Love speaks through Jeff, 21 Jan 2009
By Scott Kiloby - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Revelation of Oneness: Dialogues on Nonduality and Spiritual Awakening (Paperback)
To meet Jeff is to meet the embodiment of Oneness, not just the talk of it. "He sees" that no word could ever capture 'This.' He knows he is not a teacher. Yet he knows that people come to him seeking to be taught what 'this' is. His absence allows for pure love to express itself without trying to stay within any particular lineage or way of expressing the inexpressible. That is the hallmark of a good nondual expression. It's that free, like water flowing wildly down a stream. Nothing captures 'This.' Jeff is merely pointing to that inexpressible reality.
The value in Jeff's sharing is not that you will walk away with fancy non-dual concepts, but rather you will walk away as nothing, seeing yourself in everything. Those who meet jeff see that non-duality is not about doctrine or dogma. It is not about positions such as "there is no self." It is not about any fixed position. If you meet someone who believes they know exactly what "this" is, run as far and as fast as you can away from them. What Jeff is ultimately expressing is that to wake up "to" (or "as") the absolute is one thing, but waking up from all fixed, absolutistic positions is another. When you meet Jeff, you meet that which is free of all positions. Therefore you meet love. You meet yourself.
No one will ever be able to teach "this." How can one teach the full and total embodiment of what already is, the love in that is boundless? The question, "how can I find enlightenment" is the wrong question. There can only be a seeing. Jeff expresses the full gamut of that seeing, never leaving the mind with a place to land. That is what love does. It frees the "you" to be what you already are, the wild flowing water, the complete and total mystery of what is.
Thanks Jeff
