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.

Lessons From Krishnamurti Standing Alone

Now, having come to the end of seeking, I understand what seeing Krishnamurti standing alone means.

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.

Who Owns Your Life?

"No," I replied, I'm going to the cinema to see a film starring Jimi Hendrix." My fellow devotee looked shocked

Do You Need To Go to the Extreme?

When the Self disappears, so does doubt and with it the fears and anxieties that inhibit the human potential, both physical and mental.

What Happens When You’ve Gone?

I saw this interview with a lady who claimed to have had a spiritual awakening. During her awakening Princes Diana came to her as an ambassador of the dead to reveal that we survive after death. One inescapable truths is that everything is impermanent.

Time to Go

The human race is fond of complaining:

I don’t like the weather
I hate the way my boss treats me
I hate the way my partner treats me
I don’t like my bad habits
I don’t like this meal

The list of things to complain and whine about appears endless.

What would happen if you caught yourself in the act of complaining and decided to stop? How would you feel?

I’m not suggesting that you adopt a policy of positive thinking and positive affirmations. Both complaining and positive thinking are states that you appear to choose. What would happen if you chose no state, but just let everything be as it is, without judgment, without a view?

This may sound more like a self-development talk than non-duality. What has it to do with non-duality?

The non-dual perspective moves you away from obsession with your life story and all its dramas. You become less concerned with your own ego, your wants and desires. Having seen the vast emptiness from which all thoughts and feelings arise then subside into, you begin to loose all meaning. You and your life no longer have a purpose and meaning.

“What!” you may exclaim in horror. “I have to have a meaning and purpose in life. What else can I live for?”

Why not just live in a state of not-knowing, not-believing, no faith, no hopes, no dreams, no fears? Is such a thing possible? Can you really let go of all that you hold dear and important in your life? Can you just give up?

What then? Do you become a insensitive, uncaring person? Apparently not.

Love arises, freedom arises… Time to go, time to go…

I like Dogs they wine and cry like the rest of us and they do it with out words. And no creature on this planet is more loving and loyal to the pack. No judgement,no bad moods, always glad to see you, happy to spend almost 100% of their time with you, will bark warnings to protect you, grow to love your human friends for the most part, eats scraps, licks the floor clean from spills, sleeps at your side while napping or bed time. The only bad things dogs do is eat doo doo have not experienced a dog yet that will not do this. But that is not a bad trade off for becoming civilized and our companions. As far as Im concerned dogs invented the non duality concept and they are my guru’s as far as non duality teachers go. Mooji , Burt Harding,Tony Parsons,Byron Katie, Charlie Hayes, Steve Gray, are very good teachers also but dogs got them beat.
