You Are Peace Itself

You are present as the knower of your experience. You know your thoughts, feelings, images, sensations and perceptions but you are not made out of any of these. You - this open, transparent, aware presence - are inherently free of any resistance just as the room in which your body is now sitting is inherently free of any resistance to whatever may or may not be taking place within it.... read more

UNMANI

Unmani points very directly to who you really are beyond all the words and concepts. If there is a readiness to hear this, then there is a possibility to investigate the reality of everything that you have ever believed in. Realizing more and more that your whole life is based on an assumption of who you think you are, there is a total freefall into not knowing. .... read more.
