Welcome


Welcome to the English version of the blog brouillondeconscience ('draft of consciousness' when translated from French).


How do we reconcile our spiritual quest with the reality of our daily life?
Often, in our "search for the Self" we begin to see the world as illusory, therefore we start ignoring it.
Yet this world of transient events is no more than the beaming expression of the Self.
This blog attempts to express the attention to the transient and the recognition of its Source.

Fear and Awareness

" The mind is a coward, and has to be a coward because it doesn't have any substance. It is empty and hollow, afraid of everything. And basically it is afraid that one day you may become aware.
That fear keeps people away from meditation, makes them enemies of people like me who are trying to spread something of meditation, some way of awareness and witnessing. They become antagonistic to me - not without any reason - their fear is well-founded.
Mind is really afraid to come close to anything that can create more awareness. That will be the beginning of the end of the mind. That will be the death of the mind."
