An invitation - the direct way of clear seeing

Non-dual dialogue is emerging to address the collective need to liberate ourselves from its mental/emotional condition and discover the truth of our self, pure consciousness. It is what I AM. The person is what I do. The activity of thinking, feeling, sensing and perceiving is added to me. It is my activity, but not myself.

The human experience is a manifestation of source in motion as an integrated part of a universal celebration of life unfolding.

If I feel I AM a fragment lost in a hostile world, then life is a tragedy. But if I know to be the totality in which this body and the world appear, it is different. It's an adventure.

I offer dialogue and meditations to individuals and groups into a deeper experiential enquiry of the transpersonal principles and practices of the non-dual perspective. It liberates our belief in a separate self and its subsequent suffering in the world - a pressing imperative of our time.

I also work with therapists and counsellors in an interdisciplinary approach to supplement their practice, and offer sessions as a complimentary contribution to any professional or personal venture with whom this resonates.

An invitation to self-inquiry.
Its approach is non conventional in the sense we don't address the one that says, 'I suffer' but rather we investigate the validity of that separate self which is the source of all psychological suffering.

By discovering its non-existence we can allow for this contraction in the body and fixed mind patterns to be released, and sink back into source. 

What is the reality of the real me?
Discovering the unchanging self in all experiences.
We come to recognise that the one that we all call 'I' is not the body-mind's cluster of thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions, – the separate 'I' who became entangled and identified with them. All of these objective experiences comes and goes. But who we are is this ever-present unchanging I in the background so to speak of all experience; the one that is aware of our feelings, and knows our thoughts but it doesn't get mixed-up with its qualities of agitation or suffering.

The ever-present foundation of our being.
Before you know anything about yourself, you know that ‘I am’. In other words, the knowledge ‘I am’, or the awareness of being is your primary experience of yourself. Everything else you know about yourself is added to or a temporary modulation of this fundamental ever-present, unchanging being. This transparent, luminous substance of our aware-being cannot be hurt, stained or modified by any objective experience. It is our real self, the principle perceiver of the body, the mind and the world.

Hence, as the witnessing background of all experience I am inherently free from all things; as the substance of all experience I am intimately one with all things. All suffering ends in the realisation of this non-separation. We reclaim our innate freedom.

Thus the greatest discovery in life is that our essential nature does not share the limits or the destiny of the body and mind. 

The body-mind's activities of thoughts and feelings have preferences, make choices, like and dislike, seek and resist, praise and blame, hope and despair, judge and condemn but our self, that which knows them or is aware does not share their prejudices. It is not a personal consciousness but a universal consciousness which looks on everyone and everything alike, just as the sun shines on all objects equally. In the Hindu expression; Shiva dances in ignorance but also in liberation.

When contemplated in the profound neutrality of our aware-being, these habits die one by one. Over time we deconstruct the mind from it old habitual thought processes that no longer serves us, freeing ourselves from it criticism and judgements.

It liberates us from the demands of the imaginary separate self, allows for it to dissolve and makes way to recognise our true nature of inherently peaceful, unconditionally fulfilled being. The peace and happiness we previously seek through the acquisition of objects, substances, activities and relationships, we now find at the core of our self-aware being.

This clear seeing brings an acute embodied awareness to everyday life which reinterprets and reveals the richness, vivacity and complexity of it, free from habitual conditioning and debilitating believes. It's a grounding and integrating process where we become more conscious and attuned to our true nature and how our aware presence influences our environment and relationship with everyone and everything. It is as if a weight falls off and something breaks open in us; - the lightness of our being.

As a result it brings a renewed vision and purpose to our personal and professional engagements and its subsequent alignment with this new understanding.

If this resonates with you in any way, I invite you to embark on an inquiry of self-discovery; - this unbound nature of awareness beyond dualistic thinking and feeling, and establish an unshakeable presence in everyday life.

As my teachers over fifteen years much of my approach derives from Francis Lucille and Rupert Spira – an integrative and transformative process that will unfold through engaged dialogue. We explore through meditation, sensing, observing, unveiling, awakening and coming home to simply being.
