Francis Lucille: Nonduality, physics & philosophy

"When we don't carry any unsubstantiated beliefs about consciousness, something happens. Consciousness then is allowed to be what it truly is. It liberates itself." - Francis Lucille

Francis Lucille brings the precision of his training in physics and mathematics to his teaching of nonduality: the simple and direct recognition of your true nature. Rupert Spira studied with him for 12 years, and his previous dialogues with Bernardo covered enlightenment, AI and physics.

Words at zero distance

A highlight from their previous conversation was the observation that most words refer to something distant, or absent. Saying 'table' or 'chair' does not immediately conjure those things into your experience. But the words 'being', 'consciousness' and 'I' are different. What they refer to is already present in the experience of hearing them. They are recognised within themselves. When the sound dissolves, what remains in the timeless experience you already have.

This singularity, for Francis, is the foundation of philosophy, which Bernardo called "the most original and compelling definition of philosophy I have heard."

This coming Tuesday, their dialogue continues, bridging their shared love of science and philosophy with Lucille's teaching of nonduality.

Joining details below. I look forward to seeing you there,

About Francis Lucille

Francis Lucille studied mathematics and physics at the École Polytechnique in Paris. After graduating, he worked on missile testing for the French armed forces, but ceased all weapons-related work after discovering the writings of J. Krishnamurti.

That encounter began an intense search into the nature of reality, which found its resolution shortly after meeting Advaita Vedanta teacher Jean Klein in 1975. Francis remained a close student and friend until Klein's death in 1998.

Francis teaches internationally, bringing together the precision of his scientific background with a direct investigation of consciousness and experience. He has also translated works by Eastern and Western sages, including Meister Eckhart, Shankara and Parmenides.
