Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“The Source nor the Universe have come to tell you that they have created you. The mind, obsessed by the idea of causality, invents creation and then wonders, “Who is the creator?” The mind itself is the Creator. Even this is not true, for the created and its creator are one. The mind and the world are not separate. Understand that what you think to be the world is your own mind. All space and …

Dream of Opposites

Our human brains are amazing in the ability to name, claim, and label appearances and to compare one appearance to another.  We are convinced we are separate beings in a tangible world of eight billion other separate beings. In Truth, absolute Truth, not relative truth, there is only edgeless, empty, awareness appearing as this and that. This realization, this awakening, shocks the human perception and brain and plunges the long-held belief of being and existing …

Update on Saturday Satangs

All Saturday Satsangs are cancelled for 2021.  We will update this site in January about our gatherings for 2022.   Our self-inquiry gatherings are for ardent seekers of Truth.  We discuss and explore the nature of what is self-evident, here, now.  We expose and grok the illusory nature and appearance of the personal self and rest in the spaciousness of aware presence, just this, here, now. Many of us are searching for relief from the weight …

Eternity – Joseph Campbell

“Eternity isn’t some later time.  Eternity isn’t a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it.  And if you don’t get it here, you won’t get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.”  Joseph Campbell   According to Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, time is just another dimension …

Suzanne Segal

Suzanne Segal (1955–1997) was a writer and teacher about spiritual enlightenment, known for her sudden experience of self-realization which she wrote about in her book Collision With the Infinite: A Life Beyond the Personal Self. Two years after her shift into a “sense of unity,” Segal relapsed into the uncomfortable state of constant anxiety she had first experienced. At this point she returned to exploring psychological themes from her childhood which included recovered memories of abuse and persistent migraines. …

What is a Human?

A personal identity accumulates slowly, influenced by family, culture, religion, and societal norms and begins to gel as young children. Most of us are taught to be separate by family, society, educators, and the traditions of using a dualistic language. Society and religions continually reinforce we are separate from each other. Nearly 95% of humans on planet believe they are separate beings.  Since 2012, the numbers of the awakened have increased as technology makes the …
