Becoming is addictive. It’s a strange little poison that takes root in the sense of self or ego-identification and if left unchecked will grow and spread with each step on a ‘spiritual path’. My early forays into what would eventually become a spiritual inquiry took in a wide range of topics from crop circles to […]

I offered a very quick pointer to someone the other day suggesting that as the awareness that is present as part of this human experience has no conditions it’s not a personal thing. She then asked if consciousness is everywhere. I didn’t have the time to provide a full response and only managed the briefest […]
I don’t know where to start this and at the back of my mind I’m already wondering if I can find the words to express what I would like to share. Right now, as I pause at my keyboard there is a slipping back; back and out of the forms and conventions that make up […]
Love. Tricky, isn’t it. We each have those who are closest to us, those for whom we care the most. But we know, although we rarely choose to think about it, as we travel this journey from birth to death, that many will become parted from us along the way. It may simply be geography, […]
Some people describe awakening as the end of suffering. It’s one of the more divisive phrases that gets used in relation to the shift that takes us back from a subject/object experiencing of life to one in which there is no ‘us’, no ‘me’, no subject/object unless we engage in that way, this being replaced […]
Have you noticed that Theistic religions often end up in fragmentation? A few hundred years on from their starting point there are lots of groups and schools of thought all claiming to worship the same god.

From all the conversations I’ve had over the years about awakening this is the most common assumption: that this cannot possibly be it. Clients on the LU forum (myself included) come with a tick list usually acquired from reading all the things it should and shouldn’t be. The requirements are refined down on a pick […]
Trying to follow a spiritual path can be confusing. Even though we realise there’s one Truth that’s being pointed to, it’s sometimes hard to reconcile the advice, views and pointers offered by different teachers. The English language isn’t well equipped to handle some of the nondual teachings on offer and so we have no common agreed terminology to help […]
I don’t know if there’s ever been a better time to be easily bored. Go back thirty years and where were we? No internet, no satellite TV, rudimentary PC’s (I still loved my Sinclair Spectrum!), so if you didn’t like what was on the four terrestrial channels (UK) or didn’t have a good book to […]
Once upon a time there was a character called Sarah. As part of her journey to find truth she signed up to the Liberation Unleashed (LU) forum which helps guide seekers towards and through the ‘Gateless Gate’ i.e. to awakening. She took 16 pages to Gate. That’s 3 ½ months of looking on a daily […]
