It is the non duality story that asserts that ALL is already complete just as it already is with no distance to travel at all for total unavoidable connection to the sublime no matter what your current state may be.

The latter is usually for those who have suspected all along that the answer is that things are already perfect just as they already are, or who have become disilussioned with progress on this or that path.


Most will give instructions for a method, which is fine in itself, but many methods are geared to 'do this in order to get that', which is definitively volitional, and it is fine to do one thing to bring on some sort of spiritual exerience, but it directly contradicts the cessation of volition... which is the difference between 'as it is' and 'the way you want it to be'.
