No satsang teacher; no knowledge of anything; I comprises all experiences, the end of chasing particular experiences; the whole spectrum of experiences is what was ever looked for; thought separates; who I really am does not care and is always in peace; thought is useless to understand what I really am; all is in the hand of life, existence, consciousness; it does not matter which word we use; thought cannot know how it works; the beauty and the mystery cannot be captured by thought; Unmani means not knowing; never discovered anything spiritual; always known not to be separate from life; search for a separate identity; could not find an I; the believe something is wrong; could not find the perfect I; no end of the search to be expected; interpretation of Osho’s word that one should be spiritual; letter to Dolano in suicidal situations; readiness to die; a terrible but precious month with Dolano; no need to have a separate identity; no need to know; feeling other human beings as not separate; often surprised that humans insist in being separate; there is only one energy and thought believes there are separate humans; joint pointing to what we are.

Who we are is already in order; the believe to have to look for something is the problem; relaxing into what is known beyond thought already; life wants to open and relax; in the face of not knowing the problems disappear and relaxation comes; an absolute mystery; not linked to any tradition; each person she meets is her master; no pupils more friends; retreats with dialogs and lots of fun; retreats are intensive and participants experience more depth in exploring the nature of life; no methods, uncovering of misunderstandings and old believes on what humans believe to be; silence and laughing; retreats are not about experiencing peace but about recognizing who you are; like an awakening from a dream; explore together what cannot be touched by uncomfortable feelings; experience together that life itself cannot be touched by uncomfortable feelings; no rules in the retreats; much laughing towards the end; dissolving intellectual limitations; each person is unique; the mystery is that we do not know and that we do not have to know why things are the way they are; emptiness is what I am, this has no quality; the background of all things,

Life itself as only identity that exists; animals seem to remind us who simple life is; thought produces complications; suffering is not real; there is no one who is suffering; pain happens without reason and without meaning, suffering seems to strengthen when people believe that they are the ones who suffer; in recognizing that there is no separate identity, the belief that it is my suffering is seen as joke; mind wants to know but can never know; the imagination that calamities can happen without reason is depressing for mind; but life comprises all that happens; “Who am I?” should be asked once only; the question points to that there is no answer to it; when this is seen thought can relax; it is then better to forget this question; mind is a useful tool with unlimited capabilities; mostly thought is considered as the master; thought is a tool but does not have any control and there is no reference point; no need to stop or control thought; recognize that thought cannot touch what I am; see that mind is not mind; there is only this thought now, only one thought that arises now; the dream consists of most people believing that the thoughts must be true; the not questioned assumption consists of believing that we are someone separate, someone who suffers; investigating such assumptions during the retreat; what I really am does not require and effort and does not have any problems; problems arise with the believe to be separate from life; in the effort to reconnect with life we oversee what already is; no effort required.

Unmani

Unmani offers spontaneous and direct non-dual teachings, mainly in the UK but also Europe, USA and Australia.  She holds regular Satsang gatherings (which she calls Meeting in Not-Knowing) as well as retreats.  She has a very unique style of intimate dialogues in these gatherings.

Meeting in Not-Knowing with Unmani is a chance to ask questions, have a dialogue in clarity or sit in silence. Life itself is not only expressed in words.
