Alexander Duncan began his quest for the ultimate spiritual philosophy in 1964, at the age of ten, when his grade 4 teacher called him a "superstitious fool." Over a period of 48 years this... More > quest involved him in everything from astrology to Vodun.

Wei Wu Wei is the great undiscovered treasure in the philosophy of NonDuality.
Wei Wu Wei's influence, while never widespread, has been profound upon many of those who knew him personally: Lama... More > Anagarika Govinda, Dr. Hubert Benoit, John Blofeld, Douglas Harding, Robert Linssen, Arthur Osborne, Robert Powell and Dr. D. T. Suzuki. as well as upon many who have read his works, including Ramesh Balsekar.
His attitude adopted towards his writings is perhaps best indicated by the following quote from an introductory note to 'Open Secret' (Hong Kong University Press, 1965).
“ The writer of these lines has nothing whatsoever to teach anyone; his words are just his contribution to our common discussion of what must inevitably be for us the most important subject which could be discussed by sentient beings."

Nonduality is a hard concept to grasp at first.
The most fundamental proposition is that ”I" exist, and all else in the universe is”not I". Our conditioned awareness also... More > expresses itself as a judgmental spectrum with negative at one pole and positive at the other. In other words, our dualistic viewpoint -- which we take for granted -- is at the root of our divisiveness, dissatisfaction, and conflicting values; in short, of our unhappiness.

These four texts from the Hindu tradition clearly delineate the One Reality, That-Which-Is.< Less

Carl Jung wrote of Ramana: “Sri Ramana is a true son of the Indian earth. He is genuine and, in addition to that, something quite phenomenal. In India he is the whitest spot in a white space. What we find in the life and teachings of Sri Ramana is the purest of India; with its breath of world-liberated and liberating humanity, it is a chant of millenniums.”
The core of Ramana’s teachings are presented herein; also included are three Ramana classics: Who Am I?, Self Enquiry, and Spiritual Instruction.< Less
