The dialogues contained in this book are a testimony to 'Sailor' Bob Adamson's wisdom and clarity in action. Bob's words always go to the heart of matter. They are uncompromising and direct pointing to the fact of our own being. His words are filled with warmth, energy, clarity and humour. His teaching is the essential message of non-duality presented in the most direct and clear terms.

The Nonduality Spiel has evolved during Bob’s 45 years of (incredibly effective and fruitful) mentoring. It contains many deep and profound descriptions; it is like a bag full of pointers.

Countless have passed beyond the need for further help by fully waking up from the nightmare of being separate individuals! Many of them ...

What you are in essence is self-shining, pure intelligence. The very idea of shining implies a movement. Movement is energy. I call it 'pure intelligence energy'. It is shining through your eyes. You cannot say what it is, and you cannot negate it either. It is 'no thing’. It cannot be objectified. It ever expresses as that living, vibrant sense of presence, which translates through the mind as the thought 'I am'. The primary thought 'l am' is not the reality. It is the closest the mind or thought can ever get to reality, for reality to the mind is inconceivable. It is no thing. Without ...

Living in a Silent Mind is about experiencing the peace of mind and clarity of thought that give rise to harmonious living. Being imprisoned by a persona that identifies as thoughts causes suffering; this psychological and emotional pain is most people’s lived reality.

I've written this book for the beginner's mind, describing fundamental truths ...
