The Nonduality Highlights -
Scott Kiloby has announced
the new series of Living Realization meetings. These live
online meetings are based on the revised Living Realization
e-book. They will take place with easy-to-use webcam technology.

Scott is developing a different format, while attempting to
provide more direct benefit to people. The new format includes
three different meeting groups including the Awareness Group, the
Inseparability Group, and the Middle Way Group. These groups are
designed to help Scott meet people where they are. Scott invites
you to experience this new approach and really dig in and see for
yourself the value of it!
A message from Scott Kiloby (the creator of LR):
“Many teachings invite people to turn
away from the content of their lives. My new approach invites us
to go through the specific content of our lives, using it as the
doorway to freedom. This new approach is more personal and allows
for very specific inquiry and dialoguing.
I am moving away from the common satsang format where the teacher
speaks to a group and everyone just listens. The new meetings
will involve that format to a smaller degree. I am working to
develop more innovative, ‘hands-on’ ways of meeting
people where they are and having them participate more directly.
This new way includes a three-group model, specific dialoguing
between myself and those at the meeting, and branching off into
private, one-on-one sessions in between meetings for deeper, more
directed inquiry.
My basic reminder to: A.) Recognize awareness throughout the day,
B.) let all appearances be as they are and C.) see that all
appearances are inseparable is still at the forefront of the
Living Realization meetings. However, I've adding more
specific inquiry that helps one break through the sense of
oscillating between the recognition of awareness and the sense of
separation (The I've got it/I've lost it syndrome). I've
also added the Unfindable Object Inquiry to these meetings, which
is a tool that actively looks into the empty nature of phenomena
instead of turning or withdrawing away from it. Turning away from
appearances or the world assumes that the appearances and the
world are separate from awareness (perhaps the biggest duality of
all). My addition of the Middle Way moves us away from
absolutistic ideas about nonduality and awareness, so that
nonduality is experienced as less of a viewpoint or philosophy
and more of our actual, everyday experience, which includes being
in the world in every way, not just "free of
it."
