Mental conflict and emotional struggle, or suffering, arise directly from dualistic thinking, from believing that there is a perceiver—this “I” or “me” that you take yourself to be—and the perceived, the situations, problems, and challenges in your life.
But in reality there is only ever perceiving, the flowing with and responding calmly, intelligently, and creatively to whatever’s before you. This is the nondual truth of life. When you look within you will not be able to find the perceiver, this “I” or “me” you think you are. This discovery, or realization, results over time in awakening—the “Ah ha!” moment that finally liberates you, and frees you to be the beautiful, wise, and loving person you really are. Then you are always present, always here, now.
Embodying this realization, using the power of your mind and imagination to attract what you want in your life and, above all, connecting and sharing with others—seeing them as beautiful and already awake—then becomes your life-long work and purpose.
