Product Description
Product Description
Nathan Gill is a rare voice in contemporary spirituality. Speaking with consistent clarity, he points out that all prescriptions for escape from the drama of separation instead serve as its reinforcement. Compiled from transcripts of one-to-one dialogues and group meetings, the talks featured in Already Awake present the essential message of non-duality in a profound yet straightforward way. Also included by way of an introduction to the main text, is a revised version of Nathan's first book, Clarity.
From the Publisher
Nathan Gill's first book is an uncompromising set of dialogues on the theme of non-duality. Beyond self-help and therapy, 'Already Awake' suggests that 'as you are'is already whole and complete and that separation and lack aresimply thoughts arising in the ever-present clarity of your real nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing,
By Pete "Pete" (Midlands Uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Already Awake (Paperback)
After reading Clarity by Nathan, all Tony Parsons' books, Awaken to the dream by Leo Hartong, books by Joan Tollifson, 'Sailor' Bob Adamson, Wayne Liquorman, Ramesh S. Balsekar and Nisargadatta Maharaj. I wondered if I really needed to read yet another book. But although 'I've' heard Nathan speak before and read these books, this book of dialogs is incredible. It gives the apparent seeker nothing!!!!!!!!! Every time a questioner assumes that this apparent process has some importance or has anything to do with the person 'they' think they are, Nathan consistently and relentlessly rips the rug right from under 'their' feet. Time and time again we are told, there is already no-one there, it's just an idea of an 'I', just an appearance, appearing in WHAT you are, present awareness!
After reading this book there maybe no need for the question 'when will 'I' get it' the question just seems stupid and redundant!! We are told there is already no one!! And if this is seen, it undermines the memorization with the story of a 'me'. Highly, highly recommended as are Tony's books and Leo's book!! Absolutely, breathtakingly non-dual, and as direct as 'I've' ever read it!! All the best, Pete! ********* Its now 2009 and I have since re-read this book twice and what can I say! This book is incredible! Nathan is understated as an author, he's not a huge personality using flashy sexy sounding words that will feed the seeking to continue. He is so clear on the expression of this that I almost cry reading the words. You can go out and read a hundred books and go to many many retreats and search for more understanding and bigger experiences but maybe now, when you've done all that and your tired of continually waiting for something to happen to you, for something to be owned or understood by you, you'll be ready to read this book and hear Nathans constant, unrelenting pointing that already life is living itself. Honestly, after many years and many books, I can recommend no other book as strongly as I can this one!!! (If there was a joint favorite it would be Jeff Foster's `Beyond Awakening'). Enjoy! Pete

No difference,
By roger (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Already Awake (Paperback)
I read this book twice and it made no difference at all.It reads nicely but made no difference. Nothing.Maybe I am too long on the search and have studied too much. So perhaps this book is inspirational if you are beginning.

A life changing book,
By Norman E. Babbitt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Already Awake (Paperback)
Nathan Gill's book, Already Awake, was mind blowing in a
beautiful, subtle life changing way. So much of what is termed Advaita and non-dual teaching (which I have been steeped in now for over 4 years) has an elitist aspect that directs people to follow various prescriptions to get somewhere, purportedly to what is real, beyond the illusions of ego. Previously, I was wholeheartedly into this approach. Nathan's book so clearly depicts what is so glaringly obvious, that if one is even in the least open to the fact that there can be no movement toward or away from what is, then a deep seeing is just about unavoidable. Ego identified or not, "awakeness" is not something distant and rare, but is all that is. This book puts this realization in the most simple and direct manner. There is not a trace of elitism or self-aggrandizement, whatsoever. There is a real, warm, open invitation to just see the obvious and to celebrate everything as the expression of the divine by the divine as the divine. Nothing and no one is excluded. So many teachings seem to place themselves above the so-called "ordinary" people. Nathan does anything but this with his words. The expression that comes through him is simply the humble beloved embracing, being all and everyone and everything and being no-thing and no one. I fell in love with what is, as it is, as I am and seem to be. This is miraculous and my gratitude is endless. 27 of 30 people found the following review helpful:
5.0 out of 5 stars
the best,
By Douglas Adams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Already Awake (Paperback)
For even the most seasoned Advaita traveler, Nathan's book may be considered the 'end of the road'. With beautiful simplicity he puts to rest the hidden duality that seems to reside within even the most profound expressions of non-duality. This allows spiritual seeking with all of it's inherent suffering to come to an end in a truly effortless way.
Nathan's book is clear, simple and profoundly complete. I consider it to be the highest expression of non-duality available in print. 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful:

Clarity in the palm of your hand,
By Atagrasin "Mr Beyong" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Already Awake (Paperback)
Already Awake book is the clearest exposition of pure Advaita I've read..Nathan point's out that all prescriptions for escape from the drama of separation actually serve as its reinforcement.What is right now is perfection,and when this is recognized the seeking for the marvellous or for the blissfulness end. If you feel at all drawn to this awakening, I can't imagine a clearer way to be introduced.
