"Peace and happiness are the nature of our being, and we share our being with everyone and everything"
These words by Rupert Spira are his pithy attempt to try and capture the essence of the Non-Dual or Natural Awareness perspective. Although very challenging to put into words, the direct experience of the unity of everything (non-dual), is found at the deepest core of many of the world's major religions and philosophies. Through the ages, various practices, prayers and instructions from these varied sources have supported seekers of all faiths with this deep exploration.
This all may sound complicated, but it is surprisingly simple… and immediate.
As the Jazz Musician Charles Mingus once said:
“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.”
Tonight, we will continue our investigation of this fascinating, yet simple, perspective with a guided experience, a short talk and a discussion.
