Fred woke me up a few years ago. Had I been dreaming peacefully, I would have been annoyed. But as it was, I was very glad to awaken from the fitful, troubled sleep I was having. Fred said, “Wake up. You’re having a nightmare!” Thank you, Fred. I’ve nodded off routinely since that initial awakening, […]

These are really moving songs beautifully performed by our friend, Terry Oldfield, and his friend, Carlos Garo, in Madrid. Enjoy! “On Fire” “No Resistance” “The Writing Is On the Wall”
As I’m sure you saw, he did it AGAIN!! He tore up another leather book. I can hardly believe it. My beautiful wall of leather cannot stand, thanks to that dog. I pulled up the spendy Greek stuff that was down low and put it on the dining room table. I’m going to have to […]
Hi Fred – I wanted to send you my regards. Thank you so much for the satsang on 11/19 (I’m a little behind). It included Joel, Andrew, Vince, and Amber. I loved her “Friends” story — how she absurdly watched the TV show “Friends” because a therapist said she needed to learn how to experience emotion. I heard her saying that on […]
Are you a finger (body/mind), or are you the hand (oneness)? Why not both? Do distinctions have any inherent reality to them beyond just perspective? Thanks to Lucas!
This is from the first complete work attributed to Ibn ‘Arabi to appear in a western language, although many scholars now attribute it to Balyani, a near contemporary, who may well have been influenced by his thought. No one sees Him except Himself, no one reaches Him except Himself. He knows Himself through Himself and […]
Dearest Fred, I’ve wanted to write and listen more, but I haven’t lately. Everything we have done so far has touched me deeply over the last few weeks or Unit Wendi would not be so clear. The unit was on the phone with doctors every day, and for some reason, they often didn’t give a […]
My friend Amber lives in England just a few miles away from Grantchester, if you happen to be familiar with that BBC program. It’s in the neighborhood with Cambridge University. We talked about nondual inquiry recently, and I asked her to send me questions if any should arise. They did! Some of these questions are […]
My friend Jon sent this link out to some of us today. I watched it, and I’m going to view it a second time. It’s really superb! I strongly recommend it! Reality Is a Strange Loop
Hi Fred, Thank you very much. I am very grateful for your teaching, I am very grateful for what Awakeness has done through the unit, you, Fredness. I am so glad I found you and your teaching. It was the touch of Grace, tears came to my eyes at our 1 on 1, […]
Terry Oldfield and Soraya Saraswati know who they are, and are friends of this teaching. I want to share this beautiful offering of theirs with you. http://terryoldfield.com/
The character can be neither asleep nor awake, cloudy nor clear. There is no character. We know this, but we still so often fall into regarding and speaking of ourselves as awake or not, or awake, but with varying degrees of cloudiness or clarity. As Fred often reminds us, there is only awake-ness. There is […]
This is an article that was worth my time. You might want to see if it feels like it’s worth yours. What If Consciousness Is Not What Drives The Human Mind? Thanks to Adam!
Julee posted this article in the private forum chiefly reserved for members of the Continuing Student Program. I liked it so much that I wanted it to have a broader audience. I noticed recently that I no longer had any internal feedback going on about feeling ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Wonderful or uncomfortable. There is just […]
David Cassidy’s daughter has reported that the former pop stars last words were, “So much wasted time.”
Thanksgiving is sweeter than bounty itself. One who cherishes gratitude does not cling to the gift! Thanksgiving is the true meat of God’s bounty; the bounty is its shell, For thanksgiving carries you to the hearth of the Beloved. Abundance alone brings heedlessness, thanksgiving gives birth to alertness… The bounty of thanksgiving will satisfy and […]
Our friend, musician Terry Oldfield, sent this in from Madrid today. ♥
