My life has been enriched by the words of wise men and women, often referred to as spiritual teachers. I prefer to think of them as inspired human beings. They share a viewpoint known as non-duality. It means that everything is connected to everything else. Nothing exists on its own. It is only in our minds that we are separate from the world around us. 

The language of non-duality is quite perplexing at first. It comes across as gibberish. The essays on these pages attempt to demystify the concept of non-duality so that more may be exposed to its revolutionary power. May they give you fresh insights into your existence!

SO glad to have found your website, via your article in the OMTimes: "Gearing Up for Revolution". Although I'm *inwardly* aware of pretty much all you've written about (still exploring this, btw), *outwardly* it's much more difficult to remind or even accept them, esp. in terms of (r)evolution. In fact lately I've shifted (reluctantly but as last-ditch effort) to the far left. Your article mentioned above, & this site, give me renewed hope. ... I think you're a *true* anarchist (!) as originally defined & promoted by the "Father of Anarchy", Pyotr Kropotkin (http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/kropotkin/spiritofrevolt.html). Thank you again for refreshing my hope & vision. If either fades, I'll be rereading your articles! Best to you!

Yes I could be persuaded, but more than persuasion I need some direction. I am technical challenged. I still can't believe I was able to erect this website. I may ask you for help.

Hey Sophie, thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I will check out Kropotkin's stuff tomorrow, as I am too exhausted tonight. I'm interested to know about your shift from right to left and about the last-ditchness of it all. Please feel free to email me to tell me all about it. Thanks again.
