Jeff Foster life without a centre - nondualityWelcome to Life Without A Centre, the website of Jeff Foster . Jeff attempts to articulate the timeless message of nonduality, something that is ultimately impossible to put into words, in a simple, human and down-to-earth way, avoiding as much as possible the arcane, heavy, outdated and often self-righteous spiritual language of the past. 

Jeff is not affiliated with any spiritual path, teacher, tradition or lineage. He believes that the truth - that which is present and alive - is absolutely free and cannot be captured by any religion, ideology, philosophy, belief system... or person. However, perhaps it can be shared, in friendship and openness, with those who are open to going beyond what they know...

There is plenty of free material on this website (including essays, talk transcripts, audio and video), and for those who would like to explore further, there are also books and CD's/DVD's available. Jeff presently offers meetings and retreats in the UK and around the world. Thanks for visiting.



WHAT IS NONDUALITY?


'Nonduality' simply means "not two".

It is a word which points to the non-existence of separation.

In reality, there are no separate 'objects' or 'individuals'.
No 'inside' separate from 'outside'.
No 'me' separate from 'you'.
No 'seeker' separate from what is sought.

There is only Life, appearing as everything.
Only Oneness, playing the game of being a world.
Only nothing, dancing as everything.

There is no 'person' in control of life.
Nobody there pulling the strings.
No 'individual' separate from the whole.
No wave separate from the ocean.

There is nothing to find, because nothing has ever been lost.
Right here and right now, THIS is already the wholeness you seek.
And beyond thought, beyond time, you have always known this.

Life Without A Centre is life - as it is -
seen with brand new eyes.

"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."
- Joan Tollifson, author of Awake in the Heartland

"Jeff is a master at handling the paradox:
that we speak of awakening and yet there is no one who has ever awakened
."
- Jerry Katz, author of One: 
Essential Writings on Nonduality


"Jeff is one of the freshest voices in 
modern non-duality writing, 
the embodiment of what non-duality really is."  
- Scott Kiloby, author of Love's Quiet Revolution
