There is nothing that needs to be done about “the world.” The world is a concept. It arises in this present awareness as various combinations of sensation (read “sensing”) and thought. Look into your immediate experience. Can you find “a world” anywhere other than in this present awareness? There is no world – there areContinue reading “There Is Nothing to Be Done, and Yet…”

The following is an email exchange from a reader. To the sender of the question: I am sorry I was not able to respond to you privately via email, but the comment you left was anonymous. I hope this at least begins to address your question. (Matthew): Nice post, Vince, but let me challenge youContinue reading “What IS The Point”

The point is Love. As long as we remain caught in the fiction of separation, there is fear and defending and attacking to maintain the form – and there are countless forms: people and dogs and nations and ideals and philosophies and theories and property and mine and yours and certainty and right and wrongContinue reading “What IS the Point? Part II”

I frequently get email questions from people who read the blog. I really appreciate the questions; they are a great help in clarifying what is written. I also hear in many of the emails a great deal of frustration and efforting and pushing to “figure it out.” What I came to see, thanks to soContinue reading “Space: The Antidote”

Nothing needs to be done to simply rest as the awareness that You are. No practices are needed. No special breathing. No need to sit in the lotus posture. No more books to read. No more talks to attend. No more weekend workshops and trainings are necessary. No particular geographical location is more auspicious thanContinue reading “Nothing Needs to Be Done”

There is nothing to do that can take you any closer to where you already are. What if everything is already alright? What if you are exactly where you need to be? What if life is living you perfectly? What if it is seen that the ‘you’ is just another thought arising in…? You areContinue reading “The Good News”

If you really want to be done with the search, don’t read this as an intellectual exercise. Don’t read this as just another step on your way to “finally getting it.” Instead, right now, look directly at this very moment. Take your time and really look. Listen to sounds. See color, shape, and movement. SenseContinue reading “No Effort Needed”

This pathless path is not one of perfection. As has been written by countless others, there is nothing that you need to do to recognize who/what you really are. Nonetheless, many of us are addicted to the idea of spiritual progress or spiritual perfection. We have been taught to look at everything we do –Continue reading “Open the Door Even Wider”

Right now, in this moment, aren’t ‘you’ being? Right now, in this moment, look directly and answer this question: does it take any effort to be right now? Right. Absolutely everything else is a dead-end direction. There isn’t any more to IT than This. Rest.

Raj: I can feel or let me say, I know I am ‘aware’ only when I see things around (visible world). Without them I do not even know whether I am ‘present’ or ‘aware’ (like in deep sleep). So is it correct to say: my Awareness = the things around when I am in myContinue reading “Drop It All and Take a Walk – A Response to a Reader”
