Louie Wing said, "If you want to know a way in, listen. Cease chasing thoughts around in your mind, cease defining things around you, take a step back and abide in your own clear awareness which precludes all conceptualization. Suspend all your ideas about right and wrong, self and other, cease judging and evaluating things and events and simply perceive the fundamental awareness that precedes, underlies, and succeeds all discrimination. There you will discover the unnamable reality of your own true essence."

Fred asked, "Is there any secret teachings beyond that?"

Louie Wing said, "There have never been any secret teachings. When you cease conceptualization, step back, and abide in your own luminescent awareness, you will discover that it has never been hidden."

~The Flatbed Sutra of Louie Wing by Ted Biringer

Getting Self or God is not characteristic of the unfolding of the desire for nonduality. Recognizing Self or God is. Achieving Self or God is not characteristic of that unfolding. Understanding is. Being nondual isn't. Being is.

~One: Essential Writings on Nonduality by Jerry Katz

There are no definitive doctrines, no absolute truths. In fact, there is nothing to attain. You should not allow my words or anyone's, to come between you and your own fundamental awareness. The best you can hope for from any so-called teacher are clues and hints about which direction to turn.
