That Is That: Essays About True Nature

That Is That is a collection of articles and answers to questions posed by spiritual seekers. It captures the essence of spiritual inquiry and provides the reader with a real transmission of Presence on every page. It is much more than an exposition about our true nature as infinite consciousness, it offers an experiential exploration of who we really are, not only through the transmission in the words, but through the many thoughtful questions it raises. Nirmala's warm-hearted and accepting presence makes it possible to drop into the space he so eloquently describes, where peace, love, and joy abide. He is a master at helping you fall in love with life and the many expressions of the one Being we all are.

This is a new, expanded and revised edition (released August, 2010) and now includes the essay, Beyond No Self, which was offered separately before..

Nothing Personal: Seeing Beyond the Illusion of a Separate Self

Free excerpt of Part 1 only of this edited collection of Advaita satsang talks and dialogues. In this book, Nirmala "welcomes whatever arises within the field of experience. In the midst of this welcoming is always an invitation to inquire deeply within, to the core of who and what you are.

Radiance: Experiencing Divine Presence

This 50-page free ebook by Gina Lake, Nirmala's wife, shows you how to experience the divine in the world in simple ways by being very present. It is possible to experience the mysterious truth that everything is an expression of the divine by paying close attention to the many signs that reveal this great Mystery. Radiance: Experiencing Divine Presence points out these clues so that you can more easily recognize yourself as the divine—that which is creating and has created this you that you think you are and all that this you is experiencing. It had this effect on one reader: "Your words are of great joy to me and very comforting…my heart expanded so much, I thought it would burst." It was given to Gina by Theo, the six-dimensional teacher she has been working with for over twenty years.

What About Now? Reminders for Being in the Moment

The secret to happiness is moving out of the mind and learning to delight in each moment. In What About Now, you will find over 150 quotes from Gina Lake’s books—Loving in the Moment, Embracing the Now, Radical Happiness, and others—that will inspire and enable you to be more present. These empowering quotes will wake you up out of your ordinary consciousness and help you live with more love, contentment, gratitude, and awe. Here is a sample: "Surrender happens simply and naturally whenever we stop paying attention to our mind’s version of life and start paying attention to life, itself, as it is coming out of the Now. There’s something else to do besides think! And that is to notice, to be aware of what is happening now. Notice, look, feel, listen, sense, and give yourself fully to the experience you are having, and you will drop into the Now."

Radical Happiness: A Guide to Awakening

Radical Happiness: A Guide to Awakening provides the keys to experiencing the happiness that is always present and not dependent on circumstances. This happiness doesn't come from getting what we want, but from wanting what is here now. It comes from realizing that who we think we are, that is, who our thoughts tell us we are is not who we really are. This is a radical perspective! True happiness comes from experiencing our true nature by being present in each moment.

Radical Happiness describes the nature of the egoic state of consciousness, how the ego interferes with happiness, what awakening and enlightenment are, and how to live in this world following awakening. Exercises are included to help you apply the information and transform your experience of life-and become happier!
