Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Hi Jerry. Thanks for sharing some beautiful, heartfelt observations about us. Guerilla nondualists, and gorilla nondualists, and grilled nondualists, and growling nondualists. And many more varieties. On the road, only without a road. Good stuff - Love, Dan >Nondualists, doing it all on the Internet, >in lonely rooms set aglow by a >monitor, in tiny groups with our friends and no recognized >teacher, on the phone with Gene Poole, in chat rooms, in >motel rooms, in mental institutions, alone with good >husbands in the living room, alone with wives who don't >understand, alone with good books, alone in bed and in >chronic physical pain, paired in bed and in joy, in our >offices, at our work stations, in prisons or in streets >among the homeless, in the cemetaries of our love ones, many >taken while too young, on the top of London busses, in >revolving doors, driving cabs, in E.R.'s: yes, many of us >are Guerrilla nondualists, doing the nondual attention thing >by loving the one they're with and the place they are now >and knowing it's as good or much better or no different than >formal Satsang. > >Guerrilla Jerry Katz offers more from Arjuna Nick Ardagh: > >"...for many of us it's time to move beyond preoccupation >with the minute fluctuations of 'my freedom.'

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
