A TIM FREKE “You don't get oneness by disappearing — that would be oneness with a hole in it!

 A

Tim Freke is a contemporary philosopher and spiritual teacher known for his unique approach to non-duality, which he calls "Paralogical Thinking" or "Emergent Spirituality."

Tim Freke’s Approach to Non-Duality

Unlike traditional Advaita Vedanta or Buddhist non-duality (which emphasize the illusion of separateness and the absolute oneness of reality), Freke embraces a "both/and" perspective:

  1. Deep Awake State – He encourages awakening to a "Deep I"—a state of presence and unity with all existence.

  2. Paralogical Thinking – Instead of rejecting duality, he embraces both oneness and individuality as paradoxically true.

  3. Emergent Spirituality – He believes consciousness and meaning are evolving, rather than being static truths.

Key Ideas in His Non-Duality Teachings

  • Oneness & Separateness Coexist – Rather than seeing individuality as an illusion, he sees it as part of the "Oneness Expressing Itself."

  • Love as the Essence of Awakening – Unlike traditional non-dual approaches that emphasize detachment, Freke sees love and connection as central.

  • Life is a Dream-like Reality – He explores consciousness as a dream, but emphasizes engagement with life rather than transcendence.
