Oh, perhaps it’s simply a coincidence however in the last 24 hours the same phrase (more or less) “you die twice” came to “my” attention but in completely different contexts yet who is it that really “dies” eh ? For the first it was during a discussion where each of us shared their experience of ...

On Your Mental Wellbeing 1

Jan

2022

Oh, now, you may have heard of the phrase (from Socrates) “The unexamined life is not worth living” eh ? 🧐 Earlier I commented on an online article concerning how our Attention Span seems to have “suffered” in recent times and perhaps looking into some Meditative practice may help improve one’s Focus or Concentration (link ...

2021

Oh, now upon returning to the “Waking State” [1] each day (it’s generally called “waking up”), it’s as if there’s automatically a sense-of-self present as soon as you open your eyes eh ? But what’s not seen is that sense of “me” is subconsciously generated, it’s not that it has any power of autonomy at ...

Can Non-Dual Perception be Induced ? 6

Aug

2021

Ah, now, if you are an Anatta exponent, the notion of an entity-doing-independently is clearly deluded eh ? Not based on Reality-as-it-is ! But being “balanced” (Contemplatively) is perhaps a Skill that is very much a lifelong affair depending on the conditions you are “born” into eh ? So, you see the image above, picture ...

On Self, No Self, and Not-self 2

Ah, it's as if in total Peace, as one's Heart Chakra fully opens (in the absence of egoic self-identity as such dynamics have ceased), there's an unmistakable "fragrance" as though communing with, I sense, a Divine Presence eh ? 😀 💞 #WhoAreYou

Oh, it's as if there's a "war" for your Consciousness, perhaps being "enslaved" digitally via one's Attention, or, I suggest, "we" can free ourselves (as much as is possible) by "taking refuge" in our own Precious Hearts eh ? 💗
