Betsy was scheduled for some minor wrist surgery today in the outpatient clinic run by our orthopedic group. It’s a very good practice, and Betsy had more serious surgery done at this same clinic about 18 months ago, without incident. Although that too was an out-patient, arthroscopic procedure, it was more like full-blown surgery, where you’re knocked […]

Thanks, Betty!

My primary motivation in writing Awaken NOW was to make sure that the amazing teaching that’s arrived here outlives me. The Living Method of Spiritual Awakening was first consciously seen and described while I was writing Beyond Recovery. That book contains the philosophical foundation upon which everything else has been built. It is the root. […]

  I had to get up and leave my boys. Dickens was on the table, Jack (who has a head, but no face that we can find) was in the chair beside me, and Willy was lying on my foot. It’s pretty hard to leave such a warm little nest of love. By the way, […]

My friend Thomas Pratt sent this in. Thanks Tom!

Many of you already know my dear and brightly lit student, Julee, who lives in England. From time to time she sends me something that is fresh and sharp, and I share it with you. Such is the case here.  Fred: Some pure logic that occurred to me this morning. This is a dream. The […]

Just because there’s no doer doesn’t mean you don’t do anything. Living the Dream through Nondual Eyes

I listen to a lot of audio. I find it’s a good and easy way for me to focus on What’s Important while I’m doing what looks important! The Book of Undoing, which has sold many thousands of copies, has woken up people all over the world. It’s also a great clearing tool for those […]

  Human beings live in fear of old age, sickness and death, although we are loathe to acknowledge it. Siddhartha Gautama’s belated introduction to these realities is what initially drove his highly committed spiritual seeking, which would eventually lead to his becoming the epitome of an awakened being—the Buddha. The first thing we want to note […]

Thanks to all of you Down Under who helped put Awaken NOW on the Australian Bestseller List in Eastern Philosophy!

  Hi Fred.  Both Sussie and I can feel all kinds of stuff going on during, and not least following the satsangs. Not anything we can describe with words, so here goes! A growing depth of understanding/knowing about all kinds of things. I suddenly get an insight about something or other from the Bible (no, […]

Clearing up, whether in pre- or post-awakening, works sort of like a rubber band. Consciousness expands to a given limit, and then automatically contracts back into the shape of known, comfortable conditioning. But the further and more frequently that it is stretched, the easier it is to (apparently) pull it back into expansion. At some […]

Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first it is ridiculed, in the second it is opposed, in the third it is regarded as self-evident. ~Arthur Schopenhauer German Philosopher, 1788-1860  

Julee is not a stranger to these pages. She and Kathleen, both avid students, regularly send radiant emails. Here’s the latest. Fred: Although there were no pressing issues arising in yesterday’s chat – I find myself humming with happiness for no reason. This Truth Realisation thing (Un-Truth, UNrealisation, per Jed McKenna’s insistence – he’s probably more […]

Isaac Bashevis Singer won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1978. He is telling us the truth here. What is actually born upon the apparent birth of a human being is a sense of individuality. There is never any genuine separation. The illusion of separation comes as part of the sentience package. Animals have it, […]

Kathleen in Iowa, who is friend, student, and frequent contributor of comments and insights to both this website and YouTube, wrote a beautiful review on Amazon for Awaken NOW, and so I dropped her a thank you note. Here’s what I got back. [Dear Fred] You’re welcome.  And thank you of course for writing the book.  […]
