This book has two aims, the first as a stand-alone guide to, and practices for, Awakening. Once this has taken place then anxiety and unnecessary mental suffering disappear, for these are caused by misidentifying oneself as a separate object in a world of separate objects. This causes us to see each other, and the world, through a murky filter of self-interest, self-concern, self-promotion etc. On Awakening one discovers that there truly is no separate self and so this filter is removed allowing us to see the world 'as it is' with no self-concern for the future or past. The second aim is to...

This book is a collection of poems each based on a chapter of my book The Happiness That Needs Nothing - Pointers to That Which is Always Here. These books are pointers to awakening from the dream of being a separate object in a universe of such, and the joy that this produces. Here are some comments by readers of some of my poems: I love the clarity of your rhyming poems. The Dharma teaching is so direct and uncluttered. Wonderful. -- Colin Yardley Very well put Colin, fun, playful and sincere, I get it at the deepest level and my heart sings once more. -- Suzanne That poem is really...

A guide to, and practices for, Awakening composed of articles, replies to questions and discussions since the publication of 'Freedom From Anxiety and Needless Suffering'.

When one is awake then anxiety and unnecessary mental suffering disappear, for these are caused by this misidentification which...

The aim of this book is to act as a stand-alone guide to, and practices for, realizing and loving the Source (Pure Consciousness)and is composed of new articles and replies to questions since the publication of 'The Simplicity of Awakening'.

A collection of true tales relating to our move to Tomewin, from Sydney, and our many encounters with the wonderful(and less wonderful) wildlife in this region. They all occurred here, at home, and include interactions with our cats and goats plus snakes, goannas (giant monitor lizards), a peacock, the amazing birdlife, possums, wallabies, kangaroos, insects(of many types), dogs and leeches.

This is a book of poems based on articles from Freedom From Anxiety and Needless Suffering plus an unpublished selection praising and describing (facets of) The Absolute. I have been asked why write poetry after four books of prose? When discussing this with a poet friend of mine he asserted that poetry has the potential to be more powerful than prose, as it is more condensed and thus requires the reader to investigate its meaning more than prose, which tends to put the meaning 'on a plate'. As my writings are always an exhortation for the readers to investigate the Truth for themselves I was...
