Nonduality Highlights: Issue #4325, Sunday, July 31, 2011
It is characteristic of all deep human problems that they are not
to be approached without some humor and some bewilderment.
Freeman Dyson, posted to Distillation
Why do you stay in prison
when the door is so wide open?
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.
Rumi, posted to Distillation
The day you are discontented not because you want more of
something but without knowing what it is you want; when you are
sick at heart of everything that you have been pursuing so far
and you are sick of the pursuit itself, then your heart will
attain a great clarity, an insight that will cause you
mysteriously to delight in everything and in nothing.
- Anthony de Mello
Although hundreds or thousands of explanations are given, there
is only one thing to be understood. Know the one thing that
liberates everything: Awareness itself, your own true nature.

Unchanging Awareness
Learn to watch both your experience and your reactions to your
experience. This process of observant attention and witnessing
will enable you to see that your fundamental and essential sense
of identity exists as an unchanging point of Awareness within the
heart of all changing conditions and circumstance.v
This Awareness is grounded in the present moment and never exists
outside of Now. It is always accessible and never exists
somewhere other than Here. It is the immediate and undeniable
Center of who you imagine yourself to be.
Reside in this Center, and realize that the essence of this
Awareness is not separate from That which manifests before,
around and within you.
- Metta Zetty
Understand the obstructions you are putting in the way of love,
freedom, and happiness and they will drop. Turn on the light of
awareness and the darkness will disappear. Happiness is not
something you acquire; love is not something you produce; love is
not something you have; love is something that has you.
- Anthony de Mello
