Debunking Myths: Trusted guidance for those drawn to exploring our true nature
In realising our own essential Self as timeless, aware presence, nothing is lost. There was never a single thing to lose. Everything is just as it ever was. But known. Known in the full, delicious, raw beauty of it all. Known clearly as our own true nature.
Join the Conversation
I often say “engage rather than consume.” This reflects my experience of how explorers get stuck in intellectual understanding, instead of coming to a fully embodied experience of Awareness. By engaging in the conversation, blocks to understanding are brought to light and addressed.
I host a weekly group call, during which I record a short teach-in, guided exploration or discussion piece to meet the questions of the group. These calls and recent recordings are available for an accessible subscription.
FAQ: 10 ENTRY LEVEL QUESTIONS
Responses to 10 common questions about the non-dual teaching.
CONTROL
Ah, don’t humans love the idea of control? The suggestion that by personal effort we can win at life? The claiming of mastery over certain actions, feelings and thoughts (but not others) as a way to make us safe in the world? The recruiting of others to our faith, so that we feel secure? The need to proclaim a “meant to be”, a silver lining, or the possession of a secret?
It’s all distancing us from life. Distancing us from engaging, Distancing us from showing up fully as who we are. Distancing us from actually feeling all of it.
INTO THE DARK
You are not addicted to drugs, alcohol, porn, sex, control, exercise, food, affection, being looked after, doing the looking after, work, holidays, shopping or admiration.
If anything you are addicted to the sense of lack. To the cycle of pleasure and pain, elation and despair.
But it might be more appropriate to say that sense of lack is addicted to you.
What is "Living Life Sideways"?
On old movie sets, it was common to create a facade, supported by scaffolding, instead of full buildings. From the front it looked real, but from the side you knew it was something else entirely. Knowing this doesn’t change the enjoyment of the movie – indeed it might be enhanced by knowing what everything is made of. Having seen behind the facade of life, you can’t be fooled by appearances any more – even as you willingly engage with what shows up.
