Synopsis

Practical Advaita
Advaita has been around for a long time, and it has many practitioners and believers. It can be found in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religions. I have read about nondual Islam, Judaism, Christianity and Catholicism.

However, I was seeking an answer to a specific question. How do I look at others and the outside world? Most of what I read was about realizing yourself to be part the One Presence and just to accept that others are a part of the One Presence.

For some reason, I didn’t seem to be getting the second part in a way that was satisfying to me. Perhaps I needed things to be spelled out for me in a simple way.

If that sounds like you, too, this book may be for you.

The answer I found was to recognize that the One Presence (by definition) must be in others, so it is the One Presence I am actually seeing. So, there is no need to judge the appearance of the One Presence. Without judgment, resistance dissolves which reduces inner tension and uncovers greater peace. This book provides some practices/applications for reducing/dissolving judgment.
