Illusion of Separation by Jeff Foster

So many people around that I know; with existential crisis and desperation. Many friends that I would have liked to help better, be of higher service. This interview with Jeff Foster* might be useful and might light up ideas and a sense of clarity. An interesting perspective about relationships for those who are seeking to have a life that makes more sense and who want to give a deeper understanding to their living and their relationships.

Understanding our search. Getting to the place where we are able to realise that coming home does not come from the outside. Giving out our whole lives to find home or unconditional love. And nevertheless, life disappointing us continually and endlessly. While we hide ourselves from truly living. He points out the essence of Being and the power of this concept.

So getting to deeply feel that unconditional love will not come from anybody else apart from ourselves. Coming home is coming to ourselves. Nothing else. Meeting ourselves first. Our intimacy is the first duty in order to face any other relationship. Yet we keep missing it all the time.

Oh, Beloved Presence. Here you are. Here I am.

"The river of life is flowing. Jump in, at the risk of drowning, at the risk of really living!" -Jeff Foster

*Jeff Foster studied Astrophysics at Cambridge University. In his mid-twenties, after a long period of depression and illness, he became addicted to the idea of ‘spiritual enlightenment’ and embarked on an intensive spiritual quest for the ultimate truth of existence. Jeff’s teaching is simple. He helps people discover who they really are, beyond all thoughts and judgments about themselves, even in the midst of the stress and struggle of modern day living and intimate relationships. His style is direct and uncompromising and yet full of humanity, humor and compassion. He believes that freedom is everybody’s birthright. He belongs to no tradition or lineage, and makes his teaching accessible to all. Jeff was voted #59 in Watkins Mind Body Spirit’s 2014 list of the world’s 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People. He has published four books in over six languages.
