Introduction

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Some of you already know that I've been on both the Advaita-L List and

on the NondualitySalon List for a while now....although, most of the time,

I've usually just hovered in the cyber-wings off the Main Stage and

passively observed the many interactive dramas (some erudite, some

pedantic, many, though, truly from the Heart) being played out. It's been

an honor to have both witnessed and learned.

 

As you all know, words are, by nature, completely dualistic, and so we

so-called "non-dualists" (which is actually a total contradiction in

terms!) are, seemingly, "condemned" to only pointing at something which

turns out to be, in Truth, the very same finger that is doing the pointing.

But, as long as we all agree that we can't REALLY talk about "IT," (at

least not in the usual sense), our candid admission somehow creates the

space for us to, at least seemingly, go ahead and "talk about IT." (It's

really quite a paradox, isn't it?)

 

When the Spirit moves me, I do sometimes jump into the fray for

several days in a row and have great fun with the other participatants in

weaving a particular thread of conversation into a non-dual tapestry (of

sorts). But then, after the dust has settled and the conversation has

moved on, I invariably retreat back into my silence and slip quite easily

into my "inactive" mode. Who can say why?

 

Although I've read eastern philosophy since 1967, Ramana Maharshi has

been the life-blood of my Heart since 1970. There's nothing more to say.

 

My current role is as a state licensed psychotherapist in California.

I've written (or so it would seem) several deceptively simplistic books on

nondualism. For more info, check out my website at: www.blackdotpubs.com

 

With Blessings,
