The Heart of This Publication
Not That, Just This points to the shift from chasing to seeing. “Not that” is identification with the body, the emotions, and the stories, roles, labels and achievements the mind clings to for identity. “Just this” is the truth of what you are - the immediate reality of aware presence underneath and beyond it all.
Each piece is an invitation to notice what isn’t real, let it fall away, and discover that what you were looking for has been here the whole time.

About The Author
Ryan Mathie has spent more than a decade and a half devoted to seeing what we are beyond the mind and its patterns, identities and narratives. During that time he has supported thousands of people across the world.
His approach reflects the radical truth revealed through his own lived experience rather than inherited teachings, blind faith or spiritual performance, expressed in a clear, contemporary way that feels human and real.
His work is original, precise and direct, inviting people back to the depth of their own being - where peace and happiness are seen as innate, not conditional on what happens, what we achieve, or how others respond.

“Suffering only happens when you mistake an idea of ‘me’ for what you are, and when you confuse the mind’s overlay on what’s happening for reality itself. When identification and distortion is recognised for what it is, there”s lightness, peace - presence. It’s actually already here, sitting underneath it all, because nothing was ever missing in the first place.” - RM
