The fact that we don't see that adapting 100% to the consensus reality is something that is always going to be injurious to our mental health has drastic consequences, naturally enough. The consequences are profound and penetrate every aspect of...

We look for security in the world. That's just what we do. This however creates no end of difficulties for us. It creates an impossible situation - it's not just that the sense of security we seek doesn't exist, neither...

We degrade ourselves with our own belief structures. The moment we start grasping at something and saying to ourselves ‘that this is this and that is the other’ we have (unbeknownst to ourselves) started the decay process, the degradation process....

The extrinsic reality is made up entirely of pressure – that’s all it is, just pressure, nothing else. Extrinsic reality is pure pressure and nothing more. This pressure comes in two apparently different forms – the ‘positive’ form and the...

We tend to think that 'not existing' is (or would be) an extraordinarily bad thing and be very averse to the prospect on this account but this is only because of our limited way of seeing things! Actually, not existing...

When we interact with the world it is almost always via our internal map, almost always via our ‘neat and tidy logical understanding of the way things are’. Every time we interact with the world in a purposeful way (which...

The more we ‘scale up’ (in terms of our mode of socio-economic organization) the further we move in the direction of creating the Generic World and we are without any doubt at all absolutely committed to upscaling in this way....

When we force pseudo-being into existence (by insisting, by controlling, by 'bearing down heavily on things') we also create - as an unwanted by-product - toxic pain. Strictly speaking, it's simply pain that we are creating, without any toxicity, but...

Reality that we can control isn't reality, and yet all we ever do is control reality! We are the supreme masters of controlling reality – that’s our game and we're very good at it. We’re superlatively good at it -...

It is in one way something of a cliche to say that the most important need we have in life is the need for meaning, the need for our lives to be actually meaningful to us. It is perfectly true...

By commentating on reality, we create the isolated ego-observer. What advantage then, we might ask, is there in doing this? What do we gain by the exercise? The answer here of course is that there is no advantage, except to...

We create ugly things and then – as a second step, so to speak – we very carefully refrain from paying any attention to what we have created. We ‘withdraw from seeing them’ into some kind of fantasy. The result...

There are only two modes of being that are possible for us - the tangible and the intangible - and of these two only the intangible is real. This is odd of course because we always understand things exactly the...

Goal-orientated activity doesn't just take place within a framework, it is the framework. Purposefulness doesn't just take place within the context of the ‘mental map’ out of which were operating from, it is that map. Purposefulness can never be separated...

The 'will' of the Extrinsic Self relates solely to the assertion of limits and the thing about this is that these limits (any limits, for that matter) don't really exist. Asserting limits is how we create and maintain the definite...

When we live our lives on the basis of thought then we are always going to be ‘looping back on ourselves’, which is to say, ‘thinking that we're ‘getting somewhere when we aren't’. This is inevitably going to be the...

Limits excite us. Limits excite us whilst freedom - on the other hand - frightens the hell out of us. We might say that we love being free (or that we greatly value freedom as an ideal) but really its...

Only the part or the fragment can have an identity and the part or fragment don't actually exist. The part doesn't exist because in wholeness there are no parts, and wholeness is all there is. Parts are created by thought,...
