The Paradox of Spiritual Awakening - Existence and Non-Existence, Self and No-Self.
Spiritual teachers throughout the ages have spoken of the non-existence of the separate self. But where does daily life, and the complexity of human relationships, come into the picture? Without a self, how is it possible to function in the world? Doesn’t there need to be a ‘self’ and an ‘other’ for conventional existence to be possible?...read more

UNMANI
Unravelling the great pretence of who you think you are with Unmani

FEELING THROUGH EMOTION, SEPARATION AND ILLUSION
