Self-Realization and Other Awakenings

into a teaching site with a question and answer
section.
The site expanded and I added a teaching blog in
2006, http://www.itisnotreal.blogspot.com, and began
receiving questions and responses from students of
Robert, or of Advaita, from all over the world.
By late 2009 a few readers had put together an
online Satsang forum using various programs.
By this time the depression was long gone. For
years I had felt nothing but the peace of a detached
resting in the Absolute, into that intuition of a
noumenal existence entirely beyond, or more
precisely, lying prior to the world of phenomena. The
peace was so exquisite, so profound and totally
impersonal.
I had no idea what was to befall me over the next
few months; a situation so remarkable, so enlivening,
so breathtaking, that I was to be awakened out of that
peaceful repose by the most astounding love and an
ignition of internal energies so very powerful,
energizing, and exciting, that it changed everything. I
was to change from someone attuned only to
understanding, to one hopelessly entranced and
changed by the power of love.
