An Extraordinary Absence: Liberation in the Midst of a Very Ordinary Life Author: Jeff Foster Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Non-Duality Press ISBN: 978-0-9563091-0-5 Format: Paperback Pages: 224 List Price: £10.00 Review Link |
Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description Jeff Foster invites you to forget everything you know, everything you've been taught, everything you've ever read about spiritual awakening, Oneness, enlightenment, nonduality and Advaita, and to consider a new possibility: the possibility of absolute freedom, right now, right here in the midst of this very ordinary life. Using everyday language and drawing on both personal experience and age-old wisdom, Jeff shares the possibility that all the seeking and longing of the mind can come to an absolute end with the falling-away of the sense of being a separate individual, and a plunge into unconditional love. And in that plunge - which is totally beyond anything you have ever imagined - this so-called ordinary life reveals its great Secret. Written with stunning clarity and aliveness, this book is a love letter to the exhausted spiritual seeker who is simply longing to come Home. Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

His invitation is to live life from a wholly different perspective--one centered in the infinite awareness of one's true Self.

Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description 'Spiritual' dialogues usually aim to guide the seeker towards enlightenment, towards escape from identification as a suffering individual. In Being: The Bottom Line, however, Nathan Gill points out that 'enlightenment' only appears significant from the viewpoint of 'me' - it's only the story of 'me' that requires enlightenment. Your true nature is Being, and Being is already all that is (even when there is seeming ignorance of that), with no requirements whatsoever. Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

Beyond Awakening Author: Jeff Foster Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Non-Duality Press ISBN: 978-0-9553999-7-8 Format: Paperback Pages: 141 List Price: £8.00 Extract Link |
Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description "The entire spiritual search rests on the assumption that there is a separate individual who seeks...." This is a book about the utterly obvious. It's about the spiritual search, and the frustrations surrounding it. It's about those ultimate goals we set ourselves: enlightenment, awakening, liberation, and how those goals can never actually be reached, because - and here's the great discovery - the person who seeks them has no more reality than a presently-arising belief. That is to say, "you" are just a thought, happening now. A sequel to the bestselling " Life Without A Centre: Awakening from the Dream of Separation", this book is packed with clear and vibrant expressions of nonduality. Time and time again, the text gently points back to the futility of both the spiritual search, and the "search to end the search" (another game the mind loves to play). With great humour, compassion and clarity, the book will draw you into a direct confrontation with your own absence, an absence which, paradoxically, is also a perfect presence. This may be the last book a spiritual seeker will ever need." About the Author Jeff Foster graduated in astrophysics from Cambridge University. Soon after graduation, life events lead him to an intense two-year spiritual search, culminating in the realisation that there was never anything to find in the first place. He currently writes and talks on what some people have called "non-duality", but which he just refers to as "the utterly, utterly obvious". Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

Editorial Reviews Product Description This is a good title-something new and outstanding, "Fill Your Hole" is a practical guide that brings us back, before you appeared where we find our spirituality at last. Through this understanding and reorientation a natural bliss and intimacy is found, fulfilment and joy. Your hole is filled, as we learn to let go of this self illusion. There is no you or I as such.

The calamity of thinking we are someone is seen through now, as we expose what we really are, strip naked of what we have taken too be, and enjoy this paradise we are. This has the potential to change our life. We are spiritual, experiencing the physical, but this has been covered over - we are deluded. He gives an understanding, which leads us to let go of the intellect and engage in this simple but profound reorientation, and be found. Come and take a step in evolution.

Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description A compilation of expressions, questions and answers that came about in response to Leo's highly praised first book 'Awakening to the Dream'. Leo writes with characteristic insight and uses metaphor to illuminate the paradoxical and apparently confusing nature of non-dual reality. His original writing is reinforced by a vast knowledge of non-duality in other spiritual traditions and he weaves these together with his own direct path to present clear pointers to contemporary seekers An appropriately chosen quotation taken from various sources appears at the end of each short chapter. Also included at the end of the book is the full text of the Hsin-hsin Ming by the third Chan patriarch Seng-ts'an "The words in this book repeatedly point to the essence which knows the reading as it takes place. Rather than an encouragement to follow a lengthy path, it is an invitation to step off the path. It does not point to 'your' awareness, but to Awareness itself in which the idea of 'you' appears. It does not point to 'your' beingness, but to the undeniable Beingness that appears as you." Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

Haunted Universe: The True Knowledge of Enlightenment, Revised Edition Author: Stephen Norquist Editor/Commentator: Publisher: CreateSpace ISBN: 978-1-4528-5966-8 Format: Paperback Pages: 200 List Price: £12.00 |
Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description "NEWLY REVISED EDITION" Haunted Universe is a journey into dark realms, an uncompromising presentation of the real cost of Awakening. Where other books have promised that the path to Enlightenment is one of joy, bliss and self discovery, this book makes no such claims. Haunted Universe does not attempt to gloss over, but actually emphasizes what those who embark on the path of Enlightenment must face about themselves and their lives before they dare make an incautious leap into a state that demands a confrontation with humanity's greatest fear-the loss of self. About the Author In 2002 Steven Norquist experienced that final and irrevocable event known as Awakening. The effects of this experience and the nature of its power were described by Steven a year later in his essay entitled, "What is Enlightenment, no, I mean really, like what is it?" This challenging essay found wide circulation on the internet where it was praised, debated and understood to be a profoundly clear and direct modern explanation of Enlightenment. In 2010, having lived in the Awakening for 8 years, Steven now offers "Haunted Universe - The True Knowledge of Enlightenment" a dark work that awakens the emptiness within that we all sense, but fear to acknowledge.

Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description It is rare to find a young woman writing in this field; it is rarer still to find such a fresh yet authoritative expression of that which always and already is, from which there is no escape and yet which is so often overlooked, even (or especially) in the seeking of it. This book is a pleasure to read. It avoids the well-worn Advaita quotes and clichés and with great sweetness and clarity points directly to What I am. "Unmani writes clearly, fluently and comprehensively about the different aspects and perceptions that arise.

Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description This is an uncompromising and provocative book about non-duality. In liberation it is seen that all phenomena simply arise in awareness with no person mediating them. Purpose, religion and paths of spiritual development all lose their meaning when it is seen that there is no one who exercises choice. "Richard's description of what has been seen in liberation is both eloquent and down to earth. His direct, uncluttered and concise expression can be readily identified with and speaks directly to that knowing which is beyond seeking."

Invitation to Awaken: Embracing Our Natural State of Presence Author: Tony Parsons Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Inner Directions ISBN: 978-1-878019-21-9 Format: Paperback Pages: 131 List Price: £10.00 |
Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description Invitation to Awaken is a radical call to liberate ourselves from the mistaken belief that we exist as a separate individual. This simple yet profound message, conveyed in a clear and often humorous manner, helps free us from our self-imposed limitations. When we recognize our true nature, we express the freedom that is our natural state and birthright. These new dialogues with Tony Parsons, recorded from talks in Southern California, deepen the exploration that he began in his best-selling book, As It Is. This refreshingly original and timeless message has the power to demystify our long-held concepts about spiritual awakening and cut through the subtle mental obstacles that obscure our natural state of Presence. Rather than adopt an approach that perpetuates our sense of separateness, Parsons urges us to drop all effort to become realized and discover the liberating truth that we already are what we seek. About the Author Tony Parsons was born in London in 1933. At the age of 20 he discovered "the secret" of his intrinsic nature--unlimited awareness. Until 1996, Tony only shared this sudden but natural revelation with friends. Since 1996, Tony has been meeting with larger audiences and leading retreats throughout Europe. To meet with Tony is to encounter a paradox. He is refreshingly ordinary and very approachable, yet the message he communicates is unique and revolutionary; it is delivered with a gentle but impersonal authority which emanates from absolute clarity.

Pass the Jelly: Tales of Ordinary Enlightenment Author: Gary Crowley Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Sentient Publications ISBN: 978-1-59181-092-6 Format: Paperback Pages: 199 List Price: £8.00 |
Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Review I find in Gary Crowley and his book Pass the Jelly a rare combination of humor, perspective and wisdom -- a refreshing take on life and reality. I'm the better for it, and I hope many people partake in this nourishing and tasty feast. --Dan Millman, author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior In a genre loaded with books about the serious business of enlightenment, Gary Crowley's new book, Pass the Jelly, shows us we can frequently find humor on the road to awakening. I recommend this book to anyone interested in laughing their way to practical enlightenment. --Ike Allen, co-creator of the movie Leap! Gary Crowley explores the brilliant ordinariness of "what is" with a user-friendly writing style that sparkles with wit and wisdom. By humorously showing how everyday encounters can be opportunities for new awareness, he invites readers to open themselves to the obvious beauty and simplicity of the here-and-now moment. If you're tired of long-winded, esoteric books that aren't grounded in the real world, then Pass the Jelly is definitely something that you'll enjoy. Highly recommended. --Chuck Hillig, author of Enlightenment for Beginners Gary and his unforgettable characters say a lot about the way things are and about how to live life effectively. You never feel you are being lectured, however. The characters, not the teachings, take the front seat. That makes Pass the Jelly an important contribution to the spirituality genre. Profound spiritual teachings are rarely this easy and this much fun to get, understand, remember, and apply. The one topic Gary never talks about is the one thing this book is all about: love. You feel it on every page, in every paragraph. I loved this book. --Jerry Katz, editor of One: Essential Readings on Nonduality Product Description Engaging and fast paced, Pass the Jelly will have you laughing through a wild ride filled with unforgettable characters. Poignant and often hysterical memories from the author's 1970s New England childhood combine with outrageous present day interactions in an irreverent, charming journey as the author relates the insights he gathers along the way. The reader is challenged and entertained by a philosophy of life that is a welcome contrast to today's conventional wisdom. Genuine and heartfelt, the stories will stick with you long after you finish the book. Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

Synopsis:
Book Description Whether you meet Karl Renz in person or through this book, the encounter will leave you with a radically different sense of yourself. Karl's unique ability lies in exposing the beliefs we've built our lives on, beginning with our root sense of individuality. Our current predicament is the result of believing ourselves to be something other than what we really are. This self-imposed limitation causes our incessant searching and suffering. Throughout these dialogues Karl unceasingly brings us back to the truth of our real nature by helping us recognize the fleeting and impermanent nature of the self we've come to believe in. Even momentarily seeing the truth of who we really are immediately frees us, if only temporarily, from these self-imposed limitations. Karl's purpose-if we can say he even has one-is to reflect our own divinity, which he skillfully and uncompromisingly expresses throughout the pages of this book. By realizing the implication of his words, we can live life to its fullest and experience the boundless freedom that is our essence. Editorial Reviews About the Author Karl Renz is originally from the lower Saxony area of Germany. He studied agriculture before focusing on art and music. Toward the end of the 1970s, Karl had a profound shift in consciousness that awakened him to the realization of immortality and dissolved the concept of a separate self. Since the 1990s, he has responded to numerous invitations to hold dialogues and meetings throughout the world. Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description "Probably you believe you are a person reading these very words right now. Maybe you also see yourself as a spiritual seeker. You've been to sacred places, followed yoga or meditation, maybe you've been involved in a group of seekers with similar interests. Probably you've invested a lot in this search for the ultimate truth. Maybe you feel you have been close to finding your true nature, and still ... something is lacking. What if this search leads you nowhere because the seeker who wants to achieve "it" is itself a concept? Have you ever investigated the existence of the investigator you believe you are? The seeker you believe yourself to be will not like this book. Seekers do not want to learn that that their search for enlightenment is just a game of their ego. They don't like to see that their spiritual enquiry is endless and that their goal of finding their "true nature" is a myth." Jan Kersschot graduated in medicine from Antwerp University, Belgium. His lifelong quest for the ultimate truth was characterised by his interest in a wisdom which does not exclude anything or anyone. Blending the core of Eastern wisdom with a contemporary Western lifestyle, Jan shows in this collection of extraordinary dialogues how the popular myths about self inquiry and enlightenment can be unmasked. He is the author of the books, Coming Home, Nobody Home and This Is It. Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

This is Always Enough Author: John Astin Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Non-Duality Press ISBN: 978-0-9553999-5-4 Format: Paperback Pages: 140 List Price: £8.50 Extract Link |
Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description This Is Always Enough is an invitation, an invitation to abandon, even for one instant, all teachers and teachings, to let go of all spiritual injunctions and practices and simply meet what appears in each moment with no guidance, no maps, no reference points to tell us what is true or how we must live. In this book, John invites the reader to inquire, "What is this moment, this life like when I cease to locate myself in or identify with any conceptual framework, philosophy or religion - not Buddha's, not Jesus', not anyone's? What is it like to live with no fixed conclusions or ideas, to cease to refer to any notion in the mind about who I am or how this moment is to be lived?" In this beautiful book of simple, Zen-like poems, essays, and aphorisms, John relentlessly points the reader back to the reality that while we seek God, there is really no escaping God for there is only God, only Truth, only Life, appearing as everything that is seen, everything that is touched, everything that is heard. While we search for "something else," some other moment or experience that will make us happy, this book reminds us that there can be no other moment, that this is all there is, all there can ever be. And when we stop looking elsewhere for the miracle, the miracle will be revealed to be everything. It will be seen, right now, that the happiness and freedom that was sought was never somewhere else but always right here, as this - this experience, this state of mind, this very moment. Every breath, every sensation, the clarity, the confusion, the seeking, and the end of seeking, all of them God, all of them the Truth, all of them enough... About the Author This is John's second collection of poetic and prose reflections on the non-dual nature of reality, his first being Too Intimate for Words, released in 2005. Along with his writing, John is also a singer, songwriter and recording artist who since 1987 has produced six CDs of original spiritual/contemplative music including his most recent release, Already Shining. In addition to his music, writing, and teaching work, John holds a PhD in psychology and is an internationally known researcher in the field of mind-body medicine, where his research focuses on the applications of meditation and contemplative practices in psychology and health care.

This is Unimaginable and Unavoidable Author: Guy Smith Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Non-Duality Press ISBN: 0954779258 Format: Paperback Pages: 284 List Price: £17.95 Review Link |
Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews Product Description This is Unimaginable and Unavoidable (subtitle) Irresponsible Writings on Non-Duality By Guy Smith Foreword by Tony Parsons This first book by Guy Smith addresses the appearance of separation from first-hand experience in an original series of prose, verse and 'notices'. Challenging and original, it constitutes a blast of freedom written in the period six months after awakening. Guy Smith is 24 years old and lives in Bristol. "I love this book! It is passionate, uncompromising, irreverent, intimately openhanded and wonderfully without any sense of order or progression. Throughout the whole work there is very little that the cunning guru mind can get hold of and turn into a belief system. There is a powerful invitation within these outpourings which seems to harbour and generate a feeling of the sensuous, the impersonal, the unbounded mystery that lies beyond the words. This is not a book to wade through steadily, but rather a deep pool in which to dip one's foot . . . and maybe fall in. There is a proliferation of so-called Advaita/Non-dual literature available today, and virtually all of it is borne out of a fundamental misconception about the nature of being. However, during the last decade some rare, clear voices have emerged out of the mist, and Guy's work is surely an inspiring and unique confirmation of this wonderful message."

Life Without a Centre Author: Jeff Foster Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Non-Duality Press ISBN: 978-0-9553999-0-9 Format: Paperback Pages: 164 List Price: £8.00 Extract Link Review Link |
Synopsis:
Book Description We try to escape from the play of life and the suffering that being "a person in the world" entails. Our efforts to find spiritual enlightenment have the opposite effect and reinforce an underlying feeling of lack, of separation. In Life Without a Centre, Jeff Foster suggests that there is only ever the present appearance of life, with no individual at its core who could ever escape even if they wanted to. The entire spiritual search is nothing more than a game we play with ourselves, the cosmic entertainment. Jeff cuts through the confusion and frustration surrounding the search for escape through spiritual enlightenment, by pointing to the utterly obvious: This moment, and everything that arises in it, is already the liberation that is sought. Life, just as it is, is already what we've been searching for our entire lives. Jeff Foster graduated in astrophysics from Cambridge University. Soon after graduation, life events propelled him onto an intense two-year spiritual search, culminating in the realisation that there was never anything to find in the first place. He currently writes and talks on what some people have called "non-duality", but which he just refers to as "the utterly, utterly obvious". Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

The Open Secret Author: Tony Parsons Editor/Commentator: Publisher: The Connections ISBN: 978-0-9533032-0-5 Format: Paperback Pages: 50 List Price: £6.00 |
Synopsis:
Book Description Throughout my early life I felt that there was another possibility which, once realised, would transform all and everything. One day that possibility became a reality, and it was simple and ordinary, magnificent and revolutionary. It is the open secret that reveals itself in every part of our lives. But realisation does not emerge through our attempts to change our lives, it comes as a direct rediscovery of who it is that lives. "The Open Secret" is a singular and radical work which speaks of the fundamental liberation that is absolutely beyond effort, path, process or belief.

The Absence of a Tendency of Avoidance Author: Karl Renz Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Stillness Speaks.com ISBN: 805238858429 Format: DVD Pages: 0 List Price: $20.00 |
Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews "Enlightenment is the spontaneous cognition to be prior to 'Nothing at All.' Entirely unprepared, in spite of and not because of the search for cognition at all. It is the revelation of The Eternal Now. The absence of the 'me' and thus, the absence of all concepts, of separation or union, birth and death, God and world, coming and going. The ABSOLUTE is aware of itself and is thus that which is. Pure self cognition, in cognizing that all that is cognizable is false. The absolute death of time and of all which is seemingly in time." Karl Renz I first met Karl Renz travelling through India. His "teaching" style was unique: piercing, uncompromising, spontaneous, humorous and koan-like, much like lightning striking the mind. His directness while teaching is intimidating; as I got to know him, I was surprised to discover a gentle, deeply friendly man, whose company I now cherish. Karl is not afraid to shock and his comments, in fact, may be designed to shake you free from logic altogether. The mind is simply not invited to this party, but in openness, if you are willing to deeply listen to this message you will discover great wisdom born of first-hand experience. As I conducted this interview and, later, as I edited the project, each review of the content revealed deeper revelations until its full bouquet engulfed me. Each time I encountered an answer that did not "make sense," I was initially tempted to pass over it. The treasure only revealed itself when I repeatedly returned to those mysterious comments and allowed them to unfold their hidden meaning.Watch and carefully listen to this dialogue, as each time there was something I did not understand, I was tempted to pass over it. The treasure revealed itself only when I repeatedly returned to those mysterious comments and contemplated them. I hope you enjoy this remarkable journey with Karl Renz.

No Walls Remain Author: Kenny Johnson Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Stillness Speaks.com ISBN: Format: DVD Pages: 0 List Price: $20.00 |
Synopsis:
Editorial Reviews No Walls Remain: The Story of Kenny Johnson "I had to find a power that would not only get me through my current sentence, but would free me from prison forever." - Kenny Johnson. Kenny Johnson was no part time criminal -- he devoted his entire life to crime, beginning in his early teens. Imprisoned for over 20 years, Kenny's career was relentless mixture of theft, bank fraud, pimping and hustling. It was an endless downward spiral. Each time he was released, Kenny quickly returned to prison, with new charges and difficulties. Doing time, Kenny developed a frantic search for the end of his despair, scouring the world's great religions and seeking guidance through substance abuse groups. Nothing seemed to work. His relentless desperation left him no peace or escape. Finally collapsing into a "dark night of the soul," Kenny carefully designed a plan to kill himself, accumulating psychiatric medicines and tranquilizers designed to end his life. Perhaps, this sense of complete hopeless despair was exactly the fodder that Grace needed. It brought Kenny to that final place: that place of complete surrender. In such silent moments, it is possible to hear Stillness Speak, to experience that "ever present Grace which...supports me in each moment now." Kenny met Gangaji, the world famous non dual teacher, whose prison outreach program dropped Kenny into the Sea of Silence that changed his life forever. In this interview, Kenny and I share his entire life story, from his childhood days through his long and varied life of crime, the good times and bad.

Paradise Found: Recognizing and Living AS the Infinite Love That You Are Author: Charlie Hayes Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Nonduality Expressions ISBN: 978-0-9766619-4-8 Format: Paperback Pages: 256 List Price: $16.95 Review Link |
Synopsis:
Book Description From the Foreword by Stephen Wingate (Author of "The Outrageous Myths Of Enlightenment" and other books and CDs): "With the power and force of a sledge-hammer, Charlie's words strike to the core of the mind destroying all false images and beliefs. His intensity is palpable. Having all misconceptions crushed, the reader has no way out and is left in their natural state of peace and well-being." This Timeless Expression is about ending the search for "Spiritual Enlightenment" - Here and Now! The fifth book by Nonduality Expressions author Charlie Hayes, this one offers a simple, easy to use, yet very powerful set of pointers that can bring an immediate end to all seeking for happiness, wholeness or enlightenment ... RIGHT NOW. And so, "Spiritual Enlightenment" and "Liberation" is seen to have already always been yours, once and for good. This is the ultimate Nondual Seeing that belongs to no one - and every one. Hayes, a former student of Baba Muktananda, 'Sailor' Bob Adamson", and John Wheeler, is an expression in the "lineage" of the revered Advaita Guru Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. He offers a sharing (not a "teaching") of direct and immediate effortless Paradise Found, as the false is revealed to be false and the Timeless Eternal State is uncovered once and for good. "Paradise" is discovered to be, quite simply, the Eternal Home you never really left. As the search ends, everything that appears before you is recognized as your own Lovable Being ... finally, it's clear ... there is only The One and You Are That! And so, The Search that never started Ends - just Here, just Now. Author of "I Am Life Itself" Unmani Hyde says, "Charlie is so good at pointing out that the mind can never 'get this', even though it continues to try, again and again! This is a book that you can dip in and out of as you feel, each time being redirected back to who you really are - Life itself." Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

Everyday Enlightenment: Seven Stories of Awakening Author: Sally Bongers Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Non-Duality Press ISBN: 978-0-9558290-3-1 Format: Paperback Pages: 128 List Price: $11.01 Review Link |
Synopsis:
Book Description Sally Bongers, the distinguished Australian cinematographer, compiled these interviews whilst researching subjects for a documentary film on Enlightenment. Initially she sought out established spiritual teachers, but her emphasis changed to interviewing ordinary people who had experienced a shift of perception which, in the Eastern tradition, would be called Enlightenment or Liberation. She found men and women who still live their lives much as they had done before the realisation, working and living in the everyday world. Seven of their stories were chosen for this book. Hearing these people talk about living with this understanding in the real world (not in an ice-cave somewhere!) confirmed the closeness of it all. These stories make it clear that Enlightenment can 'happen' to anyone, regardless of so-called spiritual qualifications. Buy from Amazon US Buy from Amazon UK |

The Outrageous Myths of Enlightenment Author: Stephen Wingate Editor/Commentator: Publisher: Atma Publishing ISBN: 978-0-9787254-0-2 Format: Hardcover Pages: 0 List Price: $0.00 Extract Link |
Synopsis:
Book Description What are Self-Realization, Awakening, Liberation, and Enlightenment? You are the One Self, Awareness Itself. Stop for a moment right now, and notice this presence of awareness that you are - here and now. Notice that you are spacious, open, awake and free. Notice that these words are arising in this spacious openness that you are. Notice that the activities of the mind - thoughts, emotions, sensations and experiences - all arise naturally and spontaneously in you, this spacious, open presence of awareness. This peaceful, loving, spacious openness is what you are. This spacious openness is the Self, the Liberation, the Awakening, the Enlightenment, the Peace and the Love for which you've been seeking. You have always been, and always will be simply THIS. Stephen Wingate from the Introduction Editorial Reviews Review Stephen Wingate has a wonderful gift of sharing his insights, which are based on his own clear and solid experience. His words carry the fragrance of peace and clarity to which they point. The writings and dialogues in this book will undermine any residual doubts, questions and caveats raised by the mind and leave you in your natural state of joyful awareness. --John Wheeler, author of Awakening to the Natural State About the Author With Zen-like boldness and clarity, Stephen Wingate points to our Natural State of awareness as the resolution to all spiritual seeking. He communicates the message of non-duality which is the essential revelation of mystics and the ancient spiritual traditions especially Advaita and Zen. Stephen is the author of the book, Dogs, Cats and Dreams of Spiritual Awakening, which is a series of live dialogues that are vibrant and alive, and cut like a razor to the core of one's being.
