Thank you Roger for your generosity, dedication, sensitivity and deep insight into human nature.
What a priceless gift to see where I was trapped for decades; how elegant and simple the teaching can be!
"Roger Castillo's / Ramesh Balsekar's non-dual teachings have been an absolute game-changer for me in bringing happiness and peace of mind to my life. I would love to discuss these teachings with other interested people in a friendly and respectful environment. With this purpose in mind, I have created a Discord server. If you are interested in discussing these teachings, feel free to join me. Thanks."

Holger Hub-bs:
Most of 'my' life I was more or less introverted, a loner. I read only a few books, but listened to cassette tapes, related to "spirituality".
It seems that I only passively consumed the materials as pain-killers. My capacity to inquire, the quality of thinking and the bravery of feeling was very limited.
And this went on for decades! Always waiting for life to send 'me' a miracle.
Practical peace of mind
Roger's unique style of Satsang and the opportunity to ask him questions live on Zoom made a huge difference for me!
Wow...
Beginning to understand the mechanism of my self-entertained suffering and being deeply touched by Roger's presence and mental capacity was like being born again.
Inter-human relationships?
When I started with Roger's Zoom Live Satsangs the Chat feature was turned on, and I must have bothered many people with my interrupting comments... Sorry!!!
But the great part for me was that I could ask several people for their email address; people I could relate to, whose questions and sharing resonated in me.
Quite amazing to suddenly have some Satsang friends to whom I could relate with my seeming fear, excitement, confusion and pain; all of this in the atmosphere of the covid drama, the end of the world, with limited supplies of paper towels and toilet paper...
I could experience first-hand the preciousness of inter-human relationships, in the atmosphere of Roger's Satsang: openness, peace, trust, intelligence, forgiveness...
I had some good Zoom meetings and email exchanges with my new Roger Friends; being able to feel myself, to hear myself, to get out of the bubble of my life-long me-misery was/is priceless.
Trying to explain someone the "teaching" in my own words and moment in time (simply as an exercise) and being able to ask questions or to share challenges was/is so good! It made me feel alive.
Social Media...?
Reading and commenting online happens all in my own head/imagination, alone at the computer; but I wanted some heart-felt exchanges.
I tried out Woz's Discord Server...
Maybe I was just afraid of the word 'discord', because I had more than enough of it. For me the Discord Server experience was too fragmented, too loud, too much of my old head. I want something more quiet, private, something more in-team. Rush or hush?
BeingTogether.Live
BeingTogether.Live is a private WordPress website, currently in incubating mode; but I see great potential in it. Not as a one-trick pony in an Advaita niche, but as a pattern for human beings in general: to open up, to discover, to connect; beyond the old hi-and-bye.
For all kinds of (practical) human topics and needs; life is more than paying bills and being busy being busy.
The pieces and the potential is there, but I am still procrastinating/waiting for someone with whom I can think and talk about the project, to get my own thinking and attitude straight.
Sorry for so many words (-; still so much "me" in all of that.
If you feel like it, say hello via email and/or have a Zoom time, without the requirement to make sense:

Common Sense, Vision/Impulse
It is so ridiculous how (theoretically) simple it is! Unbroken peace of mind is not dependent on circumstances; greed and fear are just faulty thinking, erroneous identification?
So crazy to see the avoidable confusion, waste, exploitation and inhumanity on this planet. Most of the excitement and plastic-fantastic of our 'modern world' seems just like a painful detour/lesson/joke/yoke... ease up mr rastaman?
We are the current wave of humanity...
I love quiet and peace, but seeing our nine year old daughter grow up deeply stirs me and makes me wonder what we can be/do together, you and me?
Is there anything to be learned, something to be contributed?
"God's will" makes sense at a certain stage, ... but the story doesn't end there; God is not "another".
God is a drama queen...
So much could be done on the Internet, here and now:
Spirituality 101 for Dummies
A directory to foster human connections/discoveries.
A new attitude for money and investments.
Learning how to think/collaborate.
Sustainable income...
Be Knowingly...
School curricula, teaching tools, cool simple diagrams...
Center for Art, Education & Commerce
Celebrating Life.
Is all of this is just more left-over "me" ignorance, trying to survive?
Thank you for your patience.
Happiness through peace of mind in daily living...
Not to let it degrade into another belief!
Who? cares.
