Nonduality and Native Wisdom

Nonduality, as a spiritual practice is a bigger, riper, more robust philosophy than we typically see. It needs a facelift.

This book brings native wisdom into the field of nonduality and opens up how we see our thoughts, how we see our history, and how we see our culture so that awakening becomes possible. With a true earth-view of who we are, we can start creating ways to live that are sustainable and dynamic.

Die Before You Die

Die before you die is a Sufi teaching about life. It’s about how to live a life that is ripe and full, free of the oppressive false self. It’s a spiritual practice of awakening the aspect of your being that can never die because it has no separation.

In this short book we will examine different sides of this idea: “Die before you die.” What does it mean? How do we live in this state where we have died before we physically die? We will discover that we are talking about a state of freedom.
