With the accelerating growth of Mastery of Meditation, I am also receiving a growing number of emails and requests all of which, unfortunately, is difficult for me to keep up with. I do however try to get to every request, some later than I would like, but the sheer volume makes even that impossible sometimes. So I appreciate your patience and understanding with regard to this.
These days the Pope is visiting the US and it reminded me of a dialogue between Krishnamurti and the then Pope, when they had once met. I don’t recall the dialogue exactly or where I had read it, but it went something like this…
The Pope upon meeting Krishnamurti indicated that he had heard of him as the famous Indian philosopher and then proceeded to ask Krishnamurti exactly who he was?
To which Krishnamurti had replied, "I am nobody."
I don’t recall there was anything more in that dialogue.

The Witnessing Consciousness, or pure awareness without center or sense of separation, is the Reality that all serious spiritual seekers thirst for eventually.
In this non-dual state, all appears as "I", or all is just seen as Oneness. I explained this state in the article, The Miracle of Self-Awareness, I AM ALL, and also discussed it further in the article, Understanding Non-Duality, Hinduism, Buddhism & Enlightenment.

Actually, a reader asked if I could help him understand what all this business of non-duality was all about, as he was not quite sure he was grasping it properly, and as understanding non-duality is absolutely key for real spiritual growth, here is hit number 743.

The Day When My Identification With Anmol Mehta Snapped
Anmol’s Journal: Enlightenment Experiences
Last Wednesday was a day ruled by dark clouds. It was early morning here on the East Coast and I had settled into the early bus on my way to work.

My little desire was fulfilled and soon I found myself staring in awe at the morning which looked like night.
