Mystic Dance of Awakening
What is it that keeps people from seeing life itself as awake?
It’s the stories we’ve been told. You’ve been told that you’re not awake. You’ve been told that rocks aren’t awake, that squirrels aren’t, that trees aren’t. But we live in a vast world of awareness. The only thing that’s questionable as awake is the modern human story.
So listen to the awakeness around you. You never know when it might walk up to you in a coffee shop and knock on your head.
Nonduality is not lost. Down underneath your confusion you’re not lost; you’re completely there and awake. The confusion of who we are, the spiritual search, or any of those things, is just a crust that we carry over ourselves. It’s a crust that has been put on us by the things we’ve been taught and …
Nonduality is edgeless. What is that place in your being where there’s no edge? No place where ‘you’ stop? This is the non-dual state.

They are a great burden to be carrying around. Underneath, there is a you that is not confused. What you’re looking for in your nondual …
Nonduality is consciousness. You can feel inside yourself, how it animates every aspect of your body and your mind. Consciousness is such a remarkable field to be within. Here you reading a blog I wrote. In my real time I’m sitting in my room and editing on a computer… but this comes through my consciousness. …
Nonduality is living. It is literally the life within you that bubbles up in you, in me, and in everything on the Earth. Just think how spring comes and everything bubbles forth alive. Everything interacts with each other and grows and blooms. Then in the winter, it goes to sleep, but then it bubbles back …
Nonduality is contagious. I think that we are in a wave of awakening happening across the planet, and there are so many things contributing to it. One is our enhanced ability to communicate. It’s easier now to find an awakened person than it ever has been, and there are so many different examples. It’s not …
