Author and spiritual teacher, Michael Hall, PhD, interviewed Trey Carland on Michael's weekly Facebook talk. They discussed Trey's two books (A Seeker's Guide to Inner Peace: Notes to Self and Finding Peace Everywhere: How Presence, Surrender and Inquiry Changed my Life). Trey talks about how his early awakening experiences and diagnosis with epilepsy started him on the awakening journey. Many of the insights gained on that journey became written words that eventually became two books. Trey has been hosting weekly Awakening Support Group meetings since 2007 and is co-founder of the Asheville Sangha online community and Facebook page. Trey also owns a meditative hiking tour business in Asheville, NC (Trey's hometown) called Zen Mountain Tours. You can learn more about Trey on his personal website at www.TreyCarland.com.

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."

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.
