What was there when you were born into this world?
What was there when you first tasted your mother's milk?
What was there when you created your first memory?
What was there when you made your first decision?
What was there when you formed your first images of yourself?
What was there when you first thought to be like your hero?
What was there when you shaped your thoughts to the standards of the world?
What was there throughout your emotional journey?
What was there throughout your search for happiness?
What was there when you realised this world will only pass?
What was there when you search for truth?
What was there when you realised that it was always there since the beginning?
What has remained unchanged since the beginning? 
What has remained unchanged and present at all times from the very beginning?
Only you can figure that out yourself?

You can start with the most important question you will ever ask. 

Who Am I?

The root of our problems

Any thought that separates
you from the other,
your gender from the other,
your family from the other,
your community from the other,
your tribe from the other,
your island from the other,
your race from the other,
your country from the other,
your belief from the other,
your church from the other,
your status from the other,
is the root of our problems.

You are all I need

So lost that I am
 I found myself in you
 When darkness invade I'll run for that light in you
 When feeling down and weary
 I will look and gain the strength from you
Jesus you are all that I need
You've touched my heart so real
Knowing you is such a gain
Because your love keeps coming stronger each day
When I call on your name
I'm sure you will answer
When I need to decide your Wisdom is applied
When I need to be right
You showed me your way
When my hope is in you I will keep looking onwards
When my trust is in you nothing will move me

The one that is all





two sides to the way I think
one says I am this, 
the other that says I am that
one that says I am something, 
the other that says I am nothing
one that says I am many different things, 
the other that says I am everything combined
one that comes and goes, 
the one that stays all the time
one that is lost in thought, 
the one found in consciousness
one that is transient, 
the one that is eternal
one that is lost in time, 
the one found in timelessness
 And the one that is all

Presence





Something that is felt
 Awareness of something felt
 Don't be lost in thought
 Don't be lost in concepts
 It is here and now
 Know that I am God
 Be still
 Be truly still
 Let all illusions drift away
 Be truly awake
 The true absence of time
 the absence of space
 There you are
 In timelessness
 In nothingness
 One with life
 One with love
 One with God

That precious Thing.





Life, the most precious 'thing'
 'thing' because no words ever fully represent it.
 I experience life through my sensations
my perceptions.
Call it whatever you like
this 'thing'
Call it Experience.
 Life, one big 'experience'
An 'experience' only because
I am aware of it
 An experience I am aware of
A knowing of an experience
 a knowing of aliveness
 a knowing of being
Life is that which
knows all sensations,  
knows all thinking,  
knows all feelings,  
knows all concepts,  
knows all perceptions,
knows all experiences
A mysterious ''thing''  
Underlying,
Unseen
Beyond all forms
Yet contains everything  
Life is that
 Unbothered by time
Unbothered by space
formless and unchanging
but contain all forms
I am life
I am
A knowing
 of 'I am'
'I am' that knows
'I am' experiencing itself as I am
A knowing experiencing itself as knowing
 Life experiencing itself as life
 'I am' life
 That precious,
mysterious 'thing'
