Is it all an illusion?

A refreshing reminder that this is NOT an illusion. Do not attempt to adjust your TV sets. The manifest world is coming in crystal clear and ultimately not separate.

Satori experience

by Devesh Komaromi

The Satori process is something I have known about for many years, and had been resisting doing just as long. If anyone knows about the “Enlightenment Intensive” version of the process, you’ll know just how long… The story I told myself was that it was too much work, too tiring, and that I probably wouldn’t ‘get it’ anyway.

Then a few years back, my dear friend Louise who had trained with Clare was leading her first group in upstate New York and asked if I would join… Read more »

Talks with Wayne Liquorman – February 2010

“This Advaita, as I talk about it, is not actually a philosophy because it does not hold any tenets. It is simply a collection of pointers and concepts, and it posits that none of them are true in an absolute sense. This teaching is not about Read more »

What is a sage?

We had the pleasure of hosting Wayne Liquorman this past weekend. His message is simple and profound. He delivers it unconditionally with love and presence. I turned my video camera on in a spontaneous moment during the weekend to capture him reading a poem by Leonard Cohen printed in Wayne’s book “Never Mind.” Wayne is himself a poet. Unfortunately, I didn’t get video of him reading one of his own but this is a beautiful poem sweetly read.

More on Truth

by Spencer Barron

A talk by Adyashanti:

I want to start out here by sharing a story with you. Some years ago I was on the island of Maui and I was giving a talk and I was talking about truth and I was more specifically talking about how the truth really manifests in the context of life after awakening.  And what I was saying was what would it be like if we didn’t avoid anything we knew to be true. What if we came out of hiding in all areas of our life, what if we stopped avoiding ourselves completely because that literally is the awakened life.

Who are you?

A great email from Paul Lowe to his mailing list:

When I mentioned liking and disliking a person I did not mean liking and disliking different aspects of them, I meant liking and disliking all of them at the same time. Yes they do have different aspects which can be liked or disliked but I am not talking about you them, I am talking about you.

In one way we all have a ‘multiple personality disorder.’ There are many aspects to us and we switch our behaviour according to what is convenient in a given circumstance. But this is the point I am attempting to share — our ‘True Self’ is trapped beneath these fixed shells that we use of our personality, character, and behavioural patterns.  Read more »

Unlimited!

Excerpt from an email from Paul Lowe to his list today.

We have been programmed to believe that once we have attained our goals we will be happy. We continue to believe in that belief even though there is no proof that it is so. To the contrary in fact. But we do not want to admit this, otherwise, we are not in control — plus, what is there to live for! This is the way it is.

We do not feel fulfilled with anything on the outside because — they do not bring us what we really would like — the feeling of safety, security, and predictability. Even although no one we know feels safe and secure we continue to believe it is possible. The reason we do not feel safe and secure is because these states do not exist in this dimension with our present level of consciousness. Nothing is safe, nothing is secure and nothing is predictable. That is the way this dimension is. And we have designed it that way.  Read more »
