I found out that their office is only 2 hours driving distance south of Brisbane. Thanks to Rakesh from Mumbai, India, an expert in this field, for helping over the last three weeks to configure this site. He is still doing some fine-tuning in the chat module. It is based on Rocket Chat. The transmission is very fast.

Without such a thought-based, believed-in reference point, it would be clear that the knowing happens happily in a referenceless, centreless field of awareness. That's why most 'teachings' question this reference point first. The recognised absurdity of such a believed-in separate entity naturally reveals the boundless nature of awareness in which all appearances come and go. The ocean is aware of itself - with and without waves. Thinking that we are a separate wave is obviously silly. In that case, God plays being silly. mrnibelheim An insightful observation, thank you, Dietrich! How would you distinguish between experiences which have and do not have a reference point? Could you maybe give me some examples to inquire into for myself?? Dietrich Experiences with and without a reference point (me) are perceived by the same consciousness that everyone is. However, the (self-imposed) identification with the action figure 'me' distracts from this fact. Once the distraction has lost its attraction, this fact is clear. So the difference is clear seeing versus blindness. The experiences may be similar in both cases (say washing dishes). In the first instance, it is seen that boundlessness expresses itself in the act of washing dishes whereas in the second scenario an independent entity is believed to wash the dishes. In the first case, there is fulfilment, both regarding the sensing of boundlessness and regarding the perceiving of a playful expression as a fleeting flavour of boundlessness. In the first case, everything is fused with an underlying sense of welcoming. In the second case, experiences contain domineering elements of desire and resistance (I'd rather go to the movies) because of the inherent frustration of relating everything to a limited, seemingly disconnected me. ...
