Anything has two meanings. What I give and what I get. What I give is what books tell me. What I get is when I let the thing itself reveal its meaning. Meditation is the method for getting.

Self deception is a preference for being spared the truth. Don't foist truth on me. I have truth already and it is is working for me. Don't speak the t-word in my presence. I am good thanks. Leave me be in this lovely little bubble. Leo stated the truth on his blog today concerning what is philosophy. Almost all don't want to entertain it. Allow me to wallow in self-deception. I have wife and kids to feed and I don't have the bandwidth for dream-smashing philosophy thanks.

Desire and lack are inherent to all in the world; they are inescapable. Accept all that you desire as normal and natural. At the same time accept that you are the dreamer not the dreamed. Your character can do all it wishes and you are unaffected. Keep reminding yourself this until it is the default. This is the awakened state. Now you can do anything and enjoy it yet not be attached. Whether you do it or do not do it, all is perfectly fine. You are beyond all this.

These all are real since there is one mind. Yet they can easily become distractions in making one seem special. That can keep one shackled in illusion. Illusion isn't life's purpose. Might be okay as a post-awakening play-thing especially if it might help someone else. A nice to have not have to have.

To experience gain or to experience loss is the same. One gains, another loses. One day is gain, another day is loss. The way to gain is to give. To give is to receive. The world cannot make you happy. Yet you can make the world happy. Give. Then your store-house increases and you are made happy. Each person and each moment is you. To give all is to gain all for you do everything to yourself.

The absolute implies no choice. There is one thing, one way, what is. Only the relative admits choice. To mess with the perfection since it knows better than best.

Evil is wanting to separate from what is. There are 2 problems. You cannot. What is, is all there is. Okay well let's just imagine it then. Second problem is the price of separation - suffering. You won't be happy full time. If you are happy full time, you haven't separated. Separation brings about evil. Thank goodness it's just imagination. But not so great when you're in the midst and can't get out. How do you get out? You do the work. Unimagine what you imagined. Deny the tree you see with your eyes exists. It does not exist outside imagination. So deny it and affirm what is - what is actually there. Thus undo every separation device. Retrain perception so it becomes automatic. The imagined universe dissolves.

Self help and self halt. The 10 commandments is the former - you do good to me and I'll do good to you. Won't get you anywhere.

Suffering is sub-optimal. Allowable but unnecessary. A problem easily fixable. The world isn't suffering. It is the seer of suffering. The seer needs to correct his perception. That is the work. And the miracle is this: when you no longer see suffering, you no longer feel suffering! Why? Because the world is you - tadaa! So now you will abide in peace and not have to go through lifetimes of suffering. You merged back to the whole. Manifestation is now enjoyed, no longer endured. The puzzle of life solved and everyone happy. Everyone will reach eventually. Reality approves of bliss not blight. Drop the blight and see the light. That's the whole game.

First note that time doesn't exist. In reality, everything is good and true and right. Reality being unlimited of course allows the experience of limits. Limits are finite, illusory and time-based. The plan is to enjoy experience but know how to pull the escape chord when you please. You can pull it this second. You don't want to however. Assemble the knowledge to pull the chord when you do want to. To stay here in misery is senseless and unnecessary. God's plan is that he has given an escape plan.

Reality IS completely understandable because I am it and I extend it through love. Indeed everything is the same so understanding this is understanding everything. But here ISN'T reality and so can't be in any way understandable. Since if you understand it, it's reality. How do I know here isn't reality? Because death, disease and devilry are all pervasive. Reality on the other hand is perfection unbounded.

You were doing it all to yourself. But just as readily you can undo it and be whole. This is the work. There is no bad. And there is no good. These were imposed interpretation which blocked the luminous reality from shining forth. Correction is possible and available every moment.

Those scientists are living pipe dreams. Nothing here is true. Everything is false. Every theory merely has temporary validity. Everything falls apart given time. I am talking about realization not understanding.

It's a nightmare and the seeker's task is to set it aside so that it is no longer bothersome. Then the manifestation will be perfectly joyful. Previously you were wholly mistaken concerning what is in front of you. Now you have corrected your perception and see perfection and beauty everywhere. Suffering is optional; happiness was is and always will be forever once the apparent error of suffering is dropped.

I make a distinction between understanding and realizing. The former is a finite mind trying to master the world at its fingers. It is impossible. Here is chaos and confusion and no sense or solution can be found. Science for example is one big dead end. Realizing is from not-knowing and is beyond mind and reveals mysteries and marvels in everything.
