Shining in Plain View'
272p. ISBN 0-9547792-6-6
John Wheeler attracts a growing audience of seekers who are moving beyond traditional spiritual disciplines towards direct understanding. This book contains further dialogues and correspondence in the style of John’s first book ‘Awakening to the Natural State’ (also published by Non-Duality Press). The emphasis is on pure non-duality (or Advaita), which points directly to the true nature of the one who is seeking. This approach reveals what is real and true about who we are and clearly exposes the false ideas and beliefs that generate doubts, problems and suffering. The result, as shown in the dialogues in this book, is that those who are willing to explore these pointers come to a direct experience of freedom and the end of seeking and suffering. “Thoughts, perceptions and feelings come and go, but you remain. What is the nature of that ‘you’ that you are? You are that right now. Understand this clearly and you will know what needs to be known. It is nothing that you can see, observe or grasp, because you are singular. How could you see, observe or grasp yourself – as something apart? And yet you are most tangibly present and aware. This is utterly beyond doubt. What is this ‘no thing’ that is present and brightly aware? It is the most important fact of our experience, but how many of us have probed into this question to discover the answer? This sums up the entire approach. If you apply yourself to seeing this for yourself, you will have the understanding you are looking for – in no time.” After many years of involvement in various spiritual paths, John Wheeler met “Sailor” Bob Adamson (a student of Nisargadatta Maharaj) on a trip to Australia in 2003. In short order, Bob cleared up John’s doubts and questions and pointed out to him the fact of our real nature; self-shining, ever-present awareness. He has encouraged John to share this understanding of ‘who we really are’ in a more public way and John is currently hosting talks in the United States in Santa Cruz, California.
