In this episode I give a Christian nondual interpretation of the words of the apostle Paul in his Letter to the Philippians: “Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation with prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU

The most frequent inquiry I receive from listeners is various forms of the question: “How do I wake up?” I reply to each inquiry individually, but I thought it would be good to do an episode addressing the topic View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU

I got an email a while ago from a listener who asked about integrating unitive awareness into everyday life. Let me read you part of what he wrote:“The act of remembering to let go and live out of one's True Self seems to be part of integrating unitive awareness into everyday life. But could you speak about your process of integration? Is it more or less a process of remembering - to be more aware of when one experiences separation/suffering, and creating positive feedback loops for returning to a state of unitive awareness? Or, is it based on having faith? If so, is faith the deep knowing of this nondual reality, like a pool that exists within us and we can always return to? I'd love to hear your thoughts.”So that is what I  address in this episode. View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU

Recently I have been reading a chapter from the Indian spiritual classic the Bhagavad Gita as part of my daily devotions.  As a Christian with a nondual approach, it is natural to me to read from scriptures of other religions that also connect with nonduality. In this episode I share insights about Christian nonduality from reading the Bhagavad Gita.I deal with three overarching themes that make up the framework of the Gita. Each of them can be described in terms of a picture in the mind’s eye. The first picture is the chariot. The second is the battlefield. The third is Arjuna and Krishna in the chariot having the discussion on the subject of war.View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU

The children’s nursery rhyme about Humpty Dumpty is a good metaphor for how the illusion of the self is shattered and one wakes up to nondual awareness. One might call it the parable of Humpty Dumpty. “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again.” That in a nutshell – or more accurately an eggshell - is the story of spiritual awakening. It is the story of the end of the self.  View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU
