Abstract
This article summarizes the pivotal task of moving into nondual awareness by seeing through the veil of the
separate self. Formerly this nondual state was understood as the final stage in an arduous journey of ego-transcendence; but nondual psychotherapists are now recognizing this nondual state as readily available
to clients as part of the therapeutic process. The first author recounts his own journey of seeing through the
illusion of the separate self and embracing nondual awareness. Following this, he presents a nondual
psychotherapy case study describing the process of a client having an awakening experience – the letting go
of her egoic separate self in the moment – and her subsequent realization that surrendering is not a one-time
event but an ongoing process.
