Fred’s Four Ignoble Truths We make stuff up. We believe what we just made up. We suffer because we believe what we just made up. We come to spirituality to try to overcome the suffering we’re experiencing, because we believe what we just made up.
Experiences that come and go are not an experience of the permanent state. The permanent state never comes and goes, and it is not experienced at one time but not at other. ~Papaji 1910-1997
Experience leaves only memories behind and adds to the burden, which is heavy enough. You need no more experiences. The past ones are sufficient. And if you feel you need more, look into the hearts of people around you. You will find a variety of experiences that you would not be able to go through […]
Brain Games Thanks to Ian!
There is a phenomena I see pretty regularly that I call the self-reflective bubble. It’ll show up in virtually every Awakening Session, and I can typically help the client see through it. Once in a while, however, it puts its hooks down, and when it does, it becomes impossible to shatter from the outside. Here’s […]
Where are they???
As many of you know, I am a professor of philosophy at Howard Community College in Columbia, Maryland. I teach many different philosophy courses for credit in the Arts & Humanities department. I also work with many college students on their journeys to radiant awakeness as I call it. During this last semester, I had […]
VIDEO There Is Only THIS (Which Comes From THAT) PODCAST There Is Only THIS (Which Comes From THAT)
Making choices when I think I’m a separate self, an ego, is often a painful struggle. I feel I must make the right choice, the logical choice, the best choice. But that idea has been chipped away at over the years. The Course in Miracles teaches that “every expression of anger is really a call […]

I get this question all the time. So does Betsy. So I am embarrassed (so to speak), amazed and appalled that it never once occurred to me to put up a post about it. I’ll immediately put a link to this post on the Meetings page so that I can easily refer newcomers to it. […]
I just got this comment from Barbara H on YouTube. She had asked me a question earlier in the week, which I replied to, but which I did not directly answer, because I knew it would be detrimental for her. The 15 pages she’s referring to at the end of The Book of Undoing are […]
Going Back to Source
1st Letter Dear Fred, Thank you so much for the most wonderful 90 minutes yesterday. Not only was it incredibly enlightening, it was so much fun. If I had sides, they would have burst from laughing. I had always dreaded my autopsy, but it turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable. I have so much […]
This month I have been practicing fearlessness. I am not practicing courage, which is the willingness and strength to face fears. Rather, I aim to eradicate fear itself, so that the virtues of strength, fortitude and courage are not needed. I needn’t be armed for battle. I can simply abide in peace. I remind myself […]
BEYOND RECOVERY VIDEO SERIES
“I loved the sense of being at home with fellow addicts. We rarely spoke of our addiction to substances, past or present, but I felt that our experience with this struggle, and especially Fred’s, gave us a focus and sense of purpose, as we explored the practical implications of awakening and abiding in True Nature.” […]
Wendi Saggese is a life coach and friend, whom I met through session work. The odds of our meeting this year were 100% – we couldn’t not meet. And of course it was just in time. Wendi is not so different from you and me. She is labeled “terminally ill,” while most of the rest […]
