This book is an exquisite fruit of eight years of meticulous editing and curation of countless talks, attempting to minimise repetitions but aiming at keeping 'the authentic feel' of the room. In the Part One, the discourses brilliantly present the fundamental ideas Sailor Bob uses to present nonduality in the clearest, simplest way. In Part Two, the dialogs are intentionally left unaltered, unmodified, uncorrected, so one can see how Bob applies the same core principles to various questions and doubts - offering invaluable insights into the nature of existence. On these nearly 400 pages ...

As a scientist, Sherlock Holmes would have certainly been familiar with the famous dictum attributed to Aristotle: Nature abhors a vacuum. In that same vein, fans of the Great Detective must look at 1885 and 1886 and see a somewhat similar void. Conan Doyle set no cases during those years; in fact, if you believe Doyle, Holmes and Watson remained inactive for a period of some 30 months.

What you are in essence is self-shining, pure intelligence. The very idea of shining implies a movement. Movement is energy. I call it 'pure intelligence energy'. It is shining through your eyes. You cannot say what it is, and you cannot negate it either. It is 'no thing’. It cannot be objectified. It ever expresses as that living, vibrant sense of presence, which translates through the mind as the thought 'I am'. The primary thought 'l am' is not the reality. It is the closest the mind or thought can ever get to reality, for reality to the mind is inconceivable. It is no thing. Without ...

For all we know, or think we know, about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, what we don’t know is far, far greater. In the duo’s first case, A Study in Scarlet, we learn that Holmes and Watson met on January 1st, 1881, and subsequently moved into an apartment together at 221b Baker Street. Their first case officially began on March 4th of that year, and it is argued that “The Adventure of the Resident Patient” possibly took place in October of 1881, depending on which version of the story you read. But what happened during the rest of 1881? Or all of 1882?
