The Seer

“Enlightenment is the realization, the lived experience, that we are made of pure consciousness; that pure consciousness is our fundamental nature and our ultimate reality; and that everything else in the universe is also made of pure consciousness, so that our own being is fundamentally unified with all of nature. As one fourth-century Chinese sage put it, “Everything in the universe is one and the same root as my own self.”

In enlightenment, we experience life from the vantage point of that root. We experience our own self as unbroken consciousness, pervading our body and our environment. This means that there is a continuity between our inner and outer perception. We have a sense of vast space, as if all our perceptions were one single tapestry of reflections in a single mirror.

We feel that we are made of clear, empty space, finer than air, unbounded and motionless. Within this vast space moves the changing progression of our thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. I call this unbroken, pervasive dimension fundamental consciousness.

Before we realize fundamental consciousness, we identify ourselves as our sensations, feelings, perceptions, ideas, memories. But when we realize fundamental consciousness, we recognize that these discrete, transitory experiences come and go within the fundamental ground that is our true identity.”

1st. If you eat something and nobody sees you eat it, it has no kilojoules.

2nd. If you drink a diet soda with a chocolate bar, the kilojoules in the chocolate bar are canceled out by the diet soda.

3rd. When you eat with someone else, kilojoules don’t count if you don’t eat more than they do.

4th. Foods used for medicinal purposes NEVER count. These include hot chocolate, brandy, toast and cheesecake.

5th. If you fatten up everyone around you, you look thinner.

6th. Movie related foods – buttered popcorn and chocolate covered nuts, do not have additional kilojoules because they are part of the whole entertainment package and not part of one’s personal fuel.

7th. Pieces of chocolate biscuits have no kilojoules. When the biscuits are broken, there is leakage of kilojoules.

8th. Things licked off knives and spoons have no kilojoules; for instance, when you are preparing something such as ice-cream on a spoon when making a sundae.

9th. Foods that have the same colour have the same number of kilojoules; for example, spinach and pistachio ice-cream, mushrooms and white chocolate.

NOTE: Chocolate is a universal colour and may be substituted for any other food colour.
