Hell is a Boomerang

You can’t love the light without loving the shadows. It is imperfection that keeps us awake to perfection. Let’s love everything that we are. Read more… … More Hell is a Boomerang

I love metaphysics and nonduality! My passion is a scavenger hunt in western and eastern philosophies and spiritual traditions to find the commonalities among them. I have found that one and the same truth is expressed in all of them, and that they all differ only in the outward form of their expressions. My search is primarily inspired and shaped by Vedanta Metaphysics and Husserlian Phenomenology, particularly Husserl's method of Phenomenological Reduction which allows one to access the transcendental dimension of consciousness. I started my blog NOEMAYA in 2013 to share my findings and experiences. I also started a book series on nonduality and published my first book called "Nondual Perspectives on Quantum Physics" in 2014. I have a degree in theoretical physics from the University of Maryland and currently teach physics and mathematics to high school students.

5 Apr 2022
If you keep imagining a desired version of yourself with consistency in detail and duration, the universe has no choice but to give it to you. Imagination is the power of self-creation. Read more… … More Have an imaginary friend, and let it be your best self
The Direct Path to Spiritual Realization
4 Apr 2022
The direct path toward spiritual realization is easier than advertised. All that one needs to do is to sit and do nothing! It’s the hardest habit to overcome, to do nothing, but it’s the easiest thing to do (or not to do) once we find the zone. Read more… … More The Direct Path to Spiritual Realization
The Sliding Doors and The Eternal Now
1 Apr 2022
There is an invisible door right here and right now, opening and closing all day, beyond which bliss and eternal life await us. To cross, one needs only drop “the doing.” … More The Sliding Doors and The Eternal Now
The Garden of Eden: Paradise Buried Alive
31 Mar 2022
I am lost in some strange neighborhood of my mind; there are so many buildings and high-rises in every direction that I have lost my sense of orientation. I don’t know how I ended up here. It is strange like a dream: I have somehow naively accepted the inception and reality of this place but … More The Garden of Eden: Paradise Buried Alive
Pursuit of Happiness & The Life of Meaning
28 Mar 2022
Happiness or meaning! Which would you choose? Happiness is about how we feel, physically and mentally, so its attainment is a matter of attention to one’s self. Meaning, on the other hand, is about how we are spiritually oriented toward the other, an activity that by nature must aim at something beyond and greater than … More Pursuit of Happiness & The Life of Meaning
The weather small-talk: A cry for connection
26 Mar 2022
My meditation sessions are sometimes blissful, sometimes chaotic, sometimes going absolutely nowhere. They are also sometimes insightful, flashing against my mind creative or spiritual ideas that I want to write down but have to mindfully, and painfully, wait until the end of the meditation to do so. Sometimes these flashing ideas, however novel, are very … More The weather small-talk: A cry for connection

Fear not my friend! Go where you have to go; do what you have to do. Nothing is ever lost, nothing is ever gained. You are the light of the world. How can you ever become worldly? You are that which illumines all things without exhaustion. What you manifest has no bearing on your essence. … More Already Free
Abandoning your fear of abandonment? Don’t!
24 Mar 2022
I feel a tingling sensation in my legs; it feels so uncomfortable that I’m compelled to fold my legs or sit cross-legged. My breathing is so shallow I feel I am out of breath. It feels like there is a black-hole in my chest trying to pull me inside. All of this started out of … More Abandoning your fear of abandonment? Don’t!
Consciousness: The Grand Trickster
21 Mar 2022
It’s all happening in the darkness, a chaos of undifferentiated ether. And I, the spotlight, make a scene by the turn of my gaze. And the mind, the prompter, animates the ghosts of this stage, the dormant selves of this world. And on the basis of this one scene, this here and now, a spatiotemporal … More Consciousness: The Grand Trickster
