A World in Crisis

Post Manuscript World Contemplation Intro: 11/24 -

"You think you are the wave but you are the ocean. This is the truth I point to."

          - A World in Crisis: the weird and the wonderful.

For me, the so-called material and physical world with all its ever-changing anomalies, dramas and creations is still a miraculous, strange, beautiful and curious appearance, experience and event.

>BE AWARE<>BE AWAKE<>BE FREE<

It is still strange and puzzling to me to think and quietly observe and contemplate that one day this temporary self-aware embodied form and conscious construct with all its ever-changing, impersonal and fleeting thoughts, feelings, perceptions, views, ideas, opinions, urges and sensory experiences will be no more, and yet I fully acknowledge, accept and know this is simply the way things are in this transitory dual material and conceptual miraculous world and realm of constant change and changing creations. To take birth presents us all to the full vulnerability and fragility of life and creation.

Attachment to this world of change and all its creations can only cause us suffering.

        - Embracing Our Vulnerability

As with all spiritual and philosophical teachings, both past and present, they continuously remind and tell us all that there is no real permanence to be had, found, gained and owned in the worldly things, forms, phenomena, dramas, projections, impulses, desires, urges and creations of this ever-changing conditioned and conceptual fleeting and transitory material and physical world of constant change. All so-called things, forms, dramas, phenomena and creations are permanently marked and bound by impermanence. However much we might try to attach and hold on to things, experiences, sensations and creations, all this will come to pass. All these so-called things, dramas, forms, experiences, constructs and creations are transitory and will eventually cease to be. 

All so-called phenomena and creations are empty of any real permanence. This is the vulnerability of it all. So-called existence is fragile and yet at the same time, miraculous.

        Impermanence is the very conditioned nature of all things, forms, phenomena and creations.

>WATCH<>EXAMINE<INVESTIGATE>KNOW<

            - Direct Experience

Even now today with all that I enthusiastically and confidently write, present and share here, both spiritually and philosophically, on this so-called esoteric blog on the true absolute nature and truth of reality, identity and experience, I am still slightly mystified and over-shadowed by the world's seeming meaningless, randomness, chaos, brutality and questionable profound and miraculous existence, spontaneity, order, indifference and beauty. Maybe it is all simply a beautiful and strange spontaneous miraculous mystery and cosmic happening and event that is truly beyond any of us to really and fully unravel and solve in any genuine conclusive, agreeable and satisfactory way. Perhaps this is the great unknown of self-awareness and knowing. The one true mystery that plagues us all.

However much we might endeavour to acquire, gain, own and have in this fleeting, fragile and ever-changing sensory world of constant change and transitory creations, constructs and phenomena it will not prevent or stop the passing and ending of all sensory things, forms, dramas, creations, realms, urges, impulses, desires, experiences, expressions and events. This is its ever-present unsatisfactory, ever-changing, vulnerable and restless nature. Its fragility.

"For me, all moments of experience are a unique and beautiful one time expression of Reality. Unique and yet transitory. Only Reality endures. Only this enduring Reality is real. All creation and phenomena are this ever-present awake and known Reality. This is the truth that I point to."

          - Respecting the Vulnerability of it All

"You are the ocean, not the wave. Wake up and know."

As I see and experience it, it is very easy for us as individualised forms and self-aware constructs to become and be very mentally and emotionally attached, identified and invested in this impersonal and imperfect physical appearance and mental construct and projection that we call mind and body, and all the ever-changing sensory worldly experiences, urges, desires, dramas and sensations that come with having them, despite being aware and knowing it will all be cast aside eventually. As a temporary self-aware construct death awaits us all. For me, this is an ever-present worldly and material puzzle that has always stayed with me; wanting, waiting and needing to be solved. What is real? What is it to exist and not exist? 

        Who am I? What is the truth of reality, experience and identity?

           - Understanding the Great Mystery

For me, as a temporary self-aware embodied and sensory world construct and form, it has always been somewhat puzzling and challenging to always observe, experience and accept an ever-changing and ageing material and conceptual world that is consistently plagued and impacted by hatred, cruelty, greed, hardship, poverty, sickness, loss, authoritarianism, conflict, superiority, indifference and inequality. This is not to say there are not beautiful things and rewarding phenomena and unique moments to experience, love, acquire, share and have in this temporary worldly and material fleeting miraculous experience and existence of birth, living, playing, growth, ageing, decay and dying, but as with all conditioned, created and conceptual things, creations, forms, dramas and phenomena, this too will all come to pass and end. This is the emptiness and fragility of all creations, forms and phenomena. It is all without permanence.

As a temporary self-aware embodied and sensory conscious construct and form we all have to let it all go in the end. Impermanence is the very conditioned, restless and unsatisfactory nature of all things, phenomena, forms, dramas, constructs, experiences, expressions and creations.

Attachment to this world of change and all its transitory creations can only result in suffering.

>BE STILL<>LET GO<>BE AWAKE<>KNOW<

        - Staying Open to being Uncomfortable

To simply and freely love, celebrate, share and accept who we are and what life is, in and of itself, can be a day-to-day challenge for many of us, as well as dealing with the constant impersonal ebb and flow of worldly changes, dramas, expectations, demands, needs, impulses and challenges we will all have to face in one way or another as we navigate, live, act and play out this ever-changing, vulnerable and transitory material realm and physical world of constant change and endless creations and phenomena. 

Worldly existence, by its very own nature, can make it challenging and hard for any of us to be consistently and fully content and satisfied in all that it offers, presents, delivers, gives, shares and is. It can at times be challenging and frustrating to consistently and fully understand, accept and make peace with the way things are in this ever-changing impersonal and sometimes brutal dual sensory material and conceptual world and universe. The ever-changing world and all its on-going dramas, constructs and creations can seem totally indifferent and unconcerned for the day-to-day demands, wants, urges and needs of having and living this miraculous and transitory embodied self-aware and ever-changing existence. 

And yet, for me, all moments of experience and experiencing can be seen and known as a unique never to be lived again expression of Reality. For me, it is only Reality that truly endures and exists. Reality is the one enduring truth, identity, essence, source and origin of all things, phenomena, forms, dramas, constructs and creations. All creation and phenomena are empty of any real permanence. Emptiness is our true enduring nature and the one true essence of all things, dramas and the universe.

"The waves of reality are temporary, and yet the ocean is eternal."

            - To be Awake!

Here we all are in all our diverse, miraculous, beautiful and shared exposed, unpredictable and vulnerable conscious humanity temporarily and uniquely living, acting and playing out a transitory and fleeting self-aware embodied experience and existence of awareness knowingly knowing with all certainty it will sooner or later end and cease to be, and we have no real certainty and assurance as to when and how. Certainly for me, it has always raised and presented the deep contemplative and meditative question of who am I before I am and what am I when I no longer exist as a self-aware physical conscious sensory construct, projection and form? Who am I? What is this?

             What is real? What is true happiness and freedom in an ever-changing restless world?

And yet as a fully embodied self-aware mind/body construct and form I am still baffled and puzzled by the reality of fully acknowledging, accepting and knowing the ever-present and harsh fact that, as I know my present self-aware embodied sensory experience and existence to be, I will in some near or distant future and uncertain time not be present as this particular and unique self-aware embodied conscious form in this ever-changing impersonal physical and material construct, realm and reality of space, time and form. All these worldly, material and sensory experiences, perceptions and dramas are limited, fleeting and temporary. All this will come to cease and end. All things, dramas, phenomena, forms and creations are bound and marked by impermanence. And yet, for me, all moments of sensory experience, existence and having experience can be viewed and seen as unique and ever-changing impersonal and cognitive expression of Reality.

For me, it is only Reality that endures. It is this enduring Reality that is absolute Truth.

>PAY ATTENTION<>BE AWARE<>BE AWAKE<>KNOW<

            - Exposing the Truth

For me, when silently considering and contemplating the truth of impermanence and the unsatisfactory nature of all things, dramas, phenomena and creations it still completely amazes and baffles me that this ever-changing and impersonal sensory dual material, diverse and complex world of change and creations is still so largely driven, shaped, dominated and impacted by inequality, intolerance, hatred, greed, prejudice, misery, conflict, war, violence, self-importance and authoritarianism. It is crazy to me to think that such a small minority of individuals have and own so much of the world's material wealth and such a large volume of the world population still have so little of it. Let me be clear, who actually needs £100 billion dollars or even £1 billion dollars to live and play out such a short, temporary and fleeting existence? And so too with power. No individual in these present times should be trusted, let alone allowed, to have such extreme and unnecessary levels of wealth, status, authority, control, self-importance, superiority and power? I think world events, both past and present, show us all that it puts all our precious, worthy, amazing, vulnerable and fleeting lives at risk. And yet, these are only the ever-changing and transitory waves and creations of experience and existence and not the ocean and Truth that I point to and speak of.

            For me, directly and intimately knowing Truth and being awake is all that truly matters.

        - What is real?

I do ask myself as a temporary physical embodied self-aware conscious construct, how is it that we as an on-going shared and global community still allow such a small minority of individuals or group of individuals to have so much authority, power, wealth, status and control over all our fragile, miraculous and vulnerable lives even when so many of these elected or non-elected individuals do little or nothing to improve, protect or better our day-to-day experience and ease of living, well-being, ageing, existing, happiness, peace, security, safety and dying? For me, this is certainly another unwelcome perplexing and challenging part of this so-called restless world and universal puzzle. The seeming unsatisfactory, fractured and restless nature of this ever-changing world of change and all its creations, indifference and dramas.

Why do we as a shared, intelligent and self-aware evolved species continue to allow, follow and accept a mostly out-dated consumerism and hierarchy world model that still only serves and benefits a very tiny minority of individuals in simply increasing, securing and protecting their already ridiculous and unnecessary gross levels of wealth, status, self-importance, control, self-gratification, authority, dominance and power? Maybe this too is simply the imperfect and unsatisfactory nature of all creation and phenomena? Only Reality will endure all this. 

For me, Reality is Truth. For me, only Reality is not tainted, touched, lessened, hindered, limited or altered by any of this. The ever-changing waves of existence do not alter, lessen, stop, hinder, limit or remove the ocean. This is Absolute. Only Reality endures and it is this Reality that I point to.

Attachment and resistance to this on-going world of change can only result in suffering.

            - Knowing Truth

Of course with the spiritual and philosophical revelations written, presented and offered here on this esoteric blog I do see and fully accept the transcendental beauty and perfection in and of all creation beyond what is material, physical, sensory, impersonal and conceptual. With the mystery of it all I do still silently and deeply marvel and celebrate at the very existence of what this beautiful and perplexing life, world and vast universe actually is and all the endless challenges, dramas, forms, creations, anomalies and changes it delivers, offers and presents. Be it the on-going joys and sorrows, the gains and the losses, the successes and the failures. The pleasures and pain. The highs and the lows. The mundane and the miraculous. The world's quiet enduring and impersonal beauty and all its noise, cruelty and endearing indifference.

"You are the ocean, not the waves. Only this spiritual awareness of Reality can set us free."

As I see it, we all exist now as a unique and worthy temporary self-aware sensory embodied construct and conscious form of all that has come to pass and we also exist now as all that is yet to come. As I see it we are all the past, present and future as a unique, beautiful and worthy temporary embodied self-aware sensory moment and conscious construct of Reality. We are all temporary embodied, multiple and diverse expressions and constructs of Reality. This is absolutely something I believe and feel we can all directly come to fully recognise, know, respect, love, share and celebrate in all the beauty and brutality of birth, living, existing, playing, ageing, expression, decay and dying. 

            - The Immaculate Self

The on-going complexity and diversity of it all and its endless and on-going impersonal multiplicity and diversity of creations, forms, dramas, projections, desires, impulses, constructs and phenomena is its real immaculate and sacred beauty - its real transcendental, questionable, compelling and alluring  mystery. For me, it is all the one true enduring Reality recognising, realising and knowing its own timeless, boundless, ageless, immaculate and limitless existence. What some spiritual thinkers, teachers, philosophers and yogis reference and label as God-consciousness. It is Reality becoming and being fully conscious of its own immaculate and boundless existence, unity, beauty and enduring presence and emptiness. The I am of I am. Oneness. 

            The ocean, not the waves, and yet in this Truth the ocean and the waves are one. Absolute.

>BE PRESENT<>BE AWARE<>BE AWAKE<>KNOW<

As I see and know it, we all momentarily exist as a unique, beautiful and worthy temporary sensory embodied conscious expression and construct of Reality in a space-time continuum that has unlimited potential and endless on-going possibilities. Both creative and destructive. Both loving and harmful. Both unique and similar. Both small and great. Both many and one. Both beautiful and dark. Both joyous and sad. Both pleasing and unsatisfactory. Both mundane and miraculous. Both rewarding and disappointing. Both finite and infinite.

Wrongly or rightly, personally I do not think the past and present day world politics and organised religions have all the answers to what our future humanity should look like, become and be. It is its own on-going dance. For me, this is the great mystery that calls us all to seek, investigate and know. 

"The waves and the ocean are one."

Despite all that the world is, it is still a thing of wonder. Simply to exist is its own miracle. Something to be treasured, celebrated, loved and not abused. This Truth alone places us all in a position of loving-kindness and gratitude.

            - A New Paradigm

We all share and live in an ever-changing impersonal world of constant change that is still largely impacted and plagued by war, conflict, authoritarianism, greed, control, separation, hatred, prejudice, intolerance, violence, consumerism, self-gratification, ignorance and self-importance. 

With all the present day global environmental challenges and climate changes facing the future of our on-going precious, miraculous and shared humanity we all urgently need a fully united, enlightened and agreeable world leadership and collected consciousness and certainly not the present day divided and volatile one. World leaders or hierarchy individuals pursuing their own self-centred self-interests and personal desires to have more and more power, wealth, ownership, control, status, self-importance, superiority, self-gratification, admirers and authority will not bring a much needed united world consciousness and collective intention that will seriously act in the best interests and needs of the present day and future environmental and economic challenges and climate changes that we will all have to face going forward. 

I'd certainly like to think in the very near future that a new, enlightened and shared paradigm or world consciousness will reveal and show itself in all the unrest and conflict that plagues, harms and impacts this present day material and physical world of constant change. I would like to think, perhaps foolishly, that what is freely and lovingly offered and presented here on this esoteric blog might potentially influence and contribute in some positive, constructive, awakened and enlightened way. An invitation to be awake!

                Who knows?

All I know is we all deserve better than what most of us are still managing and facing today. For me, we are a world in crisis and it is urgently in need of an enlightened, united, intelligent and loving world shift in consciousness and leadership, certainly if humanity is to unite, endure and survive. Obviously, these are only my present day world views, opinions and thoughts on the volatile and vulnerable state of the world. I am no one of any social importance or influence and I am not saying any of this for us to get down on life. I am not trying to incite guilt, shame, worry, aversion, fear or blame. For me, it is all a spiritual calling to liberation, higher consciousness and awakened thought in the ever-changing face of it all. It is an attempt to fully reveal and establish Truth as the potential building blocks of life, birth, living, ageing, existing, decay and dying and the on-going uncertain, vulnerable and fragile future of humanity and the world. 

        This is not nihilism. It is a genuine love for all that is. The silent and still beauty of life.

My genuine love and prayers to you all. Please if you can help support and share this esoteric blog it would be deeply appreciated. A sincere thank you to all. To all embodied souls and self-aware constructs who remain fully committed to universal love, freedom, unity, longevity, wisdom, equality, beauty, higher-consciousness and peace, I salute you all. For me, we all deserve and need a united, enlightened, awake and loving world, and not a divided, harmful and toxic one. All one.

>BE STILL<>BE SILENT<>OBSERVE<>BE AWAKE<>KNOW<

        Blessed be. Be awake. Be free.

This esoteric blog is lovingly dedicated to my earthly mother 'Rita' who transitioned on the 12th December 2021. A truly selfless, kind, beautiful, spiritual, inspirational and loving embodied soul, friend, teacher and mother. 

All these things will come to pass. Only Truth endures.

The one who is ignorant identifies with the wave. The one who is awake identifies with the ocean.

This is how I know it to be. Be awake. Be free.

Additional author note: some of the words that I use here, like 'spirit', 'essence', God and 'oneness', could as easily be replaced with words like 'energy' and 'singularity' but I have kept to what I live and know. 

My only aim and focus here on this esoteric blog is to attempt to contribute in some way to what it is to be awake and have God-consciousness. Then who you are being or becoming, what you do, who you are with, what the world does or does not do will not impact or change who you essentially are. You will always know what true beauty, peace and freedom are and you will see it everywhere, in everyone and at all times. 

Whether other people or constructs acknowledge it or know of it, it will not matter, this truth of reality, identity and experience will always shine silently within and be the selfless, beautiful and miraculous making of one's precious and embodied life. Blessed be. I salute you all. 

"All creation is life itself and life is eternal."

"As I see and know it, we are all beautiful and unique temporary expressions of Reality. Wake up, be aware, celebrate and know. This is the simple message I have come to communicate, protect and share." I salute you all in this universal Self-knowledge.

        Here ends this spiritual communication.

The Many Faces of the One

What is this?

Who am I?

To all those world-wide embodied souls and truth-seekers who might or have visited and viewed this spiritual and philosophical contemplative blog -

           This will be my last and final additional article to this blog 'The Many Faces of the One'. 

ALL THINGS COME TO PASS

As an embodied self and temporary physical self-aware construct I have personally reached the end of all that I have to say on this esoteric matter of fully realising and knowing the ultimate truth of reality, identity and experience. This being the complete and final unity of Reality and all creation as one. Oneness.

I'd like to think that my so-called embodied personal and impersonal rambling has finally played itself out. Hoorah, Allah! Praise be to God! I can finally rest in complete contemplative silence on this much debated and carefully considered spiritual and philosophical matter. I may add some additional notes here and there after re-reading and reviewing any of the uploaded articles and notes but I can assure you that the compiled body of written work and collected material is now here in full to read, consider, examine, explore, challenge, ignore and maybe even contemplate and realise.

One with God. Identified with God. Complete unity with God. All One!

       Post-article 2024 note *Please always keep in mind and remember, that what is written and presented here on this esoteric and philosophical blog is only the spiritual ramblings and present revelations and conclusions of one embodied and spiritually inquisitive self-aware soul and committed truth-seeker and they must definitely be approached, viewed, read and treated as such. These spiritual and contemplative compiled unpublished philosophical writings and works do not represent a universal or collective opinion, view, belief or ideology. These are my own collected insights and present spiritual revelations and conclusions on the true nature of reality, experience and identity, although I am fully aware that some of them are certainly shared historically and universally by other like-minded embodied souls, esoteric and religious thinkers, truth-seekers, philosophers and yogis, both past and present.

These carefully compiled spiritual and philosophical writings and works are not here to oppose or dispute any other religious or spiritual teachings, ideologies, beliefs, views or philosophies. In fact, they are not here to oppose anything or anyone. This is my ultimate Truth as I presently know it to be. It is my own on-going direct and intimate relationship with God and Reality as I live and know it to be and what is presented here should be approached, viewed, read, investigated, challenged, examined and treated as such. I view and consider my temporary embodied self-aware self as a single-minded person and thinker of God. One who fully identifies with God. What I, rightly or wrongly, consider to be an atman-yogi - an embodied spiritual seer and lover of the highest Truth - Oneness. A lover of God. Of, Allah. Of, Krishna. Of, Truth.

>BE STILL<>BE SILENT<>OBSERVE<>KNOW<

"The one true miracle we all seek is Reality itself. Despite all its seeming chaos, cruelty, indifference and darkness, existence and to exist is the miracle we all embody and share. We are all the miracle, lived and played out, right here and now. This is the inexhaustible beauty, unity and perfection of all things, dramas and creations. All creations and phenomena have their existence and time with God alone The present is the past and the future. You are all that the past has been and you are all that the future will be. All one."

            This is what it is to be awake. You are the ocean and the waves.

WALKING THE PATH OF THE DEATHLESS

These carefully compiled unpublished esoteric writings and works are simply here for any or all spiritual and philosophical inquisitive mind, thinkers and truth-seekers to view, read, consider, dismiss and perhaps even examine, investigate, explore, challenge and intimately self discover. On my part there is no personal or intended hidden agenda or expectation attached to them. They simply are what they are, as directly guided and given. I only do and serve as intuitively guided and directed. This is what I consider to be a personal and heartfelt recorded and stated testament of my every-day relationship with God and Reality as I presently live, view and know it. Nothing more and nothing less. For me, all is as it is. One Reality. One Truth. One enduring Identity. The present is the past and the future. All One. Oneness.

I have lived and I am presently living this as my own experiential realised and embodied Truth.

Wrongly or rightly, I see it all as an selfless and embodied guided and directed personal and impersonal attempt at an emotional rewarding act of love, gratitude, grace and kindness in total honour and respect of all universal spiritual, religious, transcendental and philosophical teachings, ideologies, dogmas, beliefs, views and practices, both past and present, potentially and purposely pointing to the one ultimate, perennial, unchanging, timeless and unsurpassable Truth. What I personally see and know as esoteric medicine for the soul. This one universal and perennial Truth and medicine being the complete and final unity and knowing of Reality and all creation, constructs and forms as one - Oneness. For me, the Self and the universe are one and the same. Reality and the universe are one and the same. All one. Oneness.

One Reality. One Truth. One enduring, ageless and timeless Identity. All One.

This esoteric Truth and Reality that I communicate and speak of being one inexhaustible and enduring supreme Intelligence and Identity known, expressed, celebrated, praised, shared and served in many different names, forms, beliefs, views, ideologies, practices, dogmas and ways. Be it God, Krishna, Allah, the Tao, 'emptiness', Buddha-nature or simply Reality as it is. Personally I make no distinction. To me, it is all one unchanging, ever-present, timeless, ageless and enduring Truth, Identity and Reality, despite whatever name, label or conceptual dogma, opinion, belief, construct or view we might give or attach to it. It is as it is. Unchanging, boundless, ageless, timeless, inexhaustible, without attributes, untouched, ever-present, immaculate and eternal. Of this, I remain mindful. The past, the present and the future are one.

All is Eternity seeing, recognising, realising and knowing Eternity. All One.

"He who sees all beings in the Self and the Self in all beings no longer hides in fear. For the man of wisdom, in whom all beings have become his own Self, how can delusion, how can sorrow befall the seer of oneness? He is all-pervading, shining, bodiless, unscarred, without sinews, pure, untouched by sin. He is the seer, wise, encompassing all, self-existent." - The Upanishads

WHAT IS REAL?

What is openly and freely offered, delivered, communicated and presented here is one man's messy and genuine guided and directed attempt and on-going committed endeavour to make complete peace with death and the on-going demands, changes, conditions, challenges and needs of living and playing out this somewhat seemingly weird but beautifully strange, miraculous and ever-changing embodied self-aware transitory existence. It is one man's genuine spiritual and philosophical on-going and committed search and need for absolute Truth and the complete return back to Godhead. What I see and know as the true ageless and timeless Self, realising, knowing, respecting, serving, celebrating and loving the Self so to speak. Reality fully as it is. Here and now and always. One Reality. One Truth. One enduring Identity. This is the one universal and absolute Truth that unites us all, totally free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, self-importance, separateness, difference and intolerance. A timeless and ever-present Truth that fully recognises and acknowledges that we are all born of 'emptiness', have our being in 'emptiness' and we all return to 'emptiness', having never really left 'emptiness'. As stated, the Self and the universe are one and the same. Reality and the universe are one and the same. All One. We are the ocean and the waves.

There is no-where from which I came.

And there is no-where to which I go.

I never arrived therefore I never really leave.

I am the ever-present and all-knowing enduring Self.

Ageless, limitless, boundless, timeless and deathless.

THE GRACE AND BLESSING OF GRATITUDE

I would like to personally and continually acknowledge and thank all the unexpected world-wide visitors and souls who have so far intentionally or unintentionally visited, graced and viewed this esoteric and philosophical blog on the timeless and ageless Truth and unity of all creation, forms, constructs, dramas and existence. I salute you all. Blessed be. Be awake.

You have all unknowingly and indirectly helped and encouraged me as a temporary embodied self and self-aware transitory conscious construct to fully commit and complete this on-going guided and directed earthly endeavour to continue to closely question, examine, explore, challenge and investigate the truth of reality, experience and identity. To ask, 'what is real?' It has certainly also helped me, the embodied mind-body construct, find my own genuine and so-called worthy place in the ever-changing and challenged sensory world of transitory things, dramas, constructs, forms, beliefs, opinions, views, creations and phenomena, whilst all the time residing and continuously identifying with ultimate Truth. Be it God, Krishna, Allah, the Tao, 'emptiness', Buddha-nature or simply Reality as it is. This Truth being the true oneness and unity of all creation, existence, dramas and phenomena. This Reality being our one true and real enduring, deathless, ageless and timeless nature, identity and essence - 'emptiness'.

I am deeply and genuinely grateful to all world-wide and embodied souls and awakened constructs for this gracious and worthwhile blessing. My only genuine and personal earthly impersonal wish would be for this perennial and timeless Truth to reach, touch and influence as many expressions, creations and forms of Reality as humanly possible. Despite the large volume of unpublished esoteric and philosophical works and writings offered, compiled and presented here, it is a simple and selfless intended nudge and reminder of the true unity, nature, oneness and interconnectedness of all creation, phenomena, constructs, dramas, creations, worlds, realms and forms. As it is. All One. An ever-present, timeless and enduring universal Truth totally free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, division, self-importance, difference, superiority and intolerance. 

As I see and know it, we are all born of the Self, have our temporary embodied existence in and of the Self and we all return to the Self, having never really left the Self. Here by the grace of God, Reality, am I and all creations. The Self and the universe are always one and the same. This is our one true and real enduring, deathless, ageless and timeless nature. Reality as it is. This is what it is to be awake.

            This is the absolute unity I live, celebrate and speak of. All One. Oneness.

WHO AM I?

As I see and know it, we are all born, created and made of the Self, have our being in and with the Self and finally returning to the Self, having never really ever left the Self, and having always been the Self. Our sole existence as the fleeting, miraculous and transitory song, dance and play of it all is simply to fully realise, love, serve, honour, know, respect and celebrate the true Self in all creation, things, constructs, dramas, phenomena and forms. As I see and know it, this is the only lasting and genuine way to complete enduring universal unity, love, freedom, tolerance, respect, wisdom, immortality and peace. What I see as us simply fully realising and knowing that the Self and the universe are one and the same. It is the transcendental and complete Self-realisation and knowledge of our true nature, identity and essence - our Buddha-nature. The past is the present and the present is the future. The future is the present and the past. All one. Oneness.

One Truth. One Reality. One Identity. All One.

"Those who have believed and whose hearts have rest in the remembrance of Allah. Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. Those who believe and do right: joy is for them and bliss their journey's end. The East and the West belong to Allah: wherever you turn there is His face. Allah is all pervading and all knowing." - The Qur'an. 

I openly admit and acknowledge I am no Mooji, Eckhart Tolle, Sadhguru or Rupert Spira but I do take great joy in the knowing that such influential and trusted embodied spiritual thinkers and committed truth-teachers as these are reaching and influencing such a large and world-wide interested spiritual and philosophical thirsty audience. I also appreciate that the human condition, for what it is, presents us all with a variety of individual, different and collective inward and outward challenges, changes and obstacles to overcome and it is easy to want to create strong personal and collective stories, ideas, views, opinions, beliefs, ideologies and conclusions as to why things are the way they are in order to find and have lasting acceptance, relief, happiness, freedom, security, certainty, immortality and comfort. We all know with time, as embodied self-aware transitory forms and constructs, that our created and conditioned lives will come to pass, cease and end. As embodied souls and self-aware constructs we are all here for a limited time only. It is very clear and perhaps unsettling and painful in the vast strangeness and beauty of it all to know that in one way or another we are all temporary bodily visitors and constructs on an ever-changing, transient and ever-challenged evolving and devolving planet. 

Attachment to the world of change and all its creations can only result in suffering.

My own personal and impersonal embodied spiritual and truth-seeking commitments have certainly been one of endlessly trying to understand and fully accept death and all the loss, cruelty, hatred, confusion, pain and disappointment that can come with simply living, ageing and dying, both individually and universally. What you will find, examine and read here are the unfolding findings, revelations and messy spiritual and philosophical conclusions of one man's on-going genuine spiritual and worldly endeavour to overcome the feeling and impact of suffering and what it is to be fully awake and identified with the concept, identity, truth and idea of God. To directly know what it is and means to be fully in the conceptual and cognitive world of dramas, constructs, appearances, ideas and stuff but not to be identified with it or attached to it. To finally and purposely make peace with the transient and ever-changing strange and beautiful anomaly of birth, living, existing, ageing and dying, totally free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, self-importance, separateness, superiority and intolerance. To fully realise and know what it is to be truly God-conscious. To be fully awake and free of ignorance and suffering. An Atman-yogi. One who has fully realised that the Self of the individual is totally identical to the Self of the universe. One Identity, One Reality. One Truth. Genuinely and fully realising and knowing the bliss and freedom of Self-knowledge. The Self and all creations as one. For me, this is what it is to be awake. The waves and the ocean are one.

"Be still and know I am God. I will be honoured by every nation. I will be honoured throughout the world." - Psalm 46:10 The Bible

KNOWING TRUTH

As a personal note, I'd like to think the one thing or insight anyone can really take from all these compiled unpublished spiritual and philosophical writings and works is some genuine awareness and clarity into the impermanence and emptiness of it all - the simple transcendental truth and life-affirming acceptance of the way things really are - the perennial and unchanging Truth of reality, experience and identity - Oneness. Fully, intimately and directly recognising, realising and knowing one's true deathless nature and essence.

For me, our true essence, nature and identity is with God and God alone. For me, this is the enduring and changeless Truth that establishes and unites us all regardless of appearances, form, opinions, views, beliefs, attitudes, differences, ideas, dramas and behaviour. For me, all is the one Absolute, regardless of the name we might use, give and attach to it. Be it God, Krishna, Allah, the Tao, 'emptiness', Buddha-nature or simply Reality as it is. This one universal Truth is our true ever-present and enduring essence, origin, presence and nature, completely free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, self-importance, superiority and intolerance. It is a Truth that fully recognises and acknowledges that we are all born of the Self, have our being in and with the Self and we all eventually return to the Self, having never really left the Self. 

This is the one true ever-present and timeless Seer of all. In this supreme transcendental Self-knowledge all creation and creations are known and celebrated as this one Truth.

One Reality. One Identity. One enduring, immaculate and changeless Truth. All One.

As I see and know it, there is no forever in the worldly things, conditions, constructs, events, creations, views, opinions, projections, ideas and dramas of this ever-changing and transient conceptual and cognitive world of the senses. All these so-called happenings, dramas, situations, constructs, phenomena and events will eventually come to pass, cease and end. It is unavoidable. Only pure Reality is eternal and real.

For any of us as a physical and embodied self-aware construct and transitory form there might not be a next year, a next month, a next week or even a next day. This is the uncertainty, certainty and truth of having an embodied self-aware existence. This is a mortal and humanitarian position that we all embody and share regardless of our personal circumstances, fortunes or misfortunes, gains and losses, views, opinions, status, ideologies, wealth, self-importance, culture and beliefs. For me, certainly precious and deserving are all living things, creatures, creations and forms. For me, all appearances and constructs are a moment of eternity temporarily embodied here for a limited time. This is what I mean by the 'emptiness' of it all. For me, our true identity, essence and nature is always with the one true and enduring inexhaustible Self. What you might call or know to be 'God', 'Krishna', 'Allah', the 'Tao' or simply Reality as it is. One ultimate Truth or Reality as it is known and served by many names, beliefs, views, ideologies, opinions, dogmas and interpretations. One Reality. One Truth. One inexhaustible Identity. All One. I am within you and you are within me. We are one and the same. The Self and the universe are one and the same. Reality and the universe are one and the same. The past is the present and the present is the future. All One.

You are Eternity seeing, recognising, realising and knowing Eternity.

"All is change in the world of the senses, but changeless is the supreme Lord of Love. Meditate on him, be absorbed in him, wake up from the dream of separateness."

                                                                                                            - The Upanishads

KNOWING THE TRUE SELF

Let me also make this point absolutely clear to all: this is not a blog about becoming or being religious or spiritual, or blindly following a well presented and argued esoteric ideology, view, opinion, belief or philosophy. This is one person's individual and messy guided attempt to examine, explore, understand and accept the truth and struggles of the human condition and the ever-changing vicissitudes of birth, ageing, pain, loss, grief, restlessness, worry, confusion, insecurity, hatred, uncertainty and death. In some small way it is a genuine attempt to fully come to terms with the human condition and experience and not to shy or hide away from it. It is an on-going attempt to explore, understand and accept what it is to be fully human and what it is to not be bound, limited, paralysed, fooled, hindered, confused, trapped and entangled by it. To know what it is to be totally fearless and free in both living, ageing and dying.

I am always asking of my embodied self-aware conscious self, who or what is the one having all these spiritual revelations? What is it to be fully in the world, awake and yet not imprisoned, entangled or limited by it? This is what has personally inspired me and brought me back to Godhead. This being the Truth and identity with one ever-present and enduring Reality as it is. The one true essence, source and origin of all transitory creations, forms, experiences, names, dramas, phenomena, beliefs and things. For me, it is the one Truth that universally unites us all regardless of appearances, circumstances, status, beliefs, culture, ideologies, views and behaviour, free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, self-importance, superiority and intolerance. Reality truly as it is. Of this we can all become completely mindful - the Self of the individual is identical to the Self of the universe. One Reality. One deathless and unchanging immaculate Self.

I AM WITHIN AND YOU ARE WITHIN ME

What is this?

Who am I?

What is here to read, consider and contemplate has all mostly been driven by the past personal embodied fear and confusion of death and the visiting sense of meaninglessness and hopelessness that can appear at times to permeate the ever-changing strangeness, challenges and restless waters of birth, ageing, pain, loss, grief, worry, lack, disappointment, insecurity, uncertainty, hatred and death. The what, why, how and the who. Nothing particularly special or new in esoteric, religious and philosophical thinking and thought although I feel it to be totally worthy and valuable to the human experience and condition. Especially when so many embodied souls, constructs and forms are constantly trying to overcome and change the injustices and hardships caused by those in a grossly privileged, affluent and self-important position of status, power, entitlement, authority, material and financial superiority. I know how easy it is to feel limited, bound, paralysed, fearful, fooled, weak and threatened by the things, dramas, conditions and events of this ever-changing and transient conceptual world especially when we are strongly identified with them or feel hindered and burdened by them or attached.

Attachment to the world of change can only result in suffering.

Of course I know this embodied self-aware form and transitory construct will die. It will disappear and end sooner or later. It might remain a temporary memory or impression in the mind of others for a short or long period of so-called conceptual and cognitive time. People might speak of it or not, but it will be no more. For me, this is the strangeness, beauty and emptiness of it all and this somewhat material dis-ease and dis-content of the human condition and experience resulted in one man's messy but genuine committed attempt and struggles to make sense of it all and to fully understand and overcome suffering. 

                To be awake.

What is written, presented and shared here has been one man's inner and outward struggle and on-going spiritual pursuit to fully realise and establish a genuine understanding and knowledge of reality, experience and identity and a need for real and enduring peace, acceptance, love, satisfaction, truth, fearlessness, simplicity, beauty and freedom in the chaos, uncertainty, cruelty, weirdness, miraculous and messiness of it all. The simple and direct Self-realisation that however much we, as an embodied form and conscious construct, might create, build, consume, acquire, have, achieve, control, desire and accumulate, death will certainly win out in the end. Only Reality endures the passing of all things, dramas and creations.

For me, the only real permanence is 'emptiness'. It is an unchanging Truth and presence that endures all and is ever-present. It is the one true indestructible and enduring essence, source, presence and origin of all things, forms and creations. It is a Truth that sets us free of all that is limiting, changing, fleeting, false and binding. It is the one enduring and indestructible source, origin and essence of all creation and the one same boundless source to which all creations return, free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, self-importance and intolerance. Of this we must all be mindful - the Self and the universe are one and the same.

One Truth. One Identity. One enduring Reality. All One.

I'd like to think that this universal and perennial Truth is clearly present here in these collected spiritual and philosophical unpublished writings and works even if my interpretations of it are a bit all over the place, which is not surprising because my embodied life has been a bit all over the place too. Genuinely, the truth and enduring nature of reality, experience and identity is all that matters to me and to this I remain fully committed and identified. Of course there is always the possibility that I am completely wrong, but I stand firm by the Buddha's teaching on 'impermanence'. For me, seeing the emptiness of it all is to embrace it all for what it is, free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, self-importance, separateness, bondage, superiority, illusion and intolerance. It does not necessarily change what things are but our identity and experience can be one of freedom rather than bondage. One of acceptance rather than denial. One of truth and honesty rather than one of ignorance and confusion. One of kindness rather than ill-will and hatred. One of inclusion rather than exclusion. One of Truth rather than ignorance. One of love rather than shame, blame, hatred, ill-will and anger. I'd like to think in some small way that what is written, communicated and presented here can help us all embrace, tolerant and respect our differences and unite us all in the ending of all suffering. This being a fully awake and united world that acknowledges, embraces, respects and celebrates all its diversity and multitude of differences, beliefs, views, ideologies, ideas, opinions and cultures. This is the miracle that is creation.

            We are all united in this miracle of creation. Separation and individuality are illusions.

I am within you and you are within me. We are one and the same. The Self of the individual is identical to the Self of the universe. The Self and the universe are one and the same. This is the absolute Truth of Oneness. Of this, I am certain. In this transcendental Self-knowledge the 'I' is absolute peace.

EMPTINESS IS THE ONE ENDURING REALITY

As a final personal reading recommendation note; I would highly recommend to you Rupert Spira's published manuscript titled 'Being Myself' from the Essence of Meditation Series. Despite having the embodied form of being a somewhat short manuscript its enduring and perennial wisdom within is truly boundless, genuine, profoundly deep, insightful and radiate. I find that all that needs to be said is perfectly written and masterfully said. Obviously this is only an individual and personal opinion and recommendation but 'Being Myself' is definitely worth a visit and read for those souls genuinely interested and committed in exploring and understanding the true nature of reality, experience and identity.

Genuinely, in all this craziness, beauty, weirdness, messiness and chaos that can be life thank you all once again for your embodied time, generosity, attention, grace and presence. I'd like to think, like me, you too as a temporary embodied self-aware self and transitory construct will also fully realise and know directly and intimately the true and full miracle of an embodied and awakened heart and mind. And at best with this spiritual and philosophical understanding, insight and knowledge into the ultimate truth of reality, experience and identity fully cultivate and establish an embodied and palpable awakened state and presence of peace, beauty, simplicity, freedom, plenitude, forgiveness, gratitude, fearlessness, acceptance, tolerance, respect, wisdom and love in the esoteric and philosophical knowing of reality, experience and identity as it is - despite the on-going strangeness, uncertainty, impermanence, messiness, craziness, beauty and fleetingness of it all. Nothing special or new, although, for me, definitely worthy, valuable, always needed and rewarding. This is an impersonal and selfless act of love, grace, respect and kindness for the human condition and all its myriad and diversity of transient and ever-changing forms, conditions, dramas, creations, beliefs, challenges, views and behaviours. If any of what is here manages to help lessen or even remove the proliferation of hatred, ill-will, inequality and intolerance in this beautifully strange material and ever-changing world of change then it has been a truly worthwhile and fulfilling endeavour.

For me, it is to fully abide and identify with Truth (God) as the one enduring and unchanging essence, origin, presence and source of all things, appearances, forms, creations, dramas, phenomena and constructs. This is the inexhaustible, indestructible and boundless unity of all creation, phenomena, dramas and forms, free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, separateness, bondage and intolerance. One world. One Truth. One united existence. The Self and the universe are one and the same. The Self of the individual is identical to the Self of the universe - Oneness. The past is the present and the present is the future. All one.

All one. All love. All Spirit. All God.

I am the 'I-am' of I am.

There is only really one enduring Reality and ultimately all things are this one ever-present Reality. 

Plain and simple.

I am That! All is That! Reality as it is. Oneness. Tat tvam asi.

An additional post-article reflective note: On reflection of re-reading and editing this esoteric and philosophical blog I do appreciate that in these times of rapid change in thinking and the growing diversity in attitudes and mindsets to spiritual and religious practices, views, beliefs, opinions and ideologies that the usage of the word 'God' or 'Allah' might cause some unwanted or unwelcome confusion, debate, aversion and indifference to these particular unpublished esoteric and philosophical collected writings and works. For me personally this is not a problem or concern and it is something that I am completely comfortable with, be it God, Allah, Tao, Reality as it is, Buddha-nature or Krishna. I simply seek to express the one Truth that unites and bides us all, free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, self-importance, separateness, bondage and intolerance. To always seek to be mindful of God. 

          One with God. United with God. Identified with God. The ocean and the waves are one.

I fully acknowledge and accept that the use of the word 'God' or even 'Allah' might be off putting and problematic to other minds, constructs and souls in approaching, viewing, examining and contemplating what is available and presented here on this esoteric and philosophical blog. I can assure you it is never my personal intention to misdirect, fool or mislead anyone. For me, figuring out who we really are and what our life is and what it means to be 'me' or us, is an ever-changing and self-fulfilling inward and outward unfolding and layered journey of impersonal and personal self-inquiry and self-discovery in and of itself, and I would never foolishly assume what is here will assist, inspire, complete and fully please everyone who reads it. For me, it is simply the best of what I feel I have freely and spiritually to offer and give to other embodied souls and truth-seekers at this present moment. It simply is, one imperfect finger pointing to the moon. One moment and fragment of eternity temporarily embodied here for a limited time and doing its own unfolding and graced act in an attempt to embrace, unite and love it all. For me, God and Reality are the same. God = Reality and Reality = God. Know God, know Reality. Know Reality, know God. One truth, two concepts. Plain and simple. Make of it what you will. It is my dance. My song. My play. My Atman-Gita - my song of the true deathless Self. Here by the grace of God, am I. It is the song that sings, shares and celebrates that the Self of the individual is identical to the Self of the universe. The Self and the universe are one and the same. One enduring, ageless and timeless Identity - Reality.

It is all the 'I-am' of I am.

Its enduring and ever-present silence and stillness is always present, knowable and palpable.

THE SILENT WITNESS

As a temporary and conditioned embodied self and self-aware transitory construct and form, I feel it is essential and important to have direct and intimate awareness and clarity in fully understanding and knowing who and what we are and what reality truly is. In this spiritually informed and fully enlightened way we are no longer fooled, trapped, limited, bound or misled by the false worldly illusions and fleeting promises of life. We stop buying so easily into what others are telling us to be and do and firstly figure out who we really are and what it is that really matters to us, ideally free of prejudice, hate, ill-will, ignorance, self-importance, separateness, bondage and intolerance. The potential knowledge of pure God-consciousness.

Rightly or wrongly, I personally feel part of this is directly and honestly facing up to the fleetingness, uncertainty, certainty, mystery and strangeness of it all. For me, it is clearly seeing and knowing, that in a heartbeat or the blink of an eye, all the ever-changing worldly dramas, concerns, events, demands and worries of life and embodied living can suddenly all be over and done with. All that we might endeavour to become and be will not endure forever, and it might all be over much sooner than we actually think. This is simply the way things are whether we embrace it, ignore it, take joy in it or oppose it. I think this is all part of us fully owning our own desire and need for genuine happiness and peace independent of all the on-going changes, dramas, demands and challenges of simply having and living the human condition and experience. It is all transitory, ever-changing and empty whether we choose to embrace it or not. All that is, will cease to exist. Only Reality endures. The waves cease. The ocean endures

Nothing written, presented or offered here is conditional. It only asks us that we might come to intimately and directly know that which we already are regardless of appearances, dramas and behaviour, free of opinions, views, beliefs, ideologies, ideas, dogma, concepts, ignorance and suffering. Personally I do not see any of what life is as being anyone's fault. There is no one to really blame. It is simply the way things are. I'd like to think with the invited clarity and insights offered here on this spiritual and philosophical blog we can be truly direct and honest with ourselves and others in who we decide to become and be and what we choose do with our lives, or we may even decide to relinquish the need to become and be anything but our innate transcendental and selfless Self. The one true enduring and ever-present true Self. This decision is not for me or anyone to decide. It is yours and yours alone. It will come by God's own grace. You too will directly and intimately realise and know that the Self of the individual is identical to the Self of the universe. The Self and the universe are one and the same. This is the truth of Oneness. The Deathless Self.

The Buddha states; "Better to live one day seeing the impermanence of all things than to live a hundred years of being blind to it." In my experience, this spiritual insight alone is certainly a worthy blessing to living a more fulfilling, free, loving, fearless, peaceful, tolerable, open, kind, inclusive, wise, forgiving and rewarding life. It all opens up and presents us with the real and genuine possibility and potential for a united loving world free of hatred, ill-will, intolerance, prejudice, ignorance, separateness, bondage and suffering and it all begins with us. Who and what we are is what we bring to the world. Better to be awake than asleep. To be free of illusion and falsehood.

TRUTH INVITES KINDNESS

 "All sensory experiences and objects of experience are impermanent. Even the very act of having and knowing experience is impermanent, and so too with experiencing. This is why I say that only 'emptiness' is real and that experience, experiencing and all objects of experience are essentially this enduring 'emptiness'. Suffering only exist in relationship to experience and experiencing when we think that which is impermanent is actually real, substantial and permanent. This is what I mean by the 'I-am' of I am. Only 'emptiness' is real and enduring. The only enduring reality is Reality itself. Of this we must be fully aware and mindful to be totally free of all suffering and ignorance.We are all one with Reality. Reality is us."

None of what is written and presented here can take away the fact that we as self-aware embodied constructs and transitory forms are only brief visitors and souls on an ever-changing and challenged structure of mass named and called Earth and I do not say any of this so we get down on living, ageing and dying. It is to ask and invite us all to open up to the possibility to be true to who we really are and what reality is and to potentially encourage us to make the most of our precious and God gifted and graced time in the ever-changing challenges, dramas and experiences we have and share in this strange anomaly we call living, being, playing and dying. Potentially realising and knowing that the self of the individual is identical to the Self of the universe. The self of the individual is identical to the Self of the universe. The present is the past and the future is the present. The past, the present and the future are one. All one.

It doesn't mean that all the challenges, uncertainties, messiness, craziness and unexpected changes and dramas will simply disappear and go away from all our ever-changing lives but it does potentially open up the real possibility and prospect that we all might endeavour to fully live and have a genuine, loving, kind, intimate, tolerant, awaken, real and rewarding life with no regrets, ignorance, hate, shame, anger, fear, ill-will, prejudice, delusion, denial or blame. A genuine, open and honest life where we have freely loved and been loved despite the messiness, strangeness and fleetingness of it all. To fully and directly realise and know the one true ever-present and enduring identity of  'I-am'. For me, it is to directly realise and know that separateness is the illusion and oneness is the Truth. Perhaps only then will we all truly put aside our outward differences and not put walls around ourselves and others. We will all stand united and as one in the diversity, strangeness and beauty of all our fleeting and miraculous humanity and experience.

Perhaps those individuals and groups of individuals in the grossly privileged position of power, status, entitlement, authority, trust and financial superiority and security in the world will considered more carefully the real impact and damaging consequences of their reluctance and unwillingness to seriously act to protect the livelihoods and welfare of other less fortune souls. This is why I think it is important for us all to know that which is not bound, limited, entangled, threatened, impacted, changed, hindered or touched by the ever-changing things, events, challenges, conditions and dramas of this ever-changing and transitory world of the senses - The Deathless Self. This being the true enduring unity and oneness of all creation, phenomena, creations, dramas and forms. One Truth. One Reality. One enduring Identity. All One. Of this I am always mindful - the Self of the individual is identical to the Self of the universe. The Self and the universe are one and the same. Reality is what we truly are. This is the truth of the immaculate Self.

Precious is this embodied life and precious is everything and one who takes part in it. 

Thank you. Genuinely, thank you. One thousand trillion obeisances to you all.

I'd like to think you will find something of your true Self in these unpublished esoteric articles and works.

This esoteric blog is dedicated to my earthly mother 'Rita' who transitioned on the 12th December 2021. A truly selfless, kind, beautiful, spiritual and loving embodied soul, friend, teacher and mother. 

All is Eternity seeing, recognising, realising and knowing Eternity.

Post-article October 2023 note: Let me make this absolutely clear to all who visit and read this blog. The God or Truth I communicate and speak of here is one of pure love and total unification of mind, body and spirit with all things, forms, appearances, phenomena, beliefs, views, ideologies, constructs and creations. What I communicate and speak of is an all encompassing love and unity for all humanity and all creation, differences and forms. For me, it takes no personal stance or position, superiority or authority in or on these matters. It would never seek to intentionally harm, fool, use or abuse others or ask them to adhere to some formulated dogma, view, ideology, belief or condition. What I speak of, has no self-importance or ideology attached to it. It is Truth as Truth, and Reality as Reality. Plain and simple.

Here by the grace of God am I. Praise be to God. Allah be praised.

What I communicate and speak of, only serves in the complete and full knowledge that all is Truth and Truth alone. It is not self-seeking as to ask, manipulate or need others to serve its own purpose. It simply is as it is. It is love itself, and therefore it is one with all creation, phenomena, creations and forms. It is always loving and serving the Self as Self, and always identified with the Self as and being Self. If the fully awakened heart and mind is genuinely identified with Truth then there is no agenda, position, stance or dogma attached to its existence. It simply is as it is, fully recognising and knowing this to be the Truth of all creation, forms, dramas and manifestations. For me, when you truly know God then who or what is there to oppose, harm, shame, control, manipulate, fear or hate. All is one with God (Allah) and of God.

For the God-knowing mind, the Self is always with all, in all and as all. One's embodied self-aware temporary and transitory existence is only to love, honour, celebrate and serve all in this supreme spiritual and philosophical Self-knowledge and Truth. This perennial Truth is the unchanging and immaculate Self and therefore not consumed or identified with all that changes. Despite the ever-changing and on-going dramas, conditions, situations and events of this ever-changing sensory and conceptual world it always radiates and fully embodies this supreme Truth. Always loving all and serving all in the supreme pure knowledge of Self (God) as the one true changeless and inexhaustible identity, origin and source of all creation, dramas, forms and things. This universal and unconditioned transcendental love that I speak of asks nothing or anything of anyone. It only adheres to its true identity with the truth of Reality. All things, dramas, forms and creations being born of this one enduring and ever-present Reality, and all things dramas, forms and creations dying to this one enduring and ever-present Reality. One with God.

It does not require or need to be served or praised. It is the knowledge of it that serves and honours it. It does not need to acquire, build or have a church, mosque or synagogue in its name. It alone is its own temple and all things always reside in, of and with it. Its enduring and ever-present Truth is universal and therefore it does not seek to make or create walls, conditions and rules to keep others in or out. It is all encompassing and loving of all. It fully celebrates and has love in its own enduring and ever-present existence. It alone is all things and all things are united in its supreme knowing and knowledge. It is one with all whether we honour it, serve it, praise it or not. It is the one true source, essence and origin of all creation. All is united and one in its Truth regardless. One Truth. One Reality. One enduring Identity. All One. This is the supreme truth that the Self of the individual is identical to the Self of the universe. The Self and the universe are one and the same. This is the true oneness of all creation and phenomena. Absolute. Pure and simple.

This is the supreme and unsurpassable Truth and God that I communicate and speak of. Only this.

'One with God. Unity with God. Always with God. Praise be to God. Allah be praised.' 

Here ends this spiritual communication. Blessed be. I salute you all. 

The waves and the ocean are one.

I AM THAT, I AM.

THE TRANSCENDENTAL BLISS OF SELF-KNOWING.

 All worlds and constructs have their becoming and being in me alone.

They exist and resided in me and with me alone.

In me, with me, of me, as me and only because of me alone.

I, alone, am all that is.

The becoming and being of worlds and constructs does not change or affect that which I am.

I am unmoved, unchanged and unaffected by the becoming and being of worlds and constructs.

This includes all sensory objects of mind, mind-consciousness and mind itself.

Both body and mind have their temporary becoming and being in me alone.

The same is true of the senses -

seeing, hearing, taste, smell, touch and mental perception.

All have their temporary becoming and being in me alone.

I alone am the one true source, essence and nature of all that is and all that will ever be.

I alone am the one and true ever-abiding identity and reality of all that is known and unknown.

Existence and non-existence only reside in and with me and of me alone.

I alone am. This truth of reality, experience and identity is absolute, pure and unsurpassable.

Never was I born and never do I die. I forever remain unborn, ageless and deathless. 

I am without beginning, middle and end.

All forms have their becoming and being in and with me alone, and yet I remain ever formless.

All forms have their birth and death in and with me alone and yet I am without birth or death.

At all times, I remain completely unaffected, unmoved, unhindered, unaltered and unchanged.

I don't come or arrive from anywhere and neither do I leave or go anywhere.

I am completely free of becoming and being.

I am completely free of time, space and form.

I am the ever-present and permanent 'I-am'.

This unsurpassable truth is the one true and ever-abiding identity and reality of all that is.

I am That, I am.

This is the absolute transcendental bliss and pure knowledge of esoteric Self-knowing.

Awaken and always fully abide in this ever-present and enduring state of 'I-am'.

Free, immaculate, inexhaustible, unhindered, unlimited, plentiful and ever-present.

Untouched, unaffected, unmoved, formless, ageless, changeless and deathless.

No one need acquire it, as it alone is.

No one need go in search of it, as it alone is.

It is completely free of time, space and form, therefore ever-present and fully attained.

No one need find it, as it was never truly lost.

No one need attain it, as it is what we already are.

It alone is, as 'I-am'.

All alone and everything is this. Plain and simple.

This transcendental bliss is indestructible, boundless, inexhaustible, real, permanent, palpable, enduring, unlimited, eternal, pure, perfect and ever-present.

Blessed are those embodied souls who fully reside awake in this ever-present pure state and bliss of Self.

I am the 'I-am' of I am.

All is this.

I am this.

You are this!

Om, shanti, shanti, shanti. 'I-am', peace, peace, peace.

This esoteric blog is dedicated to my earthly mother 'Rita' who transitioned on the 12th December 2021. A truly selfless, kind, beautiful, spiritual and loving embodied soul, friend, teacher and mother. 

A post-article 2023 note: this particular spiritual article encompasses all that I would want to say on the matter of fully realising and knowing the truth of reality, identity and experience. Despite all my on-going efforts to upload all my inspired and collected spiritual and philosophical writings and works to this blog this sole article alone confidently and concisely states my own spiritual and philosophical experience and conclusion on reality, identity and experience. There is nothing here I would change.

You and the Universe are one and the same. The waves and the ocean are one.

Here ends this spiritual communication.

You are LIGHT

 You are LIGHT.

The LIGHT of Self.

Untouched,

Unmoved,

Unchanged,

Unhindered, 

Unaffected,

By all that is and can be.

Inexhaustible.

Limitless.

Plentiful.

Immaculate.

Eternal.

Perfection.

You are this.

All is this.

This is the truth of the Self.

I am that, I-am.

The 4 Sacred Treasures

The 4 Sacred Spiritual Treasures

My first greatest treasure is, meditation.

My second is, silence.

My third is, solitude.

And my fourth is, fasting.

For me, these are my 4 greatest and sacred treasures,

My dearest and nearest spiritual friends.

Whenever I am with my four friends,

The seeds of understanding and compassion ripen.

My mind becomes serene and clear,

With an ocean-like awareness and clarity,

Reflecting and revealing things as they really are.

May these four spiritual friends be companions to all the world.

May they be treasured and loved by all who know them,

And as long as sentient beings exist may they too exist,

Bringing bliss, freedom, beauty, love, wisdom, unity and peace to all the world.

May I live to protect them, to share them, to honour them and to love them.

May I never forget them, or disown them, or neglect them.

Wherever these 4 treasures are, may people adore them.

Wherever these 4 treasures are, may people love and protect them.

May whoever should endeavour to cultivate, embody and live these 4 spiritual treasures,

Be they completely free of all suffering, attachment and ignorance,

And be a tangible and palpable joy to all the world and its ever-changing creations.

May their lives silently and freely direct all beings to perfect peace, love, freedom and bliss.

The ultimate and supreme state of complete esoteric Self-realisation and pure wisdom.

Lokha Samathaha Sukhino Bhavantu

May all beings everywhere be happy!

Post-article 2023 note: this particular article was written very early on in my attempts and exploits of examining and investigating the truth of reality, identity and experience. This was over a period when I was heavily focused and involved in Buddhist studies and attending Buddhist retreats. Despite my present spiritual and philosophical tendencies and exploits to be more leaning towards Advaita Vedanta (non-duality) and Bhakit Yoga (devotion) as stated in other uploaded articles, my Buddhist studies and experience has played a large, important and valuable part in reaching the spiritual and philosophical conclusions and revelations that are presented here throughout this esoteric blog. All fingers pointing to the same enduring and ever-present moon, so to speak. All paths leading to the same destination and outcome.

You and the Universe are one and the same. The waves and ocean are one.

Who am I?

 What is this?

Who am I?

All of this will cease to exist:-

eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind;

seeing, hearing, smell, taste, touch, any and all objects of mind;

sights, sounds, smells, tastes, feelings, any and all mental perceptions;

and so too with all sensory realms and mind-consciousness,

therefore, who am I and what is this?

This esoteric blog is dedicated to my earthly mother 'Rita' who transitioned on the 12th December 2021. A truly selfless, kind, beautiful, spiritual and loving embodied soul, friend, teacher and mother. 

"We all live and play out our precious lives in the unfolding presence of a genuine everyday miracle. 

It is abundantly and endlessly surrounded and full of tiny miracles impacting and playing out our so-called embodied lives. 

We too are that everyday miracle that so easily goes unnoticed and missed unless we are genuinely awake and alive to it. This is what it is to be fully awake and truly alive to the inexhaustible beauty of it all despite everything. 

It is palpable, knowable, eternal and every-present. A living and breathable Truth."

What is this?

Who am I?

Additional note: This particular short article very much follows the inclinations and philosophy of Advaita Vendanta as prescribed and shared by the great world renowned and beloved Hindu sage and jivanmukta Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. It is simply here as a form of motivation to direct self-inquiry.

You and the Universe are one and the same. The waves and the ocean are one.
