I think a good starting point is to use our own experience as a guide to help us see clearly that: there is the way things appear to be, and there is the way things are. What I mean by that is we have to careful when apparent insights or observations arise for us in thought. Sometimes these can seem true and right but until full awakening there will always be a degree of bias, based on conditioning, of all views, thoughts and ideas. It takes quite a lot of subtlety to notice this at times.I say this to start with because spiritual rules or guidelines can be helpful to us and support us but when we grasp at these the mind easily runs to absolutes. We can imagine perfect but in practice there is no perfect, and it's important to see that. In terms of the 'do nothing' vs 'spiritually evolve' stances it's very hepful if we can track conversations and viewpoints in terms of their frame of reference. For example from the point of view of the Absolute, or...    less

Essentially, that which knows, which apprehends these words, the knowing presence that has always been there is the very end of your path. It is a path of no steps, for every step takes you one away from source which is the beginning and the end. So it really is already here and although linear thought can't comprehend this, the silence can. So you've heard the sage advice: be still, and know. This realisation comes only from silence. A silence that sees in every step: not this, not that. That remains Unborn as the knowingness of eternal Now.  less

    In classical Buddhist cosmology there are six realms into which we can be reborn. We all know the human realm but below it there are also the animal, hungry ghost and hell realms, and the realms of the fighting spirits (asuras) and gods or devas above. Most notably...

    AndrewWhite Found this book to be a really good read. It's a really nice mixture of travel writing and spiritual insights: https://www.watkinspublishing.com/shop/the-shadow-that-seeks-the-sun/

    AndrewWhite Ajahn T started me towards an inquiry into feelings with this: we want to know the comfortable body but if there's pain or discomfort we don't want to know that, we turn away.

In the same way we want our nice, clever thoughts but if ugly thoughts arise we turn away. But the wheel turns doesn't it? We will experience unpleasant sensations, ugly thoughts and uncomfortable feelings. If we can't learn to make peace with these, if we can't allow them then we'll spend part of our time in conflict, trying to find a way out. How can we know peace if we're only at peace with part of this human experience?  less
