BREAKING OUT INTO NO-SELF |

 Our Second Editorial: Gary Nixon, PhD
In working with individuals and groups in nondual psychotherapy, I always laugh a little black-heartedly to myself when the “rubber hits the road”, and I see terror rising in people’s eyes as they start to figure out what the process is all about. As controversial author Jed McKenna (2002) wrote of this central issue:
"Fear of the hollow core. Fear of the black hole within. Fear of non-being. Fear of no-self. The fear of no-self is the mother of all fears, the one upon which all others are based. No fear is so small or petty that the fear of no-self isn’t at its heart. All fear is ultimately fear of no-self. And what is enlightenment…but a swan dive into the abyss of no-self" (p.7). What a wonderful definition for this journal: “a swan dive into the abyss of no-self”.
