The Buddha
"Our theories of the eternal are as valuable as are those which a chick which has not broken its way through its shell might form of the outside world. "

Ramana Maharshi
"Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it."
"The state of pure being, which is common to all and which is always experienced directly by everybody, is one's true nature."
"Realization is for everyone; realization makes no difference between the aspirants."
"Realization is equally accessible to everyone, irrespective of their physical circumstances."

"The natural state is never lost.
It is not an appearance, and therefore it can never disappear.
It is always the same.
It is not an entity."
The End of Spiritual Seeking
When the end of seeking occurs the need and impulse to acquire further 'answers' dissolves.
When the end of spiritual searching occurs the urge to read more spiritual books, go to more satsangs, go to more retreats, find exciting new teachers or get the latest from a particular teacher, is not there any more.
You will know when the end of seeking occurs. This one is not difficult.
You know that it has ended. You notice that you are not seeking any more.
It is not like trying to work out whether you are enlightened, or self-realized, or if you have become 'awake'.
To know that you have stopped seeking, you do not have to read a book or ask someone if it has happened.
It is simple and it is obvious.
There are no esoteric concepts to deal with. Not something you can take as an achievement.
The end of spiritual seeking occurs when you have realized what you have been looking for has been there all along.
The end of seeking occurs when you have realized that you are not the one you thought you were.
But maybe, the first thing you notice, some time later, is that the seeking has ended.
And the suffering has ended too.
What follows on these pages takes as its starting point the following.
NonDuality. Oneness. One without a second, unequivocally.
All is Consciousness/Awareness and all Objects appear in That.
(Objects meaning - the world, thoughts etc)
The age old spiritual quest is to find out who you really are.
Finding out who/what you are and who/what you are not is the single focus of this website.
We as humans have a self image - a mental structure that defines our nature and while we are still quite young we come to believe that the self image is more than just an image - it is our actual nature.
The self image is variable - one day it might be positive and the next day, or even an hour later, or a minute later it might be very very negative. When the image is very negative and it is referring to 'me' it can cause a great deal of suffering.
The self image, the ego, is composed only of thoughts - there is no aliveness there at all and no awareness either. Just thoughts. There is no 'me' there at all.
A collection of thoughts about our nature is not the same as the actuality of our nature just as a description of a car is not the same as an actual car. The description of a wash is not the same as an actual wash. The description of a wonderful holiday is not the same as actually experiencing a wonderful holiday.
There is an aliveness to the actuality - it exists now. The description, by contrast, is made up of components all of which belong to the past.
The description is not the thing - and the self image is a description. Whether the description is accurate or inaccurate is not the issue - the description is not what is being described, the real, the actual. Believing that a self image ('good', 'bad' or 'indifferent') encapsulates your true nature is believing a fiction.
We exist, we are aware and we are alive. Our aliveness, the certainly of our existence and the knowledge that we are aware is directly experienced by everyone. Our true nature is the Aliveness that we are, which is also described as Awareness, Consciousness or Presence-Awareness.
In believing the fiction that the self image, the ego, comprises our true nature and IS our true nature we apparently lose touch with the depth our true nature - after all the 'thing' that we are identifying with does not have any Aliveness at all - it is a false dead image from the past. And we suffer.
Seeing the false as false (we are not who we think we are) enables the re-cognition of our true nature - which has actually been there all along.
This is the spiritual quest - find out who you really are and find out who you are not.
It is all in the SEEing.
Words, descriptions, beliefs or convictions are not enough.
Only SEEing the actual will do.

Ramana Maharshi
"The state of Self-realisation, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been.
All that is needed is that you give up your realisation of the not-true as true."
The Buddha
"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."
You are what observes, not what you observe.
Buddha-Nature exists in everyone..... Buddha-Nature can not be lost or destroyed."
Nisargadatta Maharaj - 01.jpg" alt="Nisargadatta" width="150" height="180" />
Nisargadatta Maharaj
"The way to truth lies through the destruction of the false."
"The seeker is he who is in search of himself... To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not."
Wei Wu Wei
"What we are looking for ... is what is looking"
"Why are you unhappy?
Because 99.9 per cent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself.
And there isn't one."

Nisargadatta
"What you hear must enter you like an arrow and hit something deep within you."
