"I want you to know that you needn't suffer and that freedom is possible.
I want you to know that when you're done with all the dead ends and false starts then maybe you'll be ready to see what has always been right at the heart of your own experience.
True freedom isn't attained through perfecting any methods or techniques, it isn't attained by adding anything to what you think you are. Truth isn't attained at all, it's discovered.
Freedom is your very nature, it's what you are; you just haven't noticed it yet because you're too busy searching for it. That's the irony and the blessing of the truth, that when you stop seeking it, you find that it's already here and now."

Martyn is a spiritual teacher, mentor, and writer whose aim is to help people discover their true nature and essential freedom as boundless, ever-present awareness. He draws on years of study and practice in many spiritual traditions and teachings, but ultimately teaches from his own direct experience of the nondual nature of reality.
Exploring Present-Moment Awareness Together
Most people’s lives are profoundly oriented around the belief in the personal identity as a body-mind (ego). Nondual inquiry (Satsang) is the context in which the exploration and recognition of our true nature can take place, facilitating the deconstruction of the false ego-identity which is the cause of suffering, and revealing our true nature as awareness itself – what is.
In this process everyone is unique and everyone holds a particular set of notions and concepts relating to who they believe they are and how the world is. It’s only when we start exploring these assumptions can we test their veracity against our actual lived experience.
Living as the ego is experiencing life through the prism of false ideas, rather than the freedom of life lived directly as it is. It’s the difference between suffering feelings of incompleteness, anxiety, and depression; and a life of openness, acceptance, peace of mind, and natural joy. Satsang is an opportunity to explore the reality of your lived experience, and to see what – if anything – stands between you and your nature as freedom and peace.
