This page is dedicated to helping people recognise the truth of their being.

Self realisation is recognising the true nature of your experience and seeing it as it actually is.

Which involves seeing that the personal mode of experience, is just a subsystem based in the mental and physical modes of experience, which seem to obscure our fundamental field of presence.

I enjoy pointing people back to the fundamental truth of their being so they can recognise it for themselves.

This then offers them a sense of freedom and empowerment.

I enjoy creating the free content here and I also provide 1-1 help via Zoom which proves to be valuable in shortening one’s search for truth.

There is a charge for this as it does involve an energy exchange, in terms of time and presence.

The primary thought ‘I Am’ is the closest thought, pointing you to the truth of your being, but it’s still a thought, not what you actually are.

To recognise what you actually are, you go to the experience itself, that the words, ‘I Am’ are pointing you home to.

Wild wisdom is about tapping into an inherent intelligence that isn't bound by complex thinking.

It's the kind of intelligence that exists beyond words and concepts. Profoundly moving and intuitive.

This unbound wisdom is already in play and is a natural part of our being. It's about recognising and valuing this mode of intelligence, allowing reality to reveal itself directly in non conceptual awareness.

This kind of wisdom is more about noticing and recognising what’s actually here. Rather than trying to figure things out.

It's an engagement with the present moment and the actuality of experience, allowing it to reveal itself to us (itself).

The underlying joy of simply being.
Q. Thank you for the video. Are you always in a blissful state or do you also experience other emotions such as anger, frustration or sadness?

A. I would say bliss is always available, it's our natural state. It just seems to be obscured by mental activity based in resistance to what's happening.

Bliss feels like a quiet love that can blossom at times into pure joy and then settle back down in underlying contentment. It's not conditional, so it's not dependent on outside circumstances. It's a baseline of undulating joy.

There might be a momentary contraction appear, but it very quickly dissipates, leaving no residual after effects. I haven't noticed any anger or sadness. I have twice noticed a flat feeling and because it was quite different, I could see the mind wanted to create a story around it but I didn't go there and it the experience dissipated by itself.

I haven't lost a loved one since the recognition of the truth of simply being. So I can't speak how that would be, but my life circumstances have been up and down like everyone', but it's very different now I don't suffer them, I can see what we fundamentally are is totally free from the surface potential to suffer. Thanks for the question I enjoyed feeling into that. 🙏🏼💗

The unconditioned space of being that you are.

This vast spaciousness of unconditioned awareness, is untouched by anything that appears within it.

It's an infinite field of potential, completely full of everything, yet never divided by anything. It remains, untouched, unbound and totally free.

Despite all of the invitations to experience, the thoughts and sensations. What you fundamentally are, never left home, never went anywhere.

Rest your attention here for a while and see that you are the source of everything, the whole dance is born and dies within what you are.

It’s all you have ever been.

The experience of "you" is not what it seems. There isn’t a separate, personal you living your life, rather, you are life itself, experiencing itself through various forms and perspectives. 

The sense of a personal identity, separate and distinct, is a construct arising from thoughts of separation rooted in fear and conditioning. 

The "I" is universal, not personal. It’s the one self, the one reality, manifesting as everything and everyone. 

What life fundamentally is never changes, never suffers, in absolute reality. 

Life creates the experience of suffering for itself, but in absolute reality there are no individuals suffering. Life is appearing to shape itself in that way. 

So we don’t deny suffering, but who is suffering? Life will shout ‘me’ but in absolute reality there is no individual me. It’s an experience life is having. 

All the becoming better and seeing through the false self is life’s journey. Not an individual persons journey. 

Life wakes up to itself, it’s not the separate person waking up. 
Although that is the experience life creates for itself.

The journey home, the awakening, is for no one. It’s seen that who we thought we were didn’t exist, it was born out of a mistaken identity. 

Where are you viewing life from, the individual who needs to wake up or life recognising that it never became an individual experiencer.
