Jeff Foster (spiritual teacher)
Jeff Foster (born 1980) is a spiritual teacher from England.
==Biography==
Jeff Foster was born in 1980 in London, England.〔(Han van den Boogaard, ''Alles is al volledig ontwaakt. Interview met Jeff Foster.'' )〕 He studied Astrophysics at Cambridge University,〔 yet was plagued by feelings of despair and loneliness,〔(Boeddhistische Omroep Stichting, ''Interview met Jeff Foster'', 6 December 2009 )〕 which eventually led to physical illness and a personal breakdown soon after graduation. He was convinced he was going to die.〔 He returned to live with his parents, reading and studying for a year on spirituality, searching for relief from his depression.〔 This ended in 2006 with the dissolution of the sense of separation, which he understood to be a spiritual awakening:
He wrote a book, ''Life Without a Centre'' (Non-Duality Press), and was invited to hold small gatherings.〔 Eventually, several more books were written, and the gatherings were supplemented with retreats and one-to-one sessions.〔
In 2011 Jeff Foster wrote an article explaining why he no longer considered himself to be an "Advaita teacher" or "nonduality teacher," pointing out problems with the one-sidedness of contemporary "radical Advaita" teachings.〔(Jeff Foster, ''The birth and death of fundamentalism in nonduality and Advaita teachings.'' )〕 Instead of a strict impersonal philosophy, he started to embrace and emphasise the relative, human, personal existence in his writings and gatherings, a relativity which he felt was not in conflict with the impersonal Absolute.〔
