Send us a text It dawns on you that you are sitting in the cinema, just witnessing, no idea what is coming next zero. At some point there becomes an absolute disinterest in mind, that you will get up and walk out of the cinema into light. What we have been taking to be our life is only what has been projected onto the screen. What gets onto the screen is your internal world that is just happening. You are not the producer, you are an actor, you are not the director, just passively observing thou...

Send us a text This is about coming to see the False. The self enquiry is about Who Am I, What Am I, Where Am I. We assume there is a personal person here. Its an assumption because when we challenge it, it falls to pieces. If you are the thinker, you should be able to stop thinking! All we need to see is the process of this seeming duality. In the seeing of it, it collapses. Its profound, just the way it is. Excerpt from Virtual Event with Terrence Stephens. For more information www.terrenceste...

Send us a text The Idea of a me being here, being a thinker, having free will, being a lonely separated self, collapses. When it fully dawns on you that there is no personal me here, then there is no one else out there either. The lights are definitely on but there is no one home. There is aliveness, there is being here. Just stop taking that to be mine, because its not. What is it that is dividing everything? Why be interested in that world that gets created by thoughts when you have got this n...

Send us a text “I feel anxious, depressed, agitated.”. Not True. The narrator or mind can’t actually experience anything so whatever it is saying is false, it's just a story, it's made up. It literally can't experience anything. With the absence of all the ME thoughts, it's peaceful. Everything is brand new and fresh, all the time. Life no longer goes through the filter of the mind. It is no longer making up a story about stuff. The more conscious you become of what you are not, the more conscio...

Why, its not alive, its not conscious, its not being. It all arises as thoughts. A thought will say, I am the thinker, if that is so, then stop it!

Send us a text If it is not conscious, what is it basing your whole back story on. For experiencing to occur, you have to be conscious. Is a story, an actual experience? The only way the dualistic process can work is for the mind to take the story about the experience, to be the experience. The me is a story too. The true self is here or the beingness, the consciousness, the awareness, it can’t be anywhere else. We are not interested in a story, what has a story got to do with this here. We need...

Send us a text In the complete absence of mind, duality ceases. Without mind, would the seeing stop, the tasting, the touching, the smelling? Would consciousness disappear, would awareness disappear, would beingness stop, if mind stopped? It helps if you can come to see that you are not the seeker. You can be aware of the seeking and how that is manifesting, because it is just a thought that arises and says I am confused or I want to find this thing called non duality.

Send us a text The Me Arises as Thoughts. On an intellectual level, we can see the me arises as thoughts. What we are looking for is this sense of being, but in the absence of the me-ing. The me can’t experience being, it cant experience seeing, hearing, tasting, touching smelling. Its not conscious, its not aware. Then mind steps in and claims to be aware, conscious, seeing, hearing etc. We miss what is actually happening, until we dont. The mind is the most amazing, the most incredible instrum...

Dive into the beingness until duality disappears and the mind will shut down, and you will be resting in your true nature. As soon as the attention shifts to “what’s this?” the mind just goes. That that fuels mind is attention. In the absence of attention its like it doesn't exist. It shifts from only being aware of the content of the mind to ”what’s this” I...

There is no person there that is having the thoughts or being affected by those thoughts. The thoughts are just happening. Zero. What is it that believes the me story is the story itself.

Send us a text Can you observe a personal me? You can't describe or see what you actually are, your true nature, because you are it. To see it you would have to be able to separate yourself out from your true nature to be able to look at your true nature. That, that we are looking for, is already looking.

Seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling, they do not comment on anything. They are not dual. What makes anything dualistic, is the moment the mind steps in. Duality is a mind construct or concept only. There is no one doing anything, there is nothing to work out, there is nothing to gain. In the immediacy of right here, all is well.

Send us a text The reason as human beings that we hang on to the concept or idea of a God is only because we believe we are separate. If God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscience where do you exist? Outside of that? As young children, we develop a seeming sense of a separate self which too is a concept.
