What about Practices?
What about spiritual practices, such as meditation, or yoga practices? Even if, according to non-dual philosophy (or the Three Principles Psychology – 3P), “I” don’t really exist as a body or mind, nor does the world absolutely (and in 3P, a seeing beyond, an understanding such as to transcend Thought is all that’s needed), aren’t…
Read MoreOn Beyond Nonduality Teachings
OK so I guess I want to write more of an explanation of my “WHICH WAY TO THE SELF” joke sign (or t-shirt), since no one seemed to get it when I posted it my “Group With No Name” FaceBook group (as far as I know). I created that after I was inspired, opening this…
Read MoreThe Practice of Peace (an EsotEric* Approach)
To see if I could help or address the concerns, and for the joy of writing, I jotted down these notes (an imperfect article) in response to a client that asked a question. They felt they’d had an awakening, then lost it – they felt they’d lost the peace and happiness somehow. They seemed to…
Read MoreBeyond Atheism, Agnosticism, and Theism
Most of us have been asked at some point in our lives if we believe in God. We also at some point may have been put in a category of either an atheist, an agnostic, or a theist (in common culture more likely something like a “believer”). The definitions of these terms are (dictionary and…
Read MorePainters of the Self
Sages like Ramana Maharshi, Lester, Robert Adams, Francis Lucille, Lao Tsu, Sydney Banks, and so on, are all pointing at the same Self, the same oneness, universal consciousness, infinite intelligence that we are, that you are, that I Am. But each is painting a picture of the mountain using different paints and paint brushes. Some…
Read MoreOn Love
What do you actually love? What do you have have faith in, show your devotion to, pray to, as you go about your daily life, thinking and talking and doing? If you took an honest look at yourself, what do you have faith in that you believe will bring you happiness? In your devotion –…
Read MoreNONDUALITY: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to keep in mind the totality, the whole, the One that you are. The infinite. Find out if there are any real borders… Any real limits… Can there possibly be any real separate entities anywhere in existence? Therefore all is as it should be: there…
Read MoreA Dialogue With Francis Lucille Regarding Teaching and Life Coaching
This post is a record of, first, a question the well-renowned Advaita (non-duality) teacher Francis Lucille (Rupert Spira’s teacher) was asked online a number of years ago (no longer available on the internet so I’ve posted here as a service). It follows with an email dialogue I had with Francis. I later talked with him in…
Read MoreOn Beyond Being Human: a Sort of Poem
Let’s consider this scenario: It’s all or nothing: because there is no partial Self, and self-realization is not for persons (egos) or separate entities. Since there is no one anyway. No bodies. And “Mind” with a small “m” is synonymous with movement, as in “a movement and a rest” (Gospel of Thomas, 50). We could…
Read MoreOn Beyond Life and Career Advice (for Teens and Adults)
Reflecting on Life and Career Advice (for teens or adults): Last night I watched some old videos of a famous comic, brilliant, creative, very “successful”, but who eventually committed suicide. And so many of the celebrities have been in and out of drug rehab, or commit suicide, or become recluses, or go through strings of…
