A blog on the natural state of being-awareness by Nathan Spoon. If you assume that you are a someone, this someone is only a pretending character. Direct investigation right here and now can reveal that this character has no actual basis or existence within this which presently and always IS.
Meetings on Nonduality
"The pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya, can be reached by meditation, contemplation and other spiritual disciplines such as a knower of Brahman may prescribe--but never by subtle arguments."

Nathan & Jamie
"The person without discrimination is like a frog in a well; just as the frog in the well does not know anything either of good or of bad and so dies in its ignorance in the well itself, in the same way human beings, vainly born in Brahmanda do not know either good or bad regarding themselves and are born only to die in ignorance."
--Tripura Rahasya
"Realization takes time to steady itself. The Self is certainly within the direct experience of everyone but not in the way people imagine. One can only say that it is as it is. Just as incantations or other devices can prevent fire from burning a man when otherwise it would do so, so vasanas (inherent tendencies impelling one to desire one thing and shun another) can veil the Self when otherwise it would be apparent. Realization takes time to steady itself. Spasmodic Realization is not enough to prevent re-birth, but it can not become permanent as long as there are vasanas."
