Spiritual seekers today often disparage the ascetic, renunciate traditions of monastic life or cave dwelling. They contend that such a path may have been tenable in the past, but these days we have so many obligations; we are too busy with worldly affairs. Cave dwelling isn’t an option, they say ruefully, and then dismiss […]
The Living Method Glossary 7.23.18 The Absolute – All that Is and all that Isn’t. “The thing that has the sense of being is not the sense of being; you are what’s prior to consciousness; it is the sense of being and it is beyond the sense of being; it is that which cannot […]
Intention is everything. The most important prayer you can utter is, “Help me to see!” I remember Jesus advocating this in A Course in Miracles. It stuck, and has been a constant prayer for me ever since. You cannot do this. You cannot awaken. It can only awaken to Itself. Personally, I am thankful this […]

Indra’s Net Thanks to Kathleen!
Fred’s Four Ignoble Truths We make stuff up. We believe what we just made up. We suffer because we believe what we just made up. We come to spirituality to try to overcome the suffering we’re experiencing, because we believe what we just made up.
Experiences that come and go are not an experience of the permanent state. The permanent state never comes and goes, and it is not experienced at one time but not at other. ~Papaji 1910-1997
Experience leaves only memories behind and adds to the burden, which is heavy enough. You need no more experiences. The past ones are sufficient. And if you feel you need more, look into the hearts of people around you. You will find a variety of experiences that you would not be able to go through […]
Brain Games Thanks to Ian!
There is a phenomena I see pretty regularly that I call the self-reflective bubble. It’ll show up in virtually every Awakening Session, and I can typically help the client see through it. Once in a while, however, it puts its hooks down, and when it does, it becomes impossible to shatter from the outside. Here’s […]
Where are they???
As many of you know, I am a professor of philosophy at Howard Community College in Columbia, Maryland. I teach many different philosophy courses for credit in the Arts & Humanities department. I also work with many college students on their journeys to radiant awakeness as I call it. During this last semester, I had […]
REINTRODUCTION I posted this video about 18 months ago and got a lot of positive mail on it. I still do. I’m reposting it because the readership of Awakening Clarity Now, which has always been a busy website, has more than doubled in just the last two or three months, and shows no sign of slowing […]
VIDEO There Is Only THIS (Which Comes From THAT) PODCAST There Is Only THIS (Which Comes From THAT)
Making choices when I think I’m a separate self, an ego, is often a painful struggle. I feel I must make the right choice, the logical choice, the best choice. But that idea has been chipped away at over the years. The Course in Miracles teaches that “every expression of anger is really a call […]
Update! ~Teacher-to-Teacher Sessions~ Are you presently a student of this teaching? Would you like to learn how to facilitate awakening using The Living Method? Write for rates, qualifications, and availability. fredsdavis@gmail.com
I get this question all the time. So does Betsy. So I am embarrassed (so to speak), amazed and appalled that it never once occurred to me to put up a post about it. I’ll immediately put a link to this post on the Meetings page so that I can easily refer newcomers to it. […]
I just got this comment from Barbara H on YouTube. She had asked me a question earlier in the week, which I replied to, but which I did not directly answer, because I knew it would be detrimental for her. The 15 pages she’s referring to at the end of The Book of Undoing are […]
