Choice and Desire
Choices are made through desire, and through our choices we can always find a way to become free.

Forgetfulness and Consciousness
Our consciousness must be renewed every moment in order to grow, and as we cannot be conscious of everything at the same time we must therefore let go of our old consciousness for it to move on to a new, and allow ourselves to forget it for the time being.

Nothing has ever arisen in any other way than evolution and nothing ever will, as everything can only come into being from that which is already there, so that everything can only change in and of itself, and no one and nothing can ever change in another’s place. There is nothing that we have t... Read more ...

Consciousness and Time
All consciousness is current, even that about future and past, but our consciousness of the current is only small part of our consciousness, and to focus only on it can therefore only reduce our consciousness. Instead, we should focus on all our consciousness if we are to become more conscious.... Read more ...

Distraction is nothing but the disconnection of different parts of our consciousness, so that they are no longer conscious of each other, causing us to become less conscious. There is no form of consciousness that can in itself be a distraction, but if, in thinking it is, we try to separate it ... Read more ...
