OCEAN OF SILENCE is a collection of writings and poems pointing to a non-dualistic understanding of reality. Concise and vibrant, these aphoristic poems question long-held notions of self and offer another possibility.Billy Doyle teaches Yoga in the Kashmir Tradition, with a foundation of non-duality. He experienced a strong spiritual orientation as a child and felt a particular resonance with the non-duality teachings of the East.In the 1980's he encountered Jean Klein, a master of Advaita Vedanta and Yoga. He was deeply affected by Dr.Klein's presence and teaching and spent many years attending his retreats and dialogues. Jean Klein has been the underlying inspiration for his own teaching.He is also the author of Yoga in the Kashmir Tradition: the art of listening and The Mirage of Separation, his first collection of poems on non-duality.

These lively talks and dialogs are about seeing through the illusion of separation and waking up to the boundless wholeness that is all there is. They take on perennial questions such as: Who am I? Is there a way out of personal and global suffering? Can we choose to stop addictive and destructive patterns? What does it mean to be awake? What is enlightenment? Does waking up take effort, vigilance and practice, or is it effortlessly and unavoidably always already the case? What happens when we die? Joan questions all attempts to conceptually grasp and frame the movement of life, and she points to what remains when everything that can be doubted drops away. She talks about seeing through the stories and beliefs that create our human suffering and waking up to the simplicity of what is, as it is -- the ever-present, ever-changing seamlessness of being. Joan's approach is open and explorative, not methodical or dogmatic. For those struggling to reconcile the emphasis on "being here now" in some teachings with the uncompromising "this is it, just as it is" message of radical nonduality, Joan brings them together beautifully. With subtlety and humor, these talks reveal the perfection in apparent imperfection, the extraordinary in what appears most ordinary, and the freedom of being what you can't not be.
