Lieber Satyam Nadeen, NAMASTE!!! - Es ist so wunderbar und ein faszinierendes Geschenk der Quelle, Ihre beiden Bücher "Von der Zwiebel zur Perle" und "Satsang" gefunden zu haben. Und so wohltuend einfach und "normal" und so voll liebevollem Humor! Alles Gute und vielleicht habe ich das Glück, Sie live in Baden-Baden/Germany im Sommer 2002 zu erleben. Herzlichst Michael Dear Satyam Nadeen, NAMASTE!!!! It is so wonderful and such a great gift from the source that I have found your 2 books 'Onions to Pearls' and 'Satsang'. It is so uplifting and simple and 'normal' and full of loving humor. I wish you all the best, and maybe I'll be able to see you live in Badeb-Baden/Germany in sommer 2002.

Hola Nadeen, I am living a life very similar to you, but without jail and enlightenment ;-) I was professional gambler and the source blessed me with a black-jack system by winning a lot of money. Spirituality never was in my interest, but after my girl friend left me, I went to Sai Baba trying to change my life... After 6 years of philosophy and spirituality and after reading hundreds of books several times...your book I can speak in the meantime by heart...nothing really changed ;-((( there is no shift, no light, no love, no enlightenment around me...I only see a judging egomonster suffering, because of not be able to agree to be an onion ;-))) Believe me, I am very envious and jealous of you...but you also give me great hope, that there is a way out of the shit *smile* thanks a lot roman ;-) ps: your book helped a good friend of mine very much !

Namaste, my dearest Nadeen, Both your books continue to be wonderful inspirational sources of Advaita Truth and Wisdom that I savor from the depths of my Being like a delicious tasty meal or banquet. Spoken in such simplicity, clarity and wit, your words echo and reverberate throughout the corridors of my mind and leave me a state of satiated fullness which I can only describe as "divine". How simple! In front of my nose all the time, this sat-chit-ananda and I could not perceive it due to all this mind's smoke screens and games. No mind, no problem, only Source and what could truly be more divine than THAT? Simply knowing 'I AM THAT'. The Self at rest continuously arising to meet its Self in a kalidescope of forms dancing on beams of Light in the Oneness of All there Is. Namaste, my dearest Nadeen for the Gift that you are. I love you! Blessings, Peter Anastasia

Dearest Nadeen, "Yes, All is True." Am going through the passage of "the dark night of the soul." Before I read your books...did not have a clue as to what this incredible confusion was all about...now I have more than a clue; now I know "ALL IS WELL" and is as it should be and has ever been. Am observing this process as the Witness; which makes it no less difficult, however, it certainly does make it much more bearable -- as you succinctly expressed it in your book: "From Seekers to Finders." Thank you Nadeen, brother in Source, for sharing your experience with me. Warm thoughts and gentle hugs, your sister in Source, Gilly

I'm now reading your second book and I've been inspired with another poem: (You have this effect on me!) Here goes: My life is being played like a symphony, orchestrated with cresendos and harmonious medodies. Each friend to their own instrument, a perfect miracle. The truth slips from their lips. Observe, let go, BEHOLD! That's it. Short and to the point. This second book is opening up to me in moments of awareness of observing my thoughts. Thanks.

I read about the "ahhh" sigh of finally understanding. I have been in this body 24 years and been through all the 'new age' crap in the past 5 yrs, I guess the part of the journey you described your first 50 as... hahaha... what a great joke it is. Each and every chapter of your books says the same thing over and over, and each time, my ego screamed a blood-curdling "ahhhh!!!" then the ridiculous giggles bubble up from somewhere deep beyond me and the "ahh" like a sigh of relief though beyond anything ever felt before floods over me. And it happens every five minutes these days. hehe. Thanks Source for being. Nice job Nadeen, keep doing nothing... or non-doing..heheh... Whatever. Thought it would be fun to comment here, but this mind even attempting to find words here is completely ridiculous. Heh go ahead, keep searchin y'all.. haha

THANK YOU!!! NAMASTE. There is somethink right now, at the
moment this is written and at the moment this is read. You,
who reads this here right now is the same, who writes this
here right now. There is nobody, who thinks about that, what
comes out of these words. Leela is playing right now. You
are dreaming, that you read this here right now.

Dear Nadeen,
Just happened to pop into your web site, happened to
read about your biography; I was reminded of
J.Krishnamurthi's description of the annihilation
of the ego due to an extreme shock, in that situation
the other entity variously called enlightenment,
salvation is revealed; your life seem to be a
perfect example of this process. Continue your good job;
may many more souls get the enlightenment you were lucky
to realize in this birth of yours. I am just back from
a pilgrimage to Ramanasramam, the abode of
Sri Ramana Maharishi, after years of personal suffering,
it seems to me I am just beginning to get his grace,
hope I am made fit enough to receive the grace of all
masters thereby annihilate my own little self into the
great awakening.

After an initial and very personal experience with Source through a form of
Ramana Maharshi last September, it is delightful that many similar energies
surround [and helped in initiating] the Satyam Nadeen Awakening. Looking
forward to the continuing contact; and I'd be honored to "focus" any satsang
activities in the middle Tennessee area (I live less than 30 minutes from
Nashville). Onward as the Light! AND LET THE DANCING BEGIN!!!! Gary

Hi Nadeen I read From Onions To Pearls about three years ago. I went to a
Satsang shortly after. I loved the energy I got from the Satsang, but I
could not hold on to it for long. About a year ago I went into the dark
night of the soul. The first time I really heard about that (dark night) was
when I was coming out of the worst of it (in Onions I don't remember reading
about that). A part of me knew it had something to do with my spiritual
growth, but I was not sure. Reading about it in your book sure helped me.
Then I picked up D.E Harding's book, On Having No Head -- it talked about it
there too, it's just so amazing how things come when you need it. I just
wanted you to know how important your book has been for me. Thanks, Nadeen.

How Source moves that which is called "us" around is always remarkable and frequently ASTOUNDING: in the middle of a four day silence, having ventured forth, ending at a used bookshop 200 miles away to find the only copy of a book I'd never heard of before that moment (but which has heard of "me"!!): From Onions to Pearls fairly leaped off the shelf -- a nearly-new copy talking around and with and within the experience I had with Ramana Maharshi (no death!) and IS-ness. Ya Ya Ya and LET THE DANCING BEGIN!!! Be well and prosper...Gary

Dearest Beloved Nadeen, Is there a fifth dimension? And if there is, I hope you can get there fast so as to bring us more beauty in the next episode of Source! As the Mayans say : IN LAK'ECH - (in another,Yourself). Pure Love and Light to you, sweet soul! Leslie
Leslie Franklin starcycle2012@hotmail.com Seminyak, Bali Indonesia - March 16, 2000 Dear Leslie, Nadeen is aware that many teachers speak of additional dimensions, and he says "Don't know, don't care." When he speaks of the fourth, he is referring to any or all dimensions beyond the third. --Ken Shaw, New Freedom Press |
|
Beloved Nadeen: Regarding The Law of Humiliation...a third dimensional phenomenon? In the fourth (you, Osho, Krishnamurti) is humiliation possible or does humiliation take place in the eyes of the beholders? In the fourth (turiya)could you yourself envisage a situation where you could feel humiliation? Great love and gratefulness from Australia for the heartfelt message of both books. After several readings and reading aloud in a weekly satsang circle divine percolation is happening.

I like your book very much - From Seekers to Finders. I am rereading it currently and have ordered some of your audiotapes and one video. I have recommended it to various friends. I really believe you are sharing something very important here and it fits in with what many others are sharing. Looking forward to attending some of your programs in Atlanta, Ga.

Just finished reading the second book for the second time and came across the idea of setting up Satsang circles on page 40. What a great idea so here goes.

I just finished reading From Onions to Pearls and found it the most irritating and profound spiritual book that I ever read. On the one hand I can't dismiss it entirely because of the deepness of the author's personal experience. On the other hand it contradicts almost everything else I have read about spiritual mysticism. Thanks for writing the book. I need to challenge conceptions I have had for nearly thirty years. Dan Leibert acuche@hotmail.com Portland, OR USA - December 27, 1999 |

Hello Nadeen,
I've gotta tell ya, I read your book four times now and I am still blown-away by it. You have helped my life considerably. I particularly appreciate your view of how Source can't get enough "limitation" (thru us). I can now laugh (silently) at the small "everyday irritations" and realize it's nothing more than Source at work. Now the world makes sense to me! I'm looking forward to reading your next book and have already ordered it - just waiting for delivery in January.
Love ya and thanks for sharing your story and experiences.

Hallo and thanks Nadeen; I found a copy of From Onions to Pearls in London earlier this year ('99) and the 'nuts and bolts' clarity appealed to me staightaway. Thanks also for posting the interesting newsletter. Dave Dave Aberdeen, Scotland - December 04, 1999 |

Hi
Just wish to say that your book and the ideas contained
within the pages were like a bomb that went off inside my head and my life.
Reading your book forced me to look at every belief I've ever held sacred. That
was not a pleasant experience. In fact it reminds me of the movie
The Matrix, where the central character is offered two pills, one will wake him up to reality
and the other will put him back to sleep. For a time I really really wished I had not taken that blue pill.
Thankfully I am past that, but for a time it was truly awful. Great recommendation for a book eh?
Where am I now? I am not ready for one of your intensives. Too many smiling faces. (Grin) I have discovered that all beliefs
are approximations, even yours. If reading your book could cut a swath of destruction through the beliefs I previously
held so easily, perhaps just being an observer for a while might not be such a bad thing.
Enjoy yourself!

Thank you Satyam Nadeen:
I am grateful that you are willing to share your experiences with us. I'm still using your Pearls to stimulate my journaling. It seems, in order for my to fully experience your words, I have to experience them in my own thoughts, brain connections and words. From there, I seem to develop new belief systems that lets Destiny take over. I'm willing to let surrender take its own course, in its own time, and let happen what happens. All in all, I'm smoothing out into a nice presence that centers me into a new accepting self of what Is, Lau Tzu has helped as well as Ryokan. They don't seems to go as far forward as your revelations and so I must return back to your Pearls and continue on. I guess some of the old guys were influenced by their times and places and religions. One needs to really deposit the Ego into never never land in order to create something new on a canvas cleaned of the antiquated Historical Religious Script. Conditioning goes deep in our brain and it takes time and repetition for most of us to write new belief systems in our neocortex that will play louder than the old entrenched belief tapes. Well, these are all words. Time to get back to just hangin' out, letting Destiny do its thing. I had a series of dreams in 5 days that mellowed out my existence. I seemed to grasp, know, understand the whole coin rather than just the two contradictory sides of the coin, eg. right/wrong. After accepting the whole picture, I'll someday throw away the whole coin of duality, that is, when Destiny is damn well ready for that to happen, if it ever happens. Thanks again. With best regards, Destini PS. When I was immersed in Conversations With God, I was in a study group and inspired two more to start in Key West. I'd love to have such a group now to Satsang with like people. I live in Guatemala part of the year and part in good ole' US of A. Thanks again.

Nadeen: My good friend and spiritual partner, Charles Kessler, told me, as he has for the last 20 years, to immediatly go out and buy From Onions to Pearls, as it was the best spiritual book he has ever read.... He is correct . Thank you so much for your words and understanding of the nature of reality..It comes a perfect time(how else could it arrive.) I look forward to seeing you in San Rafael for Satsang, and some day in Costa Rica, are children welcome in the Costa Rica retreats?..

of yourself & the books content, whilst I feel really lucky
to have encountered it. I'd yearn to Wake. Paul Cilia polcilia@yahoo.com Malta - September 18, 1999 |

Hi mate, your web address found its way into my hands, yesterday. So nice m.b.o can here the simple truth. The deliverance is just unfolding never as the mind thinks. Thoughts really have little wait now. The underlining feeling of nothing ever happened is prevalent. The body went through many lethargic months not being called into interaction with the movie. It travelled to Thailand, and India mainly watching the script with not so many speaking parts. Seeing many m.b.o sharing there truth in satsang. What a carnival. Divine misinformation in the name of compassion. Interesting to watch the contractions as unique versions of nothing were shared, always revealing another view. A large number seem confused with the fact that some gurus are saying you have choice to wake up, and some saying there is no choice. The understanding revealed itself that, as one is seeing only subject now, unlimited awareness, then in truth that awareness can do anything it wants, unfortunately the fictitious doer hears the words and thinks its talking to it, by revealing you are not the doer, one is talking to the fictitious concept to destroy the concept. Trouble arises when the concepts are held as valuable and not both dropped. Ramana says it all, no destiny, no freewill. By revealing no doership allows the doer to investigate itself, thus revealing its nonexistance. This shift in this limited view is information and not transformation. No censorship, accepting wacky codes of manifestation as unique expressions drawing no fixed conclusions regarding anything. Silence is wonderful bless you for sharing the nonexperience, in love and gratitude, once again, thanks for nothing. Noel. Noel nondoer@hotmail.com Ubud, Bali Indonesia - August 09, 1999 |

Nadeen, Thank you for your words of wisdom. In the brief conversation we had (by phone) something really 'happened' to 'me'. Your words seemed to penetrate my very Being. I am still experiencing the shock waves. Strange, the conversation seemed such a non-event to the mind. Inside however 'I' was immediately aware of how enormous it really was - IS actually. I have heard it all before. Yet somehow the way you expressed it, the ripeness of my seeking, the timing has precipitated - something... The phrase that most impacted my Being was your response to my question 'how does one permanently abide in the fourth dimension?' You said, so simply, 'when you no longer are trying to'. Something has been shifting ever since that phrase entered my awareness. It feels to me that it resonates with your description of hearing those potent words that finally sunk in for you. I know I have done nothing. And somewhere I know there is nothing to do. I have known this for some time, but I know it more fully now. Its just as you say, it happens of it's own accord. Grace. I knew from the depths of my Being when I first saw your video that I have already awakened. Nothing the mind says (or anyone else's mind) can touch that. My life has been your description of deliverance for some time. The mind cannot 'get' it. This I know. What happens from here? I doesn't seem to matter in any profound way. I'm watching, so I'll see as it comes. Will I ever fully live as Source knowing Itself through this form? I don't know. I don't need to know. And, there is nothing for me to do. Grace is the only Doer. Bless you. Namaste. Karen McPhee kmcphee@telusplanet.net Vancouver, BC Canada - July 31, 1999 |

I also have been very influenced by Nisargadatta and have experienced Ramesh's darshan firsthand and had been wondering why I hadn't "gotten it" (except of course, conceptually). Now I understand. That is, I think I do hahaha. Swadhin Gary Falk gary.falk@bcbsnc.com Durham, NC USA - July 23, 1999 |

Although I have only read a few pages of From Onions to Pearls, I already know that this is the real thing, as far as Enlightenment (the seekers' Holy Grail) is concerned. I eagerly await my own awakening as I climb up those 600 or 6000 or 6,000,000 steps. Thanks. Swadhin Gary Falk gary.falk@bcbsnc Durham, NC USA - July 23, 1999 |

Beloved Nadeen,
What a blessing to have had Satsang with you in Austin at the New Directions in Corrections Seminar. Your book From Onions to Pearls was received like an oasis by a very parched reader!!! My prison has been that of needing to become.....to do....and in that identification I all but died in the throws of depression . Ram Dass planted the seed many years ago. Your work is helping me harvest "Be Here Now" as I am beginning to peek out from Source as Source. I am looking forward to your return to Austin in Nov. How do I receive your newsletter?

Dear Satyam Nadeen,
Reading From Onions to Pearls was delicious!!!
It came in my hands by mail as a gift (no kidding), around a week after "wake up"... And I'm very grateful to share your insight on Deliverance... at times I have been some what confused and your guidance is being essential in my path. Thank you. I hope to be with you soon.

Dear Satyam Nadeen,
Thank you for the depth of insights you have presented in your From Onions to Pearls book. I am in anticipation of your next release! Can you tell me if there may be any possibility of enticing you to come to the Boulder, Colorado area? I understand that you have been there before and I was curious if your travels may some day include this area again.
Also, you speak of a transition from the third to the fourth dimension awareness. Is this transition experienced by a "self"? In other words, who is having this experience of being in fourth dimension? Is this state temporary, or is dimensionality the "movement" of Source? Is there a constant "movement" of Source, an infinite and unstoppable expression of that? Where did "you" leave off and awareness of Source as all that is begin or happen? What was your experience of losing your "self"? How has "no-self"only Source been revealed? Have you had any "dark night of the soul". How does faith and passivity play into the occurrence of what is, if at all? If Source is all that is, does "self" become lost in that? Or, is there no self and never has been and we are only coming into the awareness of our true self? SOURCE! This is all quite curious!
Thank you for the opportunity to contact you. I look forward to any reply you can offer.
Warmly, Connie Connie Sullivan conniesullivan@yahoo.com Colorado Springs, Colorado USA - June 13, 1999 |

Dear Nadeen,
I look forward to your next book, although I think it will be mostly a funride, because From Onions to Pearls was the last spiritual or self-help book ever needed!
What a thrill to know you as a pearl...actually, you're pretty much onion fun, too! I'll never forget our times together in San Diego and in Fairfield...
I laugh all the time about our first meeting in Fond du Lac, when you met my son Zak and ushered in lots of changes in his life as well as mine.
Gratitude...I overfloweth...in tears and laughter.
