Meditations on the 5th dimension of existence
Everything and everyone is here; the names make them seem far away What’s gone, too, is here; we just call it “gone” and think it “gone.” What’s to come, has always been; we just call it “not yet” and think its name. Near and far, here and there, now and then: these are Its names, … More The Dance of Names
Turiya, the timeless reality within and beyond waking, dreaming, and dreamless states, isn’t a distant goal but a constant presence in our daily lives. Imagine experiencing undifferentiated awareness amid the hustle of the waking world, breaking through illusions that once obscured our true reality.
This journey isn’t about withdrawal; it’s about engagement from a transcendent perspective. Relationships transform as compassion deepens, conflicts lose their grip, and a sense of interconnectedness prevails.
Guided by teachings, we navigate this path not toward progress but a recognition of what has always been. Turiya isn’t a destination; it’s a lived reality that integrates profound insights into the fabric of our existence. … More Transcendental Experience: Moving Beyond States and Illusions

In nondual realization, there’s no phenomena experienced apart from pure or transcendental consciousness. There’s no me and you, no I set up against a world. So, it’s in that sense that it’s a non-worldly experience and not an other-worldly experience. There’s no such thing as another world; everything is here and now but only concealed by an apparent diversity of phenomena. In fact, the experience of being-human-in-the-world is nothing but a notion, a sheer idea having the same nature as that of a daydream; this very notion has apparently blocked the seeing of nonduality which is right in front of us and always present and available. … More What is Nonduality: Perspectives on Nondual Realization
We need only reflect on our own daily experience to see that much of suffering, I mean the unnecessary and avoidable suffering, is the result of attachment to what’s pleasant and aversion to what’s unpleasant. Perhaps if we have a bad day where we don’t feel great, we’ve made it what it is in contrast … More Finding the Real in Ecstasy: The Metaphysics of Joy
Moreover, there are times that even the “I” is taken away from me without me being the one giving it away, and then returned to me without me being able to even ask for it, and that’s the state of dreamless sleep. So, even with regard to my existence, I’m neither its possessor nor its support. My existence, too, is given to me and present as transcendentally as any other thing such as a desire to do good or the power to carry it out. … More What’s Mine & What’s Grace
The highlight of my day is sitting in the balcony in the morning hours when the sun shines from in between the surrounding buildings, drinking my hot coffee and smoking a cigarette. Here in the winters of Florence, Italy, my balcony is positioned so that it sees the sun only for 45 minutes in the … More Readiness is All: On The Power of Faith
When we realize that realness belongs to us rather than the things outside us, when we realize that we are that realness itself, it’s only then that we become fearless, for we know that realness can’t hurt itself. Realness just is and and it is us. And that’s why he said “that which doesn’t kills us makes us stronger,” for when we face realness with courage and open heart we become even more real, which is in truth a case of reclaiming our own reality which we had lent to things outside of ourselves. … More The Primordial Confusion: How to See Nonduality in Duality
What keeps us from seeing The Truth is our stories and interpretations about it. Once we cease looking in the direction of this self-created drama, truth will shine on its own accord and without the need for our effort. It’s quite often our own efforts, and more so our spiritual efforts, that muddle the waters of Beyond-Being and keep our true essence hidden from view. … More The Ground of the Soul in Meister Eckhart’s Theology
