Greetings from the Nevada desert.

Hi back, Deborah; hi back, DavidB, too. Thank you for your well-coming responses.

To Deborah... yes, I am in the vicinity of Las Vegas; although I am making plans to shortly uproot myself and relocate elsewhere. I haven't identified where my future nest will be; I just know where it won't be. :)

And I rarely attend satsangs or group meetings of spiritually-minded folk. That's not a criticism or judgment of them, mind you. It's more an expression of my desire for invisibility.

The less your ego has the desire to be center-stage, the more it is inclined to be content with invisibility, I have dis-covered. And, so, my lifestyle follows suit. LOL

But if you happen to run across a headless motorcycle rider in Vegas, it might be me. :)

And to David B.... I agree with you. Shakara's quote... "The world is an illusion. Brahman alone is real. Brahman is the world"... says it all for me. Which is why I spend very little time differentiating between the two.

Thanks again.

Peter

Hello Peter,

I'm new to the West as an East coast transplant last year. You aren't by any chance in the Las Vegas vicinity? I'm looking to meet others in this area who recognize nonduality as essential nature. I too have been a NNH lurker for a couple of years. The guests that Richard brings are crème de la crème...I've had the great pleasure of sitting satsang with a number of them. Awakening seems to be happening all over the place. What a wonderful time we live in!

Hi Peter,

I love Sri Nis, he is definitely one of my favourites, he does in my opinion, the best job of dismantling conceptions down to their simplest forms, and then removes the form completely, leaving oneself with essentially nothingness. I love his no nonsense approach, sheer genius, and from an essentially uneducated man.

Just goes to show, the secrets of life are not hidden but able to be known by anyone at any time.

I make only one suggestion though, that although Sri Nis definitely makes it possible for us to know the absolute, Sri Nis only tends to make the absolute know from the emptiness perspective. May I be so bold to suggest then, that the absolute may also be know from the fullness perspective.

regards,

DavidB
