Philip is the Sheik for the 'Turning' group at Colet House. He studied with Dr Francis Roles for many years. He talks about becoming seriously ill. 'I had always thought that it was possible to change my attitude to any situation. With the illness, I realised that there was a stage where you couldn't. You could have a good attitude either side of the experience, but not while you were in it, ….when the illness was deep in the brain, there was no way out until it passed, and you just had to allow the experience to be what it was. I was having to assimilate the idea of illness and suffering as a gift - what looked like suffering …could often have a transforming effect on the deeper spiritual levels.'

Wayne Liquorman was a spiritual seeker and a family man with a successful export business, when he met his first and final guru, Ramesh Balsekar, in September 1987. In April 1989 the process of seeking ended with enlightenment. Wayne describes the event as being 'of interest only to seekers.' His first book, "No Way: A Guide for the Spiritually Advanced" was published in 1990 under the pen name Ram Tzu because he 'didn't want a bunch of miserable seekers cluttering up his living room.' Wayne did not speak publicly until Ramesh asked him to do so in 1996. The enlightenment event and its aftermath are described in Wayne's second book, "Acceptance of What Is" published in 2000. He is also the author of "Never Mind... A journey into Non-Duality". Wayne edited Consciousness Speaks and several other books by Ramesh Balsekar.

'The Open Secret communication can only point to the simple wonders of being and attempt to illuminate the futility of seeking for it. It does not accept or reject the teachings of spiritual path or process, but it will expose, without compromise, the singular and fundamental misconception that drives the belief that there is something called a seeker that needs to find something else called enlightenment. The Open Secret does not compromise with the needs and expectations of the seeker. Neither does it attempt to attract or please with promises of an easy and pleasant experience of liberation.' Tony talks about Non-Duality and his early life and experiences. He is the author of several books including, "As It Is: The Open Secret of Spiritual Awakening" and "Invitation to Awaken: Embracing Our Natural State of Presence".
