Welcome. I’m delighted to invite you to the sixteenth edition of our Guest Teachings Series, and the eighty-fifth post on Awakening Clarity. As most of you will know, this Guest Teaching Series is sort of a “Who’s Who and What They Teach” of contemporary Nonduality. We host this without any allegiance to any particular school of […]
Welcome to another offering in our Guest Teaching Series. This is the fifteenth installment in a groundbreaking string of posts that’s caught the interest and imagination of seekers and teachers around the world. On a personal note, let me say that editing this series continues to be an extraordinary broadening process for me. It’s been […]

Welcome once again to Awakening Clarity’s Guest Teachings Series, whether this is your first visit, or you’re an old timer here. This popular series is garnering accolade from the breadth of the nondual community around the globe. Creating this Who’s Who in contemporary nonduality is a long-term project, but it’s a very exciting one. We have a […]
WELCOME to Awakening Clarity and our eleventh Guest Teaching. We continue to expand this living resource of Who’s Who in current Nonduality. The goal is to provide an easy way for you to meet respected teachers, sample their teachings, and then pursue those you resonate with via the links you find at the end of each profile. We’re open […]
WELCOME to the tenth installment of Awakening Clarity’s Guest Teaching Series. One of our goals is to build an Internet resource of Who’s Who in contemporary nonduality. Every week we bring you a new spiritual author-teacher. We give you a little background on them, a hearty sample of their work, and a bunch of helpful links to […]
WELCOME to the ninth installment of Awakening Clarity’s Guest Teaching Series. One week at a time, one Guest Teacher at a time, we’re building an Internet resource of Who’s Who in contemporary Nonduality. Every week we introduce you to a new author-teacher. We give you a little background on them, a healthy sample of their work, and […]
WELCOME to the seventh installment of Awakening Clarity’s Guest Teaching Series. One week at a time we’re building what is effectively becoming the Who’s Who of contemporary Nonduality. We hope to become the standard reference source for sampling teachers and teachings. It’s a great way to see how well you resonate, or to simply get […]
WELCOME to the sixth installment of our Guest Teaching Series. One week at a time, one teacher at a time, we’re building what is effectively becoming an open resource of current teachers and teachings covering the range of Nonduality. WHEN IT COMES to counting the living giants of Advaita, we don’t need to use very many fingers. One […]
Richard Lang is the dearest, most cheerful man I know, and I am absolutely delighted to have him with us this week in the fifth installment of the Guest Teaching Series. There’s been a tremendous response to this series and thus it will surely continue until it doesn’t. I have guests signed up through the end of […]
James Braha is our fourth author/teacher in this Guest Teachings Series. Our selection from his work will come from Living Reality: My Extraordinary Summer with “Sailor” Bob Adamson. It’s a unique work in among the hundreds of nonduality titles begging for our attention. It’s both a tremendously satisfying story, and a fine, fine teaching. Here’s part […]
This is the third in our series of Guest Teachings. I hope you’re enjoying discovering, or rediscovering the teachers and teachings as much as I’m enjoying publishing them. Sometimes getting out of “the box” of what we’re intimately familiar with is just what we need to wake up, or wake up again, if you will. […]
This is the first of a series of guest teachings I’ll be presenting in an effort to showcase current teachers and their work, and to bring the very best of Nonduality to readers of Awakening Clarity. I will be reprinting short sections from the guests’ previously published work, which will give you the opportunity to see how […]
Want to wake up? Click here. IN THE LAST COLUMN I SPOKE about how I came to find my feet on Atmananda’s Direct Path. I took a large leap, however, in assuming that my readers know of him. A year ago I’d never paid any attention to him myself. I remember seeing his photo from […]
I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR that I am not even close to being an authority on Shri Atmananda Krishna Menon, the Direct Path that he left as a legacy, or, for that matter, much of anything else. Surprisingly enough, I am loathe to report that I am even an authority on my own experience, […]
Quiet. Still. I am reading Krishna Menon, Rupert Spira, and Francis Lucille. Central heat sings white noise. Cat warms my thighs; a lap-robe floats over my knees. It has been a noisy week internally. For this moment, mind is open; willing to listen rather than talk; to rest rather than run. Presence. Absence. Sun breaks […]
THIS IS A POST THAT’S LONG OVERDUE. I simply want to share my experience; that doesn’t make it a prescription for anyone else. I don’t have any idea what I am supposed to do until I’m in the middle of doing it, so I sure can’t know what’s right or wrong for anyone else. Yet a lot […]
LET ME SAY RIGHT AWAY that I’m mentally at work on a column on inquiry that I hope to have up in the next few days. It’s been a really interesting week in that regard and I want to share it. It needs a bit more gel-time, however, so I thought I’d pop this up, since […]
WELCOME TO THE RECENTLY RENOVATED DREAMTIME, which is now designated 2012. It is of course a wholly imaginary distinction, but this is the great thing about truth: it’s wholly inclusive. We can have our reality cake and enjoy the dream as well. The experience here is that sometimes I feel like I have one foot in […]
EVERY TIME I FIND MYSELF attempting to take a position, I see in my mind one of my mentors, Greg Goode, take up another side of it. That’s the end of that position. I wrote him about it today, wondering if this theoretically lofty “I don’t know” could in fact become a subtle position in itself. […]
