Grounded in I Am That
Nondual Atlas is an interpretive visual map inspired by Nisargadatta Maharaj's I Am That: from suffering and the person, through witnessing and the sense "I Am", to what is prior to consciousness.
Primary Source
The primary source is Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj's I Am That, a collection of dialogues translated by Maurice Frydman. The atlas paraphrases the teaching for contemplative navigation and uses only short source pointers and brief citations.

This site is not an official representation of Nisargadatta Maharaj's teaching, not a lineage authority, and not a replacement for the dialogues. It is a beginner-friendly map of recurring pointers: suffering as identification, the person as memory and habit, the witness as discrimination, I Am as the doorway, and the Absolute as not an object.
How to Use the Atlas
Begin where experience is alive now. Click a layer, read one node slowly, and let the inquiry question turn attention toward what is seen. Ask who claims it, rest with the bare I Am before the claim, and do not turn even that into a possession. The map is useful only when it returns you to direct seeing.
