Good Morning Fred! Thank You! Looking forward to it [our next appointment]. I totally enjoyed the new video on how to be a better student. I am always not sure whether I am talking too much and flooding your mailbox. I decided you will stop me if I do. Wanted to share this. I keep […]
VIDEO How to Be an Effective Spiritual Student PODCASTHow to Be an Effective Spiritual Student
I wrote this post several years ago, I think on the original Awakening Clarity blog. Betsy’s mother (who is a very young 90) read it, and put up a new comment about it today, which brought it back to my attention. After looking it over I decided it was worth a rerun. Thanks for the faith, Betty; […]
This was painted by my friend and student, Bob Turano, who lives in Los Angeles. He’s an awakened being, and I can certainly feel that in this work. There are lots of ways to experience truth, and visual art is a key one. (Beautiful, Bob. Thanks for letting me run this.)
Fred: Blown away by our meeting yesterday. My take on things – its like weight lifting or marathon training of sorts. A slow introduction to bigger experiences in a non-scary way so as to not frighten the Ego too much. And to not overstretch slack muscles that need training. Waking up is the initial recognition of […]
Many, many thanks to Hannah for transcribing this satsang riff, which is not fun work. (I did the slightest tad of editing to make it easier to follow.) Yesterday when I was without power, it was a beautiful, beautiful morning. I woke up really early in the morning. Betsy was already gone over to her […]

My friend and student Joyce in Arizona sent this to me the other day. It points to the misidentification Awakeness is experiencing through virtually all units, when it thinks it is a unit. LOL It’s a pretty good match-up with the video, Discovering Your UN-True Nature
Thank you! to Hannah Zaiv for this transcription and to John Ames for his formatting guidelines. Fred: (we’ll be transcribing these) Nisargadatta never wrote a word as far as I know. Everything was written from his talks. This talking happens very fast and writing happens very slow. We’re not going to use names, it will […]

Thanks to all of you everywhere who’ve sent or directly given me unbirthday wishes on this fine, pre-hurricane day, a day on which I turned a whopping 64. Betsy and I had dinner with her mother (Betty, who’s 90!) and her father (Chet, who’s 97!) and two of her brothers. I was in high-entertainer mode, […]
The Truth about the Truth
Betsy and I have spent a great deal of time and effort, and more than a little money, upgrading the World inFamous Micro-Studio with more and better equipment and furnishings. Our relationship with the thousands of seekers and finders who utilize my website, videos, podcasts, books, courses, satsangs and sessions is an oddly intimate one, given that our […]
Chris Warnock is a lawyer in Iowa who woke up with me about two and a half years ago. He’s been with me ever since, riding the roller coaster of early post-awakening that is known as oscillation, i.e., clear then cloudy; clear again, cloudy again. He’s now stabilized and speaks from the space of Conscious […]
Asking Ourselves the Right Questions This video was cut when I was having some production difficulties, so the quality of the cut is low, but I feel the message is good and clear enough to offset that.

The session was great, I’ve felt pretty different since then. The part about awakeness looking at/ experiencing awakeness (which I’ve heard here and there for years probably) finally sunk in, whenever attention starts to drift all I have to remember is that piece and I can pretty much get right back there. Also something different is that […]
Here’s a link to a really short, interesting article. I’ve been reporting on this for over three years–ever since I woke up a Yale neuroscientist. She first told me about what is known as epiphenomenalism. Brain Scan Findings Supporting Epiphenominalist View (Thanks Mike!)
