Hi Robert, I just started watching The Gathering and I'm very thankful. I'll be 76 in a few months and I still struggle to trust myself. In my mind I know, of course, that there is no Santa Claus, yet I find myself still hoping for all the wonderful gifts and thinking that I'm not one of the lucky ones.Your books are a precious consolation.

Always like your take on things Robert. Pre conceptual Awareness is the only personal “truth” I “know”. That gives me no answers except that I am Here Now. Thanks for being there.

P.S. In part 2 of "The gathering" you talked about spiritual teachers as being motivated by making money and therefore never telling followers they had nothing to teach. When I went to see Ramesh Balsekar in Mumbai for the second time he said to me: "Why did you come here again? I have nothing to say. Just let your life flow". Nobody was asked to pay to see him, no admission fee, no signing up for anything, you just showed up at his home any morning between 9.30 and 12.30, 365 days a year, and just sat down in his small living room and asked your question if you had one, or listened to Ramesh answering anyone else's questions. Simple.Free.

That's why one day I felt so much gratitude. And I thank you too, Robert, for sharing your ideas and work freely.That' rare and that's why I call it precious.

I don't know much about, Ramesh, Marina. That advice he gave sounds like something I might say. Let's give him a thumbs up. lol

Of course his “disciple” Wayne Liquorman charges an outrageous amount of money for attending talks and retreats.Advaita and Nonduality have become huge businesses, just like you often say.Money makes spirituality go round!
