As we delve into the essence of “Attention”, we find ourselves exploring a realm where the boundaries between self and others blur, revealing a profound truth about human connection and consciousness. The concept of attention, as we contemplate it, emerges not merely as a psychological need but as a doorway to understanding the fundamental interconnectedness of all beings. This inquiry leads us to appreciate that in every moment of seeking or giving attention, we are engaging with something deeper than mere social interaction; we are touching the very fabric of existence. We come to see attention as a subconscious need inherent in all human beings—a pointer to the fundamental connection that binds us together. Reflecting on this, we recognize that the seeker is also the sought; there is no true separation between us and what we perceive. This insight aligns with nondual philosophies where the seer and the seen are understood to be one and the same. In this view, the external world is not separate from the internal world but a reflection, an extension of it.

The letter is a letter to all the political candidates in the upcoming election in Ireland it urges all public officials to support referendums on two significant issues: changes to Ireland's freedom of expression laws and a potential transfer of sovereignty to the World Health Organization (WHO). The author expresses concerns that the proposed "Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences Bill" in Ireland could severely restrict freedom of speech by imposing broad and vague definitions of hate speech, potentially stifling legitimate public discourse and leading to arbitrary enforcement. Additionally, the writer highlights worries about the WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty, arguing it could limit Ireland's control over its public health policies. The letter calls for direct public involvement through referendums to address these issues, emphasizing the importance of preserving democratic values and national sovereignty.

In today's world, where dubious global organizations like the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, the United Nations, NATO, and the European Union exert significant power, humanity's spiritual core and the autonomy of nations are at risk. These entities, along with global challenges such as climate change, attacks on traditional family values, diverse religious beliefs, not to mention the impacts by the recent COVID pandemic, pose threats to our individual freedoms and spiritual identities. This personal exploration emphasizes the urgent need to safeguard our spiritual essence and sovereign rights against these formidable global influences.

Overcoming the deeply ingrained belief in the ego, also known as the sense of self, is essential. This process involves introspection and self-investigation to unravel the illusion of the ego. By recognising the ego as a construct of the mind and as not one's true essence, one can break free from its grip and realise the truth of "Universal Consciousness". Universal because there is only one consciousness, we all share. Note: The images used in this essay were created using Leonardo AI

This article explores how language, and our senses work together to determine what is real and what is not. It examines that while we use our senses to confront our persona, we fail miserably as they cannot confirm reality. Instead, our sense of an independent self is illusory and not actual. Using the example of visualizing a glass of milk, the article delves into the intricacies of how our minds create mental images and how language can instantly alter those images.

Nonduality philosophy asserts that everything comes from the same universal energy. This perspective encourages us to envision life beyond physical limits, potentially taking forms we cannot grasp. By exploring life beyond our planet from this standpoint, we can expand our understanding and consider possibilities that surpass traditional paradigms. Looking at the possibility of extraterrestrial life through the lens of Nonduality brings a significant shift in perspective. It nurtures a sense of universal kinship and positions humanity as part of a more prominent cosmic family. This recognition dismisses the idea of cosmic isolation, cultivating a sense of humility and interconnectedness that transcends terrestrial boundaries.

I generally eschew established news outlets due to their evident bias and propaganda agendas, opting for independent platforms like Rumble. Traditional media presents a one-sided narrative, leaving me sceptical of the completeness of their reporting. I refrain from television and radio and minimize my use of YouTube, and I've never used TikTok, questioning the uproar over the latter's ownership. The push for TikTok's sale to American companies highlights the hypocrisy prevalent in mainstream media, which profit from user data while claiming moral high ground.

What if our reality, our world, our very existence, is nothing but a fleeting dream in the mind of a higher being? It's a tantalizing notion, isn't it? We are but characters in a grand cosmic dream, waltzing through existence as mere figments of a divine imagination. Picture this: you're walking down a bustling street, surrounded by faces, sounds, and the vibrant tapestry of life. Yet, what if I told you that every step you take, every person you meet, is merely a stroke of the dreamer's brush? This notion rattles the very foundations of our perception, making us question the fabric of reality itself. Note: the images used in this posting were created using Leonardo Ai

As we explore the concept of the Divine presence within humanity, we can draw upon several quotes from scripture that support this idea. These quotes suggest that the "Source" of all manifestation is present within all human bodies, and that this divine “presence” is readily available to everyone.

One of the critical tenets of nonduality is the idea of the Witness. The Witness is the part of us that observes our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It is the part of us that remains constant throughout our lives, even as our thoughts and experiences change. The Witness is often described as pure awareness or consciousness and is the Source of all but it's still just a pointer, pointing to the ultimate source of all manifestation.You are "That" Note: The images used in this presentation were created using Leonardo Ai These images aim to visually capture the key themes and concepts discussed in the essay.

In the quest to understand the fundamental nature of reality, two philosophical perspectives stand out for their profound insights into the heart of consciousness and existence: analytic idealism and non-duality. While seemingly distinct, both views share common ground in their exploration of consciousness as the underlying fabric of reality. In this essay, we delve into the complementary aspects of these philosophies, drawing upon the works of Bernardo Kastrup in analytic idealism and the timeless wisdom of non-dualistic thought. Note. This is a follow up on the post "Exploring the “Oneness of Consciousness": The images used in this presentation were created using Leonardo Ai

For the past two years, I've delved into the philosophy of non-duality. Given my lifelong interest in science and physics, I've constantly sought a means to articulate the insights gained from my understanding of non-duality in a scientific context, aiming to shed the religious connotations and communicate the awakening to the concept of no-self more practically. Recently, I encountered Dr. Bernardo Kastrup's course on analytic idealism, where I quickly noticed parallels with non-duality, especially concerning the illusion of the Ego and the Oneness of Consciousness. Dr. Bernardo Kastrup is a contemporary philosopher known for his work in analytic idealism, a philosophical perspective that posits reality as fundamentally mental or consciousness based. While Kastrup's ideas share some similarities with non-dualistic philosophies, which propose a fundamental unity underlying all existence, they also offer distinct insights into the nature of consciousness and reality. Here I would like to highlight ten critical points from Kastrup's analytic idealism that complement the philosophy of non-duality: Note: The images used in this presentation were created using Leonardo Ai

In my exploration of sacred teachings across diverse traditions, I've encountered a resounding call to surrender to a higher power. From the profound words of Jesus Christ to the wisdom embedded in Eastern philosophies, the essence of surrender permeates through each passage. Quotes such as "Unless you are born again, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven," and "It is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle," reverberate deeply within me, guiding my path toward surrender. Similarly, the declaration, "The kingdom of heaven is within," resonates profoundly, illuminating the core of true surrender. Note: The images used in this essay were created using Leonardo Ai

I woke up to the devastating news that over 100 innocent civilians were brutally murdered yesterday in Gaza. They were standing by an aid truck in Rafael, waiting to receive the aid that was supposed to sustain them for the week. The Israeli army, IDF, opened fire and indiscriminately killed 100 people. It is heart-wrenching to see the loss of innocent lives, and it's even more concerning that the world stays quiet! Note: The images used in this post were created using Leonardo Ai

The sun, with its gentle caress, became more than a celestial body; it became a conduit to profound insights.

The inquiry into the essence of thinking begins with the recognition that thinking is an active process intricately woven with language threads. It manipulates information to derive meaning, solve problems, and birth new ideas. However, thought should not be merely conceived of as a static entity but rather a dynamic engagement with the world around us. Note: The images used in this post were created using Leonardo AI

In a momentary stroll down memory lane, I wonder: Is the world better now than when I was a kid, some sixty years back? Things sure have changed a lot, especially with all these fancy gadgets. Back in the early '60s, we'd read about men on the moon, and before you knew it, Neil Armstrong was taking a stroll up there. Note: Images used in this post were created using Leonardo Ai

As an advocate for freedom of speech, I am concerned about the proposed Bill on Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences. The Constitution of Ireland and the European Convention on Human Rights guarantee the right to freedom of expression, which includes the right to express opinions without interference from the government. While there are limitations to this right, such as preventing the publication of blasphemous or indecent material, the proposed Bill goes beyond these limitations and could infringe on the fundamental right to free speech.
