The Book of Undoing

The idea is to always bring ourselves to a present understanding. Present understanding is all that matters.

For all I know, I'm writing myself out of a job! If so, so be it; I'll be shown another function. I'm not married to this one. Also, I've discovered that when I push myself to the limits of what I know, and teach that without fear of giving up the goose that laid the golden egg, then what I know suddenly expands. I wish you well. I really, really d

I presume that clients don't need to wake up, because they are always already awake. Awakeness is not something you experience, it's what you are.

And in order to have this present as it is, everything that ever happened must have happened precisely as it did. Once again, there's simply no alternative. Reality is actually much simpler tha

"What you've been looking with is what you've been for." It's a great pointer.

You have always been awake, always will be, cannot fail to be awake. Awakeness is not a trait of yours, it's what you actually are. Back to the attention exercise. What do you see when you turn back and look for yourself? What do you find? Can you actually find yourself? Check. Really look.
