Terrence Non-Duality

Send us Fan Mail The reason as human beings that we hang on to the concept or idea of a God is only because we believe we are separate.  If God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscience where do you exist?  Outside of that?  As young children, we develop a seeming sense of a separate self which too is a concept. The I am is always there, even when overlaid with thoughts, language that are all sym...

Send us Fan Mail The mind is not conscious, its not possible. The experiencing never comments, ever. Its the mind that steps in and makes a big story about it. There is not a me, and mind. The me is the mind!  There is not an ego, a me and a mind.  Its all mind, all of it.  There is not me the seeker, and the mind, and consciousness and awareness. The seeker is only the mind.  The mind that you ca...

Send us Fan Mail Its always now, and that is the reality.  Everyone experiences that, we just miss it.  When is it not now, when could it possibly be not now?   How much do we understand about duality? We are all trying to find non-duality but what can we tell about duality?  Understand that speech is just verbalised thought.   Excerpt from Virtual Satsang with Terrence Stephens.

Send us Fan Mail  You are always and only here.  Where do we usually go, other than just here… into the story.  We become slightly unconscious, which then creates the dream, the same thing happens when you put your head on the pillow at night.  First thing that happens is you become unconscious of your immediate surroundings.  The dream kicks in when you are  completely unconscious of the immediat...

Send us Fan Mail For any kind of experiencing to be happening one must be conscious,  but the feeling of a me that is arising presently, is not the me.  We expect this feeling to go because we have attributed it to a me all our life.   Lets call it an energy, what is it trying to tell you.  It’s a calling home, we have rejected the feeling all our life, believing it was the me centre.  Dive into i...

Send us Fan Mail In the sleeping dream the character seems real, but what is going on in the dream is just happening.   Do you think it is in charge of the dream, or itself and what is going on there?  It is not in charge, but it will tell you it is. It all just happens. In the dream, the awake character disappears, its gone, and another one arises in the sleeping dream. Come to see what is actual...

Send us Fan Mail Its already here, where else would it be?  There is only here, there is only now, all the time.  From that premise, we start to identify what we are not, instead of I am a person and now I am going to discover who I really am.  The only place duality arises, is in the mind of a human being, Outside of this, there is no such thing as duality. It is only the mind that says, “I am a...

Send us Fan Mail What’s  not just happening?  The aim of that particular pointer is to eliminate the seeming doer.  There is not a me that is trying to make stuff happen, or not make stuff happen, or trying to see that everything is just happening.  All that too, is just happening.    Excerpt from Virtual Satsang with Terrence Stephens.

Send us Fan Mail What Can A Mind Actually Experience? A thought can’t be conscious of this, it cant experience this here now.  Mind can only see now as an increment, why, because mind works dualistically.  Now cant be recognised or experienced  by a me.  Me is nothing but word, a concept.  A word is just a label,  all words, are just labels. Then what mind does, because of the way  mind works, dua...

Send us Fan Mail All there ever is, is now.  There is no such thing as the past, no such thing as a future.  This now is recreating itself now, constantly. Everything is bursting into existence right now.  Everything we think we know, is based on an assumption, not a fact, an assumption, or a belief.  If there is only now, what can you compare now with.  Direct experience is always just now.  Anyt...

Send us Fan Mail It feels like awareness is in the body, the truth is, its literally everywhere. This seeming personal me that you take yourself to be, must be seen to be an imposter.  When you are stuck in your me, that seems like a tall order because me absolutely feels like it here.   Its right there, that awareness and consciousness becomes finite. Do we really have any idea how profound consc...

Send us Fan Mail The whole personal self only arises in mind as concept. It's only thoughts. The spiritual seeker is the mind trying to arrive at Consciousness and Awareness, but it can't because it can't experience anything. If all of a sudden you had amnesia, if your complete back story was gone, what remains?  - Terrence Excerpt from Virtual Satsang with Terrence Stephens. For mo...

Send us Fan Mail How can a thought be conscious?  It's so easy to overlook the fact that thoughts aren't aware.  So what is thought basing its story on?  It's pure fabrication, like a dream at night.  The personal 'me' will never get this.  Don't go to the mind (thought) for answers.  Just don't go there.  Full Stop!  - Terrence Excerpt from Virtual Satsang with...

Send us Fan Mail Trust your Direct Experience, not mind. You don't need mind to know your Direct Experience.  As you observe Direct Experience you'll eventually lose interest in the mind and you'll become interested in 'This' - Awareness.  You are 'This'  - Terrence Excerpt from Virtual Satsang with Terrence Stephens. For more information www.terrencestephens.com...

Send us Fan Mail The me becomes a seeker, trying to find your actual self.  This awareness that we are all experiencing right here, right now, is not the me experiencing that.    Excerpt from Virtual Satsang with Terrence Stephens.

Send us Fan Mail What can you tell me about the immediacy of now?  What can you possibly compare now to?  Mind makes up a past and future, show me something from the past, or the future. In the absolute now, the mind is in abeyance. Become aware of the mind that overlays a big story about now. Excerpt from Virtual Satsang with Terrence Stephens. For more information www.terrencestephens.com.au or...

Send us Fan Mail In this recording we look at the question “Who am I”  “What am I”   There is an assumption that there is a me, a person here and we have never even investigated, we’ve never really looked.  What goes with the idea that I am a person, is that I have free will.  We look at thoughts and investigate how all seeming problems arise in the mind. Excerpt from Virtual Satsang with Terrence...
