The Nondual Wisdom of Karlfried Graf Durckheim

The Nondual Wisdom of Karlfried Graf Durckheim

Becoming Transparent to the Transcendent:  Karlfried Graf Durckhein While visiting with Francis Lucille during his retreat outside of Munich, Germany this summer, he stunned me with a quote from Karlfield Graf Durckheim, the German diplomat, psychotherapist, Zen "master" and deeply enchanting Christian mystic. Enjoyed by Jean Klein, Graf died in 1988 at the age of 92. "Suddenly it happened! I was listening and lightning went through me. The veil was torn asunder, I was awake! I had just experienced 'It'. Everything existed and nothing existed. Another Reality had broken through this world. I myself existed and did not exist…" "I had experienced that which is spoken of in all centuries: individuals, in whatever stage of their lives, have had an experience which struck them with the force of lightning and linked them once and for all to the circuits of True Life." Click here to see a rare video of Karlfried Graf Durckheim and to download a free and rich biography regarding his work, entitled "Becoming Real."

I am not of this world, nor of the next, nor of Paradise, nor of Hell;
I am not of Adam, nor of Eve, nor of Eden and Rizwãn.

My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless;
‘Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved.
~ Rumi

How did the Universe come into Existence?

How did the Universe come into Existence?

How did the Universe come into Existence? Direct experience must be the sole test of reality.  This being true, then, every presumption or conclusion should be subjected to the examination of our direct experience to validate it. For instance, let's examine the presumption that the universe existed before our experience of it.  What evidence would there be of such a universe? Join Rupert Spira by clicking here to explore our investigation into the common belief that the Universe existed before us. Please take your time with this entry.
