It is all in that book. By the way, Nathan Gill gave the book a plug on one of his short videos recently. Get the book and relax into it. Yes Bob’s book is complete. It is all in that book.

Being poor and unable to go and see anyone, there's a book that is simple, clear and if you relax into it it's all there for anyone to find. Bob's book, "Whats wrong with right now unless you think about it?" - one of the most beautiful expressions of this around today. What I've noticed is that with a relaxed mind and the obsessive search eased off and just quietly taking in what this book points out is all thats really needed.

Everything resolves itself naturally. You will be moved to do whatever is necessary. No judgement, no blame. If Bob's accent is difficult, read his books. There are hundreds of ways to advise another and there are no general rules. The easy path is sometimes not the correct path. No path at all is best. Most advice 'out there' implies an entity with the capacity of choosing or doing. Choices happens spontaneously. The story of me is a story. Relax and see how the river flows. Do not worry.

I came into advaita a few years ago, I have read a lot from different people and some times it seems to me contradictory and confusing, there is so much material over the Internet. A few weeks ago I found Sailor Bob and too me he is the one that makes the most sense in the simplest form....although some times it's hard to understand him because I am not used his accent and English is not my first language. My question to you is, does it makes a difference to be in the presence of some one who is awake, or simply by reading his books and listen to the talks would do it? Is it faster in the presence of some one, I ask this because I keep reading that this fellow awoke in the presence of Nisargadatta or Ramana Maharishi, or whoever, should I go to Australia an meet Bob personally? Or is not necessary. It's important for me, all do whatever it takes to wake up from this duality. Truthfully Andrei Thanks for this insightful blog Gilbert.

SPACE. The eye is appearing in space. The eye cannot see the eye. Just behind the eye somewhere, there should be a 'seer' looking through the eye, no? Have a look. The mind will form a 'witness' and that is the mind translating the seeing into the idea of a seer. It is a concept. Obvious. Yes it is radical and apparently threatening, because an idea has no substance you can touch or even find. So where are you seeing from? Keep investigating and keep dropping the reference point (witness) and notice that as soon as you notice it, the reference point is being seen from beyond it. The mind translates this 'new seeing' into another reference point and so on. Keep investigating until it is clearly obvious that you are not any of these concepts about a 'witness'. Then it may dawn naturally upon you, as a natural recognition, that what you are is just like space or even prior to space. Space is a perception....as distance and volume. Identified consciousness is dull and mechanical. Be conscious of consciousness and things change very vividly. These points are not to be found is some satsang. All the popular Satsang teachers keep the seekers trapped by feeding them concepts about 'becoming'. They offer hope to a fictional 'me'. Useless. What is the first thing you see? SPACE.

IT does not need anything outside of itself to know and IT is all inclusive. Everything registers upon THAT and IS THAT. This 'news' robs the believed in entity of any ground to stand on. That is why this direct pointing is not popular. You will not hear of this 'news' from popular teachers unless they have 'heard about it' and they use it to add to their 'story' of being personally enlightened. Who cares?
