The only thing that distinguishes our consciousness from 'Pure Unconditioned Consciousness' is our feeling that something 'else' needs to happen before we can be 'complete'/'saved'/'forgiven'... It is this feeling that weaves a web of identity around the stories that our thoughts provide. Without this feeling, thoughts just arise and subside... And the vastness of the Self remains clearly untouched... unstained...

"All this spirituality is only for understanding your true nature. Unless you realise your true nature, there will be no peace for you."

'Self-realisation coaching'
My work is to gently guide the attention of the enquirer to the ever-present nature of the Self – to 'Pure Being'.
I do not claim to be a Master, a Guru or an 'expert'... I do not claim to hold the authority of any spiritual lineage or academic institution.
My work is simply to encourage a dissolution of the story about the self to reveal the Presence of the Self.
I do not rely on any one specific technique.
No 'technique' or 'mechanism' is required for Self-realisation.
Many spiritual traditions are referred to in my work, but ultimately all ideas and teachings must be dropped in order to embrace the fullness of the Self, unconditionally.
The Self is revealing itsSelf at every moment. The awakening to this truth is Self-Realisation. It is not a stage or state to attain... It is eternally taking place. It is all that ever happens.
This is why zen and radical advaita traditions simply refer us back to the present moment, and to the everyday beauty, the mundane, the 'insignificant'... Because it is All Arising in Consciousness Here Now. Consciousness is the Root of All that Is...
Even the question, “What do I need to do to attain Self-realisation?” is just arising spontaneously in Consciousness... and doesn't require an answer...

PEACE
If your are seeking wisdom,
May your mind be open.
If you are a seeker of love,
May love be in your heart.
If you wish to be whole,
May you be inspired in all that you do.
If you are seeking truth,
May you realise the true nature of the Self.
May peace be with you,
If you wish to bring peace into this world.
May your mind be open.
If you are a seeker of love,
May love be in your heart.
If you wish to be whole,
May you be inspired in all that you do.
If you are seeking truth,
May you realise the true nature of the Self.
May peace be with you,
If you wish to bring peace into this world.
