ABOUT SHAR

In my 20s, I began having glimpses of a still, silent state of consciousness where there was none of the suffering I was experiencing in my day-to-day life. A dark night of the soul when I was 30 was the first crack in the identity. Every attempt to put myself back together only led to more frustration.

 

My path was grounded in the discipline of meditation, including Zen, and was guided by the teachings of spiritual teachers Adyashanti and Susanne Marie. After many years of seeking, I had a big opening. Following a deep void experience, the mind went quiet for a few days. I could now understand how an awake mind operated, but as the veil of separation closed back over, it was clear there was more work to do. This is where I entered what I call the embodiment phase, where the identity started to fall apart. Awakening completely took over my life, and after losing almost everything, I decided to commit myself wholeheartedly to the process.

​

A few years later and after over a decade of meditation, therapy, silent retreats, self-inquiry and other spiritual practices, I felt drawn to watch a video of Adyashanti. As soon as it commenced, I felt us dissolve and I realised - I am that. The mind emptied out like water draining from a sink.  Two days later, I felt compelled to attend my Zen class. As soon as the meditation began, the spiritual heart expanded including in it the room, the world, the universe - absolutely everything. Nothing was separate from the One. The realisation - I am everything - became a permanent way of being from this moment onwards.​​
