Nonduality (Advaita) means "Not Two". It points to the Oneness at the Heart of all things. What we are talking about is not a special state to be reached. Not something that some individuals have and others don't. It's more like awakening from a dream, and realising, with crystal clarity, that it was only ever a dream. It's like being a newborn baby again. Present. Open. Uncontaminated. Seeing with fresh eyes. Seeing for the first time. It's not an intellectual understanding. It's not contained in words or systems of thought. It's your True Nature. And you don't need to do anything to see your True Nature, because you already are It. Fully. Still, seeking for It may happen. And for the dream character, all that apparently needs to happen, is for the seeking to end, once and for all. And to the dream character, spiritual teachings may appear to be helpful. Until the seeking ends, that is, and the dream teachings dissolve, and with great Laughter, and great Lightness, the dream character dissolves with them. And then it's all over, and there is only ever THIS, and nobody to know it. The spiritual search ends with the realisation that there is only ever Oneness... LIFE WITHOUT A CENTRE - NEWS/UPDATES

New MP3's and videos available - See Audio/Video page Welcome Home...  The simple and direct message of Life Without A Centre is this: there is only ever Oneness. And in Oneness, the dream of separation arises, the idea that you are a separate "person in the world", with a heavy past and an uncertain future, somehow divided from everyone and everything else. And in this dream there can be great suffering, because to a separate person, life will never seem complete, and a longing for Home will pervade all action. What we are talking about here is the possibility of waking up from this dream. And it's an awakening that's simpler and gentler than you could ever imagine. This radical message lovingly allows all spiritual paths to have their place, whilst at the same time making them completely obsolete. And this may feel very threatening to a mind hooked on ideas of paths, processes and perfection. But in the presence of this revolutionary clarity, the endless seeking of the mind cannot last. And then, in the place of striving, suffering, and solidity, there is only ever lightness, love... and so much laughter. Some have called this "spiritual awakening". I call it Life Without A Centre. Jeff Foster November 2007. Jeff's words... resonate with honesty, integrity, and love - which imbues them with the power to go beyond just words - and mind. I highly recommend this book [Beyond Awakening] to you. - Victor Davich, author of 8 Minute Meditation Gratitude is arising here, gratitude for the unspeakable beauty of your words... - John Astin, author of This is Always Enough Jeff Foster writes with wonderful clarity about what he refers to as 'the utterly, utterly obvious.' This is radical, bare, uncompromising nonduality... a delightful and clear expression of the utter simplicity of what is. Highly recommended. - Joan Tollifson, author of Awake in the Heartland Free of arrogance and of taking offense, free of an air of superiority or celebrity; ordinary, pleasant, Jeff Foster is the nondualist next door. This [Life Without A Centre] is a quietly powerful book that leads you to the plunge into Nothingness. - Jerry Katz, author of One: Essential Writings on Nonduality I've been living with Jeff's first two books for the past six months, and they have spoken so deeply to me, and have brought new life to this inquiry. It may sound strange, but for me Jeff's teaching is like a seedling breaking free of its seed: pure, fresh, and utterly undefended. - Reader, USA There are no words to do justice to the sheer beauty of this book [Life Without A Centre], and its power of awakening resonance. - Amazon Reviewer Q
Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace." - Frederick Buechner |
