About this blog…

I began writing the Advaitaholics Anonymous blog in 2018 on Facebook. It gained a steady following among many veteran spiritual seekers in a very short time. Since then, I have published three books under the same title and, more recently, moved to substack as my primary writing platform in 2023.

Advaitaholics Anonymous was also published in book form by New Sarum Press in the Fall of 2020 with the subtitle: Sobering Insights for Spiritual Addicts. A second volume was published in the Fall of 2021 titled: A Manifesto for Spiritual Anarchy. Finally, a third volume was published in the Fall of 2022 titled: An Antidote to Spiritual Enlightenment.

‘Advaitaholic’ is a term that I coined in reference to the phenomenon of spiritual addiction; an addiction that plagues so many seekers who claim to be in search of a higher truth, transcendence, awakening, enlightenment, liberation or whatever other form that holy grail may take. And although the term appears to single out Advaita (the hindu doctrine of non-duality) as its focus, it is much broader than that. It encompasses all forms of spiritual belief systems and doctrine. 

Spirituality is a highly personal business. It is a person’s unique relationship with reality. Yet, the moment it is taken out of the person and objectified in the form of a system of thought it is no longer a personal affair. Once it is made concrete for others to congregate and build a community or culture around then that spirituality—our own relationship with reality—ceases to be the focal point. 

When common sense becomes the highest form of wisdom to which we can aspire, and sanity the greatest kind of enlightenment, then it is safe to say that the path of recovery has truly begun.
