Right Now, Just As It Is
My Substack offers an open, down-to-earth, contemplative exploration of present experiencing from a nondual perspective. It involves questioning all beliefs and certainties, seeing through thought-generated suffering and confusion, and discovering the indivisible wholeness and ungraspable unresolvability of what is. My Substack articles also include occasional information about new podcasts, books, events and anything else I have going on or wish to share.
The subscription is free, and every new article I write goes directly to your inbox:
I’m a writer and lifelong explorer of what is. I’ve given talks and held meetings with people since 1996. My background includes Zen and other forms of Buddhism; Advaita; bare-bones, nontraditional mediation and contemplative inquiry; radical nonduality; as well as addiction recovery, somatic work and visual arts. I've worked with many different teachers, Toni Packer being the one I consider my main teacher. All of them have encouraged me to do the work I've been doing, and I knew that I had to do it independently of any particular lineage or tradition, and without thinking of myself as a teacher or calling myself one. In my view, we’re all in it together as the many unique and unrepeatable movements of a single, undivided ocean.
