareness, the awareness of oneself as Infinitely Everything beyond physicality. But don't try to imagine this with the mind because it can't be done. Just get out of the way and lose "yourself". Get out of the way. Let go. Give up. Surrender.

In fact, this whole writing process is the consequence of silence, surrendering, allowing, waiting, listening, "receiving", intuition, epiphanies, being, and knowing. It has nothing to do with the intellect/ego/mind, and if on occasion it does, then something has gone wrong.

Enlightenment by Love/Truth

How does Enlightenment Happen? First off, you (the mind) doesn't ever make it happen. It happens by ITSELF when all concepts of the mind are let go of, when the very energy behind thinking is let go of, when all wantingness and neediness is let go of, and when not even Enlightenment is sought after.

1. This can be done by the completely unconditional and radical forgiveness and acceptance of absolutely EVERYTHING, as it is right now in this very moment, always. This is the path of nonjudgemental acceptance, forgiveness, Love, compassion, and selflessness. If there's full blown acceptance of absolutely everything as it is, then there's nothing to judge, nothing to describe, nothing to define, nothing to talk about, nothing to express an opinion about, no thing to make into something, nothing to express a belief about, nothing to search for, nothing to manipulate, nothing to change, nothing to force, and there's nothing to think about at all. Everything just IS, nothing more, and one sees the absolute perfection and beauty in everything because everything and everyone is currently operating at it's own level of awareness and/or evolution. Everyone and everything is what it is right now because that's what it needs to learn, or un-learn. They REALLY DON"T know otherwise, or they don't want to know otherwise. If they REALLY knew otherwise, they would be otherwise.

2. Enlightenment can also happen by way of wisdom/Truth/mindfulness/Awareness, which involves non-effort, loss of interest in all thinking and thoughts, and letting go constantly and continuously. Watching the mind does not mean concentration or effort because concentrating is something that the ego/mind does. Nothing can be forced to happen, as force is the nature of the ego/mind. As soon as you watch thoughts, they dissapear. If you try to fight thoughts, you give them more strength because focus and energy is being put into fighting and conflict, which is again, a thing of the mind.

Awareness is the Only Reality

Essentially, you are not the mind and body of change (relative truth). You are the still, silent, unchanging Absolute; the Awareness that is aware of the mind and it's comings and goings, when a deliberate point of being aware of it is made. Watch the mind. That Awareness is changeless, timeless, shapeless, formless, and infinitely eternal. It has no beginning or end.

If you're able to watch the mind, then you are not the mind. How many minds do you have? Are you the mind, or are you the observer watching the mind? Only one of them is real. Just like the heart or lungs, the ego/mind is going and going all by itself. In other words, you are not the thinker of thoughts. Take 5 minutes to watch the mind and see for yourself. You can't control it. You can't stop it by controlling it, but you can stop it by watching it and losing interest in it. You are not the body and it's senses. You are not the mind and it's thoughts. You are the infintely silent Awareness that is aware of them. One is not subject to the countless faulty workings of the ego/mind when one stops identifying the automatic random repetitive thoughts of the mind as being "me". The very nature of the ego/mind can be summed up in one word... DRAMA. And what is drama? It's the absence of peace (of mind).

"Every phenomena that exists is a creation of thought; therefore I need but empty my mind to discover that all of them are void." - Huang Po, Zen Master

Enlightenment is Not...

Enlightenment is NOT the development of psychic abilities, is not astral travelling, is not channeling entities, is not a temporary trance state, is not an artificially induced altered state of consciousness, it has nothing to do with "new age" anything, it doesn't involve the past or the future, it doesn't belong to any one specific religion, it doesn't involve conspiracy theories, it has nothing to do with UFO's or aliens, it doesn't involve so-called "ascended masters", it doesn't involve playing with the law of attraction (karma), it doesn't involve visualization, it has nothing to do with vibrations or energy, it has nothing to do with science, it doesn't involve sex (tantra), it has nothing to do with crystals, colors, or vortexes, and it certainly doesn't involve codes, mysteries, or "secrets" of ANY kind. The surreal is not real. There's a reason that Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Plotinus, Lao Tzu, Muhammad, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargardatta Maharaj, Meister Eckhart, and many Zen Masters never taught any of these things. Some of these things are outright false and harmful, others are just simply irrelevant to personal growth, and some of these are quite beneficial to the average person, but when it comes down to Enlightenment, every last bit of everything needs to be un-learned and let go of.

Reality (Awareness) with a captial "R" has no shape or form whatsoever, and is beyond ALL intellectual concepts. The real Truth is eternal and changeless. It has always been relevant, and it always will be. Real spirituality involves bettering ONSESELF by ways of selflessness/Love and higher levels of awareness/truth that help us LET GO of concepts and thoughts because it's concepts and thoughts that obstruct peace (of mind). Spirituality is not the introduction of even more concepts, unless those concepts help us let go of concepts. Peace of mind is silence of mind. Which means that thoughts, thinking, perceptions, views, attitudes, emotions, concepts, opinions, beliefs, and attachments are the source of suffering. Many people say "I wouldn't want to live life without my emotions or thinking" (and that's okay if it's okay with them), but they don't realize that's the ego/mind talking, and if one were even for a brief moment to personally experience exquisite, ineffable, and profound Peace/Silence, one would certainly no longer hold that point of view.

"The less one thinks the more delightful life becomes." - David Hawkins

No Secrets

In actuality, there are no secrets. The truth reveals ITSELF when we stop thinking we already know it (humility & surrender). Absolute Truth reveals itself when we stop thinking and conceptualizing altogether. No matter what level of truth we currently live/are, it's a complete illusion that it's the highest one. Because Awareness is Infinity, the evolution of becoming Self-Aware is also infinite. "Throughout history, mankind has been impressed with the state of enlightenment, but from the viewpoint of the ultimate possibility of God, it is only a beginning." - David Hawkins

"The part always has a tendency to reunite with its whole in order to escape from its imperfection." - Leonardo DaVinci
