CORE TRUTHS

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Core truths essential to live your best life:

    • You are an infinite field of consciousness experiencing earth life in finite human form. Awakening to this reality is not enough. You must cultivate your signature strengths with daily atomic habits in alignment with your highest values to realize your true nature.

    • The universe is a river of opposites (yang-yin, dual/non-dual, finite/infinite). Learn to flourish using the full spectrum via dual/non-dual paths.

    • Make peace with uncertainty, imperfection, and impermanence.

    • The four noble truths: There is suffering, a cause of suffering, an end of suffering, and a path to end suffering.

    • The Five Catalysts to Awakening are antidotes to the Five Hinderances.

      • Five Catalysts (Mindfulness, Investigation, Joy, Tranquility, Concentration)

      • Five Hinderances (Sensual Desire, Illwill, Sloth-Torpor, Restlessness-Worry, Doubt)

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  • “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”—Pablo Picasso

  • “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”—Dalai Lama

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

Namaste,
