Seeing with Paul Hedderman - Non Dual Couch Series
"Probably none of you are here for 'nothing,' but if you could come away with that, that would be something."
~ Paul Hedderman
Beautifully illuminated by the teachings of zen and delivered with great humor and vigor, Paul offers a most unique style that goes deep into the dilemma of human existence. he exposes the futility of finding happiness and contenetment by way of self-centered modality.
Practical and profound, Paul Hedderman's philosophy blends his experience in recovery with the wisdom of Advaita and Non-duality. He calls on us to consider our deeply held notions about self and awareness under a fresh light, and points to a simpler and lighter way of being in the world. A man of no pretense, Paul's unique language and solid presence bespeak the depth of his understanding of the human condition-in which the original addiction is the mind's addiction to being a "self."

All humans should watch this, very scientific way to explain the underpinnings of meditation.
Do you have theta waves or something in the background to help us remember this?
this is freaking GOLD!!!!!!
I can’t wait until neurofeedback is normal for everyone to get. So hard to find any info on my scans 😅
It is a shame that he was talking to a room of what I guess to be other researchers in the field who followed the jargon more closely. As a simple zoologist I only followed a portion of what he said (on my first viewing). It is interesting to see a worker in this field with this type of realization or self awareness. I wonder to what extent the ability to achieve this is hard wired into practitioners.
You can't get this anywhere else -- and without this it's all a waste of time.
Really interesting stuff. I love how science is revealing what's happening in the brain in relation to different states of consciousness. This is the merging of science with mysticism.
The default Netwerk just goes along with the ego, so you can really connect these concepts across disciplines
Fascinating topic. Thanks a lot for sharing this! Anyone has experience with consumer-type EEG devices like the Muse for meditation? Seems promising on paper and after reading reviews. Feedback welcome.
Love all the comments from the "superior ones" who are already "egoless".... :)
This is one of your best talks I think I’ve ever heard Paul, but anytime I hear one of your talks that I haven’t heard, I often times think that. I don’t want to be nothing and no thing. That’s the dilemma tho right?
Our emotional pain is the best psychedelic. I wonder how could we get out of our bodies without dying. I have physical pain on different parts of my body, it makes me need to leave my body but I don’t want to die.
Pain and suffering are two different things.
My thoughts seem to be a response to stimuli of various sorts, conscious and unconscious. Often existential, often internal.
I think a lot about the colors of things, the way photons split and bounce around to make colors...I suppose perceived by me eventually. I notice birds, insects, other things in the present moment much of the time.
Mind-blowing. Should say brain-blowing. Gary is amazing. He's like Science Ramana.
Ha ha. I love that. Science RAmana
24:00
where and what is a brain? lol unlearn all you ever been told... start again!
I can 100% remember my thoughts and feelings and what I did at 9:11!!!
Cosmonaut 34:02 just has to be @MichaelTaft108
Watch out for cute cat videos they target the network
I've had dreams where something in the dream genuinely surprised me, like it was completely unpredictable. How can my own thought surprise me if I'm coming up with it?
You don't come up with your thoughts
How many 🍆 is this guy choking on while trying to talk
We don’t think our thoughts, our thoughts think us!
Funny guy
maybe it just me.... but it seems like i can hear the intro sound, just barely audibly through out the video.
Frequencies playing
Yes ! When he gave instruction to close eyes and observe your thoughts, I had a flash of tintin and the incas, where this sound is played. I hadn't realized but reading your comment, it probably came from the video... The intro sound gives me strong shivers btw
I did Ayahuasca 2 years ago nearly now I went from Belfast to Preu it was a scary experience but amazing I also did dmt and I felt like I was in heaven ❤ looking for my dad who committed suicide
Did you find him? My dad commited suicide too
This a great intro for rational minded folk into meditation. Saving this one
8:15 memories are non local, they're across the brain in a number of places depending on content
And in the body; "The body keeps the score."
I love how the brain doesn't lie .... I think it may be just about the only thing lol... but what about Psychedelics and sex lol... Sounds like a real trip 😂😂😂😂
Thanks again and again and again Paul. Thank you!
Thanks Paul!
BRILlIENT ….❤️
I have constant high pitched ringing in my ears. It never comes or goes. Honestly it's just my attention noticing it that comes and goes..
Same. I’ve had tinnitus for several year’s following a massive seizure that perforated the ear drum. In moments it’s been quite irritating. I’m sorry your action figure has that. It “can be” if I allow it to be seriously annoying. At least you seem to know it’s not happening “to” anyone and rather that it’s just occurring and you are what notices it and or forgets it’s there. I’ve seen you on other non-dual talks and channels. I believe we’ve conversed here before too. Anyway, see you around brother
@@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496 That's nice that you recognize me. 😎
The problem was solved in me but hey, let me take the credit :)
Please do not inject yourself with mushroom tea. The mycelium grow in blood. This is not the same as purified psilocybin.
the tone on the background is awful, could not listen
Gary needs long beard and hair and a wizard hat. Just saying...🥰
If he had the production values of Sadhguru 🙄
Well, that’s IT. Truth.
One of the clearest presentations I have ever seen from Paul. Very pleased to find this.
I like the talk and all...but what exactly do I do?
Paul used the tinnitus sound example. Same here. So, sit in a quiet space, listen internally to the ringing in your ears. It'll be 'inside your head'. It'll be a ringing arising (or happening) in a space inside, like a field of hearing. Now, inside, what's noticing that? ? ?. Just experientially 'feel into' the field of what's doing the hearing.... There ya go. That's it. That's You. That's the You that hears but can't be heard, that experiences but can't be experienced.
Sit quietly and don't intentionally move your mind. Then look for what is looking.
I thought that thoughts will always be there, just that one can break identification with them. Apparently, according to Gary, and many others I now realize, they can disappear.. Interesting.
Have you done it yourself though?
I think before we connect the brain to the internet (neuro link) we first have to stop the blah blah.
Am I supposed to be watching this on the couch?
If you're on the couch then yes.
What do I do ?????
SO WHAT DO WE DO ?
Nothing
Meditate
no need to do anything if you feel that you are not suffering. but if you feel the need to improve on your regretful reactions that you put forth to external/internal stimuli, sit still everyday for a few minutes and make all effort to not let this default mode network take over your mental functioning. make efforts to shut it down whenever it arises.......sit down and see if you can see this DMN operate and takeover instead of the real task oriented problem solving network function unhindered........... problem identified is half the problem solved........
The question is tge answer which you probably realize after 2 years.
great intro
I wish people would be more detailed and specific about what they mean by “blah blah” and in the now. Or what “thoughts” are or inner dialogue? People act like everyone knows what it means but to be honest I have no idea what they are talking about. When I take LSD, AYAHUASCA, Psilocybin etc. I have an expansion of consciousness into spacetime and feel more normal. My sense of meaning similarly expands to include things with less survival relevance, but I have never hallucinated. I took MDMA and it was the pure crystal stuff people were raving about (literally, lol) and it just felt like a more intense version of how I NORMALLY FEEL. that feeling to me is more important to enlightenment than the LSD alone. When I do LSD the main effect is that my here and now ideas about the present are what fall away and I become timeless. Like I perceive back to the beginning of time. Once with Ayahuasca causality reverses and I saw the causes in the future and it was logically linked to past occurrences. This still happens if I pay attention and am calm. The way I see it is in synchronicities on a large scale. That’s the only way to describe it. However, I have never had an experience of the normal narrative of blah blah near as I can tell. However I did have an event that happened when I was just over 1 year old-when the self is forming. I almost died from lack of oxygen. My parents had the new neighbors escort them to the hospital emergency room. However I experienced it as an NDE ! I was floating 30 feet or more above the cars and watched them turn into the hospital. So I always felt like an alien, and I literally could not stand to be around normal people because of how they acted. It was like they were insane just acting in the way normal kids act I now know. But the more I learn about nonduality, the more I realize that I think I was at the 10,000 hour yogi level when I was 4 years old. Not even joking. I made up a mantra to clear my mind not of an inner narrative but to try to stop the unity of myself with others which scared me and stressed me out so much because I thought if anyone realized what I was like and what I was doing they might hate or even kill me. This was when I was 4 years old. My mantra was “that there:there that” and what I did by saying that was go underground. I had a fantasy underground world I lived in too. Anyway I used to think that I was an alien left on Earth by accident. I saw a different world than most people. I didn’t see a division between myself and others and what was painful was seeing and feeling all the pain and darkness around me. I used to have blinding migraines where I would throw up when I was a little kid. My brothers didn’t see. I was totally alone, but I brought home dogs and animals until my mom kept making me get rid of them. One day I caught a bunch of snakes and brought them home all proud and to me they were so cute and wonderful but my mom lost her mind and screamed like she was dying and chased me out of the house. I loved all the animals and she screamed again when I brought home a field mouse, but it was so cute I couldn’t believe she did that. Then I brought home eggs left behind in a field they mowed by the house and that she let me keep. I hatched them and they were mallard ducks! We raised them and taught them to fly. Anyway, I have always had an affinity for animals too and they do unusual things around me. So if anyone has any info or ideas about NDE or OBE effects on this stuff please let me know. I have never thought in words, and it just sounds strange. How can you even think using words?? I go over what I am going to say because I am so different and I used to think this is what people meant by the inner dialogue but when people give examples I am just bewildered because I have never done that. As an undergrad I once told my professor that I didn’t have an ego because I didn’t have a personal self/important combativeness I always found painful in others... before I knew about any of this stuff. Seriously I am a mutant. Not even kidding. Any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Blah blah are insults, condemnations, claims. You are definitely too much in your head, probably not doing much. Try to do more activities, stop live in your past (see some esoteric practices for that), and learn how to enjoy whatever you doing. Best of all
Wild. Let's merge minds! Hope you are well
@@davidsaintjohn4248 I knew you were going to post that comment.
@@spiralsun1 any predictions for this year then? 🤹
@@davidsaintjohn4248 yes. This is the year I come out. I am posting a video about my papers from 20 years ago so that you can see what I predicted. Obviously the direction I speak of back then, the process, and all the researchers working on my stuff now, is ongoing. Prediction 1) we will discover that we are inside of or a projection through a black hole computational process. Is that enough? There’s more... 2) Everything is symbolic and can be read like a book. Been trying to tell people that for 25 years... but it’s finally going to catch on. 3) Symbols are natural law-based structures in an information universe. Again, in all my papers and books from 20 years ago. 4) Humans are an integral part of the universe. And we are not at all separate. 5) The universe is very obviously a teaching machine which is structured beyond the one-way causality we tend to live our immediate lives in. -we are going to discover all these things this year. Because I am going to show you. Starting with my video I am posting this evening of a paper I wrote on the experimental methodology I invented to gather real data on these predictions. I used to teach experimental methodology at Emory university, so I made a hybrid method which you could statistically analyze. This is going to change how you think about the world forever, just so you can be ready. If you don’t want that, don’t listen. Thanks for your comments ❤️🥰
I disagree with the “I” constantly changing. My personality and expression changes. Such as if I am talking to a child versus work. But my I is solid. I always have the same sense of self. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are saying? Thanks
psychological self is a illusion .
I think his definition of sense of self was a bit vague and confusing; I think what he means is you are less constantly worried about yourself and more focused on the experiences around you by shifting perspectives.. or something like that
Look at your own sentence: "I always have the same sense of self". *I" and the "self" are not the same.
I love this bassicly explaining the benefits of practicing Buddhist philosophy and meditating in a scientific way
