Fred – Wow – I was lucky you recorded this one! I was working on a deadline and completely missed the first 30 minutes of the session, so now I can go back and pick it up. The 1 1/2 hours that I was there for really reached me, deeper than even the other sessions have (I suspect there’s […]
I posted this cartoon once before, but I think it was on the original Awakening Clarity site. No matter, here it is again. If you haven’t seen it, at least watch a little of it, because it’s a cautionary tale.I was quite guilty of this, by the way. Drove Betsy nuts, but I didn’t drive […]
So far as I can recall, I’ve never “assigned” a practice for any student unless I was asked to do so. I do dispense general practice advice and recommendations here on the website, on YouTube, in podcasts, in Sunday Satsang and in private meetings. I recently wrote a column about some of them — The […]
Is this really IT?
Betsy and I are on holiday this weekend, which is joyful in itself, but it’s been highlighted by the following emails signalling the onset of (renewed) deeper insight from two one-on-one students (actually three, counting the laughing husband, who’s also a dear student) who are all walking the walk. All three of these people have had previous […]
I’m fresh out of an awakening session with William in Northern Ireland. I want to tell you about it. Round 1 of an awakening session concerns itself with what you are not. It will take at least half, and usually two-thirds of the whole session. Round 2 illuminates what you are. ROUND 1 In our […]
Dear Fred, Clarity has to be contagious. 🙂 Before the end of each of the last three Satsangs I was so much clearer than when I sat down for the sessions. Each time it felt as if Spring had arrived, the windows of my soul had been thrown open, and a fresh breeze was wafting […]
A lot of people share their problems with me. I listen and share my take on things; I never tell anyone what to do, because I don’t have any idea what anyone should do until they’ve done it. It’s easiest to see the Way from a rear view mirror. I don’t even know what this […]
I cut this video 16 months ago and it’s proven very popular. It’s popular, because it works; it’s a very effective portal. If you haven’t tried this, I strongly recommend you try it. It has the power to foster deep and immediate change. If you have done this meditation before, then the odds are wonderful that […]
All we have to surrender to is THIS arising NOW. It’s that simple. However, there is actually no exception to this rule. The mind believes there is, and will pursue imagined alternatives. It will suffer for its trouble and it will drag You with it so long as You believe it. Life IS. This is IT. […]
Can Oneness be humbled? Apparently. I feel humbled and inspired by the elegant, agile, sharp, focussed and loving way you conducted that last satsang. In spite of any slippery mind talk. It was sublimely moving. Like witnessing some kind of dance or tai chi. Thank you. Just had to get it off my chest. Love. […]
Hi Fred, Your teachings and guided Awakening in 2015 turned my life around, 360 degrees. Thank you for this conviction to be “awake to this Arising now.” And for all of your support and guidance on how to work on those “unskillful patterns.” Happy New Year Fred. Love, love, Eliana Thank you, Eliana! Happy […]
No? Is it time you got a real teacher ? Someone you can actually talk to ? .
I just wanted to thank you for your books and YouTube videos. They have an effect that is profound. Blessings, Kevin Great! Thank you, Kevin. I’m working on a new book right now, all new material. The format will be like The Book of Undoing, but it’ll unveil the inquiry I use now, which […]
Hi Fred, The satsang Sunday left me brighter and clearer for sure. Thank you again! My so-called dumb question (I know, there are no dumb questions!) and your thoughtful response and reminder sent me to that clear giddy place of obviousness. And my strong take-away from the meeting was the emphasis on self-inquiry and how […]
Dear Fred, Thank you for the chat today. Of course, in the larger picture, all questions become irrelevant when there is no one to ask them…so it is very hard for a question to pop up without being negated almost immediately. But awareness does seem to appear…in a point of time and space…to an experiencer…but […]
what I is I is the first lie of the second born. I is the sand foundation from which the rains wash all buildings away. I is the thief in the night whose hour in coming remained unguarded. I is the false god upon whose altar is raised the corruptible, and […]
Ego is like a cataract, an occlusion that impairs vision. The awakening event/process is the gradual removal of that occlusion so that the Light of Truth can shine through it clearly and wash the dream with Itself.
