Contrary Wisdom - FREE
A Free Skool Community for Anyone Seeking
Awakening & Self-Realization
It is not by chance that you have found this space.
This is not a community for accumulating more knowledge, skill or mastery — It's a container for deconstruction.
In the "Classroom" section, you will find the two foundational texts and movie for our free community:
- "Light of Be-ing": This is the "map" that lays out the territory. It details "The 3 Keys" that unlock reality and "The 8 Gates" that form the walls of our perceived prison.
- There is also the highly praised "Light of Be-ing" movie, a 1 of a kind spiritual experience to awakening.
- "You Are Source": This is the "proof." It is a collection of documented, real-world stories of awakening that demonstrate the principles in action. Ordinary people having extra-ordinary experiences.
The information is here for you. But this is not a library; it is a living dialogue.
To begin your journey, go to the main community feed and introduce yourself by answering a single question:
"What is the single most important question you are living with right now?"
This is not for my benefit, but for yours. It is the starting point of your own unveiling.
Please read "The Field: Our Code of Presence": The pinned post with our community guidelines.
It explains the simple agreements we all hold to keep this a sacred and powerful space for everyone.
Welcome to Contrary Wisdom. Your awakening is at hand.
Blessings,
Mark Naea, Øm 'not-mark'
“You are the Infinite, Source, have always been Source,
will always be Source. It couldn’t be any simpler than that.”
“It is so simple that the mind really has no way to grasp it.”
“Like a leaf falling from a tree,
the tree does not let go of the leaf,
nor does the leaf let go of the tree,
and yet it happens.”

Real World Testimonials
Bill, not-bill
IT Engineer
"He’s an echo chamber reflecting back each person’s inner knowingness... then space and time start to ripple."
"I’ve known 'not-Mark' for several years now and have had the privilege of being present as an observer... Mark poses a self-reflecting question, like 'Who’s asking?'... At that point space and time start to ripple, things slow down, and everything gets real quiet. You can actually sense an inner, hidden awareness turning itself inside out... A shock wave emanates through the Universe, and it is done."
Alison Ebata
Acupuncturist -Spiritual Healer
"Something Profound Had Happened... I Still Do NOT Feel Any Stress."
"I remember the moment exactly when I dropped. It was in the fall of 2007... As soon as the thought, 'Everything should be like this-Effortless,' appeared, I had a feeling of complete peace and calm come over me, like never before. I had a feeling that something profound had happened... I still do NOT feel any stress. Also, my cat at the time changed and became much more mellow! Mahalo, not Mark!"
The Threshold
"Teachers only open the door. You must choose to enter yourself."
Chinese Proverb
You didn’t arrive here by accident.
This is the edge — where old stories dissolve and something ancient in you starts to stir.
This space is called The Threshold because you are standing at the doorway of the impossible.
“You are not here to be improved. You are here to be revealed.”
You’ve entered a space unlike anything else — not because of what we do, but because of how we Be.
This is a sanctuary for those in powerful transition — seekers, visionaries, and quiet rebels who are done waiting, done performing, and ready to awaken.
Here, we don’t chase transformation.
We remember truth. And we live from it.
