This is just a snapshot of my morning mail from people I already know. This doesn’t count friends seeking council, readers looking for “just this one tiny tip, please,” appointment questions, or payments or confirmations. Thought it would be fun for you to see, and help others understand why I simply cannot offer that one […]
Let us be silent, so we may hear the whisper of the gods. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Philosopher (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882)
Hello!! I had a full blown awakening yesterday (actually, I thought I had “it” Saturday, then yesterday another one happened even more powerful). Both experiences happened while listening to your Deep Attention Practice: Experiential Heart Sutra. Saturday, which was the “first” event, I think my body was doing things, but I really don’t know because […]
Dear Betsy, Before I heard Fred, nondual teachings sounded a lot like this: Imagine two goldfish hiking across the Sahara Desert–one red and one blue. How much does that palm tree weigh on a rainy day? Have a great week. Sascha
I love this humility and honesty. It was written in response to an inquiry I made about this student’s present experience. ♥f Fred, Thanks for asking! The clearing process continues to unfold gradually. At this point, oneness comes to know itself as itself momentarily, here and there, everyday (with widely varying degrees of […]
Are You Just Spinning Your Wheels, or Are You Really Going Somewhere? VIDEO PODCAST
Are you resisting awakening? This may seem a strange question for an earnest seeker, one who ardently longs to know his or her true nature. But perhaps pursuing our true self only makes it that much more elusive. After all, if you are in search of your true self, what does that make you? Something […]
This body is not me. I am not limited by this body. I am life without boundaries. I have never been born, and I have never died. Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars, manifestations from my wondrous true mind. Since before time, I have been free. Birth and death are […]
Thanks to Mike
Let your inner spiritual revelation become deep enough to include the whole world of time and space. If your spiritual revelation is only big enough to go beyond the relative world but not include it, then you will continue to experience a duality and therefore a struggle with the relative world. Do not become attached […]
Received from David S. afterwards…
I lay down in the grass today. I didn’t do it because I had just mowed it, or because I’ve been good about watering it. I didn’t plan at all to do it. I was walking across it, the sun and air were the perfect warmth, and the lawn lush. And thinkings of doings didn’t […]
This is a continuing series. It will make more sense to you if read Parts 1 and 2 first. Everyone, every single one of us, no matter how sick or evil, is doing the best that we can in this moment. We cannot do other than what we are doing until we can. So I’m […]
True awakening is the freedom from the need to have any particular experience or to feel any particular way. It is the freedom to be with whatever arises here and now. It is not dependent upon a sense of expansion or unity consciousness, nor upon any level of serenity. It is a stateless state! But […]
Hi Fred, Just wanted to send a short thank you note for our session this past Friday. Very good to see and talk with you. The jewel that has stayed with me most is that question you asked, something like, ”Does “awakeness” (or “consciousness,” – not sure which word you used, please remind me if […]
This post is the second of a short series. Please read the first installment so that this one make sense to you. It’s now been five years since I began to leak out that I was waking up students in a single session. (What I always mean by this is that I simply brought Awakeness […]
We make stuff up. We believe the stuff we just made up. We suffer because we believe the stuff we just made up. We come to spirituality to try and overcome the suffering we’re having because we believe the stuff we just made up.
We speak of three ‘I’s’. There is the absolute, unmanifested, impersonal ‘I’, pure Awareness, beyond all sensory perception, aware of itself only when manifestation arises. There is the super-personal, manifested ‘I’, the conscious presence which is the reflection of the Absolute appearing as ‘I am’. And there is the individual, personal ‘I’, appearing to be […]
Thanks to Mike.
This post is the first of a short series. I’ll put out short additions as I have time. I plan to do a video on this same topic, so watch for that post as well. I have been polite long enough. Five years ago, after a few months of experimentation, I began to tell the […]
