Non-Duality and Politics

At a recent non-duality meeting with Jim Newman, I was chatting with a friend at the break who I hadn't seen in a while. He asked a good question that I had recently been reflecting on regarding my political posts on social media. As I told him, I was quite apolitical while on a spiritual path, but in my youth was quite politically active. Much to my surprise, after seeing through the illusion of separation, it appeared to free up the character to be more politically out-spoken again. Anyway, it was a good conversation that I felt compelled to expand upon in writing.

​A Eulogy for Self

Rest in peace old friend. The invisible flames of ​oblivion and annihilation have snuffed you out, leaving only a distant memory and rumors circulated by apparent others. I bid you and all of your belongings a fond ado. It was fun while it lasted.

Rest in peace seeking. 
Rest in peace sense of incompletion. 
RIP longing for liberation. 
RIP quest for enlightenment. 
RIP autonomy and free will.

​​Radical Non Duality and The End of Seeking

I have not written anything since publishing my second book a year ago, but not long after publication I encountered a message that seems to have taken "my" apparent journey and leveled it. It's not a popular message and certainly not a message I would have chosen to resonate with, but there was apparently a readiness to hear it and "I" took the plunge into the deep end of uncompromising non-duality. 
 
The message, which has been called contemporary non-duality, radical non-duality, uncompromising non-duality, neo-advaita, etc., is an end of the road message, in that it gives the ​seeker
