Notes from Danny

Self-being in principle is free from the limitation of forms. It is universally open and in the openness everything happens naturally. No choices are made. There is a matter of course knowing and happening. Only a limited self makes choices. It's only an illusion to think that you are the master of life. In self-being it's clear what needs to be done. I myself am free and life lives itself.

Come back to turning within, bring the attention back to the origin and return to the infinite relaxation, in openness and clarity. If the relaxation continues endlessly then the 'I'-person disappears. All structures and patterns fall away. Experience clearly and internally the groundless openness, without borders, without duality.

Self-being is the first person, you are that. It is universal and without separations. There is nothing more natural than relaxed presence. It is your intrinsic nature. Return home to the relaxed state without separations. The 'I'-center is no longer. You see the clouds and you are the clouds. Self-being seems to be universal.

When the center-focused forces dissolve, the ego falls away. The feeling and the consciousness become free.  In the further opening, there's no grasping any longer. Everything is loose and free.  Recognize that. It is about an awareness of what has always been there. When you look more expansively, then you see the illusion of the 'I' and the importance of that which you once found to be important. Experience the feeling of becoming totally open. Then that process continues further. Stay in your highest lucidity in order to determine that.

The return of attention to the origin, in the coming open, in wholeness, it is clear. This reality of self is the reality. This is the reality. This is freedom without the presence of a person.  This direct insight is what it is about.

It is immediately obvious. You immediately see it when something attracts your attention. You see through the relativity of things. If forms come, they are free. They have no magic power any longer to catch you, they can't tempt you anymore. You see through the illusion of forms. Forms and structures no longer have you in their grip. You are free.


Er is geen tweeheid

als je ontspannen bent
in zelf-bewustzijn
is dat duidelijk.

  • Management en non-dualiteit

    In bedrijven en organisaties is meer aandacht gekomen voor de oriëntatie op samenhang, eenheid, heelheid, ongescheidenheid, kortom: non-dualiteit. Wat betekent deze ‘niet-tweeheid’ en op welke wijze kan zij in het eigen werk en in de organisatie doorwerken? Deze vragen staan in dit boek centraal.

  • Pranayama

    Dit boek is een praktische handleiding bij het beoefenen van pranayama. Alle onderdelen van de traditionele pranayama komen hierbij aan bod.

  • Non-dualiteit - de grondeloze openheid

    Non-dualiteit is niet-tweeheid (Sanskriet: a-dvaita), de afwezigheid van scheidingen. Deze openheid vormt de kern van elke spiritualiteit en mystiek. Maar wat is non-dualiteit nu precies? Daarover gaat het nieuwe boek van Douwe Tiemersma. In zijn vorige boeken stond de non-dualiteit ook al centraal, maar nu laat hij stap voor stap zien wat non-dualiteit in de eigen ervaring betekent. Iedereen blijkt die ervaring te kennen en te waarderen.
