All things pass but the passing. All things appear and disappear in the passing, but the passing itself neither appears nor disappears. The Real is neither a this nor a that, neither a here nor a there; The Real is this passing, and this passing is all that is real. Truth is a verb. This … More The Passing
I started off as a triangle, rough corners and somewhat immobile. I then made a transition to a square for the sake of more symmetry; from there I became a pentagon, then a hexagon, and so on. Clearly the more vertices I pick up the less sharp they become; I’m giving up the sharpness of … More Geometry of Spiritual Journey
This infinity that is in front of me, the infinity that shows itself to me as an indefinite extension of space and an indefinite duration of time, as here and there, as now and then! This infinity that I have attributed to the cosmos outside of myself at the cost of defining myself as a … More The Inside Out Soul
Modes of time in terms of their potentialities for knowledge and action: without the present there’s neither past nor future so much so that past and future can’t be understood except as modes of presence.

I see, and I see from a dimension into which no creature can look. I roll in plain sight but who is to see my face! What keeps me concealed from view is the pure simplicity of my nature. What brings me into view is the pure simplicity of your nature. Some have sought me … More My Perennials

Nondual Perspectives on Quantum Physics is about stunning similarities in the descriptions of this underlying reality provided by science, spirituality, and … More Books on Nonduality
My dear friend, what is fallible is also the infallible. What is here is also there, and what is temporal is also the eternal. What is veiled is at once the most obvious. The unseen is the most seen, and the unheard is the most heard. That which is the ground of speech, that which … More The Eye of the Eternal
