Reacquainting with The (Nondual) Mind of a Child

From beyond the "I" - certainly not a new idea at all. Said in many ways: the Advaita Vedanta ("not this-not that"), Zen ("a field far beyond form and emptiness"), the Tao Te Ching ("The Tao that can be named is not the Tao that is") and on the contemporary scene ...read more
