Francis Lucille (born 1944 in France) is a spiritual teacher and author currently residing in California.[1] He has been holding dialogues and meditation sessions throughout the world, helping people to abide in their own natural state. Francis gently guides through words and a powerful silence.[2]


Early life

[edit]

After graduating from the École Polytechnique, Paris, in 1966, he worked as a mathematician and physicist.[1]

Teachings

[edit]

Lucille points to timeless essence, awareness, as the real substance of our world and body, offering a direct way to end fear and suffering.[1] His teaching is through the direct path. The direct path takes this ultimate goal as a starting point. Direct Path Teachers challenge the traditional belief that long periods of sadhana are needed by anyone seeking truth, since we are already realized. They say, why wait until the end of the purification process? The mind has no power to prevent one from recognizing their true nature, unless one postpones in order to prevent this realization.


In contrast, a gradual path is one that proceeds through progressively deeper stages of understanding. As the understanding deepens and is enriched by an expanding awareness of daily experience, an individual progresses towards the ultimate goal, establishing oneself in the understanding of absolute being.

Francis's teachings center on one topic: awareness - our true nature - the Absolute.[4] He traces this to ancient teachings of nonduality, the common ground of Advaita Vedanta, Zen, Taoism and Sufism, the same common ground which is at the core of the message left behind by the founders of all great religions.

Stanley Sobottka, Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of Virginia, considers him to be an excellent teacher, citing the clarity of his answers to questions.[5]


Below is an excerpt of talk given by Francis at a conference hosted by Inner directions (non profit Organization),in 2003.[6]
