Fully Present

This beautiful and illuminating year-long diary is from one of the clearest and most direct nonduality teachers of our day. These intimate entries include everything from the enjoyment of good food and advice to seekers from around the globe to bad days at work and to why meditation and spiritual practices will not help you in the least with self-realization. . Stevens delves into such vital questions as What is enlightenment and the natural state? What is true inner peace? What is creativity? and What is yoga and how does it relate to nonduality/Advaita?. . The author also engagingly ruminates about the seasons (particularly the sweltering Carolina summers) his chronic insomnia the possible ending of his relationship with his girlfriend and the unchanging state of deep peace and spaciousness that he awakened to four years ago. That awakening led him to both start his nonduality blog (Radiance of Being: A Blog on Nonduality) and to write his first book A Vastness All Around: Awakening to the Natural State.
