I know an Advaita non-dual teacher who lives in awareness. From moment to moment he is connected to the unshakable sense that everything is awareness and only awareness – solid, undying, unchanging. It is the great reassurance of his life.

I know there are no 'cosmic accidents'; this is just the article I needed to read this morning. By posting it you have become both the vehicle and the journey. I have said for many years now that everyone one has to find their own truth. This essay points in the same direction. Now I have to start looking into "non-dual" thinking.

That is a very good article. It should be required reading on RF.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Compulsory reading for anyone interested in the big questions? Might be kinda hard to enforce or persuade people ...

Wishing you all the best.

In order to be happy nature must be changing and unchanging until impermeance ends to the 4th noble truth, the end of suffering.
