A NEW TEXT POST WRITTEN BY FRED: What Authenic Nonduality Is NOT About
WHAT AUTHENTIC NONDUALITY IS NOT ABOUT (FYI, no one’s proofreading this and it’s late at night so you get what you get.) Pardon me while I step onto my soapbox. Ahem. The historical Buddha’s core teaching was as stunningly simple as it was earth-shattering. Above and beyond anything else, he taught, “There is no self.” […]

Peace Be unto You by Mike Zerbel
Today I let that which follows, follow, having noticed the suffering that comes from imagining that the “I” leads, decides and is responsible. A Course in Miracles teaches, “I will step back and let Him lead the way,” and “I merely follow, for I would not lead.” These resonate more deeply now than when I […]
Letters from the Field: A Wellspring of Gratitude Is the Hallmark of Awakening
Hi Fred! I wanted to write to you, as it has been awhile since I communicated my deep gratitude to you for the profound impact your awakening and your presence has had on my sense of awakening and on my life! I don’t try to put into the character’s words very often what my “journey” […]
Insomnia by Kathleen Sutherland
Fred woke me up a few years ago. Had I been dreaming peacefully, I would have been annoyed. But as it was, I was very glad to awaken from the fitful, troubled sleep I was having. Fred said, “Wake up. You’re having a nightmare!” Thank you, Fred. I’ve nodded off routinely since that initial awakening, […]

Email from Fred to Betsy about Willy, OR: A Live, Confessional Snapshot of Conscious Awakeness Reestablishing After a Short Bout of Unit Overwhelm
As I’m sure you saw, he did it AGAIN!! He tore up another leather book. I can hardly believe it. My beautiful wall of leather cannot stand, thanks to that dog. I pulled up the spendy Greek stuff that was down low and put it on the dining room table. I’m going to have to […]
Letter from the Field to Home
Hi Fred – I wanted to send you my regards. Thank you so much for the satsang on 11/19 (I’m a little behind). It included Joel, Andrew, Vince, and Amber. I loved her “Friends” story — how she absurdly watched the TV show “Friends” because a therapist said she needed to learn how to experience emotion. I heard her saying that on […]
Giving Your Self the Finger
Are you a finger (body/mind), or are you the hand (oneness)? Why not both? Do distinctions have any inherent reality to them beyond just perspective? Thanks to Lucas!
Wisdom from 13th Century Islam
This is from the first complete work attributed to Ibn ‘Arabi to appear in a western language, although many scholars now attribute it to Balyani, a near contemporary, who may well have been influenced by his thought. No one sees Him except Himself, no one reaches Him except Himself. He knows Himself through Himself and […]
Letter from the Field: Save the Unit!
Dearest Fred, I’ve wanted to write and listen more, but I haven’t lately. Everything we have done so far has touched me deeply over the last few weeks or Unit Wendi would not be so clear. The unit was on the phone with doctors every day, and for some reason, they often didn’t give a […]
