The Abuser Mind gives you yourself, your identity, your ‘world’ — it gives you your everything. The Abuser Mind gives you the game that you have to play; it controls you, not because of what it tells you, but because of...

Life isn't to be found within the drab and dreary confines of our crappy mental categories. It does not comply with our regulations; it can't be prevailed upon to even recognise them. Thought builds a pen or enclosure for life...

Collectively speaking, we have absolutely no interest in Being. That’s just not a ‘thing’ for us. This is indisputably true - gaining Being absolutely can't be a collective endeavour, we absolutely can't turn it into a task that can be...

The good feeling we get when we pick up a bargain in the local supermarket has nothing to do with a consideration of the benefit to our personal finances. That's the way we understand it - that's the way it...

Can radical indeterminacy be used as a basis for constructing a black-and-white picture, for constructing ‘a definite story’? Clearly it can't - we can't start off from indeterminacy and somehow go on from that beginning to create a story which...

There is no advantage in symmetry (by definition there is no advantage to be had in symmetry). For there to be advantage there must be the lack of symmetry, there must be inequality. We are all about chasing the advantage...

If our private worlds are to make sense to us - if they are to exist for us at all - then we must be blind to the bigger picture; this is the only way the endeavour is ever going...

Virtual space is always positive, it is inevitably positive. It can't be otherwise - anything that is planned, anything that is specified, anything that is mapped out in advance is by definition going to be taking place in ‘positive space’....

If the self is extended too much, then there is trouble; if we stretch the self too far then we create a killer jinx that we don’t know how to un-jinx again. “But how far is too far,” we might...

There are only two possibilities that are open to us - either we can become ‘machines’, or we can become ‘philosophers’. It's as simple as that! It's as simple as that - there is no middle ground, we’re either one...

The Equilibrium World is the world that comes into being when everything that happens has to happen in a way that agrees with the guidelines, agrees with the standards, agrees with the ideal values that have been specified by that...

The thing about living in a one-sided way is that we can have no awareness of the absurdity of the so-called ‘life’ that we are leading as a result. We have zero awareness regarding the absurd nature of our existence...

It's not so much a matter of 'being versus non-being' (although it is that as well) but ‘being versus pseudo-being’, which is infinitely more nuanced, infinitely more subtle. Pseudo-being is all we know! 'Margarine is all we know', Russian mystic...

The rational identity assumes a framework (a context) and then it makes tautologically true statements within this framework. It conceives, and then enacts, tautological actions. Any action that the rational identity takes within this defined context is always going to...

Technical knowledge is the ‘lower analogue’ of wisdom. In this high-tech world of ours (which we adulate so much) it's all about technical knowledge, of course and technical knowledge is – for us – simply a ‘means to an end’....

When we act out of the External Authority (rather than acting out of our own unprovable, unverifiable but also quite irreplaceable sense of interiority) not only does this make us instantly expendable, instantly replaceable, and instantly generic in nature, it...

Reality is nuanced, whilst our mental constructs never can be. The thinking mind works by ignoring all nuance - that's how it gets to make its generalisations. Thought blankets the world with its bland generalisations, which means that the world...

There is one, very good reason why our prized psychological therapies can't ever work and - what's more – it’s a reason that's perfectly easy to understand. The problem isn't that we're not able to grasp it, the problem is...
