Michaël Szyper is an author, speaker and spiritual teacher.
Michaël started sharing in 2000 the possibility to realize true nature and to live this profound liberation in daily life.
He is also a lawyer and therapist, and spent about a decade working in the business world.
Following a spontaneous awakening into emptiness at five years old that changed the course of his life, he devoted himself early on to inner exploration and undertook long journeys to India, where he sat with awakened beings. In his late twenties, an Indian saint invited him to begin sharing the non-dual nature of existence.
His first book Non-Dual Petals is an ode to the direct realization of Consciousness and is composed of a corolla of pointers that direct the gaze toward True Nature. His second book Les étoiles écoutent toujours quand on leur parle, only available in French and Spanish, took the form of a poetic tale of self-discovery.
Infinite Consciousness, the fruit of some twenty years of writing, delves deeply into the many facets of enlightenment. It reviews the place and role of both direct and gradual paths, the main practices arising from them, as well as the impact of realization on the mind and body, the heart, the soul, and the me. The book emphasizes the necessity of ongoing integration of realization into our humanity, and sheds light on the various depths of the true nature of Consciousness.
Together with his partner, Della, he co-founded the School of Reality in 2016. The school offers an original and inclusive approach to spiritual awakening—bridging it with psychotherapy and emphasizing the importance of embodying, within relationships, the intrinsic qualities of our True Nature such as kindness, openness, and empathy. Their co-authored book, What if I Were Life?, a practical guide to spiritual awakening, offers a fresh and liberating perspective on protective mechanisms, fears, and identity wounds rooted in the perception of separation.
His latest book, Light Love, recounts his fusion into unconditional love and infinite light of God, at the very source of the cosmos, during a near death experience. This work especially explores the ultimate dimension of our True Nature, and why it is often overlooked in non-dual teachings in favor of the realization of Presence or its unmanifested aspect.
