"Atoms and mountains and oceans and light, all arising, dissolving, arising again. The dance of form which is really the dance of emptiness; a dance which is the beginning and end of all things. In each moment there is creation and destruction, in each moment a ne Kosmos arises and dissolves, leaving no trace. And this continues endlessly, without beginning, without end."

Nathan Gill

Intellectual understanding is "the beginning of the end of the whole seeking drama. It is a further small step to add, 'So therefore I must also be that'."

Roger Linden

Roger Linden teaches in London and Southern England. The site contains a short essay, a biography and a diary of meetings.

"Actually it is consciousness that is mislabeled as ‘me’, for the idea ‘me’ appears in consciousness along with all else that is known and from which there appears to be a sense of separation. Consciousness is the knower (me), whatever is known and the process of knowing (seeing, feeling, thinking, etc.)."

 

Mooji - born in Jamaica and currently living and teaching in Brixton, London, Mooji was a disciple of Sri Poonja. In addition to a brief biography and gallery, there are numerous dialogues and details of his satsangs and retreats in Ireland.
" Water has no shape, its nature is to flow. If you put it into a vase it will take the shape of the vase. In this cup, it has assumed the shape of the cup. If poured into my cupped hands it will take the shape of the hands. But water has no shape. It is the same with the consciousness, which is subtler than water. It similarly has no form, but it assumes the form of whatever concept it is poured into or identifies with, but it will never be the form. It remains ever its formless nature. "

Mooji

 

Tony Parsons

Tony Parsons - There are extracts from his books and meetings, including several in audio. Also, details of talks (around the UK and in Amsterdam, Munich and Paris) and retreats in Wales.
"No one concept or set of concepts can express enlightenment. To attempt to share through words the rediscovery and wonder of who we are is as futile a process as writing a recipe for plum pudding and expecting someone reading it to be able to taste it."

His book, 'As It Is' is in the list of recommended books.

Richard Sylvester - influenced by Tony Parsons, is now teaching in the UK. The site contains an edited transcript of an interview and extracts from his forthcoming book "I Hope You Die Soon - Words About Non-duality And Liberation" which is published by Non-duality Press.

"In liberation the story continues but now it is seen that it is just a story. All the passions of your apparent life are just stuff happening. The conflicts, the loves, the struggles for control and power, the victories and defeats are simply phenomena arising in oneness and falling away again with no meaning at all."

See review of Richard's book 'I Hope You Die Soon'.

Unmani Liza Hyde

Unmani Liza Hyde - teaches radical neo-Advaita. Site contains brief extracts from her book, details of meetings in Hampstead, London and a page of links.
“Recognition of Life as it is, is recognition of what is already and has always been: not-knowing. This is what I am. Absolutely innocent not knowing. In not-knowing there is no doubt. In not-knowing there is absolute clarity. Simply the direct recognition of what is. This is what I am. I am Life itself.”
