Advaita and nondual teachings are about finding the Truth. This Truth is not a dogma that you study; it is the Truth about life -- the Truth about who you really are. This Truth is discovered, not learned. It is discovered through sincerely inquiring, Who am I? What you discover is that who you are has nothing to do with self-images or roles and everything to do with what you experience when you ask this question. What you discover is that who you think of yourself as is just that -- a thought! And beyond that thought is a great Mystery -- an experience of nothingness, which is your true nature. Nothing Personal leads you to the experience of your true nature and helps you explore its depth. Through exposition, questions and dialogues, it brings you to a place of realization of the Truth: you are that spacious Awareness in which everything appears, including your thoughts and feelings. Your thoughts and feelings do not define you but merely appear within Consciousness along with everything else. This Consciousness is who you are. Nothing Personal offers a gentle and persistent guide to seeing the underlying truth of your ultimate nature.
