Non-traditional Teachers / Nonduality Mavericks

J. Krishnamurti, a very early influence
in my enquiry process & awakening to truth
thanks to my father.
A true benefactor of the humankind
through his direct approach of fearless awareness
into one's real nature and condition;
"the" contemporary pioneer of non-mediated realization
that has become a movement with countless faces.

J. Krishnamurti JK JK US|
U.G. Krishnamurti + U.G. + UGK
| Osho * * |

Three diverse proponents of the 'break the rules'
and 'don't buy knowledge' consideration
of all and anything spiritual;
what a great relief they brought to this Pavlovian world.

their legacy:

U.G. = Stand alone, free from any hope for enlightenment.
K = Find your own light, away from religious institutions.
Osho = Celebrate yourself, openly, courageously, for you are divine.

K fulfilled the testament of the Buddha: "be your own lamp"
and delivered the medicine of radical insight to mankind.
The very return of the Awakened.

U.G. totally destroyed the ego/greed for "realization" in his audience
and left them with unpretentious spontaneity and ordinary/natural living.
A true avatar of Rudra.

Osho/Bhagwan restored and revived the mystic power of transformation
from all the many degenerated and fossilized religious traditions,
concluding in immediate access of anyone's heart into the infinite sacred.
The authentic form of Govinda.

Vimala Thakar
(also)

Vimala Thakar, realized student of J. Krishnamurti.
I attended one of her 7 days seminars in 1987 in Switzerland
and was deeply impressed by her authenticity,
radiating poise, closeness, and dignity;
her teachings belong to the most compassionate,
insightful and world-liberating ever.

Jean Klein
Independent teacher and Western nonduality pioneer.

Francis Lucille
Independent teacher of the direct path
former disciple of Jean Klein.

Eckhart Tolle
Independent teacher and best-selling author
that holds the merit of having placed the practice
of 'presence in the now' on the map of mainstream culture,
fact that has multiplied worldwide the demand for "awakening".

Adyashanti
Widely esteemed exponent of the non-traditional
approach to nonduality, loosely owing to Zen,
he's adopted the rite of 'transmission'.

Tony Parsons
Leading radicalist of the 'no seeker,
no method, no liberated one'
approach to awakening, debunking most othe r pr esent ations
of realizing nonduality; his negating style looks like
an abridged version of the two Krishnamurtis message.

Great Freedom (Candice O'Denver)
Dzogchen-like method/teachings in plain language,
avoiding any Tibetan lingo that could reference
traditional Vajrayana.

Clara Llum
American/Spanish nonduality Dharma teacher.
My approach contains elements of all major traditions.
Ordained Mahayana Master, I equally acknowledge
the Nath lineage of Sai Dattatreya presiding my refuge tree.
