The nondual understanding cannot truly be explained by any model, system or description. But we can use skillful metaphors, such as a compass, that symbolize an essential aspect of the truth.

Compass is something that always points north which stands for our home as our essential nature free from identity and suffering. 

This journey is designed to be an evocative experience which doesn’t take a lot of work.

As our real nature is something that we already are, complicated exercises tend to obscure the subtle nature of reality as they seem to suggest that it is through work and practice that we can conquer the ego and finally be at peace.

Truth of the matter is, you will never reach a better moment for realization than the one you are in now. This is the simple truth because you are not anything that is perceived, you are the perceiving which is always available. What is required is clarity into our inner life and an understanding that becomes experiential and subtle.

You cannot push to understand, understanding is something that unfolds. Whatever methods and practices you choose, be sure you are invited by love of truth and exploration rather than a need to pursue pleasant states or exciting experiences.

Only that which is always available is truly worth it.

Don’t expect anything. If you feel a glimpse of joy or peace when looking at the introduction video or reading what is written on this page, trust that.

Learn to listen and read with total intelligence and then allow that intelligence to take charge of Life.

My teaching is aligned with jnana yoga, the yoga of understanding. This is also what my teacher, Francis Lucille teaches. I thought I was years away from teaching, I had this vague idea of maybe turning to doing it 10-15 years from now or maybe not at all. 

After meeting my teacher I felt an enormous love that was compelling in a way I had never experienced before. The love I feel when I speak with people is several magnitudes stronger than anything I’ve experienced in my life. When I hear questions and hear the answer rising, it is as if my entire Being sings with joy. 

In the spirit of full transparency and honesty I do still experience mild forms of suffering and the experience of the body can have its tensions and density. I catch myself quite often hoping for more comfortable and pleasurable states of body and mind. 

But I also love teaching more than anything and feel that my answers and teaching comes from the right place. I honestly feel teaching is something I truly enjoy and this body-mind has many qualities that make it suitable for deep interaction with people. 

If I had to call this form something that tells of how it lives and teaches, I would call it a spiritual pragmatist. I see no sense in assuming a world-view that creates depression, it is not a question of being spiritual, merely having enough intelligent curiosity to first understand we all have a model of reality and that model deeply impacts the way we experience Life.

Believing the universe was born randomly and that there is nothing stable, only matter on its way to death, is a disastrous recipe for happiness and neither intelligence or science(physics) supports that view.  

When you investigate consciousness, you are accessing the best possible knowledge of reality. Because although everything could be a dream, the fact that we are perceiving is undeniable. There is something rather than nothing.

This investigation is different from all other pursuits because the fundamental nature of consciousness makes it impossible to define it in terms of what is perceived.

It’s like a scientist looking at the stars, finding the secrets of the cosmos but never learning anything about what is looking through the telescope.

This is the reason there is only one possible method to investigate, you have to look into it yourself. PhDs of people that are writing about consciousness will not be able to help you because the Phds are in consciousness. 

Once you understand that happiness is being without a personal identity and that everything you want is either because you want happiness or happiness wants it for you, life becomes very simple and lovely.

What you want is always available and then that experience shows you where to go and it leads to an incredible sense of freedom and joy. 

This era is truly unique and remarkable as we find ourselves in a world where friends who are interested in the truth are able to communicate and share with remarkable ease. YouTube is filled with good content and traveling has never been easier.

We do not have to investigate alone in a cave but if that is what you really want, you should do it. For most of us, I believe it’s a safe bet to say that the truth is best enjoyed with friends who share this sacred quest. 

I was never officially ordained on any path but now that I look at what has happened, jnana yoga is the closest approximation of what I followed.

It is a full investigation of what is going on right now requiring no external beliefs of any kind but rather an openness and courage to truly engage with the deepest questions of Life, the perennial quest ‘Who Am I?’. 

I sometimes call the experience of unconditioned awareness the Deep Awesome Silence. It says what I feel is the truth and it also tells something of my experience and points to the unnameable in a way I feel has the smack of authenticity.

Allow this and other expressions be felt in the totality of your Being as a stepping stone to the direct experience. Jnana Yoga leads you via the concepts of the mind to the experiential understanding of the reality.

When you realize yourself as the presence of awareness, you simultaneously realize that happiness is only the experience of the now without a personal identity.

Everybody knows this experience, few understand that it is always there like the blue sky is always there despite the clouds.

So again and again, we show up with our suffering and the apparent teacher guides us back to this recognition that our true nature is always available, free of lack and fear and it certainly has no problems.

We should understand that our suffering is layered in the body-mind and there are often layers that keep troubling us long after we have understood the nondual teaching.

It is not a failure that we find uncomfortable layers in our experience, it is a triumph. Only our true nature as awareness has power to heal and for something to be transformed, it needs to show up.

Let us be rather like a humble student of the universe, wondering and receiving all this magnificence which includes strange poisonous artefacts and exciting darkness that veils our vision. Together, let us embrace the totality of Life and let this quest lead us to that Deep Awesome Silence.
