Talks with Wayne Liquorman in Barcelona
with Wayne Liquorman
Three days of talks with Wayne Liquorman, a teacher of pure Advaita in the lineage of Ramesh Balsekar, who called Wayne his "spiritual son." Liquorman's path is unusual: a family man running a successful export business when he met Balsekar in 1987; by 1989, as he puts it with characteristic dryness, "enlightenment happened through the body-mind mechanism called Wayne" — an event he describes as "of interest only to seekers." His teaching is Advaita stripped of dogma and new-age veneer — uncompromising, often funny, and delivered without agenda, arising only in response to the questions people bring. He points to consciousness as the ground and substance of everything, and to what he calls "divine hypnosis": the grand illusion that we are separate, independent entities. He first wrote under the pen name Ram Tzu ("No Way: A Guide for the Spiritually 'Advanced'") and is the author of Acceptance of What Is, Never Mind, Enlightenment Is Not What You Think, and The Way of Powerlessness, among others. These Barcelona talks are held in English and Spanish. You can come with questions or simply listen.
