Quantum Pixels
Physical reality is a highly-immersive projection from a higher-dimensional “implicate” order of reality, which emerges through a holistic network of quantum-sized toroidal pixels, all spinning and pulsating to quantum time. So our so-called “reality” is actually more virtual reality than actual reality!
The Two Sides of Reality
The Planck length and Planck time are literally the end of our space-time reality, because they don’t exist beyond these physical limits. So what does exist beyond these ultra-small scales of reality? An intangible “implicate order” of reality that is energetic and informational, just like computer code.
Dual Torus Galactic Geometry
There is a general consensus in physics that the rotation of galaxies can only be explained by the presence of highly elusive “dark matter”. This article proposes that galactic rotation is dynamically driven by the geometry of space-time which, in the case of most galaxies, is shaped like a dual-torus.
The Toroidal Universe
Most scientists believe that space is ‘flat’, unless it is being ‘curved’ by the presence of matter (which results in gravity). This article proposes that the universe only appears to be expanding because space-time dynamically flows with the geometry of a torus.
How To Stop Taking Things Personally
Emotions are the most polarised aspect of our being; i.e. they carry the most charge. So the more emotion we experience the more difficult it is to remain objective. The more emotion that accompanies an experience the more we identify with it, and the more we take it personally.
The Truth About Wanting
Wanting is a big cause of suffering. When we tell ourselves “I’ll be happy when I get what I want”, we are telling ourselves that we can’t be happy or contented until we get what we want. But even if we get what we want, it won’t satisfy us for long, and we’ll soon want something else.
Radical Acceptance
Radical acceptance means learning to accept what you cannot change, and change what you cannot accept. It involves fully experiencing ‘what is’ without any resistance, judgement or agenda. When we are fully experiencing “what is” without any resistance, we are fully present.
False Beliefs
We all have a primary belief that shapes our fundamental approach to life, and a collection of core beliefs that influence our different strategies for life. Discovering these false beliefs is the key to liberating ourselves from the ego’s narcissistic, controlling and fear-based strategies.
Holistic Wellbeing
Holistic Wellbeing is about bringing every aspect of your “being” back into equilibrium, and restoring balance to every area of your life – physical, energetic, social, emotional, creative expression, mental and spiritual.
When balance is acheived, you naturally experience greater flow, vitality, clarity and inner peace.
The False Self (who I am not)
Unless we are enlightened or self-realised, we we have lost touch with “who we truly are”, and we live from a mentally-created false self or ego-self. Our belief that we are our ego-self makes us feel separate and insecure – cut off from the unity and oneness.
Who Am I? What Am I?
A Human Being is comprised of a Self, a Soul and a Personality. Our Self (divine spark) is the transpersonal element of our being; our mind, heart and body are the personal elements; and our soul is the field of experiential awareness and unique blend of “essential qualities” that integrates them all.
What Blocks Happiness
Authentic happiness is blocked by a (false) belief that life is not how it should be; i.e. how we want it to be. This unfulfilled false belief gives rise to negative emotions, which make us feel uncomfortable. The ego equates the discomfort with unhappiness, which it tries to alleviate by seeking happiness elsewhere.
The Key to Happiness
We are all looking for happiness in different places, but the places all have one thing in common – they are outside of ourselves. And that’s the issue, because when we look outside of ourselves, our level of happiness goes up and down like a roller-coaster in response to external events.
The Inner Journey
The Inner Journey requires us to discover “who we are not” (and disidentify from that) before we can truly discover “who we are”. We must allow our consciousness to unfold naturally through living consciously (being), and by proactively working with that natural process (becoming).
Conscious Awareness
Conscious awareness is witnessing or observing the mind, heart and body without getting caught up in thoughts, emotions or sensations. It gives us the power to notice our thoughts, emotions and bodies without identifying with them or defining ourselves by them.
Conscious Living (accessing the power of now)
Conscious living is about waking up from the trance of our ego structures and enabling our Self to become the conscious director of our life. Our subconscious beliefs, reactive emotions and conditioned behaviours will continue to run our lives until we make them conscious.
Feel It To Heal It
If we don’t consciously and fully experience our physical, emotional and mental responses to life, as they occur in the present moment, our fear or resistance causes them to become stuck and problematic. Feel It to Heal It is a simple somatic healing technique that can free us from these issues.
Psychological Healing
The soul’s “presence” is key to the psychological healing process because the soul’s intimate contact with the separate “part” is what allows this mis-identified piece of our consciousness to heal and re-integrate back into the wholeness of our being.
What is Self Inquiry?
Self-inquiry, like Focusing, begins with the body (or soul) as the reference point, but it goes deeper – beyond the psychological and into the spiritual. Every blockage, structure or “part” is actually a doorway to our essential nature and spiritual realms of consciousness.
What is Focusing?
Focusing can help us to become clearer about what we feel or what we want, to develop new insights and to facilitate change. But it is primarily used for understanding ourself better, moving past old emotional pain, accessing inner wisdom and realising our full potential.
L: After Enlightenment
Life after enlightenment is completely different to, yet exactly the same as, life before enlightenment. The still, silent backgroud awareness becomes the foreground, and the objects of experience fade into the background.
K: Self Realisation & Nonduality
Most people are suffering from mistaken identity. The self-we-think-we-are was created by our mind, so it cannot awaken because it’s not ontologically real. We have to awaken from that false-self in order to awaken and realise our true-Self.
J: How To Meditate
This article covers meditation posture, difficulties and distractions, the two main types of meditation, and it finishes by guiding you through a simple meditation practice. It’s not difficult – in fact it’s the simplest thing to sit in pure awareness.
I: An Introduction to Meditation
Meditation is often used for stress relief and relaxation – to relieve the symptoms of an ego-driven life, but it was originally intended to be a way of dis-identifying with the ego-self and developing a deeper connection with our true-Self.
