Jesus and Advaita Vedanta

Originally posted on dhamma footsteps:
 I didn’t know about Advaita Vedānta when I was a child and only recently discovered there were people like Alan Watts (and others) writing about non-duality in the Christian context, [link to part of the Alan Watts’ essay: This Is It].  Now I’m convinced it is important to focus on the fact that there is something at the heart of Christianity.…

Prediction

The Silent Eye We had the supermoon a few days ago.

The Unseen Sea – 14: The Layers of Me

The Silent Eye Part Fourteen of The Unseen Sea With the flickering of the cottage’s log fire behind her, Maria looks in on her father, snoozing on his bed after their spat. The stone wall – adjacent to the double bed and covered in red hessian – has four pictures on it, arranged in a line. She’s never asked him about them, but they … Read More The Unseen Sea – 14: The Layers of Me
