Non-duality is a paradox there’s no two ways about it. On the one hand we have the stark simplicity that non-duality is a realisation of the undivided nature of all in which there is no sense of self. On the other hand, well what do we have? Ancient teachings in Sanskrit and Pali, mystics through […]

Bear with me, this is going to be a long one (because you won’t get much from the short answer). Firstly let me say that this post, like all the other posts is not here to sell non-duality. Non-duality is not going to solve your problems, make your life better or improve you in any […]
When you get right down to it all spiritual paths are about awakening; awakening to this, seeing the truth that is the present moment with clarity. I know de-mystifying it in that way may not appeal to all, but fundamentally there is no mystery to solve, no hidden truth to uncover and in fact you […]
A lot of this is about identification. It seems to start with belief; unconscious belief. Unexamined belief that arises automatically so that when a thought or feeling arises, rather than seeing it, we are it. We’re born as it a thousand time a day.

We just made everything much more complex and detailed to compensate and so we really haven’t made any progress. Layer upon layer of bureaucracy and not much […]
Few people really want to awaken. Much like physical sleep we don’t really want to wake up. Not when we’re in the middle of having a nice dream; when we’re cosy and comfy and not ready to face the day. Why would we? Why would we want to face the cold reality of day when […]
It’s hard not to have expectations in life. When we set off on a journey we expect to arrive at the other end and we imagine what that will be like. If we wait for a bus, a train, our meal to arrive, we have expectations of having our desires met; perhaps with a certain […]
In mindfulness we rest in the wider experience of the moment. Establishing mindfulness; acquiring the positive habit of allowing attention to move to the senses, the form, the energies and feelings we experience, all the while aware of these rather than identified with them, is incredibly beneficial. What we discover is that obsessive and repetitive […]
