U.G. Krishnamurti should never be confused with Jiddu Krishnamurti, although the two teachers did know each other. Recently, I began exploring what many consider to be U.G. Krishnamurti's seminal book, The Mystique of Enlightenment. 

I am shocked at how many seekers I talk to summarily reject U.G.'s work even though they have almost no clear knowledge of his contribution to the "natural state."

For those of you with a sense of humor, U.G. is always reccomended; he was direct and shockingly refreshing. No candy coating here.

But, I find this book has some very special material in two areas: the strange emergence of "all of the junK' which must surface as we release our beliefs and welcome whatever arises, what U.G. calls the calamity and a brutally honest evaluation regarding the non existence of the seperate self. The clarity of this material is a breath of fresh air.

later, U.G. gets drawn into political opinions which are of little consequence; after all they are beliefs.

In any case, i encourage you to explore his work. Today, we share an article of his. Click here.

 Last Month we released some rare English translated satsang discussions with the late Wolter             Keers for our newsletter subscribers. As many of you now know, Wolter was a friend of Francis Lucille and Jean Klein. Residing in the Netherlands, it is difficult to obtain Wolter Keers direct work. The works we published then, were very popular with our subscribers with many people writing us directly about the work.

For Those of you who missed it, here is a summary on Wolter Keers and his remarkable writings: 

Wolter Keers was one of the first to introduce Advaita Vedanta to the Netherlands. He travelled extensively in India during the 1950's, becoming a disciple of both Ramana Maharshi and Atmananda Krishna Menon. He returned and began teaching in Brussels during the 1970's. In 1977, he founded a publication called Yoga Advaita ( 1977-1982) and, Advaita (1938 to 1985). He was published in The Mountaiun Path, the magazine of the Ramanaashram. He also translated the book entitled, I am That, written by Nisagadatta Maharaj into Dutch.

Who was Paul Brunton?

 "When you awaken to truth as it really is, you will have no occult vision, you will have no "astral" experience, no ravishing ecstasy. You will awaken to it in a state of utter stillness, and you will realize truth was always there within you and that reality was always there around you. Truth was not something which has grown and developed through your efforts. it is not something which has been achieved or attained by laboriously adding up those efforts. it is not something which has to be made more and more perfect each year. And once your mental eyes are opened to truth they can never be closed again."

On his last trip to California, Rupert joined us for a truly unqiue series of talks. During these intimate conversations, we walk thru our  perceptions, sensations, thoughts, images and feelings to uncover the reality of our direct perceptions. This series is remarkable in that they invite the viewer to participate in an experiment in the here and now; we hope they give us clarity regarding our original nature.

Recently, we had an "out of body" experience: while working on StillnessSpeaks, entire entries began to mysteriously disappear. Quickly, we shut down the server, thinking an evildoer was respoonsible. Alas, it was no hacker, it was a metacrrawler who had mysteriously invaded our code and was gleefully disinitegrating blog entries at a furious speed.

One entry which we found to be very helpful was a DVD clip of James Swartz in an interview regarding Moksha, Liberation and Enlightenment..Meet Ramji and see the clip with James Swartz and Chris Hebard
