‘I don’t know what the future will bring, but I know I want compassion to be a part of it’.

A few years ago, I reached a moment of clarity—and it hasn’t faded. On one hand, so much is going well. There is an overwhelming beauty to being alive, and missing it is a loss of unimaginable proportions. We’re living in astonishing times: nuclear fusion is moving from theory to reality, governments have openly acknowledged the existence of UFOs, psychedelic research is reshaping mental health, and breakthroughs in neuroscience, CRISPR, synthetic biology, and quantum technologies are unfolding at breathtaking speed. What a time to be alive.

And yet, things can also feel… dire. Incessant warfare—human beings firing exploding rockets at other human beings—is a sign of profound disconnection. We face nuclear instability, accelerating AI and robotics, climate disruption, global device addiction, and governments too slow or too captured by corporate interests to truly protect the public. Kennedy and Eisenhower warned us about this back in 1961, by the way.

Whatever happens next, one truth remains: compassion is not optional. It’s how we survive—individually and collectively.

Nondual Communication

I chose the name ‘Nondual Communication’ because it brings together the two streams that inspire my work the most: Nonviolent Communication and non-dual insight.

To me, the core of NVC has always been non-dual. When we connect — truly connect — what we experience is not just empathy or understanding; it is the quiet recognition that we are not separate. Connection is a lived glimpse of non-separation, revealed through language, attention, and presence.

Non-dual insight shows us that the self/other boundary is porous, fluid, and in some ways illusory.

NVC gives us the practices that allow this truth to be embodied in relationship.

So for me, Non-Dual Communication isn’t a clever fusion — it’s the name for an underlying reality: that communication is the art of remembering our shared being.

It’s also a beautiful coincidence that the Aletheia method, which I later discovered, is rooted in the same non-dual foundation. It felt like a confirmation of my poetic intuition — as if everything I had been studying and practicing was quietly pointing in the same direction.
