Nisargadatta’s Corner 8/11/11
We dream that we are awake, we dream that we are asleep. The three states are only varieties of the dream state. Treating everything as a dream liberates. As long as you give reality to dreams, you are their slave. By imaging that you are born as so and so, you become a slave to [...]
Enjoying The Dance
Many years ago (or so it seems), I began expressing a sense of existence that was quickly and commonly labelled a nondual perspective. I want to reflect a little on the use of this word. In my sense of it, nonduality refers to the fact that existence is an undivided, inexplicable, formless dynamic. Every apparent [...]
Stop Thinking, Start Looking
The message being shared here is simple: You are That. You are that formless, knowing presence that is effortlessly knowing every ‘thing’. You are that simple feeling of being; that every day, ordinary awareness. Your own nature is clear, open, spacious, freedom itself. And there is nothing that needs to be done about this since [...]
Naked Awareness
For about a year, while between permanent homes some years ago, I lived at a nudist resort near San Diego. Folks that I talked to there seemed convinced that the population of nudists was steadily increasing.

Primarily there is that registering of everything. Just like that mirror on the wall is reflecting everything in front of it, so that essence, intelligence or whatever [...]
The only presence is Life
You cannot become anything through the spiritual search. You only find that your ideas you have about yourself aren’t true. The idea that you were born and will someday die or cease to exist, is false. The idea of independent and finite existence is false. This idea is built upon appearances – we take appearance [...]

You ARE reality
Dear Gilbert, May I ask you a question about non-duality and life? With our mind/thought we cannot understand life and we don’t have another instrument. But there are expressions of life here on earth. They didn’t happen by ‘accident’. There is an intelligence behind it, life itself. If we are that life, that intelligence, we would know how [...]
