Do you have very firm, concrete ideas about yourself and life? Have you considered the possibility that any idea you hold to is warping  your perception, causing you to see only that idea?  Can you imagine what it would be like to stop identifying with your thoughts?  Be willing to entertain the possibility.  Spend time in stillness and notice the difference between your idea of reality and actual reality. -IS

THREE STEPS IN SPIRITUALITY

1) The first step consists in realizing we are identified with our thoughts. 2) The second step consists in experiencing the fact we ARE not our thoughts but BEING in us, which is Reality's INFINITE ISness. 3) The third step consists in retrieving BEING in us permanently. Among these three steps, the first one is the most difficult to accomplish and the most decisive one.

THE RETURN TO WHAT IS, IS NOT A PHILOSOPHY.

The only spot where you actually ARE Reality on the virtual stream of time, is the tip of the always renewed Present Instant. The past was Reality when it was the Present Instant and the future will be Reality when it will be the Present Instant. There is only one unique Present Instant in constant transformation. Now, the period of transformation of this always renewed Present Instant is so short that thoughts do not have the necessary time to be generated and they stop right away unveiling BEING in you. BEING is a limitfree consciousness which contains and pervades the whole universe. Indeed, consciousness cannot be enclosed into a form it rather transcends all the forms and is context to them. This pure consciousness - not enclosed in any thought - is called the Kingdom of God by Jesus, it is called Sunyata by the Buddha, it is called the Atman by Lord Krishna, it is called the Tao by Lao Tzu, it is called Wakan Tanka by the Sioux Lakotas, and I personally call it BEING in us.

THE ORIGINAL POLLUTION.

The first pollution occurs when the fetus, the newborn baby and the young child are impacted with pains too big to be consciously met. These pains remain in us as as unresolved memories that block our sensorial window, obstructing our access to BEING which is Reality's ISness in us. This is how we identify with our thoughts and are psychologically disconnected from Reality. Since then on we start misbehaving with Reality around us. Gradually our inner pollution spills over and spreads onto the world.
