Questioner: Dear sir, thank you so much for replying, though I still have a few more question I wish to ask and I want to get clarified. One of the questions is, what exactly happens during self-realization, when a person is becoming self-realized?

James: I can see you are new to this. There is an article through a link at the home page of the website, called New to Non-Duality? Read it. I can’t explain the basics to everyone who writes. That is why I have a website and books. Once you get up to speed you can write and I can help you.

Questioner: Some people say they go into a trance for a couple of days, that’s what I heard from famous gurus.

James: “Some people” are idiots. No trances are involved.

Questioner: Or do you see the whole universe?

James: Nobody every saw a universe, except on TV.

Questioner: Also, does the individual feel that they are self-realized now?

James: I do not understand this question. It does not make any sense.

Questioner: And the one question that comes to me is, how to get to self-realization? I need help and also, how long can it take?

James: Then you need to read my book How to Attain Enlightenment. It tells in detail. Or you can order a USB stick with the Self Inquiry Toronto videos on it.

It is cheap and it has the basic information.

Questioner: I want to become self-realized because I wish to know the truth, and we are all born human so we can become self-realized.

James: It’s a good desire, and you are smart to ask what it is all about before you set out on the journey or you will become hopelessly confused.

Questioner: Thank you again, James.
