The twist (or ‘nuance’) in the Gnostic myth of how the universe was created (and the account of the dynamics of how the Cosmos is run to this day) is that there is an appearance which is different from the...

When we’re adapted to the Machine World then everything is about productivity. Productivity, productivity, productivity - that's all we ever care about! Productivity is our god and we are all obliged to worship it accordingly; we ‘justify our existence’ in...

We aren’t – as a rule – in the least bit interested in venturing forth into a Greater or More Expansive Reality, although we can never admit this to ourselves. We aren’t interested in any ‘Deeper or More Expansive Reality’...

Symmetry - in a psychological sense - means that ‘Everything is allowed to be true, but that nothing actually is’. Everything is permitted and nothing is true. Symmetry - in both the psychological and the cosmological sense of the term...

Our consciousness is owned by the Matrix - it gets caught up in the Matrix, absorbed by the Matrix, subsumed and exploited by the Matrix on a full-time basis. This is ‘the established order of things’ - it's so established...

If we are to see anything truly then we have to drop all our biases, all our prejudices. If we don't then we will never see anything that is true; we will only ever see our own biases reflected back...

The universe’s ‘job’ – according to the mystics - is to continuously provide us with a situation that is optimum with regard to us ‘waking up’. It hands us this situation on a plate every time. Our ‘job’ – on...

My 'knowing' - which I'm so proud of, which I place so much stock in - is nothing more than me. It's an extension of me, an indefinite (and thoroughly pointless) perpetuation of me. It's a self-defeating overabundance of me… My...

There are only two things in the world, ‘the truth’ and ‘the lie’ and we human beings spend all our time, and all of our energy, insisting that ‘our favourite lie’ is in fact the one and only truth. Historically...

We always almost always seek to further ourselves, or develop ourselves, in the human world, which is to say the consensus reality that we ourselves have unwittingly created. It's pretty much unnecessary to say this - where else would we...

There is only one ‘meaning’ in life and that is the meaning of ‘moving beyond who we think we are’ and this just happens to be the one type of meaning we don't want anything to do with! We like...

Reality isn't a Rubik’s Cube - it can never be solved or ‘made right’! We can project what we imagine to be ‘right’ upon it, and then try to achieve it, but to do this (or to attempt to do...

The Small Picture is created by our fear of the Big Picture. Only, there isn't any such thing as a small picture really; there is no SP in reality but we nevertheless create it (in a subjective kind of way)...

When we give up pretending that we are the Defined Self we also give up all our purposes. We might still have nominal purposes (i.e. ‘things that we aim at’) but the difference is that we no longer invest in...

The Group Mind is always absolutely certain of itself. This is the apparent 'advantage' of identifying with the Group Mind - the advantage of being free from doubt, the advantage of being free from all uncertainty. The Group Mind is...

Whenever we elect a goal to be important - which is to say, whenever we decide that something shall be a goal - then we automatically create a private (or ‘self-centred’) world. This is such an utterly ubiquitous thing, and...

The self is always kept prisoner in a prison made -up of its own prejudices - it has to be kept there because there's nowhere else it can survive. That’s the only way it can work - the conditioned self...

In the Unreversed (or 'open') World there are no goals, and there is - therefore - none of the satisfaction that comes from successfully approaching them. There’s no goal-orientated motivation, there is no euphoric reward for effective controlling, no kudos...
