The Unknowable This

Nonduality with Tobias Ricardo

Welcome, divine friends.This site is dedicated to an exploration of Nonduality, a term commonly used to describe the nature of reality as being essentially undivided, whole, and complete. In other words, simply, unknowably, this. It is by no means just another spiritual or philosophical book upon the shelf, full of explanations and instructions on how to reach liberation. It exposes directly that the sense of separation thought of as the ‘me’, is an illusion, and that there is only liberation, timelessly, already. This is it!This can be a highly shocking and provocative idea. It, of course, directly contradicts the feeling of ‘me-ness’ which is that very sense of self. But this is the illusion that may be dispelled - not that it needs to be. As it is an illusion; it already isn’t there. But it is in the subtle confrontation of this paradox, and the subtle stirrings and shakings it so often brings to one’s sense of self, that can, on occasion, let in that metaphorical ray of light, and the true nature of reality might be impersonally glimpsed.The apparent collapse of that illusory sense of separate selfhood is by no means a process. In fact what is seen is that separation never was, and that all there ever was, was this. This is liberation.And this is it, divine friends, already.

Weekly Meetings

Zoom Meetings are a chance for many of us to come together in the same spaceless space to both celebrate and explore this extraordinary topic. The illusory bond of selfhood finds it difficult to maintain its bondage when this impersonal revelation is ‘seen’. Then all that is left is all that there ever was.Participation is FREE OF CHARGE and all are welcome.Any donations are, of course, hugely appreciated, but that should always be left entirely up to you. I trust you all completely, and I want you all to feel completely free to attend the meetings in whatever capacity you feel appropriate, be it as celebrant, friend, sponsor … or all three.

About Tobias

Tobias was born in Manchester, England, spending a good deal of his twenties traveling the world. Finding himself disillusioned, he went on to become an ordained Hindu monk. After spending many years living in this order with a variety of enlightened masters, and having many extraordinary experiences, he finally came upon the teachings of the classical Advaita Vedanta schools of Nonduality. Following a serious accident, he left the monastery, intending to further investigate this nondual philosophy. Having met with many of the modern teachers of traditional Advaita and participating in their awareness teachings, he again became disillusioned, seeing this, too, as just more rarified and nuanced spiritual experience.It was then that he first encountered speakers who discussed Nonduality in a more radical manner; not as a philosophy or as a practice one could engage in and achieve supposed spiritual results with, but rather as a radical and direct exposure of what already, timelessly, and unknowably, is. This caused a profound and dramatic shift. Soon any notion of separate existence, lived through time fell away, revealing clearly and impersonally, and with a shocking immediacy, that it never had been there in the first place, nor could have ever been. A paradox of mind bending beauty and of love. It was seen that there never had been any riddle to solve, nor any problem to fix, nor any solution that was needed. That there was just no question. No question at all.
All there was, was simply, unknowably this.
