I left the center for the periphery and beyond. I had to leave home. But on the periphery and beyond all I found was the center again. I now know that I had never left the center. The journey was the dream of the all-encompassing center. I’ve always been home all along. The periphery is … More The All-Encompassing Center
I wear a mask made of nothing, you don’t see it on my face but I feel it all the time. The story has it that I am hideous, but god knows who has that story! I wove the mask I wear with the labor of time; it is a conglomeration of conflicting stories teamed … More The Play of Masks
It was a suggestion by a good friend of mine Maury, a nondual comrade, to create a video and recount my journey into nonduality and my personal encounter with a nondual state of consciousness.

The present moment with all that’s happening in and around it is a canvas with some paint on the side. It is up to me how to look at it and what to make of it. Heaven and hell are not places in this world or the other world; they are the reflections to myself … More Hell is Blindness in Heaven

When the sun comes up, the earth is flooded with its light; it illumines and uncovers the ugly and the beautiful alike; this is not a fault of light; neither is light defiled by illumining the defiled. It’s the nature of sun to shine and to show all things without discrimination. However, I, this changing … More Flooded by Light
