Alaya is a spiritual teacher in Asheville, NC who has been offering satsang since 2011. I sat down with her in July, 2014 for an interview. We discussed a bit about her awakening journey, as well as her perspective on the meaning of non-duality. Learn more about Alaya at https://www.alayasatsang.org.

Interview with Alaya, by Trey Carland

On the so called path to enlightenment, encounters are had with many apparent individuals who illicit the question, "What's really going on here?" Questioning what we consider "reality" may arise. Realizations may be had about how everything we think we know is pure rumor turned into an orthodox belief system. The invitation here is to question the orthodox, which is everything we hold to be true, by being exposed to a completely different paradigm and see what happens. @Non-Duality

I had a lovely chat with Kenneth Madden, who is an uncompromising non-duality speaker from Ireland. He does online meetings, in person meetings and individual sessions. You can learn more about him on his website - https://www.kennethmadden.net/. Here is a quote from his site, "The suggestion being made here is that you are not the separate individual self you experience yourself to be and that the sense of separation that may be  felt is artificial.  There is and never has been a separate individual "you".  You will never find what you are looking for as you are not there to find it and there is no "it" to find."

Arianna Reflects is what some might call an uncompromising non-duality speaker that I've been enjoying listening to for a while now.

Tim Cliss is a non-duality speaker and author from Great Britain who gives weekly online talks and retreats. He has written a book entitled, This Deafening Silence, as well as a great deal of poetry. We had a lovely chat about the nature of Life as well as disillusionment. His energy and words are compassionately uncompromising. Here is a quote from his website, "Life is always as it is, this is it. All the past is here, all the future is here. For the seemingly separate individual, the search for freedom is the search to find something other than this. In his debut book, Tim points towards the unknowable everything and nothing. All there is, is this. This deafening silence." You can learn more about Tim, his writings and his videos at https://www.timclissthis.com. He also posted the video version of this interview here - https://youtu.be/RQG6SePHFq0.
