Non-conceptual, Self-knowing Awareness.
This is the website of “Sailor” Bob Adamson, who’s search ended one day in 1976 when he was in the presence of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, a much revered Jnani who functioned always from the “natural state”. Nisargadatta told Bob that “the greatest help that can be given to anyone is to take them beyond the need for further help.”
Bob’s site contains writings, information on audio and books, as well as weekly meeting information.

The Natural State
In 2003, John met “Sailor” Bob Adamson, who pointed out our nature of non-conceptual awareness and the absence of the limited self we imagine ourselves to be. With this heart-to-heart sharing, the spiritual search naturally and effortlessly ended. John enjoys sharing the pointers with those who are sincerely interested in self-knowledge and the ending of seeking, suffering and doubt. John lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he works as a technical writer at a company in Silicon Valley.
John’s site contains writings, information on his books, as well as information on consultations.

Nonduality
The story is essentially irrelevant; yesterday’s experiences are yesterday’s experiences. You cannot say the journey began anywhere, you cannot say it ended; you can’t even say that it happened.
Our first meeting with Sailor Bob Adamson was in Melbourne around Baba Muktananda in 1974 and again at Muktananda’s ashram at Ganeshpuri, India in 1976. Some people there were talking about visiting Beedi Baba (Nisargadatta): Bob did, but we travelled south to Arunchala for Shiva Ratri.
Some 30 years later in 2006 we met Bob again. He said “Full stop,” and we heard it clearly and understood.
