About - N-lightenment -

Who is Chaitanya (Peter Cutler)?

I go by the name Chaitanya.

Before that, I was known as Peter.

Nothing essential has changed.

What you see here
is not a teacher in the usual sense.

It is simply someone
in whom the sense of
a separate self
has fallen away.

And what remains
is available to you as well.

There is something in you
that is already whole.

Not something to develop.
Not something to achieve.

Something that is already here.

This is what all of this points to.

Not through belief.
But through direct recognition.

Awakening first occurred
when I was twenty-two.

For a time,
there was no sense of separation.

Then it returned.

What followed
were many years of seeking.

And eventually,

a clear and stable recognition
of what had always been present.

Nothing new was gained.

Something false
simply fell away.

In conversation,
in Satsang,
and in private sessions,

something can become clear.

Not because something is given to you.

But because
what is already here
is easier to recognize.

Sometimes this is felt as:

There is no method being taught.

Only a direct looking
at what is.

If something here resonates,
you are welcome to explore.

That resonance is important.

Your mind may not fully understand.
That’s OK.

Awakening has very little
to do with the mind.

And everything to do
with that resonance.
