Non-Duality
Prague
Speakers
"The Open Secret communication can only point to the simple wonders of being, and attempt to illuminate the futility of seeking for it. It does not accept or reject the teachings of spiritual path or process but it will expose, without compromise, the singular and fundamental misconception that drives the belief that there is something called a seeker that needs to find something else called enlightenment....
"Many so-called teachers of Non-Duality suggest that there is someone who can do something to heal their sense of separation; in other words that there is a person who is able to discover that they are not a person. The absurdity of this idea is often camouflaged by highly complex and subtle thinking. Teachings about Non-Duality frequently present the seductive idea that liberation can be realised through an evolutionary spiritual path. This has no actual connection with Non-Duality but it can offer us a convincing, although completely meaningless, story about it.....
"This Is It. This is all there is - life appearing as an endless disply of changing images, with no inherent purpose other then this appearance itself. There is simply life with no one living it.
For no reason at all life is at play with its own imagery, roving as attention, engaging in a mesmerising game os hide and seek which arises as a sense of separation with an integral urge to wholeness. Life restlessly seeks, yearning for itself. The seeking is the restlessness. This play of wordly existence is imbued with life's haunted longing for itself, seeking but never finding within the imagery in which it seeks. What is sought all along is this in which the seeking is playing out.....
Suzanne Foxton is a mother and artist who works and lives in Kew in the United Kingdom. She was born a Hoosier (native of the US state of Indiana). She says she muddles along as best as she can, like most of humanity. Suzanne believes the particulars of her story are unimportant and she doesn't take much of anything too seriously. Her blog, Nothing Exists Despite Appearances, is an attempt to point to the infinite, eternal, and ultimately non-existent nature of reality....
"Liberation is the realisation of the obvious yet unimaginable reality that the experience of life does not include a personal self. What is assumed to be at the heart of all experience, namely that I have to be there experiencing it, is not what's happening. It's not you who is experiencing reading these words, the experience is of you reading. The sense of self is part of the experience, part of what's happening....
'There is a passion to express a sense of being that arose when the notion of self-identity fell away some years ago. I no longer see myself as a separate individual living in a world of separate objects, but feel more like a wave belonging to the one ocean of energy. There is a non-dualistic view of the world that has replaced the previously held, vastly smaller self-identity....
Kenneth talks very clearly from a non-dual place. He had an awakening during a Vipassana retreat many years ago.
He says, 'I had no idea about the world of the spiritual seeker and such terms as awakening, enlightenment and liberation. I remember describing it at the time as like a veil being lifted to reveal that what I had always been looking at was what I had always been looking for.....
Catherine has no book out, doesn't lecture or give sessions; in fact she lives a very ordinary life. That is apart form the fact that she lives in a Non-Dual state. The interview is quite fascinating for the ordinary way in which she deals with living life.
