There is never enough
As we sit in meditation we begin to see all the stories the mind conjures up to distract usfrom being present with life as it is.
The ego mind hatesbeing with life as it is, because the egoisthe resistance to how life is in this present moment. If there is no struggle then this allows us to see the ego for what it is - a belief in a separate self that seems to exist somewhere inside the body and needs to keep churning out stories about how life should be, used to be and could be. |

 EMPTY SPACE IS FULL OF HAPPINESS. If we ever think of space at all we tend to dismiss it as irrelevant - we are more interested in the objects in space. However, without space these objects would not exist. When I say objects I am talking about everything. Space contains, the Sun, Earth and cars. It contains the internet, cheese sandwiches and love. It also contains ideas, wind, war, peace and your own body. Now space doesn't object to any of these events not even to war and hatred, it just allows them to come and to go. |

 Noticing space
When I walk into a room what I notice are objects. Tables, chairs, people,
walls. What I don't notice is the space. It's the same with my mind. What I
notice are objects: thoughts, images memories etc. I depend on these to tell me
who and how I am. But what I can do is notice the space which contains the
objects. The space is free of all distress. This is awareness practice and how
I free myself from agitation and fear. |

The Tyranny of Time
What is this thing called time? We seem to know it so well, we organise our lives around it and it seems so real. But time isn’t a thing it does not exist as an entity in its own right. It is simply an idea in our head. It is a useful idea but only that. It is a concept we all share so we can live together in an organised and efficient way. If we didn’t have the concept of time they would be complete chaos – the trains would be late and that wouldn’t do!
Our relationship to the concept of time is what is important. |
