Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 The NoDoer e-mail list has been renamed DirectApproach. Here is the new list description: "There are basically two known approaches to truth, the gradual and the direct. In the direct approach the premise is that you are the truth, there is nothing to achieve. Every step to achieve something is going away from it. The 'path,' which strictly speaking is not a path from somewhere to somewhere, is only to welcome, to be open to the truth, the I am. When you have once glimpsed your real nature it solicits you. There is therefore nothing to do, only be attuned to it as often as invited. There is not a single element of volition in this attuning. It is not the mind which attunes to the I am but the I am which absorbs the mind. "In the gradual approach you are bound to the mind. The mind is under the illusion that if it changes, alters states, stops, etc., it will be absorbed in what is beyond it. This misconception leads to the most tragic state in which a truth-seeker can find himself: he has bound himself in his own web, a web of the most subtle duality." -- Jean Klein Inspired by the late Jean Klein, teacher of Advaita Vedanta (nonduality), this forum aims to bring together those who have been touched by the teachings of Jean Klein, Sri Atmananda (Krishna Menon) and other expressions of the direct approach to truth. Please share your questions, your stories, your pointers to the Ultimate. The list home page is DirectApproach/ Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
