E131: Right Understanding — The Journey Back to the Self

E130: Ceasing to Contract Consciousness

E127: Unconditional Well-Being — The Practice of Non-Closing

E126: Work at the Root—Why the Mind Is Restless

E125: The Simplicity of True Spirituality—Learning to Handle Life

Life is extraordinarily simple: we are conscious beings living on a tiny planet spinning through vast empty space for a very short period of time. We did not create our bodies nor the rest of nature that surrounds us, yet we try to own and manipulate them,...

E124: Transcending the Ripples on the Lake of Mind

Mind is a very high vibration energy field that receives impressions from the outside world and renders them as inner experiences. In the state of pure mind, thoughts and emotions arise as impressions that pass right through. But when consciousness resists...

E123: How Clinging Creates Ego and Suffering

Human beings walk around with a fishbowl over their head full of thoughts about themselves. Instead of naturally processing outside experiences as they come in, we trap the ones we can’t handle inside this bowl. These stored impressions distort our percept...

E122: Beyond Goal Orientation

The spiritual journey is not about chasing external goals but about realizing that these pursuits only mask a deeper truth—we are not okay inside and driven by deep-seated fears and needs. Spirituality begins when we recognize that this comes from storing ...

E119: Escaping the Pull of Ego: A Call to Liberation

The root of all human suffering is ego—defined as our personal preferences, desires, and resistance to reality. Consciousness—our true self—is inherently divine, ever-present, and unchanging. It gets pulled down into lower vibrations by mental and emotiona...

E118: You Are Not Your Mind: The Journey Back to Self

The spiritual journey explores the fundamental question of identity—not who you think you are, but who you truly are: consciousness itself. Ego, the false concept of self, is created when the mind clings to certain events and forms rigid preferences, desir...

E117: The Real Work: Letting Go from Within

True spirituality isn’t about mystical experiences or lofty ideals—it’s about honestly facing and working with the reality of your inner world. The journey begins by realizing you’ve been reacting, resisting, and clinging to disturbing experiences, and the...

E116: Doing the Best You Can: The Path to Liberation

Doing the best you can every moment with what’s in front of you is the entire path to liberation. Outcomes don’t define you; the inner growth you earn by showing up wholeheartedly does. Life is your teacher; just do your very best and what comes back are y...

E115: Spiritual Evolution: From Control to Equanimity

Spirituality is inner evolution—adaptability to reality instead of struggling with the outside world because you can’t handle it. Begin by relaxing and releasing inner resistance the moment it comes up, rather than storing life’s events as past negative im...

E114: The Third Way: Transmuting Energy Instead of Suppressing or Expressing
