Nondual Love
Awakening to the Loving Nature of Reality
A. H. Almaas
- From
- beloved
- author
- and
- teacher
- A.
- H.
- Almaas,
- an
- exploration
- of
- love
- beyond
- the
- boundaries
- of
- the
- individual
- self,
- revealing
- that
- nondual
- love
- is
- the
- nature
- of
- everything,
- including
- ourselves.Love
- is
- a
- transformative
- aspect
- of
- the
- spiritual
- path—and,
- in
- fact,
- it
- is
- our
- very
- nature.
- A.
- H.
- Almaas
- takes
- us
- on
- a
- journey
- beyond
- a
- narrow,
- individual
- understanding
- of
- love
- to
- an
- exploration
- of
- what
- he
- calls
- the
- boundless
- dimension
- of
- Divine
- Love.
- This
- is
- not
- the
- kind
- of
- love
- that
- we
- feel
- toward
- somebody
- else;
- it
- is
- nondual,
- a
- love
- without
- boundaries.
- Or
- put
- another
- way,
- it
- is
- universal
- true
- nature
- experienced
- as
- love.By
- shifting
- our
- focus
- beyond
- our
- individual
- human
- experience
- to
- the
- experience
- of
- the
- whole
- of
- existence,
- we
- are
- able
- to
- see
- the
- true
- richness
- of
- the
- universe.
- All
- of
- reality
- takes
- on
- a
- quality
- of
- inner
- light,
- of
- softness
- and
- ease,
- of
- sweetness
- and
- holding.
- When
- we
- are
- open
- to
- the
- dimension
- of
- nondual
- love,
- we
- can
- relax
- and
- trust
- our
- inner
- ground
- that
- is
- also
- the
- ground
- of
- everything:
- our
- true
- nature,
- free
- from
- limitations—a
- sense
- of
- complete
- release,
- freedom,
- and
- delight,
- that
- is
- free
- of
- conflict,
- fear,
- insecurity,
- and
- worry.
- Almaas
- discusses
- the
- obstacles
- that
- make
- it
- difficult
- to
- awaken
- to
- true
- nature
- in
- this
- form,
- such
- as
- our
- belief
- in
- a
- separate
- self
- and
- our
- past
- conditioning.
- Each
- chapter
- includes
- an
- inquiry
- or
- practice,
- such
- as
- explorations
- of
- attachments
- and
- worldly
- desires
- as
- well
- as
- inquiries
- into
- union,
- surrender,
- and grace.
