Who’s your teacher? -rjs
N O T E A C H E R CAN EVER DO FOR YOU what you need to do for yourself. The very act of doing the work is what strengthens and establishes you. Reading, listening, meditating, communing, silencing UNTIL THE WORK IS DONE will put you where YOU need to be. Thinking that someone else can or will carry you will truly result in great disappointment again and again. This message is for you and me and has nothing whatsoever to do with me. The “WORK” that I’m referring to is this:
WHATEVER. IT. WILL. TAKE. TO. COMPLETELY. AND. PERMANENTLY. AWAKEN. YOU. FROM. THE. HYPNOTISM. THAT. IS. THIS. WORLD.
Nobody can do it for you.

As far as logic goes -rjs
If you believe in this world and its natural life cycles of birth, decay, death, how can you deny its concomitant belief in reincarnation? And how about the law of karma? It’s all quite logical, as far as logic goes.
When you begin to wake up to the absolute allness of Spirit, you can cancel out the entire illusion that has dogged you for hundreds if not thousands of years.
Realization of the allness of Spirit necessitates the recognition of the nothingness of matter and its myriad of hypnotic seductions that comprise the world. This deserves to be thoroughly studied out until a major change takes place.

Baby Child -rjs
. . . . . Baby Child . . . . .
The baby child sets out on their path to Nirvana, the Christ consciousness, sat/chit/ananda but finds many baubles and shiny things along the Way. Their pace is greatly retarded – to a near standstill most of the ‘time’.
The sages tell the traveler you’re too good for all this nasty mesmeric illusion, but to no avail. Now a corporate CEO, they want more and more of what will soon be less and less.
Suddenly things turn for the worse and the not-so-wide-eyed traveler is in serious trouble. Remembering the path they started on many lifetimes ago, they set out again to rediscover that unity they once knew as “Baby Child.”

There is NO THING that you have to overcome -RAdams
“The Self pervades all space and time. There’s nothing else. So how can you think there is such a thing as sickness, lack, limitation, depression, and these things that some of us go on with believing we have a fight on our hands, something to overcome,. That’s a joke, funny, ha-ha. There is no thing that you have to overcome. There is no karma that you have to overcome.
There are no samskaras. You’re not a sinner. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with you. You’re perfect just the way you are. You are the Self, the immutable Self, self-contained absolute reality. You have always been this. You are this. And nothing can tarnish this. Just by understanding what I’m saying will liberate you, totally.”
~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
What is AND ISN’T God? -rjs
Is there anyone among you who hasn’t heard definitions and/or synonyms of God that have given you pause? Which teacher can you count on to sort through the miasma? Including the possibility of no God at all? Would that you could simply discern for yourself what’s most nearly right! Methinks you can.
Don’t let anyone deprive you of the personal development that accompanies genuine experience

Are you really aware? -RSpira
Everybody is aware, all seven billion of us. We are aware of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. All people share the experience of being aware, but relatively few people are aware that they are aware. Most people’s lives consist of a flow of thoughts, images, ideas, feelings, sensations, sights, sounds, and so on. Very few people ask, ‘What is it that knows this flow of thoughts, feelings, and perceptions? With what am I aware of my experience?’
The knowing of our being – or rather, awareness’s knowing of its own being – is our primary, fundamental and most intimate experience. It is in this experience that the peace, happiness and love for which all people long reside. The happiness we have sought so long outside of ourselves, in situations, objects and relationships, turns out to be always present and available in the simple knowing of our own being as it truly is.
The knowing of our own being shines in each of us as the experience ‘I am’ or ‘I am aware’, or simply the knowledge ‘I’. This obvious, familiar and intimate experience has no objective qualities and is, therefore, overlooked or ignored by the majority of people. This overlooking of our own being is the ultimate cause of unhappiness.

Solitude -SB
“Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words.”
~ Carl Gustav Jung
“Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realize how calm and peaceful it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.”
~ Jim Carrey
“To practice solitude is to practice being in this singular moment, not caught in the past, not carried away by the future, and most of all not carried away by the crowd. You don’t have to go to the forest.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
“Be a loner. That gives you time to wonder, to search for the truth. Have holy curiosity. Make your life worth living.”
~ Albert Einstein
“Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.”
~ Nikola Tesla
“You have to get away from all that madness for a while because we become insane, we get confused with our roles, as being who we really are. Man is not his role. Man is something deeper than that. So, go into the forest or some place ALONE in nature, all by yourself, and find out who you really are! And when you no longer confuse yourself with your particular temporary body, but identify with the entire process of nature and the whole cosmos… When death comes, what a funny thing that will happen. Death comes, and will find no one to kill.”
~ Alan Watts
