This website continues the exploration started in the book The First and Last Belief: a theory of Liberation in the age of neuroscience by Monica Khosla. The book describes the sudden, apparently permanent, dropping away of the false sense of being a separate self.
Along the way, we will look more at awakening, liberation and the nature of apparent separation, alongside different, but equally interesting questions about wellbeing, therapy, meditation and the nature of suffering.
In the absence of the illusory sense of separation, it is obvious that there is only undivided Consciousness in which all the richness and diversity of experience arises. The First and Last Belief opens up a discussion about how current neuroscience might frame this sort of sudden insight/ dropping away of illusion, and what this might offer as an alternative to some more traditional or ‘spiritual’ perspectives.
At the same time it recognises the paradoxical truth that there is nothing that can ever really be known for sure.
Below you will find recently added articles/ videos. More of these can be found on the Further Exploration pages. Some involve questions that people have asked about the book or related subjects. If you have a question you would like me to attempt to answer here, or anything else you would like to see on the site, please do let me know.
