The mind seeks clarity and attempts to mimic the understanding by using the learned non-duality concepts. But this is not the REAL understanding, which is NON-CONCEPTUAL. If you step off the mind track to see and BE what you are, is it necessary to frame it in words and concepts? The non-duality concepts are NOT truth. They are conceptual pointers TO reality. See if you can drop them and try not to use them as a basis for understanding. Be what you are prior to the thoughts and concepts. Speak from there. See from there. Experience “what is” unadorned by concepts, even non-duality concepts. See what you come up with from the point of view of BEING the non-conceptual reality. If there is no problem, no division, no limitation, then you can “full stop”. At least you can explore this. This may assist you in stepping out of subtle concepts and attempting to describe your experience through concepts. You don’t need to describe anything to be what you are. Conceptualizing comes later and is never true, accurate or final.

The real is always with you. You need not wait to be what you are.
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj




John Wheeler
In 2003, John heard the good news from “Sailor” Bob Adamson, former student of Nisargadatta Maharaj of Bombay (Mumbai). Bob clarified the basic point of non-duality, which is “You are already that which you have been seeking.” With this heart-to-heart sharing, the spiritual search resolved itself. John enjoys sharing the pointers with those who are interested in self-knowledge and the resolution of seeking, suffering and doubt. John lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he works as a technical writer in Silicon Valley.
