Over the Memorial Day weekend Betsy and I replanted the hanging baskets on our porch for the summer season. We were a month later than usual doing it because I was caught up finishing the Awaken Now audio book. It was a comfort to know we’d be doing it at just the right time whenever we […]
Dialectic was the weapon of choice for my favorite Western philosopher, Socrates. While he did not invent it, he certainly popularized it, and thus it is widely known as “the Socratic method.” In short, it is a method of critical dialoguing, where the emphasis is placed on the skillful use of probing questions in order to discover objective […]
Because, my dear Oneness, it’s the second-most powerful thing you can do to foster the waking, clearing, abidance, and embodiment of Conscious Awakeness in a given relative location.
All men by nature desire to know. An indication of this is the delight we take in our senses; for even apart from their usefulness they are loved for themselves; and above all others the sense of sight. For not only with a view to action, but even when we are not going to do […]
Is There a Difference Between “I Am” and Absolute Truth?
I was discussing the Great Okayness of post-awakening with an awakened student today. Toward the end of our discussion, I said loudly, “The house is on fire!” She said, “I’ll have a glass of iced tea.” This is the Great Okayness. This is Zen. ~F
With rare exception, following a slight, but profound reset, those who come here in search of the truth find it. Those who come here in search of proof of the truth, in the absence of a major shift, will find neither truth nor proof. That which comes here in search of the truth is itself Truth. What can […]
Fred & Friends, 2-Hour Satsang, 5.22.16
Let me share some experiences in post-awakening with you that might prove helpful someday. Ten years ago, when I had the first sustained awakening through the Fred unit, I saw with absolute clarity and surety that there was only One Thing Going On, that it was alive-ing, infinite, eternal, and for lack of a better […]
A friend of mine sent this to me this morning, and I just LOVED his take on it! Hi Fred, I watched your latest YouTube video, which was a great follow-on to our chat a couple of days ago. I also noticed that the other videos on offer next to yours included one called […]
This arrived a couple of days ago from a new friend of mine, Kenton. We had an initial Awakening Dialogue, but there was already a whole lot of Conscious Awakeness present. There was just one little barrier in the way of a clearer understanding. I helped him see through that, and we’ve been in touch […]
Not too many years ago this body could have been described as “muscle tension being held together by wracked nerves.” Pretty much scorched earth. I got a massage today. When he was through, the masseuse looked at me and laughed. “Insofar as tension goes,” Rob told me, “you have none. There is simply no tension in […]

I discovered this through the comments section of the website this morning. I think it’ll interest many of you. Thanks, Mike! Fred Davis — Waking Up from The Truth About Enlightenment
Hi Fred, Such a pleasure talking to you today! Here is a little ditty for the website. I hope it does the trick. I honestly can’t tell if it makes sense! Seriously, I read it like 20 times. It seems unlikely that I’ll be able to join this Sunday (although I’ll try), but I have […]
Hi Fred! Just wanted to drop a note. Maybe it is because you and your books – and Adyashanti’s books, and so on – have warned me about oscillation or non-abiding awakeness, that I am where I am. I am not always “clear,” but I also never feel that “I” have lost “it”. The best […]
Fred I am sitting on a subway in NYC….and amidst all the chaos I am thinking about you with so much appreciation I could cry from joy or relief or something… Many thanks for all the help you have given me via your awakening course and the Satsangs! Michele
Here’s a link to an op-ed in the New York Times that may interest some of you. It points to a deep flaw in much of Western philosophy that I don’t typically notice in Eastern philosophy. Just because you don’t know what you don’t know doesn’t mean you can justifiably dismiss it out of hand. […]
Day One Day Two Day Three Day Four Day Five Every thing arises and falls. Every thing comes and goes. What every thing arises and falls within does not come, does not go. We cannot call it something, because it is not some thing. We cannot call it nothing, because it is. Not some thing. Not nothing. […]
