John’s sayings, aphorisms, axioms

When Pure Consciousness prevails a change in perspective has come about. One no longer imagines a person that's real who knows something. Instead there is a sense of 'happenings are witnessed but not stored'. The underlying impression of 'for me' subsides.
We liberate ourselves by banishing attachments and desires; ending the search for that which is already present.
We are peace, not this disturbed energy. Nothing is gained in the disturbance, other than suffering. Nothing is given up in the peace.
Q: How can we fully appreciate we are 'nothing' appearing as this?
A: By not allowing 'something' to fool / consume us any longer. By de-restricting our thinking (in this, the illusion) we allow ourselves expanded consciousness which  is truer being.
We can stop looking at life as it appears in front of us.  Limiting our consciousness to solid phenomena is like looking at a mirage. We should feel life as a permanency - an uninterrupted energy flow. Life & death have no meaning; they are coerced thought spirals, deserving at most observation, as a practical means, in re-awakening.
It's beneficial to allow freedom of thought such that 'anything is possible'. We can thus recognise we are not confined to the coerced upbringing of best education, aiming for best achievements, which often causes a huge self-limitation. Having no limitation of thought, it's easier to accept nothing is a true reality; a presence. In this way we break down restrictive thought spirals.

Contemplate, discriminate, affirm.

The continuous unchanging IT is what we seek but cannot find, because we seek it with the mind. Beyond the mind is full awareness. The mind can be dropped temporarily when devotion to spiritual practices brings about a change in perspective.

We can try continuously to stop imagining a me surrounded by what we consider 'mine'. We actually flow better with our subtle energy without the me.

Coming to terms with truth is acceptance. Avoiding truth is an attempt to escape, which can never work. Avoiding truth is the same as saying, "I prefer the suffering to continue so I'll continue to look in the escape tunnels, despite knowing they are all cul-de-sacs."
Happenings happen but they are not what the mind interprets them to be.
Nothing can hurt us if our mind is balanced. Only true love exists. by-passing true love causes the hurt. True love is  the ALL energy. Hence the saying ' true love is all.' That energy is all encompassing, whole, not fragmented.
How to change one's perspective? Change one's ways. Focussing on nothing brings fast results. 

Stop the story, storyteller! All suffering is caused by trying to escape INTO a story. The gluey, messy illusion can't clean up like this because there is no story, in reality. Come into truth, Truth is simple but we add stuff to form a complicated un-truth.

Is knowledge we read and remember or is it what teachers teach us - or is it truth? This question deserves endless contemplation; thus arming us with a short-cut to the cessation of suffering.

Self realisation, which brings about non-suffering, cannot be taught. However, the same result can be brought about by training the mind to unlearn everything we think we know. We call it unconditioning.

Coming to terms with truth is acceptance. Avoiding it is an attempt to escape, which will never work. Avoiding it is the same as saying, "I prefer the suffering to continue so I'll continue to look in the escape tunnels, despite knowing they are all cul-de-sacs."

If one imagines a me living an individual life on a planet, the image will not get resolved because it simply isn't true. We have to let go of all that; come out of the story, into the glory. Nothing exists other than multi-dimension-ness.

 With meditation and truth teachings, which go together like peas in a pod, we are not trying to transform ourselves into something else. We are picking up on what's already here.

Acceptance is not a leap; not a 180º change. It's more a subtle assimilation of what is. Awakening happens as we take into account more possibilities in consciousness.

To 'get anywhere' with life we have to accept we are much greater than what appears to be solid matter (and isn't!). Meditation helps us build the strength to accept.

Don't look for pure consciousness; look at it.

When you realise you are nothing, you are FREE

When be-ing with Being, there's no personhood in attendance. No-thing is perfect, pure, real; ONE

Physical existence is akin to an outline on the edge of reality.

Objects are unreal, empty, but real essence is within everything. Turning the attention to that within-ness, we solve life. Attention on stuff is absolutely pointless and propels suffering.

Doing is of the illusion; being is of the essence.

All the lower dimensions are 100% illusory. Illusions are unhelpful, pointless and bewildering. For example we imagine an individual reading these words. An individual is as unreal as the things it thinks are needed to satisfy it.

Pure consciousness isn't a safe haven for the mind. But the mind thinks it is and by doing this prevents awakening. Mind's mechanism has to be re-patterned, away from it's inbuilt habits towards no-thing."

"When we say 'I do not exist; nothing exists' it's true. A fragmented (contracted) energy is brought about by imagination, as if separate bits and pieces exist, without any foundation."

A reminder list for the kitchen wall ('fridge etc.):

  • Become your own guru
  • Accept life as the illusion it is
  • Welcome change
  • Respect being (what is) as the only reality
  • Drive away from suffering using continuous conscious effort
  • Align with no-thing, which is everything
  • The hero’s path feels unsafe but it isn’t

"Is there a short-cut to Self-Realisation? Yes; continually hold on to the concept of where you are looking from. Is it the me angle or the wholeness angle?"

Being IS. All in being. To solve life, as we perceive it, we have to leave alone what the mind thinks is everything else."

"'Forever new' is a pivotal factor in realising the Self.  There's no history attached to pure consciousness because it's timeless and, although this one and only actuality is 'always the same', it's never old."

"There is no you and I and no me and mine"  - (Preatam UK76-01)

"Meditation isn't the answer to life. Absoluteness is the only state with any meaning."

"Solid matter is an apparency; a sort of mirage caused by certain heat and light conditions. When we drop the idea of this constricted-energy illusion, the absolute remains; obvious and re-cognised."

"The space without thought is the whole universe, iin terms of awareness."

"Real consciousness is always present and ever new."

"Free the flow. Free flowing energy is Real Love."

"Life itself lives. 'Little me' is foundation-less, inadequate, pointless. Live life"

"Come away from analysis, judgement and seeking. Pure consciousness is not even a nano millimetre away, yet we invent a path to it by imagination, founded by these three adjuncts."

"The nature of energy is that it just flows. 'Mind' is a blocking of the flow, like a dam in a river, clinging to the blockage in order to preserve itself (attachment). Mind interprets facets of the energy as if they matter."

"The mind never becomes entirely fearless, Even if you're calm the mind fears extinction. But your whole self is fearless and can overpower the mind, refining the ego by adopting a more real stance."

"The mind can never know the ‘I’ but the mind can witness the ‘I’ knowing itself.

"When the ‘I’ is experienced it is the ‘I’ experiencing itself, not the mind. Train the mind away from thought - uncondition - to reveal the one true Self."

To begin with, can you accept, or do you refuse to accept, that there is no such thing as a 3-dimensional being and there is no such thing as a mind? All energy is multi-dimensional; whole; free. We create ‘this’ in our imagination and then we cling to it."

"Acceptance of truth is the key to freedom. Absolute acceptance is acceptance of the absolute." 

"Giving up clinging isn’t giving up anything except imagination."

"In reality (in Real-Self consciousness) we gain so much and we lose nothing. We arrive home; free; perfect. Actually we are already there. The path and the journey never were."

"So we don’t suffer any more after we truly accept what life is. Then surrender happens naturally. On this point, we can’t put our hands up and say, “I surrender”. Acceptance comes first, not the other way around."

"Meditation is a tool we can use to build the fortitude and determination needed for acceptance and surrender."

"While we base life on a ‘me’ we reinforce the barrier of limitation, blocking our liberation. We need to shift our perspective to a non-personal perspective. “It’s so simple”, he often said, “not this but THAT. You ARE IT. Be determined; be brave. Let go of unreality.”

"Ofttimes, speaking to ourselves is enough. Affirmation should be encouraged. Meaningful ones can have a profound effect on unfoldment. For example(s): 'Actuality is'; 'me is imagination'; 'I am love'; 'I am fearless'. Affirmation can be contemplated or repeated too, at any time including after meditation, if preferred, when the mind is near thought-less - silently or aloud. The most valuable affirmations are those expressing truth about our absoluteness."

"We are all seeking freedom. How do we achieve freedom? By unlearning everything - known as unconditioning - and accepting actuality as it IS."

"Our Real Self remains imperceptible while the mind thinks no-thing is some-thing."

"Nothing moves – nothing exists, without the Real Self. Moreover, nothing other than the Real Self exists."

"There's no purpose to life but there's an objective; pure consciousness."

"When we judge someone we usually judge wrongly. Better we face ourselves instead, to avoid wasting valuable life and adding to our karmic burden."

"Ego and intellect entrap us with false ideas, encouraging false values. Let in some light"

"Aligning oneself with the flow of love is all that matters"

"Take life peace by peace."
