“You are always awake, but you are not always consciously awake. In fact, you are rarely consciously awake. And because you’ve been unconsciously awake for thousands of years in the DNA and softer conditioning associated with the body you thought you were, you’ll fall right back into unconsciousness if you don’t consistently and actively nourish it with conscious light.
You have to be willing to shine truth, even when you don’t feel like yourself, even when you don’t want to, on things you’d rather leave in the dark. You must hold nothing back. Willingness is your bridge into being the shining on an ongoing basis. You give yourself to the light fully, or you don’t give yourself at all. “

In this episode, Fred Davis talks about Spiritual Awakening, Non-dual reality, love, and more…
Fred Davis is a spiritual un-teacher. He studied and practiced Eastern wisdom for twenty-five years prior to 2006, when seeking ended, and his true awakening began. He is the creator and editor of Awakening Clarity Now.com. Fred Davis says he has Nothing to offer.
He is also the author of five books, including the non-dual bestsellers Awaken Now: The Living Method of Spiritual Awakening, The Book of Undoing: Direct Pointing to Non-dual Awareness, and Beyond Recovery: Non-duality and the Twelve Steps.
Fred’s The Living Method of Spiritual Awakening is a process of nondual inquiry, investigation, and direct pointing that encourages immediate recognition and acceptance of our shared true nature, Oneness. Following recognition, The Living Method then helps to orient and clear the seeker-become-finder.

Fred has worked with people from all the major traditions: Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Transcendental Meditators and Zen practitioners, as well as people with no allegiance to any religion or sect at all. More than a thousand people on six continents have found the door to freedom using The Living Method, which has roots in both Eastern spirituality and Western philosophy.
