Hey Seamus, Good post. I agree with you that at the ultimate level, we are all already enlightened, for our true nature as conscious awareness already exists. The onion metaphor is perfect. It's not about trying to go out and find something new, but rather letting go of the layers of fear, illusion, and limitation that cover up the core of our being. You mentioned the concept of controlling the ego. Who is it that wants to control the ego? Ariel - We Are All Ones last blog post..Forcing Presence vs. Allowing Presence

[...] to give a less extreme example, you might not be so sure that everybody is already enlightened. So write about that (or make a video or whatever) and let us and every body else [...]

Hey thanks Stephen, pretty cool to know my words strike a chord with people. Sometimes when I am writing this kooky stuff I wonder if I am in fact barking mad

All I can say is - Word. This article resonates about as close to 100% as it possibly could with everything I have come to understand after what (to me) has been a lot of very active seeking. Stephens last blog post..How to Boost Your Self-Confidence

Hey Gruff, no worries – glad you dig the blog and great that you had an “a ha” moment (not the ’80s pop band!) while reading it.

Thanks for a great article Seamus, I have been reading lots and listerning to some CD’s which cover much of what you have said, except in a more roundabout fashion. I really liked the distinction you made about ego, which I havn’t “got” before, as opposed to true self. The fact that ego is only a small part of us but one which rules us, and that we can detach from it made a lot of sense to me. So thanks again, really like the blogg! Gruff.

Hi Martin,

Fair enough. Let me rephrase: Acid is unhealthy for my body

Truthfully I don’t reckon I’ve ever had acid that wasn’t dirty stuff that the ‘experts’ wouldn’t go near. But anyway I don’t seem to be that interested these days. Maybe I’ll change my mind one day (I reserve the right).

Anyway, glad you like our blog!

Nice post (on a brilliant website). As someone at the age of 32 still enjoying the odd couple of enlightened hours using certain substances I just wanted to mention that whatever you think/feel about acid, it’s NOT unhealthy for the body. No really, it isn’t.
Anyway, keep up the good work (and please don’t fulfill my expectations

[...] your inherent enlightenment is a matter of taste-testing a lot of different ideas. It’s about trying different concepts [...]
