Unlimited Seamlessness

Sheer perfection - language appears; light and effortless, within & as the natural unfolding of what is. Words come and go, touching lightly and vanishing without a trace, neither obscuring nor dividing.

They simply appear, move, and dissolve with intrinsic ease like clear ripples of still water. Even the word “presence” may seem tied to time or place, yet presence itself is simply this - pure innocence - aware, present, here, now.

The sense of rigidity or fixed meaning or narrative, might appear - and even this is not apart. It flows seamlessly as presence, arising and dissolving within & as the wholeness that is, untouched by the very language arising effortlessly without itself.

Concepts and words drift through the world-sphere as effortlessly as light of a screen. Some appear briefly and dissolve without weight, while others may linger, seemingly solid. Yet, grounding in presence - non-aversion reveals true weightlessness. Nothing truly held, nothing taking root. Again & again anew - self-revelation; always here, always now, ever-patient, abundantly available, lending the freedom of itself, to itself, as itself.

Integrity, in truth, is not something one could strive for or ever obtain. It is the quiet, steady, simple wholeness of what is - unbreakable; seamlessly complete. Ease doesn’t come through effort, but rather - the resonance of allowing. Even resistance, if it appears, is none other than the flow of love. Simply allowed, softening and dissolving all, revealing again & again it’s ever-present ease.

Language too, moves like wind across a still lake. It truly neither adds nor subtracts, obscures nor reveals. Its meanings arising, shifting and fading, appearing and dissolving effortlessly, never leaving, never creating any actual division or gap. Language is not a limitation; it is a gentle appearance pointing lightly, dissolving easily, and always reflecting the infinite nature it arises within.

All that appears - language, thoughts, sensations - arises within and as the wholeness of what is, without separation or effort. The lens and the world are not two; they unfold as one seamless arising, appearing and dissolving naturally, beautifully, perfectly and effortlessly.

Grounded in feeling, reality reveals itself to itself - whole, complete, and free. There is no search, no grasping, no becoming. Wholeness is not elsewhere; it is here, now - simple, clear, undeniable.

Order of Appearance

I create by being; somewhere and someway - world-sphere and lens-sphere.

I have to be the world-sphere first - appearance-wise, not time-wise.

Be, as in timelessly appear, as I am eternal.

I could not create - be the world-sphere - if already veiled by being the lens-sphere.

Veiling myself of my infinitude by being the lens-sphere, it seems like I am of or in - the world-sphere.

As I seem to be a body of or inside a universe, there seem to be other bodies of or inside a universe - as well.

The Haunted House

The Haunted House

This is a bit like a haunted house.

If you’ve ever been in one, you know it’s completely voluntary.

No one forced you to go. You went because you wanted to -
for the excitement, the anticipation, the thrill.

It’s quite fun.

Until it isn’t.

The anxiety, the fear, the trepidation, the terror.

But you didn’t sign up for that, right?

Now turn on the lights. Take off the masks. Shut off the fog machine.

What’s left to fear?

What remains that’s terrifying?

Anything scary about clear light, no masks, no fog?

Of course not.

It’s just thought - light - making it seem so.

The whole point of a haunted house is the darkness, the masks, the fog. Without that, it wouldn’t be much of a haunted house.

So boring, in fact, you’d probably want your money back.

What a ripoff.

So if it seems scary, exhausting, overwhelming -
bring thought to rest.

Allow it to settle naturally, without running from feeling.

In that stillness, dive deep - deeper than deep - into what is so unthinkably perfect, so infinitely loving, so unimaginably creative...

That ‘it’ can even appear as, a real haunted house.

Aversion

When a hand is inadvertently placed on a hot stove, the guidance of pain is felt.

In accordance with feeling, intelligence & guidance; the hand is removed from the stove.

Feeling, intelligence & guidance aren’t conceptualized, philosophized, believed to be existential, complex, known, understood, debatable, definable, justifiable or labelled in any way. Feeling, intelligence & guidance are simply listened to as it were.

Just as pain is guidance, emotion is guidance.

To mentally avert away from the guidance of emotion is to conceptualize & label, emotion.

Aversion sounds like me, my, mine, I’m, I know, I understand, you, you don’t know, you don’t understand, you’re lacking this or that, etc.

Aversion is a game of shuffling three cups while there is no peanut. It’s believing arising justifications & rationalizations to believe emotions aren’t experienced, or that emotions have a cause or are caused.

If & when aversion occurs, it’s in spite of the discord or suffering felt, and the point is true liberation of suffering.

Aversion is the mental activity of labelling, conceptualizing, defending, arguing, justifying & rationalizing - in an attempt to feel better, while the mental activity is the aversion from feeling, and is what’s felt.

Perpetuation of aversion is ‘continuing to focus’ on discordant outlooks, thoughts, beliefs & interpretations, in spite of the fact discord, or, suffering - is felt.

Aversion can obscure the relief and clarity of expression, inspection, and self-discovery.

When focus shifts away from presently experienced habitual thinking, the body relaxes naturally, releasing the tension that often accompanies aversion.

By focusing on the sensation of breathing in the stomach, the mind begins to clear, and with that clarity, discord also fades. This is akin to ‘taking your hand off the stove’ - a metaphor for listening to natural, intrinsic guidance.

In the absence of aversion, the true nature arises effortlessly, ‘filling you up’ like helium to a balloon.

Free and unburdened, awareness naturally expands.

The Feeling of Being Me

This is the only worthwhile inquiry.

A thought is a thought. Thought is apparent. Thought appears, and disappears.

Meaning, purpose, worth and value are thoughts, beliefs, and thoughts are apparent.

The me which knows there is purpose, value, worth and meaning - is a thought, conditioning, a belief.

The feeling of being me is not a thought, and is not apparent.

The feeling of being me will not be any thought.

So the muddy puddle must be stilled.

The puddle is the feeling of being me.

It is pure; to the contrary of apparent mud.

Those who would seemingly muddy the puddle with the dogma of meaning, worth, value and purpose, are they themselves - mud.

The ego is not your teacher, the ego is mud.

Worth, worthiness and unworthiness - are apparent thoughts, mud.

Value, my values, our values and what is value - is the mud obscuring the true nature of the water.

Meaning, what this means, what that means, what I mean, what you meant, what’s meant and what he, she, him, her, us or they mean - is mud.

Purpose, such as my purpose, my life purpose, the purpose of being born or the purpose of life - are mud.

Your name, is mud.

Your age, sexual orientation, gender, desires & preferences - are mud.

Your creating, what you have or will or could create - is mud.

Your very life - is mud.

This screen, these words, that there is an inquiry - is mud.

You, are mud.

Your brain is mud.

Your body is mud.

Your intellect and psychology - are mud.

Everything you know, learn, figure out, realize, understand, all your insights, epiphanies, breakthroughs & awakenings - are mud.

The feeling of being me is not mud.

Under-standing Loneliness, Isolation, Depression & Rejection

Loneliness, isolation and depression is about ‘the me’, isn’t it so?

I’m lonely. I feel lonely. I’m so alone. I’m tired of this loneliness.

I feel isolated. Reality, the world, these people or this environment - is so isolating.

I’m depressed. I feel depressed. I’m in a depression. Why am I depressed.

They rejected me, he rejected me, she rejected me.

Thoughts, yes?

But what is the feeling of - being ‘me’?

Well, the feeling of being ‘me’, is not another thought - on behalf of, ‘the me’.

The feeling of being ‘me’ is not about, ‘me’, but is about - being.

The feeling, of being.

What is the actual direct experience of understanding?

Can understanding be pointed to?

Is understanding found ‘in’ perception?

Is understanding found ‘in’ sensation, ‘in’ feeling?

Is understanding a concept, a conceptualizing of direct experience, an obscuring or veiling - via the feeling of being ‘me’, appearing as the activity of thinking about - understanding?

My understanding, your understanding, our understanding, their understanding, his understanding, her understanding.

Where is it?

What is there for an infinite being to understand?

But he doesn’t understand ‘me’!

She never understands ‘me’!

For it to seem there is other than infinite being, such as experience, infinite being must appear as said experience, and veil itself from that it is, appearing. Without the veiling, there would not seem to be, ‘not me’, or, ‘experience’. With veiling, there seems to be ‘experience’ - ‘not me’ - and therein, ‘the me’ which is not, ‘experience.

Infinite being appears as experience, by appearing as somewhere experience appears to transpire. Understood as earth, a universe, multiverse, planet, or this room.

Infinite being veils itself of it’s own infinitude & unconditionality by appearing as someway to ‘experience’, the somewhere it’s appearing as. Understood as being a person, a human, body or self.

Appearing as this ‘lens of perception’, there seems to be finite - ‘thoughts’.

Infinite being - pure infinite unconditional innocence - believes these ‘thoughts’, and veils via a finite separate identity made of, apparent thoughts.

The one who knows, the one who understands.

The “finite”, “separate self”, for which there is “something else” or “someone else” which could understand, or be understood.

But perception & sensation as it were, tell a different story, by not telling a story at all.

Being is simply being, appearing.

That which is appearance, is appearance.

That which is illusory, is illusory.

That which is being, is being.

The Simplicity of Being

Retreats, seeking understanding, psychedelic experiences, spiritual concepts (“teachings”), books, videos, peak experiences, glimpses, revelations, epiphanies, and insights - all great, but the truth reveals itself in startling simplicity: it has always been here. No journey, practice, or experience ever truly added to what is; they merely pointed to the ever-present awareness that is me.

Meditatively, this is clear.

Sitting quietly each morning, the mind churns with thoughts of past, future, concerns and questions. At first, these thoughts seem overwhelming, as if they need to be sorted or resolved, as if there is much to fix, improve, increase or be worked on. But resting, ‘these’ are seen for what they are: conditioned patterns, fleeting movements with no substance of their own. They arise, persist for a moment, and inevitably dissolve.

It’s not about controlling, suppressing, vilifying, or praising thoughts - it’s about allowing ‘them’ to appear and pass, without resistance or attachment. And in this allowing, something profound happens - thought begins to rest. The activity of thinking, which once seemed so vital, significant or important - naturally just subsides. In its place, a quiet stillness emerges. This stillness isn’t new; it’s the background that has always been, unnoticed.

Meditation is the answer, but not as a practice or technique. It’s the meditative realization that the awareness in which everything unfolds is the answer. This awareness isn’t something to attain or become - it’s ‘who’ I already am. The transient thoughts, emotions, and experiences come and go, but awareness remains - untouched, unchanging, and unconditional.

There’s a subtle distinction: to be aware of thoughts as transient is one thing, to notice their arising and passing. But to allow thought itself to rest is deeper. It’s not an act of doing but an effortless being, where ‘the mind’ - the activity of thought - no longer fueled by identification or effort, is still.

In & as that stillness - the simplicity of being reveals itself fully.

Reification

“Life is a journey” - a series of steps toward something greater.

Yet this idea of a “journey” is a subtle way the mind shifts from presence into thought, creating a sense of movement or distance where, in direct experience, there is none.

Overlooking “This”

In truth, there’s nothing to journey toward; there’s only this immediate, seamless, whole experience. The concept of a journey implies an arrival, but any destination is just another presently experienced thought, layered onto presence. Even in the ‘background’ - the idea of a journey or purpose inherently adds a sense of lack, a belief that a fulfillment or something better is being created or lies just out of reach.

This “journey” isn’t an actual path; it’s an abstraction - a way the mind overlays or obscures the reality of direct experience. The simplicity of This doesn’t need progress, growth, or unfolding; it just inherently is, as it is. Whether through personal growth, political change, or collective evolution, each story layer only seems to separate what’s already whole, perpetuating the search for “better”, in an illusion of beyond This.

Reification in Action: Politics, Evolution, and Relationships

In politics, - a narrative of a journey toward an ideal society. Each campaign, ideology, or movement seems like a step toward a better world or life, yet these ideas are just conceptualizations - aversion from, and not direct engagement with reality. This view misses the interconnectedness already present, reducing life to labels and agendas, reinforcing separation and an illusory identity therein - and though perhaps unseen… this is felt nonetheless.

Similarly, the concept of “human progress” suggests a journey toward something higher. Yet this notion of advancement shifts focus from the immediate miracle of life, from direct experience, to an imagined path. These interpretations add layers of meaning & purpose to what is already unfolding as direct experience - creating the illusion of a world or universe “beyond” it.

In relationships, too, the idea of “working toward” an ideal connection creates a subtle but illusory separation. Rather than directly allowing and experiencing connection, ideas of growth or improvement are clung to, as if relating is something to be achieved rather than simply & presently lived & fully enjoyed.

Why Reification Arises

Reification arises from the mind’s craving for structure, purpose and explanation, imposing ‘order’ & causation upon what’s already naturally free. The journey narrative offers a sense of control, continuity and coherence - for the presumed separate self of the very same apparent activity of thought. This ‘looping-drive’ reflects a constant overlooking of simplicity, a subtle move to make the boundless feel manageable by mentally, conceptually, dividing it into parts or steps.

Living Without the Journey

Seeing through the illusion of the journey reveals that no path, progression, or destination can add to or take away from what already is.

Living without the journey allows each experience as it were - to be just as it is - free from ideas or narratives of progress or lack. Here, frameworks and paths lose their weight. Pressure, urgency, expectation and a sense of confinement and the resistance felt therein - naturally fall away. Everything simply arises and dissolves within the same presence - enjoyed as it is, unburdened by becoming or achieving.

To live without the journey is to rest in the immediacy of & as oneself, the gentle, pure freedom of being, free from concepts of beginning, end, or in-between. Nothing is ever missing; only the fullness of This remains, whole and unbroken.

Under-standing Fear

Fear is illusory.

How can this be true, and why does fear seem so real?

Infinite, unconditional Being - the consciousness presently aware - appears as two spheres: a somewhere-sphere and a someway-sphere. Through this appearance, experience seems to arise.

The somewhere-sphere is the appearance of somewhere - indoors, outdoors, in a library, a prison cell, a world, or a universe. Wherever being seems to be, that’s the somewhere-sphere, which is Being’s own essence.

The someway-sphere acts as a lens that veils the infinite nature of Being. Through this lens, the somewhere-sphere appears finite, creating the illusion of separation. But in truth, no separation exists.

Why does Being appear as the someway-sphere?

Because Being is self-aware. As Being manifests as the somewhere-sphere, it remains aware that no true separation occurs. Without the someway-sphere's lensing, there wouldn’t seem to be any experience at all - Being would simply be aware that the somewhere-sphere is itself.

So why does fear feel so real?

Feeling is real because it is an expression of Being. Separation, however, is not real - it’s an illusion.

The someway-sphere, like a lens, makes infinite Being seem finite, much like a magnifying glass makes something appear larger without changing its true nature. Through this lens, separation only seems to exist, and with it, the illusion of fear.

Fear arises when it seems like there is something separate to protect or lose. But this division - the believed split between what is and what is imagined - is illusory.

It’s like fearing a monster in the closet. The fear feels real because consciousness is real. The thoughts feel “off” because, in reality, there is no monster.

Infinite, unconditional Being is the reality beneath, as in appearing as, movement - whether standing, sitting, or walking. Hence, Being is ‘under’, standing. This movement, this energy which is Being, in motion, is emotion. Being is ‘under’ - appearing as the ‘standing’; this present motion or movement - life.

Fear is simply emotion - felt because Being is real. However, when the illusion of separation is believed - just as a magnified image is mistaken for reality - fear, though felt, remains an illusion.

Emotion, including fear, serves as guidance, naturally aligning thoughts with the true nature of Being. When separation is seen through, as Being ‘looks in the closet,’ fear dissolves.

What remains is the recognition of the infinite and unconditional essence that was never truly veiled.

Oh, now, we took it back too far,
only love can save us now.


All these riddles that you burn
all come runnin' back to you.


All these rhythms that you hide;
only love can save us now.

I alone love you.

I alone tempt you.

Fear is not the end of This.

“Timed-Release”

This blog post was written yesterday and automatically posted today via a timed release feature in the Squarespace app.

Or was it?

When was the experience of writing? Was this written in the past? Is there any direct experience of "writing in a past"?

Writing is a present experience.

But what about the timed release feature? When was it turned on?

Is turning on the timed release experienced in the past?

The act of turning it on, like any other experience, if experienced - is presently experienced.

So how is this post publishing today if it wasn’t written today?

What exactly defines "today" versus "yesterday"?

Is it sleep?

Have you ever directly experienced sleep?

Or is it only upon waking that the thought of "having slept" arises, creating the sense of days being divided?

These are thoughts - present thoughts - about something called 'yesterday,' suggesting it exists separately from now.

"But I remember what happened yesterday."

Are these memories anything more than present thoughts?

Thoughts about 'yesterday,' seemingly separated from today by the idea of sleep?

Where is this "I" that remembers?

If something were truly separate, only then could it be remembered, right?

When is remembering actually experienced? In a past? In a future? Or only now?

These are thoughts - presently experienced thoughts - labeled as memories.

And what about this "I" - the seeming center around which all these thoughts of a self and time revolve?

Is this "I" present, or is it just another thought, implied by these very thoughts?

What is aware of the thought, "I"?

Who or what is 'going to let go,' 'going to release,' ‘going to heal’ or 'going to forgive' in some imagined future?

Life is as fleeting as a thought - appearing and disappearing.

Like sleep and time, 'life' itself is not truly experienced; it’s simply another present thought.

Just like the thought: "I’ll feel better when..."

The Source Is Not “Out There”

Thought patterns may appear, suggesting that a change in career, relationships, or circumstances will unlock appreciation, enthusiasm, passion, joy, or fulfillment.

Thoughts like, "Once I have this, achieve that, or become something better, then there will finally be happiness, empowerment, or love," may arise.

These patterns, especially when using language like "we," reinforce the idea of separation, creating an illusion of "our feelings" - which come from outside - or even from each other. In reality, these emotions are readily available now, without the need for external change, relating, or validation.

The belief that fulfillment is tied to external outcomes arises from conditioning, only seemingly linking emotions to a future moment when a promotion, relationship, or goal is reached. However, in direct experience, no external event brings true relief or joy. Thoughts of illusory comparisons can only give a misleading impression that some thing outside oneself is or will be the cause of the true nature of oneself.

These time-comparative thoughts, just like the notion of "our feelings," are misnomers. Joy or satisfaction doesn’t come from an external world - it’s simply a shift inward, a naturally occurring release of the resistance of the misleading ideas, concepts & beliefs. Through inward orientation & examination of direct experience, it’s unmistakably clear: feeling is never separate or coming from outside.

Direct experience reveals this clearly:

  • When a goal is achieved: A sense of satisfaction seemingly surfaces, but fullness and satisfaction are self-inherent and ever-present, only seemingly obscured by thoughts of lack or resistance. The “accomplishment” is but a ‘permission slip’ and simply reveals what was already present, prior to beliefs & obscuring thoughts.

  • In flow: Joy and passion are most pronounced through full, present engagement. Thought narratives about chasing states of imaginary comparisons, seeking validation, or achieving something external only obscure the joy and passion that are already present. True fulfillment is self-inherent and emerges naturally from presence, not from beliefs in separation, division, time or multiplicity.

  • When circumstances change: External situations are apparent and come and go, but the core - the truth - remains unchanged. If joy truly came from outside, it would vanish with every shift in circumstances. Yet, obscured or not - joy remains constant, regardless of external conditions.

‘Cleaning up’ thoughts that imply separation - like "we" and even the concept of "feelings" - unfetters underlying self-clarity. Letting go of the belief that emotions like passion, eagerness, and enthusiasm come from outside, shifts the focus inward, revealing that every thing seemingly sought ‘in thought’ - is already present in actuality. Love, happiness, and fulfillment aren’t things to chase or achieve through action or effort; but are present now, eternally undivided by notions of time or space, inseparable from what is.

The Nature of Consciousness

Consciousness: infinite, limitless, boundless.

Clear, formless, and true. Untouched, untarnished - perfection.

Simply - be.

This is the singularity. The Big Bang. A lifetime. Reality. This.

Being encompasses the sphere of somewhere and the sphere of some way of experiencing - an intricate dance of existence.

At its core, being is love.

Perfect, seamless, and real - love.

Yet, within the veiling nature of Being, illusion ensues.

Ego. Separation. The “me.” Fear. Insecurity. Uncertainty. Doubt.

These arise from the unknowingly added resistance of the illusion of knowing - believing outcomes are predictable based on an illusion of knowing past experiences.

All the while, behind it all lies sheer, unthinkable, unbelievable perfection.

What’s truly wanted is, in fact, what’s unfolding.

Peacefully.

Without added resistance.

Without concern or the need to know.

Without illusion.

I Love You

I - an appearing thought which refers to the awareness, the consciousness, aware of, conscious of - appearing as - the thought, “I”.

Love - ineffable Being, consciousness, awareness - being, appearing as - the world-sphere & lens-sphere - somewhere & someway - ‘This’.

You - appearance, world-sphere.

Of the lens-sphere - the apparent thought - ‘you’.

I love you - there are no ‘truer words’, there is nothing more worthwhile to say.

That mountain of work to be done? No. I love you.

The other, my enemy? No. I love you.

The worries of tomorrow? No. I love you.

The resentment for what other did to me? No. I love you.

But I’m not good, I’m not enough. No. I love you.

But I am afraid. No. I love you.

It’s not going to work out. No. I love you.

I’m reading words on a screen? No. I love you.

As in when I’m good, when I’m aligned? No. I love you.

When I figure out my purpose? No. I love you.

Oh ok, when I add some value, culminate some worthiness. No. I love you.

When I overcome my fears? No. I love you.

When I awaken, ok, I get it. No. I love you.

Oh, ok, I see - when I become enlightened.

No.

I love you.

The Great Relief

Corny, cliché, and trite - but it’s true: everything’s okay.

You’re okay. You’re alright.

And it’s okay to feel that.

It’s okay to allow it.

And it’s okay to question it - to question reality, the nature of things, and yourself.

It’s okay to question your own self-inherent guidance.

It’s okay.

It’s okay.

It’s okay!

It’s okay to doubt your own being.

It’s okay to worry.

It’s okay if there’s anger - it’s okay if you’re just mad.

It’s okay.

Maybe you’ve got some beliefs that don’t feel so good.

Maybe you’re struggling to let them go.

Maybe you’re afraid to let go.

To trust yourself, to trust your being.

It’s okay.

Hey!

It’s okay!

The Apparent Desire for Happiness

The desire for happiness is a tricky entanglement of identity & expectations. There’s a subtle belief that everything must align perfectly - an ideal day where routines are followed, goals are met, and every interaction goes smoothly.

Yet, rarely do things go as planned.

When they don’t, discouragement, frustration, or even anger arise. It’s as if happiness is always just out of reach, held back by the slightest disruption or the smallest perceived flaw in how others respond.

Ironically, wanting so much from a day, from people, or from oneself only emphasizes what’s missing. Conversations with friends & family can feel hollow when the focus is on what isn’t being said. Time spent with others loses its ease when weighed down by the need for admiration or acknowledgment. It’s as if everything should revolve around a single point of reference: “me.”

This inward focus can turn every gathering into a stage and every conversation into a performance. When the spotlight isn’t where it’s expected, disappointment often follows. But the disappointment isn’t about the other person; it’s about the unfulfilled idea of how things should be. This belief that everything must meet some hidden standard of “perfect” before happiness can emerge creates a discordant cycle of discontent.

Yet, what is this “perfect” that’s being chased?

Perfect isn’t a day that runs smoothly from start to finish.
It’s not the absence of awkward silences or unmet expectations.
It’s not about being better than others, more in control, or more admired.

The search for perfection creates a loop of longing that keeps genuine connection just out of reach. So, what if the striving ended? What if real joy was found not in reaching perfection but in accepting what is?

This endless striving can lead to a subtle sense of isolation, even when surrounded by others. It’s a ‘form of’ aloneness that has nothing to do with being physically alone - it’s the sense of being cut off by - expectations, judgments, and a constant need for things to be different.

But aloneness doesn’t have to mean isolation. It can be a quiet acceptance of what arises - a peace that doesn’t need validation or praise. When that inner space is truly embraced, there’s a strange freedom in realizing that nothing external needs to change at all.

Conversations don’t need to go a certain way, others don’t need to ask the “right” questions nor give the “right” answers, and emotions - no matter how turbulent - are just passing waves.

The cycle breaks not through becoming more or eliminating flaws, nor by getting others to change - but by dropping the illusory need to fix or become anything at all. In that dropping, genuine presence surfaces - a presence that’s not concerned with being seen, understood, or admired.

It’s not about eliminating the desire for attention or changing the stance towards others. It’s simply about seeing it for what it is, feeling whatever arises, and then letting it go.

When the need to control how happiness shows up is released, aloneness shifts from feeling empty to feeling whole. In that wholeness, happiness appears in the most unexpected places.

Emptying: The Overlooked Game Changer

Attention can drift toward adding - new ideas, skills, or patterns of thinking. But the real potency is in what remains when what doesn’t resonate falls away. This is the emptying aspect - the unfettering of experience. It’s the real game changer, the opening to the infinite - yet it’s seemingly so often entirely overlooked.

No one changes beliefs. No one becomes “better.” The notion of a “bad person” simply dissolves, and true goodness, already present, the radiant beauty you truly are - shines through. There’s no separate agent ‘fixing’ anything or anyone - only the illusion of effort. What’s happening is an unveiling, a clearing of mental debris - a release of the grip on identity.

Emptying can feel raw, like an unlayering of everything known. Every thought, story, or notion of a “me” clings and halts the flow. But behind it all, there’s a profound intelligence - not separate, but the very being in which everything unfolds.

If it feels overwhelming, it’s okay to pause. Just as the body naturally rests after exertion, so does the mind. Unfettering doesn’t demand struggle - it simply asks for surrender of what isn’t resonating or serving the betterment of experience.

Fear, insecurity, separation, and illusion are all truly the same - unreal shadows, cast by the mind. There’s no threat, no real division. The entire drama is a mirage appearing in the lens-sphere of perception. The belief in its solidity can hold tight, and this is where emptying reveals its true & infinite power. It’s not about making a separate self feel more confident or secure - it’s about seeing that “reality” itself is the fluid, shifting play of unexamined beliefs.

This emptying isn’t happening to a separate body, nor a separate somebody.

It’s the totality of being shifting and clearing itself, the whole of reality transforming.

The lens-sphere through which all arises and subsides changes, apparently, and therein - effortlessly.

Thoughts, ideas, and beliefs are like filters, coloring every encounter, every perception. But they don’t limit inherently. There are no limits here. The limitations that feel solid are only reflections of beliefs - shadows that disappear in the light of seeing.

It’s possible to fly.

It’s possible to teleport.

It’s possible for experiential reality to change instantly - without any logical or rational explanation available - or necessary - whatsoever.

Reality’s spontaneity is boundless. Consistency is an illusion - a mere artifact of linear thinking of old. The world isn’t governed by rules, only by what is, and isn’t - believed. All can change in an instant, because the so-called “rules of reality” are nothing but - appearance.

It’s not about efforting to be something or get somewhere. It’s about seeing the magic already present - the miracle of being ‘itself’. Everything as it were - every appearance, sensation, and thought - is the miracle. ’Sneaky’, defensive, projective or clinging as ‘the mind’ may seem to be - there is truly, absolutely - no exception.

All limitations are constructs of a ‘mind’ that simple, truly & self-evidently - does not exist. “They’re” just filters in the lens through which the world-sphere is viewed. To see through them is to realize the miracle is here, right now - this. Emptying clears those filters, allowing what is to shine through - unfiltered, unbound.

Reality is inherently miraculous - free of all concepts and illusory grasping. This isn’t a future event or a goal; it’s the nature of being itself, right now, as it is - already - and the emptying reveals this. The unfettering allows it to flow freely. The emptying is the revelation of revelations.

Pause and notice - what filters are still coloring the view?

There’s no one to fix or change them.

What’s ‘held’, which isn’t serving?

There’s only the emptying, the clearing, and with that - the spontaneous, boundless love that has been here all along.

That - THIS - and not even - is the miracle of being.

Self-Inherent, Self-Revealing Guidance

There's a natural, inherent guidance present in every moment, effortlessly aligning thoughts with feeling.

Not feelings, my feelings, your feelings, our feelings or their feelings - just, feeling - without added conditions, qualifications or quantifications.

This guidance is unchanging, clear, infallible, and self-revealing. It requires no external validation, concept, theory, complexity or understanding - it simply & already - is.

This guidance can not be known, and self-inherently does not require any knowing.

This guidance is not self seeking, as feeling is fullness, wholeness & completeness - already, in & of itself.

This guidance is most noticeable in the way appearing thoughts are felt as discordant or resonating. When thoughts align with truth - ease, flow & carefree effortlessness are unfettered, unobscured - revealed as the true nature; unconditional feeling.

When thoughts stray from truth, discord is felt. How a thought feels, the discord or alignment felt - the ease or discomfort - reveal the nature of the thought. In this way, guidance is always showing the way, with no mystery in why certain thoughts feel “off” and other thoughts feel “on”.

But there’s a seemingly additional ‘layer’ that can obscure this clarity that is feeling: the introduction of the “me,” the separate self, or ego.

When the idea of “me” arises, confusion arises, as thoughts seem to be on behalf of the “me”, as attempts to claim ownership over - feeling and thoughts.

My thoughts, my feelings, happening to me; denote the elusive, illusory, second or separate self. Thoughts arise on behalf of this illusory second self such as, “Why is this discord or alignment happening - to me?” or “Why do I feel this way?” Or “Why do I have to align thoughts with feeling just to feel better?”

However, the guidance is never unclear in regard to thoughts.

It’s the “me” layer that seemingly complicates, making it seem as though the discord or alignment is happening to an individual.

In reality, the clarity is - regardless of thoughts about a “me”- interpreting - the clarity.

The discord or resonance is simply a reflection of truth, singular, independent and already free of - that which there already isn’t, such as the separate self of thoughts.

As “the me” of thoughts is noticed to be thoughts - - - feeling… the self-inherent guidance, wholeness, completeness and fullness is - un-obscured.

There’s no need for interpretation or understanding, because the discord & alignment are already felt. Feeling is ‘always’ - effortless, and effortlessly pointing out the discord or alignment of any arising thought with - the truth. Every thought, without exception - reveals the truth - is, self-revealing.

The guidance is irremovable. Eternal, and infallible.

The guidance is not a thing; the guidance is self-inherent - nondual.

The guidance is present, clear, and available, showing the way without any need for a separate self to make sense of it.

Trust is self-inherent guidance as well, and the nature of thoughts and feeling are already effortless and self-evidently - clear.

“Figuring it out”, “solving”, “understanding it”, “learning about it” - are the self-arising obscurants of it - of - self.

The recognition of the "me" as thought dissolves any influence therein, and is the allowing of feeling, of guidance - to remain joyfully unobscured.

The ease of self-recognition, alignment & effortlessness is not about finding, attaining, realizing something or being someone else or somewhere else - it’s not figuring anything out - it’s about being aware of what’s naturally arising - already.

Cessation - Nothing Already

Cessation is often described as the end of all experiences - thoughts, perceptions, sensations - as if it were a final event or conclusion. But this misses the core. It’s not an ending, realization, or transition; it’s the recognition that nothing was ever happening in the first place. There isn’t someone to realize an end of anything when everything has always been nothing.

The idea of cessation assumes that manifestation was real, that phenomena were unfolding, only to eventually stop or stop being believed as real. But what if the unfolding was just an appearance, a play of nothingness all along?

Cessation isn’t an event or conclusion, and it’s not another illusion - there’s no final act to a play which truly - isn’t happening. It’s clarity - the clarity that nothing truly arose.

There’s no journey, no process, no conclusion. Cessation isn’t a culmination, completion, transcendence, or result of anything at all - because that would imply something happened or is happening, to or for - someone.

The search for an "end" only continues the illusion that someone is here, and something is happening for them, with the hope that resolution will be found by ending - what’s happening. But cessation reveals this as truly empty. There’s nothing to reach, nothing to attain, and nothing to grasp. Cessation is the utter simplicity of being - the obviousness that there was never anything to hold onto nor long for, for anyone.

It’s not about rejecting experience in any way whatsoever, but rather is ‘seeing’ through the idea that any experience was ever happening in the first place. There’s nothing behind cessation, nothing underneath - just the simple truth of nothingness, already present.

So, what remains?

Not a void as in an absence waiting to be filled, not a ‘pregnant pause’ - but the simple reality that there is nothing - and nothing has to be done or could be done about, nothing. Nothing’s happening, and even that can’t be said to be happening.

No effort, no resolution, no next step.

No insights, no realizations.

No epiphanies, no revelations.

Nothing was ever broken, nothing needs or needed to be fixed - because nothing ever began or happened at all.

3 Steps; Un-obscuring Consciousness.

3 Steps; Un-obscuring Consciousness.

Clarity is always present, but can seem hidden or veiled when doubt or confusion are experienced. The truth is - consciousness (clarity) - can’t actually be obscured, but can merely seem to be. Whatever seems to be obscuring consciousness, is in fact, consciousness appearing as, whatever seems to be obscuring consciousness.

What arises in & of the lens-sphere, can seem to color - the world-sphere.

Un-obscuring isn’t a doing or an adding, but rather is a natural allowing, of a naturally occurring untangling - of what seems true - which has already arisen, already seems - added. Un-obscuring is therein self-recognizing what is of the lens-sphere, and what is of the world-sphere, and that the activity of the lens-sphere is only seemingly coloring the world-sphere.

Step One:

Acknowledge what has arisen, has arisen of the lens-sphere, and not of the world-sphere. In the simplest of terms - acknowledge a thought, belief, or interpretation is direct experienced, and what ‘thought claims’ is happening, did happen, or could happen in the world-sphere - isn’t actually presently happening in the world-sphere.

Step Two:

Acknowledge there is a ‘felt aspect’ to this seeming experience of being obscured. An emotion. Step two ‘breaks’ the self referential thought loop. The emotion felt in this example would be doubt. The two seeming components of a thought loop are the self referential thought, and quite literally anything - which is to say any thought about anything at all - which isn’t, or is anything other than - the acknowledgement of the emotion felt.

Step Three:

Trust the natural unfolding of consciousness, how the shift feels, and the true nature therein. Trust that the un-obscuring happens effortlessly as consciousness is effortlessly self-correcting. The seeming confusion or doubt doesn’t require solving or intervention.

The instant the thought is acknowledged for what it is - a passing appearance in the lens-sphere - and emotion is acknowledged as what it is - self-inherent intrinsic guidance for thoughts - it begins to dissolve on its own. Trust is the recognition that there’s nothing to fix, and that clarity is always already present. As the absence of the thought loop and any attempts to stop thoughts or solve or manage the experience - Being - free of obscuration, effortlessly shines through.

Desire & Emptying: Two Sides of the Same Coin

The desire, what’s wanted, often feels so clear and simple. It arises naturally, out of experience, without effort. Whether it’s a big goal, a feeling of peace, or even something like winning the lottery, the desire seems to come easily. But what doesn’t always feel so obvious is this: the emptying of limiting beliefs is not separate from what’s wanted—it is the manifestation itself, unfolding.

It’s easy to think of the clearing out of old patterns, doubts, and beliefs as something that just happens along the way, like a side process. But in truth, the emptying of those limiting beliefs is the direct path to what’s wanted manifesting. They aren’t separate. When desire arises, it’s already being fulfilled. It’s like saying, “I want this,” and reality responds with, “Of course, it’s already happening.” The clearing, the emptying of anything contrary to that desire, is the manifestation in progress.

But here’s where resistance often sneaks in. As beliefs empty, emotions arise—perhaps fear, doubt, or frustration. These emotions are part of the clearing, yet there’s often an aversion to feeling them. Thoughts pop up, creating stories about a second self, something separate that’s “experiencing” the emotions. This can obscure the truth of what’s happening.

But feeling is Being, and Being is what’s manifesting. The emotions, the clearing, the desires—all of it is part of the same whole. There’s nothing to resist because what’s being felt is the very thing that’s wanted, in its own perfect way.
