Peter Russell ~ Nonduality and Awakening ~ InPerson Local Event

The Indian philosophy of advaita, or nonduality, teaches that consciousness is the primary reality, the fundamental essence of the cosmos. But what does this really mean? It certainly doesnÕt appear that way to our eyes. And how can we understand awakening from this perspective. What are we awakening from? And to? Peter Russell will explore questions such as these, and the essential role that letting go plays in this journey.

Bio: Peter Russell, M.A., D.C.S. is a leading thinker on consciousness and contemporary spirituality. He coined the term “global brain” with his 1980s bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the internet and the impact it would have on humanity. Other books include Waking UP in Time, From Science to God, and his most recent Letting Go of Nothing.
