True freedom is allowing all phenomena to be exactly as they are. To let everything be just as it is. Coming and going, arising and passing away.

When we look at the human tradition, we want to see spirituality as an indivisible whole and find an inherent and universal mysticism as the underlying movement of all the great religious leaders—whatever path they followed, whatever path they carved, whichever direction they led. And we want to appreciate the perennial, self-propagating wisdom that continues to sprout through pastures, forests, deserts, mountains, and cities all over the globe.

No belief is true, for truth is not a belief. This is why I say that no belief is true, because truth is what is left when all your beliefs are through.

How can you “study” without “seeking”? How can you want to learn something, while also embracing the Great Mystery?

To know something is a great arrogance. To be in a relationship and say, “I know this person,” is a profound limitation. Where is the space for that person to grow? Where is their freedom to change? Everything changes. Everyone changes. To truly love someone is to be awed by their mystery and open to their evolution. Thinking you know someone is a prison.

When we think we know something, we reduce it to a little box—a theory, an idea that makes us feel comfortable. We forsake the mystery for a false sense of security. However, when we don’t know, we remove the box, the walls, and the limitations. It becomes illimitable, free from concepts and free from our tendency toward complacency—our laziness that tries to place the numinous in a knowable box.

Spiritual bypassing is like painting over rust: it may look fine on the surface, but the corrosion continues underneath. True spirituality isn't an escape route from life's challenges or a licence to neglect responsibilities. It's a deep engagement with reality, in all its messiness.

True awakening reveals that there is no "one" to awaken; rather, reality is already wide awake to itself. There is simply this plain, ordinary, and yet utterly astonishing spontaneous arising—an expression of the infinite. This is the awareness of oneness, which, if clearly seen, is the oneness of awareness itself. It is not you who is aware; oneness is aware. It is not an individual possession but an intrinsic quality of existence itself.

In the end, practising non-attachment connects us to something greater than ourselves. It is freedom from the chains that we hold. It sounds terrifying because we only know what it is we hold on to. We only know the known. When we let go, however, we embrace the great unknown. 

To find the anchor in impermanence is to find the anchor of impermanence. It is to allow it completely. It is to open the palm of the hand and embrace all the wider without hesitation without grasping, without remorse, the fleeting winds of the world and stop and call them beautiful.

Engage in the observation of sensations in the body without elaboration, without preference, without resistance or identification. Let them come and go with presence.

Rest in this presence because when you rest, you see that this presence has always rested in you. Rest as who you are—nothing more and nothing less. Resting as who you are is not trivial. It's a simple process, and it's just to be.

Spirituality is about taking off the mask. So, we must ask, ‘Who am I without the mask?’... What is aware of the name is nameless. What is aware of the body is formless. What is aware of the thoughts is not a thought. It is this natural, pristine, and naked awareness that is free from all bondage.

When all fades away, what is left is the ground of being. Its ground is groundless. Its language is wordless silence. And its movement is stillness.

If you want to discover “your truth”, you must first start by discovering the Truth of yourself.
