Hi Fred, I just stumbled onto your book ‘The Book of Undoing’, three days ago, and purchased it on Amazon kindle. I left a review in the last hour. [Christina’s Review on Amazon.ca] I just want to reach out personally to tell you how grateful I am to you, for making this book available. As […]
Fred, This is a great video. [Falling Into the Sense of Being]I would like to consider purchasing an awakening session or package with you and will probably set that up soon. I want you to know how wonderful finding your videos and books have been for me and my family. I recently sent my brother […]
On a hot summer day in the very early 1970s, I was wandering around a tiny branch of the public library when I stumbled upon Walden, a book by an author I’d never heard of, Henry David Thoreau. Little did I know that my life would be forever changed by what I found in its […]
I haven’t addressed the apathy virus that’s so rampant in our community in quite a while, so I’m going to take a few minutes to do so again now. Sadly enough, all too often the nondual path often seems to be a movement from innocent enthusiasm to jaded skepticism or even bitterness. If that’s your […]
This is the first in a projected series of conversations between John Ames–the editor of Awakening Clarity Now, and my books–and myself. Nothing was rehearsed, and nothing was edited out. You see it as it happened, from my poor intro of John to the goodbyes. It was a lightning fast hour for me, especially since […]
Join me for 20 minutes of noticing the Most Obvious Thing. (Click the link!) Noticing What We Are
“Freedom is independence of the compulsory will of another; and in so far as it can coexist with the freedom of all according to a universal law, it is the one sole original, inborn right belonging to every man in virtue of his humanity.” ~Immanuel Kant German Philosopher, 1724-1804 To ego, awakening appears to be […]
Thanks so much to Roslyn Wilson at SuperScholar.org for sending me this. Fred Davis 3.20.15
I am surely going to get questions about the newly designed home page for Awakening Clarity Now, so I thought I’d take the bull by the horns and answer them before they arrive. The real truth is that I had nothing to do with this change, but I’m the one who’s been left to explain […]
Fred , I am still ‘ percolating ‘ from our session last week . One of things that came thru for me, clearly, was your Heart. It is immense. So I felt I needed to note that and say thank you for taking your stand as Fredness and Awareness in this world. Warm Regards, Tom
Hi, Fred! Well the last time we exchanged e-mails-this person I call Sharon-went through a period of terror-and then the light of awareness came flowing through ! I haven’t left the now- the answer you asked was-am I ready to tell the truth? Well just by allowing that question to soak in- out came- I […]
We decided that King Willie needed a playmate, so today we brought him home a new brother. Willy is a Lhasa Apso, which is about the same thing as a Shih Tzu. Currently Willy is less than thrilled, but both dogs are good-hearted beings and we expect they’ll be the best of pals in pretty […]
This quote is from the website for The Center for Nondual Awareness. Here is a link to a video that speaks quite clearly about this “rightness” phenomenon: Confusion After Your Awakening
I just added some more photos to the “About Fred” page. Since most of you looked at that a long time ago, and may not ever feel drawn to it again, I thought I’d share these photos with you. Many of you feel like you know me, so here’s an opportunity to know me just […]
The link in this post leads to another post–it’s short–on Tammy-in-PDX’s website, Funny Peculiar… In it she (my great friend, sometimes-student, and ex-wife) talks about how the Universe has been sending her a message over and over again–for years. In her instance, the lesson is about loving yourself, meaning the unit. As ever, she offers […]
As we seemingly progress toward the heart of the Teaching, by which I am referring to most of the forms of nondual spirituality, we come to understand a fundamental truth. While our brain is an either/or machine, Reality is not set up to accommodate it. The brain works pretty much like a computer does–in a […]
The commercial storm that carries the flag of spirituality while singing the praises of More can be very distracting. It can really take a toll on someone’s authentic spiritual path. Even if you end up with what you wanted, you may find out that you no longer want it, or that it wasn’t what you […]
Seeing that we cannot ever have more or less is a great relief. There’s not enough for 7,000,000,000 of us, but there is an abundance for One. Click here to watch the video
Ralph Waldo Emerson is one of my Western heroes. Thanks to Emerson, more than any other figure, I realized that I didn’t need anyone’s approval or permission to live my life–or to teach as I saw fit. I’ve since discovered that you will often go further and initiate more actual change if you go against […]
Ramana called it perseverance. “No one succeeds without effort. Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.” ~Sri Ramana Maharshi . Maharaj called it earnestness. “Earnestness is both necessary and sufficient. Everything yields to earnestness.” ~Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj . I call it willingness. “Enlightenment comes when we become more willing to live as […]
