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.
We superimpose our human rigidity on God, making Him judgmental and ourselves fearful. While we must fear God, our fear of Him should be a humbling awe with utmost veneration before His infinitude rather than a childish fright before His revengeful wrath. We, and especially we religious and spiritual people, and even more so myself, … More Truth & Intelligence
(Introductory Note: This post is about Being and beings, so it is necessary to define from the outset what I mean by being and Being. By being, or beings, when written with lower-case “b” I refer to entities as existent things; for instance, a cup, a person, an idea, a thought, etc. which are existent … More Human Being as the site of revelation
This is a story of a humble religious experience, of how the Almighty graced and saved me in a stormy day. The other day I had a pretty rough morning at the university, the burden of projects and things not working, and especially the spiritual turbulence of the week. While driving back home the mini-storm … More Grace, Jokes, and Shower Confessions
Forgetfulness is the mark of this world. What is the use of seeking that which is forgotten when the only way of finding it is to remember?! What we have lost is not to be found in the world, for we are in the world precisely because we lost. World is the face of forgetfulness. … More Wake Up Already
World as the totality of all existence, both in its form and content, is nothing but a symbol. It is a symbol because it always points to something other than itself, to an origin that is itself not in or part of the world, to an origin that is itself other-worldly. Even modern science has … More World as Divine Symbol
The Contradiction of Relativism By Frithjof Schuon Relativism reduces every element of absoluteness to relativity while making a completely illogical exception in favor of this reduction … More The Contradiction of Relativism
This world is the shadow of God; it is not a thing, not an existent entity; rather, it is the lack of a thing, lack of light, as are all shadows. Our relation to the absolute principle is paradoxical from the point of view of our mundane intelligence: First, there is nothing but God; but … More World is the shadow of God
