Free Spirit

As the title suggests, Free Spirit is a practical and profound pointing to the reader’s enlightened nature, a state of radiant peace that is entirely beyond human sorrow and suffering. For those of us who desire to be free, Sundance takes us by the hand and walks with us through the entire landscape of the egoic mind, until we reach its outer boundary. Here, he invites us to take a leap of Self-faith into simply being awareness. Will we survive? Sundance says: “Who you think you are will not survive and who you are is never threatened. However, only by the leap can this be realized. Truly, all you surrender is your suffering and Now is the time.”

However, only by the leap can this be realized. Truly, all you surrender is your suffering and Now is the time.” Within this book you will find answered and unanswered questions, humor, poetic prose, experimentation with consciousness and passages that illuminate the sense that we are far more than our thoughts, emotions, senses, body and energy. The entire venture is directed to our essence, that we might realize our Free Spirit. Sundance demonstrates the light-hearted wisdom and spontaneous creativity that is the energy signature of liberated Consciousness. Every word in this book is sourced by the power of silent Truth.

Sundance Burke is a spiritual teacher and the author of Free Spirit, A Guide to Enlightened Being. Sundance was born in Seattle, Washington under the given name, Donald Russell Burke III. He is a graduate of the University of Washington and the Gonzaga School of Law. While traveling as a lawyer in 1982, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening that left him with only one question of interest: Who am I? After many years of futile search for a true answer, the gap between the seeker and the sought spontaneously dissolved into mind-free and heart-full awareness of being. After this blessed transformation in 1999, he began to share the teachings of Self-realization together with his wife, Katie Davis, author of Awake Joy - The Essence of Enlightenment. Since then, Sundance has been accepting invitations throughout our world to share his authentic presence and the non-dual “innerstanding” of Self. Sundance deeply honors the sacred essence within all spiritual traditions.
