Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 The secret is to breath in and breath out and not get too caught up in concepts and words (especially one's own, and especially about nonduality :-). To remember oneself without words, to be quietly aware of awareness. It is all an open secret. It always has been. Other than that there are no secrets worth chasing after.
