Dear Tamra,

 

This site contains a paper meant for a junior your east west religion course

that was based on the experiences of yoga and the non-dual and references

texts of others with the same experiences.

 

If you're interested, I can send you some other related works.

 

That which we are all seeking is always at hand and immanent. It's a matter

of somehow isolating that part within the muddled mix of the mind. By

reading the explanations and expressions of others that have isolated the

Truth in their consciousness, it helps each of us to also discern that True

part within ourselves, like being a panhandler shifting through the sand to

find the gold.

 

All the Traditions are teaching the same Truth, but it's a matter of somehow

hearing that Truth that is the task, and this hearing is the most essential

element. "Those who have ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit has to

say..." is the whole point.

 

But by reading, possibly engaging in some practices to stabilize the mind,

and considering, suddenly that which is True within our consciousness, our

own non-dual Self, the self we use to say "I" with in relation to all our

thoughts and activities, becomes isolated and there is a sense of

recollection and awakening to That part which is always awake.

 

The text at this website may be helpful, because it tries to needle a thread

through the on-dual heart of each Tradition to isolate the single Truth

within each of us, while referencing books of those that have isolated the

same experience.
