A key issue that is likely to prevent awakening and which will absolutely estrange us from stability and embodiment is our insistence on being a victim. Don’t point outward. Point inward. Virtually all of us have our victim stories. Our victim story may even be at the heart of why we’re trying to wake up. […]
Imagine you’re a child who possesses memories of a so-called past life. You tell everyone, “The last time I was here I was a famous dancer on stage and screen, chart-topping singer, A-List movie star, bestselling author, and effectively, a spiritual teacher known all over the world.” You can just hear it, can’t you? “And I was […]
We come to understand that the world ? is, in the deepest sense, illusory. What we fail to understand is that the character we think we are is also illusory.
Society is a reflection of, not a solution to our problems. Entering adulthood means that our collective mental structure is now undeniably perceived as “the world.” The function of society as we know it is to maintain this shared mental state. Anything that deviates is ignored and blocked out. But as Albert Einstein reputedly said, […]
Hi Fred Just a brief follow-up to our powerful session on Friday. i really like the device you suggested of subtly giving form to formlessness by adding the devotional aspect of surrendering conceptualizations to, what I now call, “The Great Nothing.” By Nothing, I mean No-Thing, Everything, Oneness. I’ve always identified more as a Yogi […]
March 9, 2017 Hi Fred, After our meeting this week, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I spent some time thinking and writing about our discussion of the ghost of the character, largely because it provided a unique frame of reference for the process of clearing up. Although I wrote this initially for myself, I rewrote it […]
The many afflictions which occur with severity like thunderbolts in the life of great devotees are only to establish their pure mind more and more firmly in Self-abidance and not to shake them down from it. ~Ramana Maharshi

Descriptions of awakenings are often attempts to convey the ego’s, or character’s, experience of awakening. But how does awakening feel to Oneness? The character can only imagine. But it will try. There is no seeker. That which is seeking is what is sought. God or Spirit or Oneness is seeking knowledge of itself. Where do […]
Thanks to Max, Kathleen and Kelly for sharing your experience with all of us. Love, fredness . Dear Fred, Thank you so much for your generosity & warmth in today’s clarity session. I feel SO LUCKY to have participated in the Living Method over the last 10 months. There is NO QUESTION that if it were not for […]
Hello Fred, At this week’s satsang, I really had no question. I actually found myself in the same state expressed by the first gentleman – spaced, just able to stay awake. I have had that experience many times in the presence of people who hold the truth or a ton of Shakti. Go in with […]
We just saw this video today and wanted to share it. Love Has No Labels Love, Fred & Betsy

The funny thing about Oneness is that there’s only one of them. We simply do not, and frankly cannot, adequately apprehend what “one” really means. I sometimes ask a client or student a series of questions to help them grok it. The mind that’s trying to encapsulate the concept of Oneness is a part of […]
In the first part of this article we saw that there is never an independent unit born. We don’t have to investigate this mystically. If we accept that “all is One” and we recognize that Oneness means only One, then we can investigate it with simple logic to arrive at this obvious but ever-overlooked truth. […]
Not everyone who reads these posts watches my videos–not by a long shot. Those of you who don’t should consider reconsidering. Just today I got yet another email from someone who woke up from one of my videos–“Deep Attenion Practice: The Experiential Hear Sutra”. Her husband bought her a Clarity Session for her anniversary and […]
1 Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose. Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune, Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms, […]
