Four Steps to Non Duality
You've read all the Non-Duality books and have been going to non-duality speakers for years. You still have not got this.
Can Awakening be Lost?
Awakening is knowing who I am - which is oneness and non duality. And this knowing cannot be unknown, cannot be lost.
Can Words Express Non-Duality?
There is a problem that all non-duality teachers come against. How can you express what is essentially indescribable?
Who Chooses What You Think?
Who chooses the images that appear in your mind when there is no conscious recognition of choosing? Who chooses what you think?
Is There a God Spot in the Brain?
Is there a God Spot in the brain and will this cause you to get non-duality?
Is There a Separate Self?
There is is a sense of aseparte self, an appearance of a separate self, and this is what we need in order to function in this world.
Is Awakening The End of Attachment?
The mind is sometimes like the fire - it can rage and burn. Allow it to be, observe its games. None of this is happening to you.

What Goes On In Your Brain Mind?
You live in a world that you call reality. It certainly looks real, but this world is in fact constructed by you.

The End of What is Non Duality?
Image via Wikipedia This could be the last post on the What Is Non Duality web site. As my life journey flows, my perspective has changed. I was a seeker who, after an encounter with non duality, ceased seeking. I then made the short video What is Non Duality which to date has been viewed over 30,o000 times on You Tube.

After Non Duality
Image via Wikipedia There is a tendency amongst speakers on non duality to say that once you have “got it” then that’s it. You are liberated, awakened and have reached the final frontier as far as spirituality is concerned. I disagree. Once you have realized the oneness, seen that there is no separation, no duality of you and the rest of the universe; then you have certainly... [Read more]

Along comes Jenny Upstart who, after a few weeks exposure to non-duality, is walking across Clapham Common one day and, with a blinding flash of awareness, gets it.

Beyond Non-Duality
For many long years I struggled as a spiritual seeker, seeking out: Gurus Spiritual teachers Mystical experiences Spiritual practices Spiritual companions Although I developed ideas about compassion, wholeness and emanating love to heal the world; to tell the truth, I was basically seeking from the perspective of self interest. There was something I felt was missing in my life. I did not know what... [Read more]
Is There Anybody Out There?
Image via Wikipedia One of the states of duality is the sense that there is an I which resides inside a body, and then there is a world outside the body. I look out through these eyes to a computer screen on which text is appearing as I type. For most practical purposes this view of me and my relationship to the outside world works. It allows me to function in the world, to interact with the... [Read more]
Try to Find Your Self
Image by sunjaec via Flickr One things that non-dualists says is that there is no separate self. How does the mind get around that one? It seems so obvious that you exist. Every time that you use the word ‘I’, you are establishing that you exist as a single standalone entity. So let’s find the I. Can you find the I without the content of the I? What I mean by this is that,... [Read more]
How to Live Longer
Image via Wikipedia I was watching a video on the internet today. It was a talk by a man who had been involved in research into the secret of a long life. He looked at several areas of the world where the average lifespan is considerably longer than the average. He showed slides of 102 year olds water skiing, a 97 year old heart surgeon and a 103 year old grannie. They all appeared to live happy... [Read more]
Non Duality Christmas
How does a non-dualist spend Christmas? I’m spending a day with my family: eating good food, drinking fine wine, opening presents, taking the dog for a walk in the snow, playing silly board games. A normal Christmas I suppose. What is the meaning of Christmas? As I am not a Christian then I do not have religious feelings about Christmas. For me, Christmas has no meaning. It is there to be enjoyed.... [Read more]
The Secret Essence
Image via Wikipedia The human brain has evolved to do complicated things. Whenever I see a scientist pictured in front of a blackboard covered with equations, I think to myself how complicated the equations look, and what a brilliant mind the scientist must have to figure it all out. I’ve just finished a computer program Life Manager Pro that involved hundreds of lines of computer code. My... [Read more]
