Truly Teacherless Teaching: It’s All You

Introducing Ask-the-Guru, the app that leads to the truth of your being–without the dualistic teacher/student inequity:

If it doesn’t open in chrome, try safari.

Some will say an app can’t give you what a real teacher can.
Fair enough — but here’s the quiet scandal:
No teacher ever truly gave it to you either.
The best of them only ever turned you back to your own clear seeing.

Ask-the-Guru sidesteps the tangle of dependence, adoration, or inevitable disappointment.
It invites you to discover the living wisdom in your own chest, right now, without needing anyone to beam it into you.

So ask your deepest questions.
Watch as your own silent knowing answers — not because of the app,
but because you were always the source.

And if you’re willing and able: I’ve poured my crooked heart into making this. If it makes you smile, sigh, or if you just want to help an old, rusty seeker pay the rent, your support would be greatly appreciated. Any amount helps to finish and share this freely, while the landlord sits and waits.

Please consider making a donation and click the link below. Thank you.

Your Support is Greatly appreciated

Memory: A Box Full of Stuff

homerboxA question has been asked in regard to my spiritual biography, or timeline, as part of an upcoming interview with Jerry Katz. All that I have been able to come up with is a kind of curiosity. Where does the impulse to seek, or anything else for that matter (to love, to work hard, to play, to learn to fly), come from? I don’t know where this came from, or where it started, was the best answer I could think of, but it seemed certain that a better response was hoped for, and that I should be able to come up with such.

The Unarguable Experience


Find the teacher who will set you free from teachers and teachings.

To experience the place beyond concepts, beyond dogma of any kind, is to be free of doubt, seeking, conflict, and ultimately the sense of separation that fuels all of these states.

Life is to be lived, not missed. If there is a focus on what could be or should be, or on who or what can give it to me, then what is right here and now is overlooked.

In this video, it could be said that there is a teacher and a seeker. It could be said that there is a teaching, or a transmission that is happening, as if it were a causative relationship. It could be assumed that Papaji has given the woman something. But all he asks her to do is look. First, he asks, “What do you want?” This creates a willing suspension of the mind, or a state of wondering, perhaps. “Where are you,” he says? That is all. That is all that is ever being asked of anyone in any given moment: Look, right here, right now. Who are you? Where are you? The mind stops for an instant, and you know the answer that cannot be put into words.

What if the experience itself renders any idea about transmission irrelevant, and any distinction between teacher and student absurd? Quarrel with what is given, by whom and to whom, and that very argument will obscure what is already present and accessible, what is ultimately unarguable because it is beyond any position the mind could attempt to hold. Experience trumps the reasoning mind every time. Let this laughter be your experience.
