Non Duality, End of Spiritual Journey?
June 17, 2014 by
Is Non Duality The End of The Spiritual Journey? by Stephen Williamson I was a spiritual seeker who came across non duality. Reading the books and listening to speakers on non duality, it seemed that in all the speakers and authors there was a revolutionary moment when they ‘got it’, when non duality ceased to be an intellectual theory and became a reality.

WHAT IS THE SECRET TO TIME MANAGEMENT?
June 6, 2014 by
A man stopped at a rural gas station. He stood by his car and he watched a couple of men working along the roadside. One man would dig a hole—three feet deep—and then move on. The other man came along behind and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was about 25 feet behind filling in the old. The men worked right past the fellow and went on down the road. "Hold it, hold it," he said to the men. "Can you tell me what's going on here with this digging?" "Well, we work … [Read more...]
