Daily State
- 1.
Many of us believe that we spend much of our lives thinking fairly intelligently about ourselves and the situations we face, but if we consciously and deeply examine our usual daily state, we may find that we live between two predominant states. One is the state of our true nature which we naturally access when we live connected to our inner calm, loving awareness, and wonder in the present moment, which facilitates a coherent connection to the environment around us. The other is generally larger, and is our self-possessed ego-state, which arises whenever we are distracted and disconnected from our true nature, and therefore we become captured by the distraction, and live with little true awareness in the present. In this captured state we tend to experience a range of ad hoc, repetitious stories, mental rehearsals or imaginings on auto-pilot, with varying emotions focused around such things as anxieties, negative beliefs, assumptions and biases, as well as fixation on appearance, wealth and health matters, depression,schisms of various kinds, judgmentalness and fault-finding, justifications, inhibitions, focusing on mistakes, obligations, obsessions, overreactions, self-consciousness and self-doubt, stubborness, stress, uncertainty, unhappiness, worries and so on. Obviously living in such a daily state is not a…read more…
Danger
- 1.
If ever we find ourselves in danger, then a mindful perception and attention to detail may be able to place us in the eye of the danger (similar to the lull in the eye of the storm), where there is more possibility of a calm awareness of ourselves and our environment. This can cause a deep knowing about where to go, and what to do, without reactively falling into fear.

Dark Secrets
- 1.
What if another discovers our darkest secrets? It says only that we are a human being, subject to various forces of ignorance, just like all other human beings. Yet ultimately a human being, is a novice learning to move out of ignorance, and into a greater light of awareness.
Darkness
- 1.
Darkness is the absence of light, but like the night sky, it is also a necessary looking glass for inner reflection, in order to give depth, meaning and potency to our experience of light.

Death
13 Contemplations on Death - More >>- 1.
It is highly likely that the constricting, fearful, habitual, worrying, burdensome conditions created and prolonged by the ego, depletes lifeforce. This in turn causes sickness and ageing, which eventually overwhelms the defences of the body/mind to cause death.

Debate
- 1.
Genuine debate can only truly occur if It is based on being openly aware, with an attitude of curiosity, and a desire to reach for causes, or in other words the truth. However, if anger, ridicule, disrespect, belittling of others on the wrong side of popular thought, as well as blind and irrational upholding of mainstream views and past narratives, are expressed during a debate, then such reactions are likely to be a sign of self-righteous beliefs, rather than a choice to be open.

Debt
- 1.
Debts are a claim and an obligation between egos. Debt arises where the ego is relied and extended upon. The current banking system is largely founded upon the furtherance of the egocentric attributes of claim and obligation, and the minimising or forgetting of our true nature.
Debut
- 1.
As an individuated ego, we are continually making our debut, for the ego has no firm foundation. Yet the soul appears to have qualities in common with all, and therefore it has no sense of separateness to require a debut in illusory aloneness.
