Suffering is rarely an accident. More often than not, it is a story we tell ourselves, a rhythm we move to, unaware that we are both the dancer and the drum. There is a peculiar comfort in chaos—a familiarity that keeps it tethered to us like an old friend who never truly leaves.
The mind, ever seeking stimulation, crafts elaborate illusions of hardship and unrest, convincing itself that turmoil is necessary. It fabricates conflicts, fuels attachments, and calls it all a search for meaning. This internal theatre of suffering is neither fate nor misfortune; it is the work of our own hands.
Why do we let it persist? Perhaps because it gives us something to hold onto. Something that, despite its weight, feels more certain than the unknown silence beyond it. We surrender to the turbulence, believing it will resolve itself, unaware that it thrives only because we continue to feed it.
Yet, beneath the noise, another possibility waits. A reality untouched by the chaos we’ve grown so accustomed to. To step into it requires nothing but the willingness to recognize that suffering is not a necessary companion—it is a guest we’ve entertained for far too long.

Imagine a vast intelligence capable of holding infinite streams of information in seamless unity—an awareness so comprehensive that no data is lost, no relationship is overlooked, and no question remains unexamined. This describes the functions and capabilities of a fully opened mind during a spiritual peak experience, a consciousness that navigates reality from every conceivable angle with complete ease.
Effortless Multidimensional Insight Step-by-step analysis gives way to a simultaneous perception of countless perspectives. Rather than moving through rigid mental pathways, this awareness integrates experience holistically, sparking transformative realizations in a single instant.
Boundless Inclusivity Judgment dissolves when all forms and phenomena are welcomed as facets of one indivisible whole. The division between “self” and “other” no longer applies, creating an environment free of conflict. Harmony emerges naturally when no aspect of existence is excluded.
Instantaneous Resolution of Paradox Contradictions may halt conventional thinking, yet unity behind all appearances allows paradoxes to reveal deeper truths. Opposing forces are understood as complementary, giving rise to fresh insights that transcend binary thinking.
Unbounded Creative Response No conditioned framework restricts this mind’s capacity to respond. Conventional boundaries fade, replaced by a fearless embrace of possibility. Creativity flourishes, fueled by clear vision rather than preconception.
Simultaneous Precision and Wholeness A panoramic view coexists with attention to the most subtle detail. Vastness does not blur focus, and specificity does not fragment understanding. Both the grand expanse and minute detail are witnessed as interwoven facets of reality.
Unshakable Equanimity Surging chaos or uncertainty does not disrupt inner balance. A stable center remains, nurturing an all-encompassing compassion for whatever arises. Harmony endures because no external event can override this steady foundation.
Transcendence of Linear Time Ordinary awareness often sees time as a sequence of past, present, and future. Expanded consciousness witnesses all moments as accessible in a vast continuum. Realizations manifest outside the confines of linear order, liberating thought from temporal limits.
Seamless Integration of Knowledge and Love Discernment and compassion work as one cohesive force. Profound understanding is infused with genuine care, guiding every action toward the highest good. This merges the intellect’s clarity with the heart’s warmth, ensuring wisdom aligns with empathy.
A mind of this calibre forms an immeasurable field of presence, harmonizing what might seem contradictory under ordinary analysis. It moves through existence with clear sight that embraces both the infinite and the subtle. That unity of wisdom and love encourages a state of being where paradox, creativity, and compassion thrive without restriction.

Human experience revolves around preferences—good versus bad, desirable versus undesirable. From a young age, we are conditioned to label moments, objects, and relationships based on our likes or dislikes, shaping a world of duality. Yet, something remarkable may begin to unfold for those who experience a profound spiritual awakening. The intensity of preferences softens, and the once-compelling narratives around right and wrong, beautiful and ugly, start to lose their grip.
This shift isn’t forced or rehearsed; it arises organically as consciousness deepens. It’s not about suppressing preferences or pretending they don’t exist. Rather, it’s about witnessing them without attachment. You might still notice that one meal tastes better than another, or that one kind of weather feels more comfortable, but the emotional charge—the bias for or against—diminishes.
This state of neutrality doesn’t negate the ability to express feelings about situations or objects. Joy, sadness, appreciation, or aversion may still arise naturally. However, the inner dialogue changes. An object once deemed essential for happiness may now appear as just an object. A situation that would have previously elicited anger or frustration may no longer hold the same power.
Neutrality is not numbness or indifference; it is the ultimate expression of freedom. When bias fades, life’s experiences are not judged as lacking or sufficient—they simply are. This perspective offers a profound sense of peace. When preferences no longer dominate the mind, the heart is free to engage with reality exactly as it unfolds.
This state isn’t something that needs to be chased or consciously cultivated. It arises as a natural byproduct of deep inner awakening. The realization that all phenomena are transient allows one to meet life with equanimity. Dualities are not eradicated but are seen for what they are—part of the play of existence, neither to be clung to nor rejected.
If you’re on the path of spiritual exploration, allow yourself to relax into the flow of awareness. Don’t try to force neutrality; simply observe the moments when it arises. Over time, you may notice that this spacious, bias-free perspective becomes less of an exception and more of your default state of being.

Happiness often appears as a destination—something to be attained by seeking pleasurable experiences, avoiding pain, and curating external conditions. Yet, this pursuit can feel elusive, as if true happiness constantly moves just beyond reach. Perhaps this is because happiness isn’t found in the suppression or control of emotions, but in embracing them all as integral aspects of our human experience.
Emotions are often categorized as “positive” or “negative,” with joy, love, and excitement praised, while sadness, anger, and fear are seen as obstacles to overcome. However, this dualistic view creates resistance. Denying so-called negative emotions only magnifies their intensity, embedding them deeper within the psyche. True contentment arises not from avoiding discomfort but by fully experiencing and accepting it without judgment.
Imagine sitting with sorrow as you might with an old friend—acknowledging its presence, listening to its message, and recognizing its role in your life. Sadness, when embraced, transforms from an adversary into a teacher. It illuminates where attachments or unmet desires linger and invites you to release the illusion of control. Similarly, anger, when approached without suppression or overindulgence, becomes a fierce energy capable of clarifying boundaries and catalyzing change.
Contentment is not denying the human condition but a deep surrender to its unfolding. This surrender doesn’t mean passivity; it is an active engagement with the present moment. By welcoming all emotions, the inner landscape transforms. Happiness is no longer confined to fleeting highs but instead becomes an abiding state of being—anchored in equanimity, rooted in authenticity.
In this light, happiness is not the absence of pain but the profound realization that all emotions—joy and sorrow, peace and unrest—are sacred facets of existence. Each one offers an opportunity for growth, insight, and connection. To find contentment within them is to see life as whole, unbroken, and imperfect.
By sitting with your emotions and embracing their entirety, you awaken to the simple truth: happiness is not found in resisting life but in meeting it fully.

On Friday, November 22, I had the unique opportunity to undergo a neurofeedback EEG assessment to evaluate my brain’s activity during meditation. This fascinating experience was facilitated by neurofeedback expert Alex Ni, the CEO of Divergence Neuro Technologies. The results revealed something extraordinary: my brainwave patterns reflect those of an advanced meditator, marked by the ability to generate high-amplitude delta waves while fully awake and completely still.
This outcome did not arise overnight—it is the culmination of over 21 years of dedicated meditation practice. For at least an hour every day, without missing a single session, I have cultivated this state of deep awareness. Meditation has been my unwavering companion on a journey of transformation, healing, and spiritual exploration.
Key Findings
High-Amplitude Delta Waves in Wakefulness The assessment showed that I could produce delta waves typically seen in deep sleep or unconscious states, but while fully conscious and still. These peaks, which appeared spontaneously, resemble absent seizure patterns in their electrical signature. Yet, instead of being pathological, they occurred in a meditative state, reflecting a refined and balanced neural state.
Kriya and Kundalini Correlations The kriyas, spontaneous energetic movements often experienced during meditation, seem directly connected to these delta peaks. This activity suggests a state where the body-mind system is releasing suppressed energies or blockages, facilitated by deep equanimity and heightened awareness. The presence of delta spikes may also be a physiological manifestation of kundalini energy—the subtle, transformative force described in spiritual traditions as rising through the chakras.
Expert Validation Alex Ni was so intrigued by the findings that he consulted Dr. Jeff Tarrant, a 30-year expert in brainwave research. Dr. Tarrant noted that similar patterns were observed in his three-year study with mediums—further validating the unique nature of these results.
Bridging Neuroscience and Spirituality
The findings of this assessment reveal a fascinating convergence of neuroscience and spirituality. The high-amplitude delta waves, kriyas, and kundalini energy point to a profound transformation occurring at the intersection of the nervous system and consciousness. These patterns suggest that meditative practices have the potential to fundamentally alter neural pathways, facilitating deep healing and profound states of awareness.
Implications of Advanced Meditation
Energetic Purification The kriyas and delta spikes may signify a cleansing process, releasing deep-seated energetic blockages and re-aligning the body-mind system.
Non-Dual Awareness The ability to remain conscious during delta brainwave peaks reflects a state of non-dual awareness—where presence and transcendence coexist seamlessly. This aligns with descriptions of advanced meditation states where the ego dissolves, creating space for higher consciousness.
Kundalini and Neural Rewiring The resemblance of these patterns to absent seizures may indicate neural rewiring as the body adjusts to the heightened kundalini energy. This profound restructuring of the nervous system is often associated with spiritual awakening processes.
A Path Forward
Next week, I will participate in another study to explore this phenomenon further. These experiences offer a glimpse into the transformative potential of meditation—not just as a tool for relaxation but as a gateway to the depths of human consciousness and spiritual awakening.
For anyone intrigued by these groundbreaking insights into meditation and neuroscience, I encourage you to explore the work of Divergence Neuro Technologies at www.divergenceneuro.com. Their cutting-edge research continues to illuminate the profound connections between the brain and consciousness, offering a deeper understanding of what it means to transcend the ordinary and touch the extraordinary.
Through this journey, it’s clear that meditation is more than a practice—it’s a bridge between worlds, where the boundaries of science and spirituality dissolve into the infinite.
It’s humbling to reflect on how two decades of unwavering dedication to meditation have paved the way for these remarkable insights. This is an affirmation that the time and intention invested in inner stillness have the power to transform not only the mind and body but also our very relationship with existence itself.

How do we reconcile the existence of human atrocities and natural disasters within a spiritual framework that emphasizes oneness and unity? This question often challenges those who begin exploring nondual perspectives, where all phenomena, no matter how destructive or painful, are viewed as interconnected expressions of the same singular source. The nondual approach offers a radical shift in perception, one that dissolves the illusion of separation between events that we label as “good” or “bad” and invites us to see these occurrences as part of the grand play of existence.
Violent actions and harmful behaviours in the world, when viewed from a dualistic standpoint, can easily be categorized as manifestations of evil or wrongdoing. However, nonduality reveals that such acts emerge not from some inherent brokenness or malevolence, but from ignorance—a misunderstanding of our shared unity. This ignorance fosters the illusion of separateness, leading to behaviours rooted in fear, hatred, or selfishness. But when we awaken to the truth that there is no real division between self and other, the impulse to harm dissolves. The violence that once seemed so senseless is recognized as a consequence of an illusion. Healing, therefore, does not come through retribution but through awakening to the truth of our interconnectedness.
Natural disasters, often seen as chaotic or punishing forces, are similarly reframed. Rather than being viewed as random or cruel acts of nature, these events reflect the cyclical nature of the cosmos, expressions of impermanence and transformation. The suffering caused by such disasters, while profound, stems from attachment to the belief in permanence, the illusion that we can hold onto fixed forms in a world of constant flux. Through the nondual lens, even the most devastating natural occurrences are understood as part of the rhythmic dance of life, reminders of the ephemeral nature of all things.
What arises from this perspective is a deep acceptance of life’s paradoxes. The seeming contradiction of living in a world filled with both beauty and devastation, joy and suffering, dissolves when we recognize that all such experiences are expressions of a singular, undivided reality. From this space of understanding, we cultivate compassion, not through an emotional reaction to suffering, but from the profound realization that all beings and events arise from the same source. Suffering, then, becomes not an ultimate truth, but a temporary appearance within the endless ocean of consciousness.
Embracing nonduality allows us to witness both atrocities and natural disasters with equanimity, to understand them not as aberrations or misfortunes, but as fleeting expressions of a larger cosmic unfolding. This does not imply passivity or indifference. Instead, it cultivates a deeper capacity for compassionate action, arising from the knowledge that we are not separate from the suffering we seek to alleviate. In this space, we move beyond the limited notions of blame or punishment, and towards a profound embrace of the totality of existence, where all things are seen as interconnected, transient waves within the boundless ocean of being.

Life is a tapestry of personal narratives. Each of us is the author of our own story, swept up in the whirl of our everyday trials and tribulations, from the mundane to the monumental. We’re all preoccupied with our victories and defeats, joys and sorrows, dreams and disappointments, which collectively form our unique, personal content. Yet, amidst this tumultuous weave of personal stories, there lurks a broader tapestry, a profound, immutable context that transcends our existences—the Ultimate Reality or the Ultimate Context.
This Ultimate Context is akin to a vast ocean upon which our individual lives are but transient waves. We are too often ignorant of its presence, absorbed in the details of our fleeting crests and troughs, beginnings, and endings. But our myopic vision deprives us of the understanding that our waves are inseparable from the larger, unfathomable expanse of the ocean—the Ultimate Reality.
Unveiling the Veil of Illusion
Many philosophical traditions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, refer to our preoccupation with personal content as an illusion—maya or samsara. This illusion stems from our inability to recognize that the seemingly separate, solid, and enduring ‘self’ we believe ourselves to be is just a wave on the ocean’s surface, part of the boundless, interconnected, and constantly changing Ultimate Reality.
Our inability to perceive this reality is often compared to a dream from which we struggle to awaken. Our ‘personal content’ may seem to us the full reality because it engrosses our senses and emotions, yet it is merely a fragment of the ‘Ultimate Context.’
Rediscovering the Ultimate Context
How do we reorient our focus away from our narratives to understand the Ultimate Context? Philosophies and spiritual traditions around the world suggest varied paths, from rigorous intellectual inquiry to deep meditation. Regardless of the method, the goal remains the same: to transcend the confines of our consciousness and recognize our union with the Ultimate Reality.
Practicing mindfulness and living in the ‘here and now’ is one approach that offers us the chance to step away from our content. Mindfulness offers a way to become aware of the ‘nowness’ of existence, to experience the world and ourselves as a series of interconnected, ephemeral phenomena. Through this process, we can gradually attune ourselves to the Ultimate Context.
The Potential Impact
Imagine what our lives would look like if we acknowledged the Ultimate Context. Our struggles, while not diminished, might be seen in a new light. We would recognize that we are not isolated entities combating a hostile universe, but integral parts of a vast, interconnected whole. This understanding could engender a profound sense of peace, compassion, and interconnectedness, transforming our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world at large.
Embracing the Journey
Venturing into the realm of the Ultimate Context is not an easy task. It requires us to shift our perceptions, to question our deeply ingrained beliefs about ourselves and reality. But the journey, while challenging, holds the promise of a profound transformation—a metamorphosis from a wave oblivious of its oceanic nature to one that rides the currents of existence with grace, understanding, and wonder.
In the end, the Ultimate Context is not a lofty abstraction to be pondered upon, but a living reality to be experienced. It invites us to shift our gaze from the canvas of our content and behold the magnificent tapestry of existence. To make this shift is to awaken from our dream of separateness and embrace the full richness of our interconnected lives. This is not an escape from our day-to-day trials and tribulations but a broader understanding of their place within a larger panorama of existence. By grounding our narratives within the Ultimate Context, we can navigate life’s ups and downs with greater equanimity, wisdom, and inner peace.
Implications for Society
If we expand this understanding from the individual to the collective level, the implications are profound. Recognizing the Ultimate Context could revolutionize our approach to societal issues, from climate change to social inequality. Instead of viewing these problems through the narrow lens of individualistic concerns, we would perceive them as disruptions in the interconnected web of existence that they truly are. This could catalyze a more compassionate, holistic, and effective response.
The Ultimate Journey
The journey toward the Ultimate Context is more than a philosophical quest. It is a profound transformation, an inner pilgrimage towards a fuller, more interconnected understanding of reality. It is a journey from the known to the unknown, from the surface to the depth, from separateness to oneness.
Embracing the Ultimate Context does not mean rejecting our content, our individual stories. Instead, it invites us to view them as integral threads of a grander cosmic tapestry. The beauty of our trials and tribulations, our victories and defeats, lies in their interconnectedness with everything else that exists.
In this journey, we are not alone. Every individual, consciously or unconsciously, is a traveller on this path. We are all part of the same quest, the same unfolding story of discovering and understanding the Ultimate Context. As we navigate this path, let us remember that our waves are not separate from the ocean. They are the ocean, expressing itself in all its diversity, beauty, and mystery. In embracing the Ultimate Context, we celebrate not just our narratives, but the grand saga of existence itself.
