I’ve talked to several clients recently, all of whom have woken up in great clarity, who are now experiencing misidentification. I’m willing to bet the bank that most of the ones I haven’t talked to recently are also dealing with misidentification. That’s the way of it until it isn’t. We feel like we move in […]
Welcome! Thank you for joining us today. I often write about my experience with clients and students, because it’s always fresh, always relevant, and it’s what’s happening out in the field right now. After all, there’s only thing going on, so if we look closely we can always find ourselves in these so-called “others.” I […]
NOTE TO READERS There is also a 15 minute video that accompanies this post. Integrity of Intention YouTube If someone asks me, “How come I keep going back into misidentification (believing that I am the body), a couple of answers will immediately come forth, and since my “answers” usually spill out in the form […]
Hello, everybody! It’s great to be with you in our new home! For those of you who don’t yet know me, the original Awakening Clarity has been on the web since July 31, 2011. Hundreds of thousands of views later, it’s time to move onto something a bit more professional. Awakening Clarity will remain […]
Chapter 1: In the Beginning My life changed forever on November 7, 2004 when I had a grand mal seizure, totally out of the blue. For about a year prior to that I had been having what I affectionately called “revelation spells.” These were brief moments that lasted about a minute or two where […]
Here’s a link to a l-o-n-g excerpt from Peter Dziuban’s new Simply Notice. Hello, everybody! Welcome! Just a quick catch-up on the last two weeks. My business adviser, Sharon Dejarlais, was up here from Florida a week or so ago for a couple of days, and after giving the whole idea […]
Hello, everybody! There’s been quite a lot happening since my last column. ~First off, let me tell you about my trip to Asheville, North Carolina. What a hoot! The folks who live there are terrific! I was universally treated with kindness, and there was great acceptance and appreciation for this teaching. We held a three and a half […]
No one writes like Rupert Spira. The first time I ever opened the pages of The Transparency of Things I felt like someone had entered my heart and was whispering to me from it. I could feel his words, and hear them even better than I could take them in visually and process them intellectually. These […]
Welcome! If you’ve not seen the new page, Letters from Ground Zero, do check it out. It’s a series of letters addressed to me, all of them raw, gutsy, and honest, from people who’ve woken up with me. It’s a fascinating, up-close view of the freshly awakened mind. The authors have of course given their permission […]
For a close-up look at the freshly awakened state from the viewpoint of other Awakening Clarity readers, please check out the brand new Letters from Ground Zero page.] Welcome! Hello, everybody, it’s great to be with you again! For those of you in the US, happy three-day Labor Day weekend. We have a nice custom with a funny […]
Nonjudgmental Spirituality Hello, everybody! Welcome to Awakening Clarity, whether you are new to the site, or a longtime veteran. We moved past the two-year mark now, which is remarkable, not for how long it’s been, but how short a time it is to hold all that’s happened. It continues to be a rocket ride, so hold […]
I got an email from a friend of mine asking me to write a piece on mypost-awakening perceptions compared to how they used to be. It set me to pondering about how things in general used to be in comparison to how they are now. To be perfectly candid, I can’t remember a lot of what it used […]
Welcome! A quick note before we go into the new post. Thanks to all of you who’ve signed up and joined the Awakening Clarity family. Note that if you did not get an email announcing this post, then your sign-up was incomplete; the second email probably failed to get through your spam filter. Please try […]
ASK THE AWAKENED The Negative Way by Wei Wu Wei PART I The Cross-Roads Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 per cent of everything you think, And of everything you do, Is for yourself— And there isn’t one. 1 – The Harlequinade Perhaps our most serious handicap is that we start on the wrong foot. […]
CLAIMING YOUR TRUE IDENTITY AFTER AWAKENING I worked with a very charming, professorial type of guy from Australia this morning. He’s someone who’s been around a long time and knows a number of people in our community. One thing he didn’t know–at least not through direct experience–was his own true identity. I like to say of that situation […]
An Example of Claiming Your True Identity After Awakening Hello, everybody! It’s been quite a week at my house. I’ve hosted a number of Direct Pointing Sessions with people from all across the US and Australia, plus a 29 year-old young man in Bucharest, Romania. Every single one of them woke up. This […]
WELCOME! Today’s post is an excerpt from a new, long biographical article that is currently appearing in ONE: The Magazine. You’ve heard me speak of this online publication before. It’s owned and edited by Shanti Einolander, who’s been a leader in this community for quite a long time. (She’s Gangaji’s book editor and frequent travel companion, […]
Dismantling The Fantasy an invitation to the fullness of life By Darryl Bailey There are no traditions in this. It is not an attempt to convince or to convert. It is a dream questioning itself. Once upon a time, a group of friends lay on a hillside watching a cloud. They had become fascinated with […]
Sony Mervin, a writer who lives in the foothills of the Himalayas, wrote me the other day asking if I’d like to be included in his forthcoming book, The Big Book of Living Gurus: Satsang with 108 Spiritual Teachers from Around the World. I told him sure, and sent him a little package. One of the […]
THERE IS ONLY WHAT IS. Co-arising with the imagined sense of a human-exclusive identity comes an imagined sense of what isn’t. This what isn’t doesn’t actually exist, but it feels like it does. Common names for what isn’t would be my name, Fred, and your name. I experience Fredness, and since I am Nonduality itself, I am Fredness, but I don’t believe I am exclusively Fredness. I am not confused about that. When I’m […]
