Already
Awake
Nathan Gill
Nathan is a
rare voice in the world of contemporary spirituality. In these transcripts
of group meetings and one-to-one dialogues he consistently points
out that all prescriptions for escape from the drama of separation actually
serve as its reinforcement.
"What is, right now, is perfection. Presence has not arisen from
the past and is not leading to the future. All appears presently as a
play in awareness"

"For
even the most seasoned Advaita traveller, Nathan's book may be
considered the 'end of the road'. With beautiful simplicity he puts to rest
the hidden duality that seems to reside within even the most profound
expressions of non-duality.
This allows spiritual seeking with all of it's inherent suffering
to come to an end in a truly effortless way.
Nathan's book is clear, simple and profoundly complete. I consider
it to be the highest expression of non-duality available in print."
Amazon.com reviewer.
"After reading Clarity by
Nathan, all Tony Parsons' books, Awakening to the Dream by Leo
Hartong, books by Joan Tollifson, 'Sailor' Bob Adamson, Wayne Liquorman,
Ramesh S. Balsekar and Nisargadatta Maharaj, I wondered if I really needed
to read yet another book. But although 'I've' heard Nathan speak before and
read these books, this book of dialogues is incredible. It gives the
apparent seeker nothing!!!!!!!!!
Every time a questioner assumes that this apparent process has some
importance or has anything to do with the person 'they' think they are,
Nathan consistently and relentlessly rips the rug right from under 'their'
feet. Time and time again we are told, there is already no-one there, it's
just an idea of an 'I', just an appearance, appearing in WHAT you are,
present awareness!
After reading this book there maybe no need for the question 'when
will 'I' get it' the question just seems stupid and redundant!! We are told
there is already no one!! And if this is seen, it undermines the
mesmerisation with the story of a 'me'.
Highly, highly recommended as are Tony's books and Leo's
book!! Absolutely, breathtakingly non-dual, and as direct as 'I've' ever
read it!! "
Amazon.co.uk reviewer.
"This outstanding title
by Nathan Gill is by far the clearest, most direct and to-the-point
book on non-dualism I have ever encountered. (I've read many).
Very engaging and completely without "spiritual" jargon. Simple, down
to earth. Accessible, even for those who may not be familiar with the
subject matter.
A true gem in the realm of advaitist literature."
Amazon.com reviewer.
"Already Awake book is
the clearest exposition of pure Advaita I've read..Nathan point's out
that all prescriptions for escape from the drama of separation
actually serve as its reinforcement.What is right now is
perfection,and when this is recognized the seeking for the marvellous
or for the blissfulness end. If you feel at all drawn to this
awakening, I can't imagine a clearer way to be introduced."
Amazon.com reviewer.
"Nathan Gill's book,
Already Awake, was mind blowing in a beautiful, subtle life changing
way. So much of what is termed Advaita and non-dual teaching (which I
have been steeped in now for over 4 years) has an elitist aspect that
directs people to follow various prescriptions to get somewhere,
purportedly to what is real, beyond the illusions of ego. Previously,
I was wholeheartedly into this approach. Nathan's book so clearly
depicts what is so glaringly obvious, that if one is even in the least
open to the fact that there can be no movement toward or away from
what is, then a deep seeing is just about unavoidable. Ego identified
or not, "awakeness" is not something distant and rare, but is all that
is. This book puts this realization in the most simple and direct
manner. There is not a trace of elitism or self-aggrandizement,
whatsoever. There is a real, warm, open invitation to just see the
obvious and to celebrate everything as the expression of the divine by
the divine as the divine. Nothing and no one is excluded. So many
teachings seem to place themselves above the so-called "ordinary"
people. Nathan does anything but this with his words. The expression
that comes through him is simply the humble beloved embracing, being
all and everyone and everything and being no-thing and no one. I fell
in love with what is, as it is, as I am and seem to be. This is
miraculous and my gratitude is endless."
