This Radiant Space
A shared inquiry
into experience.
Not another account
of reality.
A way of looking again at
what is already here.
The inquiry
What is This Radiant Space?
This Radiant Space is a shared inquiry into what is actually here.
Experience is almost immediately understood as a familiar world: a body in a room, a person with a past, other people, objects, distances, problems and possibilities.
That interpretation is useful. But when it is taken as a complete account, the immediacy of experience disappears behind what we think it is.
The inquiry is very simple: look again. Feel what is present. Examine what is actually found, and what is being supplied by memory, assumption and imagination.
What is here is not obscure or hidden. It is this ordinary experience, before the familiar description is allowed to settle it.

For those familiar with non-duality
When understanding is not enough
You may already understand that there is no separate self, that this is already it, or that awareness is always present.
But even the clearest teaching can become another framework laid over experience. The old assumptions remain in place, now expressed in new language.
This inquiry does not offer a better non-dual account. It asks you to look at what is actually here, and to examine whether the familiar self, world and spiritual story are found in the way they are assumed to be.
