My apologies for the ’suspension’ of posts for the past month or so but there were a couple of reasons for this. First, The Seer, was attacked by a hacker or hackers who managed to corrupt the code on the home page and insert some mischiefous code of their own redirecting visitors to other sites etc.
This has now been fixed and I hope the loopholes in the blog software that allowed this to happen have been closed. We are also trying to upgrade the software and install greater protection against these ‘invasions’.
As I explained in an email to our subscribers, this happened just as I had a bit of a crisis with my eyesight and adding new posts became extremely difficult let alone trying to undo the damage done to The Seer by the hackers.
After the crisis, a corneal transplant was redone on my right eye and at this stage, I have some good useful vision with every prospect of it improving over the next few months (in the absence of complications). Of course, the formless dimension or ‘light of consciousness’ remains as crystal clear as ever and has been the Source of deep abiding peace through all these comings and goings of sensory perception.
With regard to these medical issues, I constantly abide in Awareness — the still silent background to all my life-experience in the foreground, so to speak — this is my meditation. I also consult with and am guided by medical specialists who are wondrous expressions or manifestations of the One that I am and you are too. It is all God.
I’m now looking forward to sharing more regularly with interested friends through this blog and thank you for your patience with the recent scarcity of posts.
Anyone interested in spirituality or religion will recognize that
light, as an illuminating and life-giving energy, has been a much-used metaphor for the divine since time immemorial. Pure light has thus been equated with the light of truth, the light of God, the light of Consciousness, the light of Buddha, the Christ-light or the cosmic light, depending upon where one was born and what one was taught.
Nearly all cultures, peoples, and religious groups through the ages have talked about the phenomenon of light in the context of the spiritual or mystical experience. Spiritually inclined individuals have spoken of being called to the light, of being filled with light, of being guided by the light, and of dissolving in an ocean of light etc. Those who claim to have seen visions of holy beings typically report that they were surrounded by a radiant luminescence.
After Prince Siddhartha Gautama realized his Buddhahood, he taught that all beings are imbued with a spark of inner divine light. In describing the original Buddha-nature, Buddhists use such phrases as innate luminosity, primordial radiance, the unobscured clear natural mind, and the clear light of reality.

This Living Teaching is right here, right now. It is, in fact, as close to you as your breath. When you look deeply into yourself you may be able to see that there is, in this moment, a quality of aliveness that is animating you that is not philosophical and is not abstract. It’s there! It is coursing the blood through your veins, it is animating your breath, it is what makes it possible for you to think and speak and see and hear.
This is something that is essential and fundamental and true. It’s independent of what you think about it, what you believe about it and what you feel about it. It is here, and with Grace you dissolve into it. You recognize your true self in it. It is this living force, this animating force that has manifested into the complexity we call Life. It is this living force that has manifested into this being which you call yourself.
It is at once wondrous and simply obvious.

Only when you find the formless dimension in yourself can there be true love in any relationship. The Presence that you are, the timeless I Am, recognizes itself in another, and the other feels loved, that is to say, recognized.
To love is to recognize yourself in another. The other’s “otherness” then stands revealed as an illusion pertaining to the purely human realm, the realm of form. The longing for love that is in everyone is the longing to be recognized, not on the level of form, but on the level of Being.
If you honor only the human dimension of the other but neglect Being, the other will sense that the relationship is unfulfilled, that something absolutely vital is missing, and there will be a buildup of pain in the other and sometimes unconscious resentment toward you. “Why don’t you recognize me?” This is what the pain or resentment seems to be saying.
When another recognizes you, that recognition draws the dimension of Being more fully into this world through both of you. That is the love that redeems the world….
It has been said “God is love” but that is not absolutely correct. God is the One Life in and beyond the countless forms of life. Love implies duality: lover and beloved, subject and object. So love is the recognition of oneness in the world of duality. This is the birth of God into the world of form. Love makes the world less worldly, less dense, more transparent to the divine dimension, the light of consciousness itself.
From, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.
A Taoist story tells of an old man who accidentally fell into the river rapids leading to a high and dangerous waterfall. Onlookers feared for his life as he was swept along by the torrent.
Miraculously, he came out alive and unharmed downstream at the bottom of the falls. People asked him how he managed to survive.
“I accommodated myself” he said, “to the water, not the water to me. Without thinking, I allowed myself to be shaped by it. Plunging into the swirl, I came out with the swirl. That’s how I survived.”
