This is a message to anyone who feels dissatisfied in life, or with life. It could be that you have stumbled across this article by chance, or that the title seemed appetizing, appealing, and promising for some answers.
Answers for the deeper questions that arise for you. For your life. The questions are usually posed like this: How can I be happy? How can I be free? Where do I go, or what can I do to be fulfilled or completely at peace and one with everything?
The seeker
In your life, you have always known a journey in time moving through situations and circumstances, riding the waves of difficult emotions, unpleasant thoughts, and unwanted behaviors. There has possibly been the idea that you can control life’s outcomes and move steadily on a path toward better emotions, a more regulated body and mind, and comfortable, beneficial relationships. A path based on hope, meaning, and purpose, all married with time. This is the search for happiness, not happiness as an emotion or a pleasant experience, but lasting fulfillment, complete wholeness beyond time, space, and any other limitations.
What you long for, what you deeply desire beyond all other hopes, dreams, and desires is Wholeness & Unconditional Love. And you long for it, because you feel separate from it. This separation is born out of a contracted energy that seems to appear within the human body which is of no substance or solidity at all. When this contraction is in place, it breeds a sense of ‘me, myself & I’, which is felt as real, solid & secure, but it isn’t, and that insubstantiality becomes clear when there are ‘glimpses’ of wholeness.
The end of seeking & the seeker
Sometimes either spontaneously, or sometimes listening to a speaker of Non-Duality, there can be an apparent temporary release of this contracted energy of the body which reveals the wholeness of everything, and during that release, there is a total absence of a sense of self, there is just what appears to be happening, and then through habit and/or momentum, the contraction seems to re-center in the body. This is called a glimpse, but it is not something that happens to you, it is the absence of you. Sometimes there can be a fluctuation between glimpses and contractions and then one day the contraction doesn’t come back and then there is simply the complete release back into everything and this is Liberation, Wholeness, and Unconditional Love revealed, which is timeless and has never not been.
Wholeness hides from the knower
Wholeness has never not been, it is everything, it only appears to be missing to the one looking for it, by being separate from everything that it is knowing, the person longs for the ocean of wholeness as though a fish could search everywhere for water. And in that respect, wholeness hides in plain sight, it is beyond all limitations, conditions, and concepts, and yet it is everything, it is the very eyes that read these words, it is the body sitting on the chair, it is the birds singing, it is even the one looking for it, it is inescapable and yet completely boundless and free, and this communication simply points the abundant simplicity and obviousness of this out.
There is nowhere to go to find this, there is nothing that can be done to make this more this, there is no process that can bring about what is already because wholeness is beyond space and time and so in that respect, everything is already incomprehensibly free and Unconditional Love.
For those who resonate with this message of radical freedom, you can find more information on my YouTube channel and website, tune in to live-streamed YouTube meetings, in-person meetings, Zoom meetings, and other events too, which can bring about the clear recognition of absolute freedom beyond conditionality.

Alexis Knight, Executive Contributor Brainz Magazine
Alexis communicates Non-Duality. After recognising that all practices to get somewhere with is only perpetuating the search and the searcher, Alexis recognised that this is everything, it is already whole and complete, and the I is no longer sustained in this fullness. This is the message of Non Duality that is shared from here. Public, private and online meetings are accessed on this subject, as are videos and writings.
