How to be inclusive? The answer is you can’t. This is such a good example of why nonduality is such a brilliant teaching, because nonduality goes at a spiritual question from the negative rather than the positive. If you try to go possitive you immediately become lost in infinite details. How to be inclusive? “I …

The Mystical is Always There
The mystical is always there. It’s inside of you, it’s outside of you as well. Have you ever noticed that, no matter how hard you try, your critical brain just keeps talking and talking and going and going and going? Because it’s alive, it’s part of your aliveness. Same thing with the mystical. It is always there, it’s just not very loud. It’s not even as loud as a soft breeze blowing. It’s total softness and silence that’s inside you all the time. This is why Mystics and teachers are always saying, you don’t have to search for it, just sit silent and let this part of you grow.
Who Are You?
So, who are you? How do you figure that out? How do you realize your nature, when your whole life you’ve been taught to project yourself outside of yourself? Fortunately, as human beings, we’re really, really smart, so we can work through it. First step is to understand what a projection is. One of the …
Programmed to live in pretense
We are programmed to live in pretense. I’d like to pass on a sentiment, not an exact quote, but an idea from John Trudell from his book ‘Lines from a Mind.’ He says that everyone’s minds are molded to be broken enough to live in the society that we have. He’s very interesting because all …
Not confused by life
Non-duality is really just explaining what life is through the negative. Saying it’s not this, it’s not that. It’s not this, it’s not that. It is a heyday for spiritual teachers who don’t really understand it. They can go crazy with all the concepts it seems to be talking about. But it’s also a total heyday for the spiritual teachers that do understand it because it’s so much easier to talk about what doesn’t exist, and try to get people to come back to reality, than it is to try to explain unity through platitudes like, “you’re the universe, you’re this, you’re that.” So there you go, the secret is out.
Imagine not being confused by life itself. It has a bonus because this is the place where wisdom actually grows.
The Story of Healing
All of these different stories we’ve been telling work into the story of healing because healing is very much a process of stepping out of your own way. This is an easy way for us to misunderstand the idea of spiritual healing because we think you can put your hands on somebody and heal them. …
Have You Ever Experienced Unity
Have you ever experienced unity with other human beings? This is something that I just love working on because I love doing the Dances of Universal Peace. We get together in a big circle and we dance and sing together and move together. Human beings in a circle, we magically come into unity. You’ve probably …
If You See God
If you see God, then you know there is no God. If you see God, then you know that everything is God. That might sound a little confusing because it sounds like two different things, two different perceptions. But what matters is who is seeing. Once you know who is seeing, then you see that …
