MESSAGE FROM WAYNE
|
Hello my loves,
The bondage of certainty.
To believe that you know the truth is to live in a prison.
From there there can be no further movement. Perhaps you
know that all is One. Perhaps you know you do not exist or
that everything is an illusion. All you are convinced you
know is true are the shackles that restrict your ability to
live freely.
It IS the way of things. But occasionally comes the courage
to escape.
A crack opens in the cell wall and you dig through it toward
the light beyond. It is however a narrow passage and to squeeze
through it you must leave everything behind.
To walk naked in a world where most everyone else is clothed
takes courage indeed.
May it find you now.
With love
Wayne

Seeing Who You Are
A Talk with Wayne October 24, 2009
A lovely discussion with a different flavor than the
ones you may be familiar with. It is in fact quite a
lively and insightful discussion of faith, of harmony,
of looking at one's experience as a function of the
whole, and at why 'knowing it' isn't 'it.'

ENLIGHTENMENT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK
by Wayne Liquorman
Enlightenment is not what you think but rather the
ultimate, unimaginable dissolution into all that IS.
Finally, a book has come along that may help to dispel
some of the more persistent myths surrounding Enlightenment
and Enlightened people! With his typical good humor,
Wayne shines a bright, clear light on the subject, helping
us to understand not only what Enlightenment isn't but
encouraging us to realize directly and intuitively the
Truth of Enlightenment itself.
This is an important book. With Grace, it could be
the last one in your spiritual library.
"Wayne's teaching is part of the alluring and
enduring tradition of spiritual enquiry in which the
question is always more important than the answer, and
in which the love and immeasurable patience of the teacher
are what heal the wounds of the seeker." John Strydom,
Clinical Psychologist
"Wayne skillfully dispels the illusion that Consciousness
is something other than who you already are." Matthew
Flickstein, Film Producer

WITH ONE VOICE -
Awaken To The Reality That Unites Us All - DVD
This is a visually beautiful, professionally produced,
78 minute long documentary about mysticism and mystical
teachings. It features about a dozen teachers from various
traditions (Wayne among them) talking about the Unity
that underlies everything. It's primary value to those
of you receiving this newsletter would be in introducing
the mystical context of the Teaching in a mainstream,
non-threatening, feel-good way to people who have no
idea what it is you are interested in. It is not really
an explication of the Living Teaching but it might help
you explain to your loved ones a little bit about the
teachings of non-duality.

A
LIVING GEM FROM RAMESH
(never before published)
|
When the understanding happens to deepen itself, compassion
and love begin to come to the surface in our daily lives.
Others seem to notice the difference and are surprised. When
it is realized that our lives are really being lived and that
"we" do not live, that it is Consciousness which
functions through all the billions of human mechanisms (and
all animal mechanisms) the perspective to life changes inexorably.
|
WORDS FROM THE
HEART |
Dear Wayne,
After years of reading and practices, it is indeed a blessing
to find a living guru. Your teaching has hit the mark and
grace may deepen the understanding.
R.T.
