Kat writes about nonduality as a simple truth that can be realized in our ordinary lives. When it's discovered beyond further doubt that separation and the self are illusions, the quality of life improves drastically — although paradoxically nothing changes.

Katrijn is the author of three books: Selfless Leadership, Beyond Illusion, and Seeing No-Self. She also writes the Daily Nonduality publication on Substack.

The discovery of no-self can be made through empirical investigation of direct experience. You observe, test, and prove this to yourself. It’s not complicated. With some clear instruction and enough motivation, anyone can do it.

This is so suitable to our times. We don’t want another belief system. We're skeptics. But we also yearn to transcend our ridiculous self-obsession, our meaningless pursuit of more and better making us miserable.

Nondual realization is the simple recognition that the separate self we believe we are limited to, is an illusion. Identification with the self was an innocent mistake. Unconditional joy follows naturally from this discovery.
