Jim Newman
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Jim was born in New Orleans and lives in the USA. Never satisfied with the canned answers offered by religion or spirituality, he looked to science, psychology and philosophy for answers.
In his early twenties, he experienced an awakening that completely upended his search within the
realm of what could be known.
Not understanding what had happened, he turned to those who claimed to know: spiritual teachers and gurus. But it didn’t work. The practices and explanations didn’t resonate. The awakening had made it unmistakably clear that what is truly longed for lies beyond all of that.
Though he continued to practice, he remained unconvinced. Then he encountered a radical message—one that stated, without compromise, that there is no one. Upon truly hearing this, the dream and the dreamer dissolved. Never having happened.
And yet, all of this being said: there is no path to what is.
