Nonduality simply means that there’s not two of you, and so therefore… you can’t find yourself. There’s not two things. — Non-duality means you exist — Nonduality means that you exist. Usually people don’t say that… but obviously, you’re the one who’s not seeing two things.

Sufi Heart With Wings
In the art of Being, Hazrat Inayat Khan says that the Sufi flies with wings on his heart. This is a Sufi teaching about being free from the nafs, from the ego, from your misconceptions. You’ll notice that I used the pronoun “he” very specifically. I’ll talk about that later because that’s very important, but …

It’s diving into the question of what causes cancer to …
Wherever You Go
I love the Old Hippie saying of ‘Wherever you go, there you are.’ It’s so true. You cannot get away from yourself… because you would be the one trying to get away from yourself. This is the revelation. If you read or study any of the people telling their enlightenment experience, this is exactly what …
Fear of Death
Fear of death is one of the biggest motivations people have to get involved in spirituality. Our brains are really smart; this is a problem because we are able to understand that each of us is going to die, and because the stories we’ve been given about that don’t quite make sense, it creates a …
