Dr. Neil's Spiritual Awakening to Non-Duality

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Neil explores the worlds beneath the root chakra: animal, plant, mineral, molecular, atomic and subatomic. Then he explores above the 6th chakra to the 7th and beyond, in which evolution moves from human to divine, from local non-duality to vast, cosmic non-duality.

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Neil details the personal experiences that shaped his evolution from infancy in the root chakra, tribal belonging in the second, budding individuality in the third, expanding identity with humanity in the fourth, further expansion to identify with the planet in the fifth, and the deepening of mystical experience in the sixth chakra. He explains that most of humanity remains gr...

Send us Fan Mail A few days after the US election, Dr. Neil explores the primary human levels of consciousness: alligator, tribal, individual, soul, and non-dual. He describes their traits and what it may mean for the tribal level to take power for the evolution of consciousness. He suggests that we can engage in activism with a broader and deeper awareness that we are all connected and that our a...

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Neil describes moving his attention between duality and non-duality during daily life as he looks at an object, speaks with someone, or feels something. This simultaneous bounded and unbounded awareness gives him access to blissful states and to subtle sources of knowing. He describes his initial awakening during a migraine and his current experiences of physical pain in the c...

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Neil describes the evolution of human love through the stages (or chakras) of self/other in family love, romantic love, and spiritual devotion. He explores how it opens into non-dual love, where subject/object and space/time disappear into boundless love, a quality of the divine. And he describes his experience of our 30-year relationship as it evolved, for him, into non-dual...

Send us Fan Mail Based on his direct experience, Dr. Neil explores life in the first plane beyond death, where some people travel after dropping their bodies. He describes several friends who recently died and their experiences of traveling through the bardos or planes beyond physical death, revealing common misunderstandings about the astral plane.

Send us Fan Mail Based on his direct experience, Dr. Neil describes his own journey through the stages of death (bardos). He also explores other peoples’ deaths, friends, parents, and his guru, as he follows them through the process of death and rebirth. Because his consciousness is everywhere at once—no near/far, no past/future – he lives here now and at the same time on the other side.

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Neil explores the expansion of his identity from an ego to the soul to the divine. His early, visual, local subject/object non-duality opened out into a vast non-dual reality that includes everything in the galaxy, beyond physical sight and beyond space/time. His current state: I am everything everywhere.

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Neil describes living as a soul, rather than an ego. He says that human beings are part of one soul, the human soul. And there are other soul groups, which is why we resonate with some people. The soul is always there; it’s never not there, even between lifetimes. It’s always becoming, or evolving, as distinct from the being or the unchanging nature of pure awareness or consci...

Send us Fan Mail The start of a 3-part series: Dr. Neil explores the stages of his development from sensory awareness to tribal identity to a separate individual identity with an integrated ego. This then led to transcending his individuality and local sense of self to include more and more aspects of life. His identity kept transcending and including old forms, until he experienced local non-dual...

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Neil distinguishes between sensory knowing and divine knowing or the inner Knower, the source of all knowledge. He discusses knowing with the subtle bodies and doing psychotherapy as a spiritual practice for this. He suggests that there is no part of life that's not directed toward waking up. It all fits together.

Send us Fan Mail A healer redirected Dr. Neil’s attention toward involution, coming into the body before transcending the body. He began to cultivate the lower chakras, which had been denied earlier. This healer taught Dr. Neil how to use a pendulum, which opened his 7th chakra. The “Knower” in him began to see directly into his patients’ bodies and psyches, and his therapy practice changed. His i...

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Neil was first aware of being awake during a past lifetime in India. He recalls his physical birth, and then forgot his awakening to experience the human journey. He learned mystical practices early, but he grew sick and was told by a healer, his first teacher, that he was on the wrong path.
