Richard has been giving talks on non-duality since 2005 and has written four books about it, including the much-loved little classic ‘I Hope You Die Soon’. His fifth book, ‘Confessions of a Seeker’ is about his many years as a spiritual seeker but it also includes chapters on free will, consciousness and religion. It is sometimes extremely funny (one reader laughed so much she had to stop reading it in public places) and sometimes profoundly serious.

    Thank you 'Richard'. Here's 'my spin' on what's going on.. I call this fractal (and never 'fractured') boundary condition; 'negentropy' - defining; Life (why a seed germinates at all i.e. charge-implosion) metabolism, immunity, perception, effect of gravity, all orbital mechanics, and what it is to be electrically centripetal (subjectively balanced or grounded) and a source of your own charge and its distribution (i.e. 'charge-radiance' e.g. the unfurling/unpacking of the sweet scented rose flower) as opposed to being an 'electrical parasite' (having to steal charge from 'others') - but most are unaware of their common dependency on this pure principle - the 'spring loaded' vitality of that reviled sense of 'contraction' or compression (of charge) which electrically is also referred to as ; 'non-destructive implosive charge-compression' i.e. 'constructive interference' - an absolutely mandatory and inescapable boundary condition (of Life/sentience) which isn't actually 'divided'. And if this basic principle of Life (i.e. 'non-destructive implosive charge-compression') is not understood why would anyone respect it, they wouldn't, and thus most don't. This is the bio-electrical science of 'meditation' or 'prayer' - not only why it works/functions but how its absolutely essential for Life, AS the living principle itself. The question; ''what am I?'' actually demonstrates charge-compression/negentropy while awake - healing the body (avatar) optimising metabolism, and cleansing perception - perhaps you've already noticed how sustaining a sense-felt point of focus that is non-verbal (i.e. 'self-enquiry meditation') literally and audibly fizzes, pops, and cracks 'the body' into its primordial state of super-coherence? Otherwise, this essential 'charge-compression' - the fortification of 'the body', is almost exclusively accessed in 'deep-dreamless sleep' which is why deep-sleep is so rejuvenating (i.e. the primordial state of 'non-destructive implosive charge-compression' - despite there being no 'objective' world, no 'objective' body and no linear-time (as the shareable-wave function) There's simply no need to dress up this universal principle in 'mystique', in the sense that it is no more mysterious than the switching on of a kettle or understanding how to your pants on in the morning - 'everything' is governed by this universal and indivisible principle. 'Life' (i.e. observable 'metabolism' and 'consciousness' (perception) is what imaginary 'disassociation' from Universal Mind (NON-collapsing wave-function') looks like. There is nothing exclusively 'humanistic' about the delusion of 'separation' - even a beautiful rose flower sporting ''fuck off!'' thorns is falling for 'it', obviously.

For those whose lives are a meaningless, depressing dissaster, this message, that we dont have a life, that there is no world, no free-will and no person, is a great relief!!🙂👍✌💯

  • @joeblakeukeman

    The ‘mind’ finds it interesting to hear that there is no person. And then it wonders how it can go on, being nothing. A seeing had happened, revealing the total absence of a separate self. The mind, or person, assumed this ‘seeing’ was its own. This left it like a weird amputee, the phantom limb, in this case, being itself. 😮

    Listening to this is like listening to beautiful music: it doesn’t make sense when you try to analyze it, yet it is so enjoyable to sit back and listen. Best moment: 7:07, the speaker says “non-duality is the seeing that there is no self.” Incidentally, he had already said this at 1:30, “It is the noticing that there is no-self.” I love hearing this message because it just a continuous series of riffs off of the same motif. 😂 Thank you for sharing!

    ‘I’ am hearing this message from many sources: that movement and stillness are in no way different, and the experience of this does occur. And that this is a dream. In a ‘moment’ this is apparently seen; in a ‘moment’ the belief in a ‘person’ reappears. The apparent mind seems to cling on to the appearance, turning it - whatever - into a story ‘again’. This has been helpful, Richard.

    Hello. When people talk about the nature of consciousness, i wonder - does it really matter? Perhaps it would be more fruitful to become the being inside everyone, aka the Soul. It is a separate consciousness, not human. So teach how to become one with the Father. How to become that I Am.

    • @gloriahallelujah1118

      It cannot be taught because you already are Spirit. It can be remembered though . I practice constantly being the watcher of the character person I think I am. I realize that all thoughts are lies . I recognize I am not the thinker of those thoughts , the ego is and I find it is universally one as I am. It a game we played and now the dream is ending . And the beginning is starting once more. Hope you don’t mind my comment . Words are symbols twice removed from reality and so I feel like talking is not communication , but presence is , full presence now , no past and no future In the present now. I crave that space now but find myself taking the bait over and over again. This talk is literally setting me free today . Many blessings to all one of us ❤
