I snipped this from an e-mail that I penned to a fellow meditator at Castle Hill. I thought it was worth posting as it is a pretty good summary of what I teach on Wednesday and Friday evenings.
I teach that you are already free, but that you think otherwise. It all comes down to mistakenly imagining yourself to be things that you are not like thoughts, feelings, and sensations.
The most important things in an sound 'spiritual' practice is to pay attention to your own direct experience and to trust that there is nothing hidden. The Truth does not play hide and seek with us. When we finally exhaust ourselves and stop the endless seeking (surrender) we come to see that it is the very seeking itself that causes all the problems. When the seeking ceases we come to realize that life as it appears right here right now is ABSOLUTELY IMPERSONAL.
Establish a regular meditation and prayer practice, read what the wise ones (like Jesus, Moses and Muhammad) have to say, believe and obey (surrender to) what they suggest and you will see that "the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand".
