The Eternal Game of Hide-and-Seek & The Dissolution of Duality

11 Nov 2025

The soul, weary of the endless turning of worlds, questions Life itself, demanding meaning, rest, and an end to the game. But Life, ever patient and amused, reminds the soul that it was the one who chose to play, who wrote the rules and hid behind the veil of forgetfulness. In its hiding, the universe was born; in its seeking, time began. Yet when the seeker at last finds the one who hid, the discovery shatters both, revealing there were never two players, only one Life, playing with itself through all forms of being. What remains then is not struggle, nor purpose, but play—pure, endless, self-knowing play. … More The Eternal Game of Hide-and-Seek & The Dissolution of Duality

The Three-Fold Lie

11 Nov 2024

Now, the opposite movement, the ascent to heaven, is not a matter of fixing things or some sort of a material or metaphysical redemption but a matter of awakening to this whole narrative-construct of our situation and realizing that not only we can’t fix things, but also there’s nothing to fix, that nothing is really broken; and that in the final analysis, there’s nothing truly ours, even the stream of our thoughts and feelings and of the human experience in which we always find ourselves, so we are already totally ok and enough. We are just witnessing. Just like God, we have no power over anything, and nothing has any power over us.    … More The Three-Fold Lie

The Forgotten Wealth: A Tale of Hunger, Memory, and Misplaced Identity

4 Nov 2024

There’s an old beggar in our town; he goes around with a bowl knocking at doors begging for food to ease his hunger. Not everyone treats him well; some yell at him and kick him, and a few feed him for a day or two but no more; but he keeps knocking at those same … More The Forgotten Wealth: A Tale of Hunger, Memory, and Misplaced Identity

Exploring the Depths of Consciousness: Edmund Husserl’s Natural Attitude versus Phenomenological Attitude

26 Dec 2023

In performing the phenomenological reduction, phenomenology challenges our assumptions about an objective reality external to consciousness. Instead, it reveals a dynamic and mutually dependent interplay between the subject and the world, with the lifeworld serving as the shared horizon of our collective experiences. In adopting the phenomenological attitude, we embark on a journey that transcends the mundane and unveils the profound mysteries of consciousness, inviting us to explore the depths of our subjective worlds and the interconnectedness that binds us all. In the final analysis, a successful entry into the phenomenological attitude coincides with the realization that while as empirical egos we appear to be living in the world, as transcendental ego, it is the world that lives within us, a world that is constantly constructed and simultaneously lived as the field of play for consciousness itself. … More Exploring the Depths of Consciousness: Edmund Husserl’s Natural Attitude versus Phenomenological Attitude

Transcendental Experience: Moving Beyond States and Illusions

21 Dec 2023

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

Phenomenological Reduction: A Way To Transcend the World

14 Jun 2023

In performing the Phenomenological Reduction, we do not deny the existence of the world and hour human cover but rather get to see them as what they are, as a persistent Heraclitean flux of appearances that contain within them being-sense, the sense of independent existence, which we simply have accepted and are captivated by them through this acceptedness. As Fink says in CM, “in actuality the world just is not, what alone is is only transcendental subjectivity and its constitutive life, the life of performing acts of meaning.” … More Phenomenological Reduction: A Way To Transcend the World

What is Nonduality: Perspectives on Nondual Realization

10 Apr 2023

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

What’s Mine & What’s Grace

14 Mar 2023

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
