When I was injured and in extreme physical pain, I went within on a different level. To learn to live in total bodily discomfort, to learn to simply BE. It took great dismantling of self in order to find Self. It was frightening but my choice was taken away. I had only that path available in order to learn to live again, in a completely different way, to find meaning in mere existence..there is no mere about it. Deconstructing the need to DO and to find my Self.
To seek and want is the ego, it took me a long time to realise that chasing answers about the meaning of life and existence is futile and will never be truely answered or fulfilled. It is a maze to keep you distracted from your real work of knowing the true self and also the shadow. The ultimate contradiction to this is that you think the ego is your enemy and trying to stop your progress but it’s also the drive what pushes you forward to find the true self… Without drive, you would never grow, by needing to grow and seek, you’ll never be at peace with what already is… The great paradox. Taoism is a great resource for this also ❤️🙏
Seeing the ego as opponent or dysfunctional is judgment. Judgment is work of the ego, so ego is judging itself. Just seeing ego as it is, is enough. Just a part of our being. Not good not bad, it is what it is.
Why would chasing answers about meaning of life and existence is futile ? . Is it becoz one is not able to come to terms to quest ? Coz it's hard but it's certainly not futile. Besides as much as dismissal may sound ok. Not having a coherent worldview leads to Nihilism. Saying these are futile questions will demand justifications. The nature of our reality and its cause is simply not worth of dismissal . People's subjective realisations dnt govern Morality . Some people can reach a certain darker realisation like Aghoris who are cannibalistic and the morality born out of it will result in destructive consequences. I wish it was easier to say that . But ignoring the fundamental questions will lead to disastrous outcome. This sounds like people dnt want to confront their anxiety . The reason I am not anxious anymore is becoz i tackled it .
I wish people could know the consequences of their words . As an ex moral nihilist . If their are no answers to this question then Nihilism is just as valid than any philosophy out their.
@@MODEST500 It is futile in the sense that you can never know the unknowable. You can form conclusions, educated guesses etc but none of it will ever be known for sure except in your head... I have been playing this game for almost 2 years trying to find meaning to my existence and all it has lead to is existential rabbit holes of my thoughts taking over and despair. The ultimate realisation to be had from this game is that it is a distraction of the Ego to justify it's existence and to know "more" like every other game, what you have isn't enough, you always need more. By needing more, you will never be enough... Yes we have a lot of work to do and a big journey to undertake but it is not to be found in the games of the Ego trying to distract you but found in becoming whole by integrating your shadow and bringing it into the light of conciseness / awareness. Pondering this stuff and identifying with your thoughts can only pull you out of the only truth which is the present moment of experience.
Your films are mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing your gift. Two weeks ago, I was driving my son to wrestling practice and was first in line at a stop light. In a flash I became really aware I was staring at the red stop light and it had a magnetic pull. Simultaneously, I became aware of the energetic pressure of my foot on the brake pedal and the rather loud rushing of the cars passing by on the right. Instantly those apparent perceived “things” collapsed or vanished into the exact same space and then further collapsed into just knowing. It was instant recognition out of the blue and completely unsought that things are not things and whatever “they” are… they were me… whatever that is. It’s evenness and equitable and calm itself. Words can’t capture it. This new way of seeing has stayed and my mind activity has diminished by about 70% over the past two weeks. There is a subtle bubbling of uncaused joy and an even deeper sense of vibrant peace as a background to washing dishes, driving, listening to music, shopping etc… It’s always there now. I definitely don’t feel I know who or what I am now either and I don’t mind. I have responsibilities so I do them, but I no longer identify myself as I used to… and I’ve literally never felt more “myself”. I sense Gods grace is somehow working through people like you to shake humanity out of its slumber. Thank you for all of your beautiful work. Love and kindness.🦋💕
It is the nature of the mind to like certain objects and dislike others. This is bondage, nothing else. In reality, there are no separate objects. . . Whomever makes these videos is making a tremendous impact on the world in an extremely positive way. Om namah shivaya. Keep up the amazing work 💪
@@truenature8409 .... yes and no. Say yes to that which you, "dislike" and say no to that which you like. By neutralizing likes and dislikes, you can enjoy yourself, your true nature 😉
@@truenature8409 When you write, _"neutralise your affinities beforehand,"_ I'm not sure what you mean to convey. To my present understanding, the neutralization of affinities is a process, which has analogously been described in this video as the inertia that continues once the fan has been unplugged. Do you mean to suggest that one should 'stop the fan' before unplugging it? I'll appreciate any clarification you may care to share. Thank you.
@@truenature8409 Thanks for your reply. However, i'm still unclear about the _"beforehand"_ part that I mentioned in my earlier reply to you. While one is in the process that you described, what is the 'beforehand' separating? Put another way, what is it that one is putting off until later, so that one can _"neutralize their affinities"_ *beforehand* -- before what, specifically? Thank you.
Irony, can u see? "No separate objects". videos, tremendous impact, positive way. Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, whereas culture has invented a single mold to which all must conform. It is grotesque.
This ancient wisdom always feels like magic in this modern age. Impossible to describe to the uninitiated. Humanity cries out for discipline. Knowing this makes me quietly explode with joy and the deepest love for this universe. It means everything and nothing. We all pass away. I pray that more people come to realize how special their place in the universe ultimately is. This is meaning. Gaze at the stars, breathe deeply and be at ultimate peace with clarity and stillness.
"without the filtering of the limited mind is to be present without choosing." Thank you for this presentation. The following excerpt is from the writings of Marshall Vian Summers on freedom and stillness or presence: "Freedom abides within you, waiting to be born... You who have lived under the weight of your own imagination, you who have been a prisoner to your own thoughts and to the thoughts of others, you who have been intimidated and threatened by the appearance of this world now have hope, for true freedom abides within you... As you come closer to freedom... you will be able to recognize more clearly what holds you back.. it is but your adherence to your own thoughts... your interest in your own imagination that holds you back.... Attempt to allow your mind to be still, which is the beginning of its freedom. This practice in stillness will enable your mind to shake loose the chains that bind it--its unforgiveness from the past, its anxiety over the future and its avoidance of the present. In stillness your mind rises above all that keeps it small, hidden and isolated within its own darkness... In your practice periods, be present and be still. Allow yourself to bathe in the luxury of emptiness. For the presence of God is first experienced as emptiness because it lacks movement, and then within this emptiness, you begin to feel the presence that permeates all things and gives all meaning to life." (MVS, Steps to Knowledge)
. Look here, there is no present to the structure of the 'you'; all that is there is the past, which is trying to project itself into the future. You can think about past, present, and future, but there is no future, there is no present; there is only the past. Your future is only a projection of the past. If there is a present, that present can never be experienced by you, because you experience only your knowledge about the present, and that knowledge is the past.
@beinghuman3225 How does one move from day to day life with this knowledge, conceptual or experiential? How do you even go about surviving when faced with this reality? These might be the wrong questions, as they come from the egoic mind, but if everything is the past, how does one even operate on the level of form?
There are two primary knots that bind us to this illusory (ego) identity. #1) The body is attached to comfort. #2) The mind always (wants) to know. If we continue to seek comfort in the body and knowing in the mind then one shall be limited by the limits of mind and the illusory body.
The body is the sub-conscious or unconscious mind on which we have little control over. The mind you refer is the conscious awareness which is just 5% . The unconscious intelligence is what beats the heart, breathe, digest food and keeps the body alive. But, we tend to narrow only to mind which we can access that 5%. Sad truth is how many of us are even using that 5% ... Literally 99.99% people are still narrowed down to believing and acting to the one which they see, hear and feel. But, life is beyond that and that intelligence is what driving the whole show in this cosmos.. And we fail to trust that because we don't have direct access to it. 🙏 But, we can drop our knowing and melt in that unknowing/intelligence , so that every single thing we see, hear, sense would be spectacular, wonders and dreams around for which we would only have gratitude and appreciation 🙏
Key to awakening to stop thinking and open your heart to love and kindness accept everything the way it is don't fight it or force it every soul have their own journey don't interrupt their journey. Just let your heart (soul) attract what's meant for you🙏🕯💗

“Karma is simply the tendency for energy to follow established pathways.” ❤ I just said “wooooOOOOOOOOooooow” out loud when I heard that. I felt this but have never been able to articulate it or heard it out so precisely. Incredible. I will never forget that sentence.
I always think about it like an elastic band snapping back into its relaxed form. Energy following established pathways certainly makes perfect sense and is a far more refined picture than my elastic band
I offer to you, my sincerest gratitude, for being my personal link to the divine oneness that is. I have followed you through all channels or pathways you have given to us freely. Inner, and outer worlds, samahdi, the gate of gates, I must thank you for my early death. I can not describe, nor do I have any desire to, the liberation and freedom given when the mind dies, and the ego and the self decay. Sure, many trials and tests arise, but the deeper inward you travel, the less any outward conflict has any existence at all. I am becoming pure consciousness alone, an observer like a tree, if indeed a tree is the name for them. Blessings, peace, and prosperity be with you always.

Core Self = Being aware of being aware. Freedom is a Way of Being. Being aware of being aware is unmodulated by the 5 senses, thus unfettered, which is the resonant inner state frequency closest in alignment with the frequency of the all-inclusive Absolute, where all things are possible (Wisdom and Understanding). Be still and silent and know That which is/That I am in contrast to what and who I am, and as that from which they arise and that to which they return. Gnosis = awareness of the presence of the Eternal within the temporal. It is identification with the temporal that blocks awareness of the presence of the Eternal within the temporal. Empty of the temporal is by definition full of the Eternal. The Rhythm of Life is a movement and a rest. The optimum (Heaven), is always found somewhere between the extremes of too much and too little (hell). We are so habituated to making it happen outwardly, that letting it happen inwardly can seem impossible at first, even though letting go is as simple as free-fall - wu wei - effortless effort - a not doing rather than a doing. Whatever the living fire of conscious attention dwells on today, we dwell in tomorrow. Ultimately, our most significant choice at any moment of the day is between unconscious compulsive reaction and conscious creative response.

The understanding of this is vital to existence yet we are in a place that is tailored to keep one from understanding all things. One can't look without being fed the manure that grows egos. One can't get away from others egos that want one to spin in their personal circle. The true spin is unmeasurable. Wishing nothing but good for you all.

The paradox of how the mind can stop itself only exists for an impersonalistic understanding of God (the problem is that the traditional understanding of "person" has been lost). God's creative self-disclosure is divinizing. You need only sink into the desire for God, and the mind thereby meets its natural satisfaction and end in God. The mind naturally collects itself around this end and comes to a rest in true worship. This is the active phase of contemplation. Once the mind consents to receive God in collected worship, there is a supernatural infusion in which the person is elevated beyond themself into transformative union. Yes, God is the unchanging dimension of existence, but God's unchanging nature is creative self-disclosure- pure gratuity. The difficulty is just that our society is currently prejudiced against the 'God' word. The ego refuses to believe in someone infinitely greater than itself exists (so it reduces God to some impersonal field of awareness), plus the abuses of the Church have made some allergic to anything Christian. But deep down, we have an innate knowledge of our Creator, and there is a sacramental connection between the word God and the Reality. A reciprocal gratuitous Love bypasses years of meditative effort through free grace.
But what is a person? And what is traditionalistic meaning of person? If God is a person (Christianity teaches us he is 3 persons) his personality must be different from ours which is illusory and based on our desires, likes and dislikes. Holy trinity is a dogma barely noone understands.
@@mietekjaroszek7899 The modern psychoanalytic understanding (beginning with Freud and Jung) of "personality" obscured the more classical theological understanding of person. More traditionally, our created persons are understood as incomplete participations in the fully personal relations of Trinity. A person is the capacity for and subsistence in relation. Your true knowledge and love for your mother, and how you take up and relate to all things, is the true nature of your individual reality (that ever grows in the divine life as deification). Thus, all persons are a part of each other in the body of Christ. The persons of the trinity perfectly relate to each other in perfect love-communion, whereas we are incompletely personal in our selfishness and finitude. There are boundaries between the union and intimacy of created persons, whether in the modality of sensation, feeling, knowing, thinking, etc. Each Hypostasis of the Trinity is distinguished by their modality. Each is perfect God, and so relates to each other fully. God's complete reality means each of God's modalities is likewise complete and comes to an irreducible threeness. An analogy would be Satchidananda (this would be Trinity-for-us, as each created person can only grow in their share in the divine Life).
@@maheshshastri5245 These aren't just words though- I'm describing a real process of deification. As our hearts reach out to God, our wills touch His. Our hearts at last find satisfaction in this embrace. This satisfaction passifies all the energies of the self into a collected stillness. Then, once our wills are completely receptive to God's will, there is an infusion of the Holy Spirit, and we come to know God intimately with our whole being and are taken beyond our being into the Divine Life (epectasis). Our finite souls cannot know God by their own effort- this infusion is pure gift.
One can never be conscious of consciousness, To be conscious of consciousness, there must be two conscious entities, but consciousness is only one. A knife cannot cut itself, the seer cannot see itself.. consciousness cannot be conscious of itself.A good article on the whole.
One day after years of seeking, the comedy of the individual attempting to become the witness became vividly clear. The irony of being at enmity with oneself in an effort to become one with everything was potently apparent. And the truth of what letting go truly looks like became utterly peaceful and surprisingly unremarkable. True freedom was at the door.
Wow. This is the most profound video I've ever watched in my life. All that can be said here is thank you from the bottom of my ❤️. You achieved what you set out to do with this unit of awareness here! Namaste❤.
Its an extreme awe experience when you're able to arrive to the inside where you can feel like every sensory input is like water and you can walk on that water. And then you fall back :) I wish everyone to come back "above" as often as possible.
Wow, is the only word to convey my emotions right now, I will need to listen multiple time to this in order to grasp its full content, thank you for your insight, hearing this makes it obvious to me that you have experienced this, in order to describe it the way you do and have it resonate with me... Gratitude! 🙏🙏🙏
This is excellent knowledge to utilize in my meditation practices. 🙏Thank you for sharing. This Channel has given me great insight over the past 6 years.
Daniel’s voice alone is, in itself a meditation. To me a very resistant being to stillness this presentation is the truest path before me ,now just to be willing to take the 1st step
The whole video is brilliant, much appreciated and needed. I particularly relate to your description of how, after finding stillness we discover mind to be part of stillness.
Samadhi is a term used in various Indian spiritual traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It refers to a state of meditative consciousness where the mind becomes completely absorbed in the object of meditation or the experience of deep concentration. There are different types and stages of Samadhi, depending on the tradition and the specific meditation practice employed. In Hinduism, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali describe different types of Samadhi: 1. **Savikalpa Samadhi**: This is a preliminary stage of Samadhi where the mind still holds onto thoughts and mental constructs, but the meditator is deeply absorbed in the object of meditation. In this state, the mind is still and focused, but thoughts may still arise occasionally. 2. **Nirvikalpa Samadhi**: This is a higher state of Samadhi where the mind becomes completely free from thoughts and mental constructs. In this state, there is no distinction between the meditator, the object of meditation, and the act of meditation. It is a state of complete and thoughtless awareness, also known as "established thoughtless awareness." In Buddhism, various types of Samadhi are described, depending on the tradition and the specific practice: 1. **Samatha Samadhi**: This type of Samadhi is achieved through the practice of Samatha (calm abiding) meditation, which aims to develop a single-pointed, focused, and stable mind. In this state, the mind is concentrated on an object of meditation without distraction. 2. **Vipassana Samadhi**: This type of Samadhi is achieved through the practice of Vipassana (insight) meditation, which aims to cultivate a deep understanding of the true nature of reality. In this state, the mind is focused on the impermanence, suffering, and non-self aspects of all phenomena. 3. **Jhana Samadhi**: In the Theravada tradition, Jhana refers to a series of eight progressive meditative states, each with increasing levels of concentration, bliss, and mental absorption. Jhanas are often considered as preliminary stages leading to deeper states of Samadhi. Regarding the state of established thoughtless awareness where there are no thoughts all day long, it is closest to the **Nirvikalpa Samadhi** in the Hindu tradition and may be seen as an advanced stage of meditation in the Buddhist tradition, where the meditator has cultivated a high level of concentration, mindfulness, and insight. It is important to note that reaching such a state of continuous thoughtless awareness throughout the day may not be practical or achievable for most individuals, as it requires a high level of spiritual development and sustained practice. However, regular meditation practice can help develop greater mindfulness and presence, leading to a gradual reduction in the frequency and intensity of distracting thoughts.
@@somebody2468 You are welcome. Search these 6 words in TH-cam and with subtitles on follow the 6 minute video breathing process while having your awareness on your heart. The 6 words to search are. "Best technique thoughtless awareness sahaja yoga" I followed the 6 minute video twice and my thought switch in my head went from being ON almost all the time to OFF being thoughtless the majority of the time. It is a life changing difference. I did it Jan 19, 2023 and since then I am usually thoughtless except when I choose to think. Which is a MIRACLE. Now I live, In The Moment NOW!!!!! It is a Rare procedure for a Miraculous shift in awareness and into living in the zone.
Yes, even Jesus said that we must lose our life in order to find our life in Christ. I think it means losing the separate "fallen" self. The separate self cannot by itself move into the higher stage. And choiceless awareness could be a step towards the higher state. It's tricky, because one cannot do choiceless awareness because that's again is choice. But one can be aware of the possibility.
Higher, lower, fallen: all concepts. Choiceless awareness is void of all conditioning, including thoughts of separateness. Separateness from what? Fallen from what? Lower or higher than what? Preferences/choices
@Matt Mackane The individual self. As I see it the individual self is a changeless and unique point within existence. A point cannot do anything by itself. It's more like a unique viewpoint within reality. This is the individual self.
Thank you. I saved this for a nightly meditation to try to unplug my mind from the matrix. So gently you convey such powerful knowledge. "Energy follows consciousness . Karma is just patterns in consciousness " wow. Unplug to change our way of being. Please consider creating a meditation for us to disconnect. .
Choiceless awareness means Awareness without any choice. Choice means like, dislike, judgment etc. Choice create duality. Choice create resistance to "What is".
Also as Krishnamurti said: Choice is the product of confusion and people mistake it for freedom. Whereas right action has no choice because there is no alternative, no opposite. There is no dilemma and conflicting thoughts, options. First time I heard it, my mind went crazy “no way this is true, it’s bs” 😂 Now I understand fully this truth .
But we have already chosen choiceless awareness and again fallen into the trap. Because while doing choiceless meditation when the dislike/like arise we are bound to say that "don't dislike/like" but just observe and here we have made the blunder of choosing but if we had not said "don't dislike" then dislike/like is already there. This is always my dilema.
@@maniksharma1403 No, you don’t suggest that you shouldn’t like or dislike or such feelings shouldn’t arise. You don’t even choose if they arise or not and if it’s bad or good. It’s neither, they just are. You don’t choose choiceless awareness, you are that. If you engage in mental chatter or get dragged by it then the awareness is still there of course, but you’ve identified with thoughts. Just let the thoughts do their thing and don’t bother to stop them or judge yourself for having them. Even if irritation arises, you can observe it without meddling with it. The point is by simply observing without interfering, every psychological activity, feeling, emotion dissolves really fast and leaves quickly. This can show you that emotions don’t have power of you and getting rid of suffering once and for all, is completely possible and realistic.
@@Alex722 the final part of your comment really makes so much sense, after having been pondering for so long over Krishnamurti 's talks... 🙏 I still have a hard time with "...emotion dissolves very fast and leaves quickly..." -- what if we get stuck/attached to anger, for instance? Observing without interfering... That's the point... But how do we get to it without thought?
Well done! Loved the braked down of the concepts of the consciousness being fractals linking on to pathways and the unplugging of the fan. This will help many on their journeys back to self. One Love

This video is a wonderful discussion of discerning the difference between motion and stillness. The graphics are first rate. The only sentence that gave me pause is "That YOU has to die." The idea of the death of the ego as a goal in spiritual practice is deeply misunderstood. As soon as we step away from our connection with stillness, even admist the motion of the physical body and mind, the patterns of motion must resume. Perhaps a better sentence would be "That YOU can be invited to soften as the presence of stillness becomes a more constant companion" or something like that.....because the only way the motion of the universe falls away is when our consciousness leaves our physical vessel. At least that is my understanding. Thank you for this excellent work.
When you imagine that you have controlled your thoughts and experience some space between two thoughts or some thoughtless state, you feel that you are getting somewhere. That is a thought-induced state of thoughtlessness. Thats a thought-induced space between two thoughts. The fact that you experience those states, space between two thoughts, and thoughtless state, means that the thought was very much there.
Lol, the title says it says it all. " Choiceless Awareness ", the observer of the mind and body, the thoughts and the feelings. Regardless of what the ego makes you attach to, the thinking, the personal identity, the feelings and emotions of the body. All of this as it happens, someone or something is always there, separate from the thoughts, emotions and feeling. You get it, it's AWARENESS. Namaste
We are all one pure love and one pure infinite Awareness 🙏💚 " Becoming stabilised in the Awareness ' I Am ' is all that is important. " ~ Nisargadatta Maharaji
@@peacebeyondpeace310 ‘Astral stuff’ is just the imagination. The imagination can conceive anything and convince the person of anything. It does this almost every night, through dreams.
When I was fully initiated onto the path of awakening I had a dream one night. I was walking through the woods on the path of "dying to self" and as I walked I suddenly threw myself down to the ground. However, instantly I bounced right back up. So I walked further and once again threw my body to the ground. And instantly it bounced back up. This continued for some time until I reached the edge of a massive cliff. The fall was sure to kill anyone. So I threw myself off. And I woke up.
TLDR: Awareness is unchanging and realizing our true nature leads to a state of being beyond ego identification and duality created by the mind. 1. 00:00 🧘 Resting in awareness and letting go of all thoughts and sensations leads to the esoteric wisdom that leads to samadhi, the goal of all spirituality. 2. 03:12 🧠 Let go of ego identification by being fully attentive to the present moment without seeking comfort or knowledge, and without the influence of egoic conditioning, concepts, or control. 3. 04:26 🧠 The mind is constantly in motion due to conditioning, but to reach Samadhi, one must shift from doing to being and let go of the egoic self. 4. 06:38 🧠 The Universe is constantly in motion, so how can we achieve stillness and awareness? 5. 08:01 🧘 Stillness and knowing go beyond the physical and mental, pointing to the non-dual and eternal Primordial Consciousness. 6. 09:33 🧘 Realizing our true nature leads to stillness and movement being one, and the cessation of the whirlpool of the mind is the aim of yoga. 7. 11:04 🧠 Ceasing identification and reaction to the mind diverts energy from flowing in conditioned pathways, leading to stillness and change. 8. 13:04 🧠 Uncover unconscious motivations, achieve silence within, and become empty of self through choiceless awareness and perseverance.
I've learnt and written about this "stuff" since I was younger, The way I exist.. "now", comes from my understanding of how one would feel if they had no memory, like a newborn baby. As krishnamurti say's It's about ending violence. Your experience is you as much as the entity that is wathcing it "the real you" who you can't see. When your memory goes, You become only the experience. The ego and idea of you being separate from everything you observe leave with the memories. Also as Krishna says, It occurs like you're already there when there is the ending of fear and attachment to any other state than that one that you are. not "become". Because becoming is a conflict between the present and the future as a mental construct, those don't exist when they don't exist, Only one thing, without the idea of many, and because you have become this, you become that one. Meaning the complete. Hope my seven years summed into a paragraph helped somewhat. We'll all be dead at some point ay so don't strain if it gets too much ay :)
A lot to digest. The fan allegory. Remember the wheel. If watching the wheel spin you might see it as being still. Not spinng just a spiral in the illusion of it spinning. This is life unchanged changing.
You explained perfectly clear in a few minutes the whole point of yoga and Buddhism as well. My question is where is the fun in Samadhi? What can guarantee bliss in that state?
@@AnandaFury You cannot experience anything in Samadhi. There is NO experiencer in Samadhi. It is impossible to describe Samadhi. If someone is describing Samadhi and telling experience of bliss. Then that person is fraud and lying.
@@Gaurav.P0 Did you ever have been in Samadhi? I know these states and the trancendental bliss, love and peace inside them. You have to reach them many many times until they become permanent. Of course there is no "I" in these states and you cannot describe them. But your being is still existent in these states and sees and knows.
Finding stillness by refusing no river springs joy of its own intuition. No separation is required for enlightenment, merely inner patience, grace and forgiveness if applicable...
Love this, it's so powerful and true. This vid found me less than an hour after I wrote a poem about the universe both being everything and nothing at once
Every thought you have in your mind is going be either A.) a statement, or B.) a question. Pay attention to your self-talk and you'll see for yourself how true this is. It's a binary/polarised thinking pattern, you overcome it by becoming aware of it and choosing to do something about it, choosing to still the mind and rest in thought-free awareness.
I achieved SAMADHI, a state of permanent Mental Silence iiving with a Quieted Mind, since January 10, 2023 in a Holy Grail of a short video on TH-cam that Source/God lead me to. Before I watched that video my mind was mostly filled with thought and only occasionally thoughtless. Now 150 days since watching that video my mind is still empty of all thought all day long, (except occasionally when I choose to think). It feels like Heaven. I am still free to think it just happens very little now, because thoughts are either of the past or the future. When you are truly In the Moment NOW, there is no thought, as you are connect to and guided by Source/God in each moment. In that State of Established Thoughtless Awareness I am in inner peace and enlightenment and living and enjoying the Present moment now. "Mental Silence is the Kingdom of God" Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. "When you quiet your mind you let go of all resistance and are connected with Source." Abraham Hicks. Thoughts take you out of the Present Moment. When you truly quiet your mind it is a Miracle. Some who achieved a thoughtless state of being permanently are Buddha, Sadhguru, Eckhart Toole and other present and past Masters. This video will not help you achieve Samadhi it will only talk about it but not show you how, so this video is just a teaser with no concrete method just a lot of good sounding words and no effective process. I had tried and practiced 4 types of meditations over the past 50 years, yet at best I achieved thoughtlessness for moments or minutes just nothing permanent like I did on January 10, 2023 that Source/God led me to and I have been loving it all day long since then. My life is much better since then. I feel better, I am wiser and I know that Source/God will help guide me and I will help myself. Living in Mental Silence is such an amazing blessing. I wouldn't trade that for $1 million dollars.
You say this video will not show you how. That's true. Nothing and no one can show you how. Any method, path or system necessarily has to be in space time. It must be from the past, or how else could you know a way? But this video is a contribution to what truth is.
I am grateful that I am at a point in my life where I can receive these things. Lord knows there was a time when I would have cast this pearl into the mud and trampled all over it. Thank you for grace.
To overcome the mind, we can start living in the NOW. That is the key for me.. Echhart Tolle explains this clearly and with humor in many many video's. He is another evolved soul helping humanity to free itsself.

There are powerful new ways of creating conditions of no escape for the egoic mind combining ancient practices with modern psychological tools such as the dyad. Check out our other video on how to practice self inquiry. th-cam.com/video/-lGYJX8TMW0/w-d-xo.html
When I was injured and in extreme physical pain, I went within on a different level. To learn to live in total bodily discomfort, to learn to simply BE. It took great dismantling of self in order to find Self. It was frightening but my choice was taken away. I had only that path available in order to learn to live again, in a completely different way, to find meaning in mere existence..there is no mere about it. Deconstructing the need to DO and to find my Self.
To seek and want is the ego, it took me a long time to realise that chasing answers about the meaning of life and existence is futile and will never be truely answered or fulfilled. It is a maze to keep you distracted from your real work of knowing the true self and also the shadow. The ultimate contradiction to this is that you think the ego is your enemy and trying to stop your progress but it’s also the drive what pushes you forward to find the true self… Without drive, you would never grow, by needing to grow and seek, you’ll never be at peace with what already is… The great paradox. Taoism is a great resource for this also ❤️🙏
Seeing the ego as opponent or dysfunctional is judgment. Judgment is work of the ego, so ego is judging itself.
Just seeing ego as it is, is enough. Just a part of our being.
Not good not bad, it is what it is.
Why would chasing answers about meaning of life and existence is futile ? . Is it becoz one is not able to come to terms to quest ? Coz it's hard but it's certainly not futile. Besides as much as dismissal may sound ok. Not having a coherent worldview leads to Nihilism. Saying these are futile questions will demand justifications. The nature of our reality and its cause is simply not worth of dismissal . People's subjective realisations dnt govern Morality . Some people can reach a certain darker realisation like Aghoris who are cannibalistic and the morality born out of it will result in destructive consequences. I wish it was easier to say that . But ignoring the fundamental questions will lead to disastrous outcome. This sounds like people dnt want to confront their anxiety . The reason I am not anxious anymore is becoz i tackled it .
I wish people could know the consequences of their words . As an ex moral nihilist . If their are no answers to this question then Nihilism is just as valid than any philosophy out their.

@@MODEST500 It is futile in the sense that you can never know the unknowable. You can form conclusions, educated guesses etc but none of it will ever be known for sure except in your head... I have been playing this game for almost 2 years trying to find meaning to my existence and all it has lead to is existential rabbit holes of my thoughts taking over and despair. The ultimate realisation to be had from this game is that it is a distraction of the Ego to justify it's existence and to know "more" like every other game, what you have isn't enough, you always need more. By needing more, you will never be enough... Yes we have a lot of work to do and a big journey to undertake but it is not to be found in the games of the Ego trying to distract you but found in becoming whole by integrating your shadow and bringing it into the light of conciseness / awareness. Pondering this stuff and identifying with your thoughts can only pull you out of the only truth which is the present moment of experience.
Your films are mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Two weeks ago, I was driving my son to wrestling practice and was first in line at a stop light. In a flash I became really aware I was staring at the red stop light and it had a magnetic pull. Simultaneously, I became aware of the energetic pressure of my foot on the brake pedal and the rather loud rushing of the cars passing by on the right. Instantly those apparent perceived “things” collapsed or vanished into the exact same space and then further collapsed into just knowing. It was instant recognition out of the blue and completely unsought that things are not things and whatever “they” are… they were me… whatever that is. It’s evenness and equitable and calm itself. Words can’t capture it. This new way of seeing has stayed and my mind activity has diminished by about 70% over the past two weeks. There is a subtle bubbling of uncaused joy and an even deeper sense of vibrant peace as a background to washing dishes, driving, listening to music, shopping etc… It’s always there now. I definitely don’t feel I know who or what I am now either and I don’t mind. I have responsibilities so I do them, but I no longer identify myself as I used to… and I’ve literally never felt more “myself”. I sense Gods grace is somehow working through people like you to shake humanity out of its slumber. Thank you for all of your beautiful work. Love and kindness.🦋💕

@@truenature8409 .... yes and no. Say yes to that which you, "dislike" and say no to that which you like. By neutralizing likes and dislikes, you can enjoy yourself, your true nature 😉
@@truenature8409 When you write, _"neutralise your affinities beforehand,"_ I'm not sure what you mean to convey. To my present understanding, the neutralization of affinities is a process, which has analogously been described in this video as the inertia that continues once the fan has been unplugged. Do you mean to suggest that one should 'stop the fan' before unplugging it? I'll appreciate any clarification you may care to share. Thank you.
@@truenature8409 Thanks for your reply. However, i'm still unclear about the _"beforehand"_ part that I mentioned in my earlier reply to you. While one is in the process that you described, what is the 'beforehand' separating? Put another way, what is it that one is putting off until later, so that one can _"neutralize their affinities"_ *beforehand* -- before what, specifically? Thank you.

This ancient wisdom always feels like magic in this modern age. Impossible to describe to the uninitiated. Humanity cries out for discipline. Knowing this makes me quietly explode with joy and the deepest love for this universe. It means everything and nothing. We all pass away. I pray that more people come to realize how special their place in the universe ultimately is. This is meaning. Gaze at the stars, breathe deeply and be at ultimate peace with clarity and stillness.
"without the filtering of the limited mind is to be present without choosing." Thank you for this presentation. The following excerpt is from the writings of Marshall Vian Summers on freedom and stillness or presence: "Freedom abides within you, waiting to be born... You who have lived under the weight of your own imagination, you who have been a prisoner to your own thoughts and to the thoughts of others, you who have been intimidated and threatened by the appearance of this world now have hope, for true freedom abides within you... As you come closer to freedom... you will be able to recognize more clearly what holds you back.. it is but your adherence to your own thoughts... your interest in your own imagination that holds you back.... Attempt to allow your mind to be still, which is the beginning of its freedom. This practice in stillness will enable your mind to shake loose the chains that bind it--its unforgiveness from the past, its anxiety over the future and its avoidance of the present. In stillness your mind rises above all that keeps it small, hidden and isolated within its own darkness... In your practice periods, be present and be still. Allow yourself to bathe in the luxury of emptiness. For the presence of God is first experienced as emptiness because it lacks movement, and then within this emptiness, you begin to feel the presence that permeates all things and gives all meaning to life." (MVS, Steps to Knowledge)
Thank you.
Interesting and profound
Very helpful thank you
. Look here, there is no present to the structure of the 'you'; all that is there is the past, which is trying to project itself into the future. You can think about past, present, and future, but there is no future, there is no present; there is only the past. Your future is only a projection of the past. If there is a present, that present can never be experienced by you, because you experience only your knowledge about the present, and that knowledge is the past.
@beinghuman3225 How does one move from day to day life with this knowledge, conceptual or experiential? How do you even go about surviving when faced with this reality? These might be the wrong questions, as they come from the egoic mind, but if everything is the past, how does one even operate on the level of form?
There are two primary knots that bind us to this illusory (ego) identity. #1) The body is attached to comfort. #2) The mind always (wants) to know. If we continue to seek comfort in the body and knowing in the mind then one shall be limited by the limits of mind and the illusory body.
The body is the sub-conscious or unconscious mind on which we have little control over. The mind you refer is the conscious awareness which is just 5% . The unconscious intelligence is what beats the heart, breathe, digest food and keeps the body alive. But, we tend to narrow only to mind which we can access that 5%.
Sad truth is how many of us are even using that 5% ... Literally 99.99% people are still narrowed down to believing and acting to the one which they see, hear and feel.
But, life is beyond that and that intelligence is what driving the whole show in this cosmos.. And we fail to trust that because we don't have direct access to it. 🙏
But, we can drop our knowing and melt in that unknowing/intelligence , so that every single thing we see, hear, sense would be spectacular, wonders and dreams around for which we would only have gratitude and appreciation 🙏
I'm working on not being comfortable.
I'm never comfortable unless i am taking a hot shower or sleeping. Otherwise life is discomfort

“Karma is simply the tendency for energy to follow established pathways.” ❤ I just said “wooooOOOOOOOOooooow” out loud when I heard that. I felt this but have never been able to articulate it or heard it out so precisely. Incredible. I will never forget that sentence.

I offer to you, my sincerest gratitude, for being my personal link to the divine oneness that is. I have followed you through all channels or pathways you have given to us freely. Inner, and outer worlds, samahdi, the gate of gates, I must thank you for my early death. I can not describe, nor do I have any desire to, the liberation and freedom given when the mind dies, and the ego and the self decay. Sure, many trials and tests arise, but the deeper inward you travel, the less any outward conflict has any existence at all. I am becoming pure consciousness alone, an observer like a tree, if indeed a tree is the name for them. Blessings, peace, and prosperity be with you always.

Core Self = Being aware of being aware.
Freedom is a Way of Being. Being aware of being aware is unmodulated by the 5 senses, thus unfettered, which is the resonant inner state frequency closest in alignment with the frequency of the all-inclusive Absolute, where all things are possible (Wisdom and Understanding).
Be still and silent and know That which is/That I am in contrast to what and who I am, and as that from which they arise and that to which they return.
Gnosis = awareness of the presence of the Eternal within the temporal.
It is identification with the temporal that blocks awareness of the presence of the Eternal within the temporal.
Empty of the temporal is by definition full of the Eternal.
The Rhythm of Life is a movement and a rest. The optimum (Heaven), is always found somewhere between the extremes of too much and too little (hell).
We are so habituated to making it happen outwardly, that letting it happen inwardly can seem impossible at first, even though letting go is as simple as free-fall - wu wei - effortless effort - a not doing rather than a doing.
Whatever the living fire of conscious attention dwells on today, we dwell in tomorrow.
Ultimately, our most significant choice at any moment of the day is between unconscious compulsive reaction and conscious creative response.

The understanding of this is vital to existence yet we are in a place that is tailored to keep one from understanding all things. One can't look without being fed the manure that grows egos.

The paradox of how the mind can stop itself only exists for an impersonalistic understanding of God (the problem is that the traditional understanding of "person" has been lost). God's creative self-disclosure is divinizing. You need only sink into the desire for God, and the mind thereby meets its natural satisfaction and end in God. The mind naturally collects itself around this end and comes to a rest in true worship. This is the active phase of contemplation. Once the mind consents to receive God in collected worship, there is a supernatural infusion in which the person is elevated beyond themself into transformative union. Yes, God is the unchanging dimension of existence, but God's unchanging nature is creative self-disclosure- pure gratuity. The difficulty is just that our society is currently prejudiced against the 'God' word. The ego refuses to believe in someone infinitely greater than itself exists (so it reduces God to some impersonal field of awareness), plus the abuses of the Church have made some allergic to anything Christian. But deep down, we have an innate knowledge of our Creator, and there is a sacramental connection between the word God and the Reality. A reciprocal gratuitous Love bypasses years of meditative effort through free grace.
Beautifully said
Well said but I doubt if the best of the articulation could ever lead to GOD or 'samadhi state' or Turia
But what is a person? And what is traditionalistic meaning of person? If God is a person (Christianity teaches us he is 3 persons) his personality must be different from ours which is illusory and based on our desires, likes and dislikes. Holy trinity is a dogma barely noone understands.
@@mietekjaroszek7899 The modern psychoanalytic understanding (beginning with Freud and Jung) of "personality" obscured the more classical theological understanding of person. More traditionally, our created persons are understood as incomplete participations in the fully personal relations of Trinity. A person is the capacity for and subsistence in relation. Your true knowledge and love for your mother, and how you take up and relate to all things, is the true nature of your individual reality (that ever grows in the divine life as deification). Thus, all persons are a part of each other in the body of Christ. The persons of the trinity perfectly relate to each other in perfect love-communion, whereas we are incompletely personal in our selfishness and finitude. There are boundaries between the union and intimacy of created persons, whether in the modality of sensation, feeling, knowing, thinking, etc. Each Hypostasis of the Trinity is distinguished by their modality. Each is perfect God, and so relates to each other fully. God's complete reality means each of God's modalities is likewise complete and comes to an irreducible threeness. An analogy would be Satchidananda (this would be Trinity-for-us, as each created person can only grow in their share in the divine Life).
@@maheshshastri5245 These aren't just words though- I'm describing a real process of deification. As our hearts reach out to God, our wills touch His. Our hearts at last find satisfaction in this embrace. This satisfaction passifies all the energies of the self into a collected stillness. Then, once our wills are completely receptive to God's will, there is an infusion of the Holy Spirit, and we come to know God intimately with our whole being and are taken beyond our being into the Divine Life (epectasis). Our finite souls cannot know God by their own effort- this infusion is pure gift.
Thank you...
The world is floating on the sea of Awareness...
Such a spiritual voice. Yet again another fantastic video. Thank you
I see that there's always something more to learn, even if it means unlearning what I already know.
I find it so difficult to describe these experiences to others. Ultimate stillness and clarity. It sounds absurd to the uninitiated.
Thank you for the whole series you’ve shared with us. It’s been so amazingly valuable. I’m going to rewatch.❤️🙏🏼

One of the deepest videos I've ever seen. Infinite gratitude to the makers.
One can never be conscious of consciousness, To be conscious of consciousness, there must be two conscious entities, but consciousness is only one. A knife cannot cut itself, the seer cannot see itself.. consciousness cannot be conscious of itself.A good article on the whole.
One day after years of seeking, the comedy of the individual attempting to become the witness became vividly clear. The irony of being at enmity with oneself in an effort to become one with everything was potently apparent. And the truth of what letting go truly looks like became utterly peaceful and surprisingly unremarkable. True freedom was at the door.
Wow. This is the most profound video I've ever watched in my life. All that can be said here is thank you from the bottom of my ❤️. You achieved what you set out to do with this unit of awareness here! Namaste❤.

Daniel’s voice alone is, in itself a meditation. To me a very resistant being to stillness this presentation is the truest path before me ,now just to be willing to take the 1st step
"How can I be still and know?" This question wanted to be asked but I was so ignorant to ask. And today, I came across this video
This is one of your best works ....Thank you.
The whole video is brilliant, much appreciated and needed. I particularly relate to your description of how, after finding stillness we discover mind to be part of stillness.
This is so fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom
Well said, all true. I appreciate the precision in the choice of words.
Samadhi is a term used in various Indian spiritual traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It refers to a state of meditative consciousness where the mind becomes completely absorbed in the object of meditation or the experience of deep concentration. There are different types and stages of Samadhi, depending on the tradition and the specific meditation practice employed. In Hinduism, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali describe different types of Samadhi: 1. **Savikalpa Samadhi**: This is a preliminary stage of Samadhi where the mind still holds onto thoughts and mental constructs, but the meditator is deeply absorbed in the object of meditation. In this state, the mind is still and focused, but thoughts may still arise occasionally. 2. **Nirvikalpa Samadhi**: This is a higher state of Samadhi where the mind becomes completely free from thoughts and mental constructs. In this state, there is no distinction between the meditator, the object of meditation, and the act of meditation. It is a state of complete and thoughtless awareness, also known as "established thoughtless awareness." In Buddhism, various types of Samadhi are described, depending on the tradition and the specific practice: 1. **Samatha Samadhi**: This type of Samadhi is achieved through the practice of Samatha (calm abiding) meditation, which aims to develop a single-pointed, focused, and stable mind. In this state, the mind is concentrated on an object of meditation without distraction. 2. **Vipassana Samadhi**: This type of Samadhi is achieved through the practice of Vipassana (insight) meditation, which aims to cultivate a deep understanding of the true nature of reality. In this state, the mind is focused on the impermanence, suffering, and non-self aspects of all phenomena. 3. **Jhana Samadhi**: In the Theravada tradition, Jhana refers to a series of eight progressive meditative states, each with increasing levels of concentration, bliss, and mental absorption. Jhanas are often considered as preliminary stages leading to deeper states of Samadhi. Regarding the state of established thoughtless awareness where there are no thoughts all day long, it is closest to the **Nirvikalpa Samadhi** in the Hindu tradition and may be seen as an advanced stage of meditation in the Buddhist tradition, where the meditator has cultivated a high level of concentration, mindfulness, and insight. It is important to note that reaching such a state of continuous thoughtless awareness throughout the day may not be practical or achievable for most individuals, as it requires a high level of spiritual development and sustained practice. However, regular meditation practice can help develop greater mindfulness and presence, leading to a gradual reduction in the frequency and intensity of distracting thoughts.

Yes, even Jesus said that we must lose our life in order to find our life in Christ. I think it means losing the separate "fallen" self. The separate self cannot by itself move into the higher stage. And choiceless awareness could be a step towards the higher state. It's tricky, because one cannot do choiceless awareness because that's again is choice. But one can be aware of the possibility.
Higher, lower, fallen: all concepts. Choiceless awareness is void of all conditioning, including thoughts of separateness. Separateness from what? Fallen from what? Lower or higher than what? Preferences/choices
Choiceless awareness is not done or undone. It is a state of being. Being, consciousness, bliss. It is non-dual by nature without effort
@Matt Mackane The individual self. As I see it the individual self is a changeless and unique point within existence. A point cannot do anything by itself. It's more like a unique viewpoint within reality. This is the individual self.
Thank you. I saved this for a nightly meditation to try to unplug my mind from the matrix. So gently you convey such powerful knowledge. "Energy follows consciousness . Karma is just patterns in consciousness " wow. Unplug to change our way of being.
Please consider creating a meditation for us to disconnect. .
This is a beautiful description of a traditional path to Awakening, I can imagine a Yogi in a Cave discovering this thousands of years ago,
Great video! Some people may not comprehend the concept of "being still", since it's not really a concept, but Ekhart Tolle videos may help with that.
Choiceless awareness means Awareness without any choice.
Choice means like, dislike, judgment etc.
Choice create duality.
Choice create resistance to "What is".
Also as Krishnamurti said: Choice is the product of confusion and people mistake it for freedom. Whereas right action has no choice because there is no alternative, no opposite. There is no dilemma and conflicting thoughts, options.
First time I heard it, my mind went crazy “no way this is true, it’s bs” 😂
Now I understand fully this truth .
@@Alex722 True 💯
But we have already chosen choiceless awareness and again fallen into the trap.
Because while doing choiceless meditation when the dislike/like arise we are bound to say that "don't dislike/like" but just observe and here we have made the blunder of choosing but if we had not said "don't dislike" then dislike/like is already there.
This is always my dilema.
@@maniksharma1403 No, you don’t suggest that you shouldn’t like or dislike or such feelings shouldn’t arise. You don’t even choose if they arise or not and if it’s bad or good. It’s neither, they just are.
You don’t choose choiceless awareness, you are that. If you engage in mental chatter or get dragged by it then the awareness is still there of course, but you’ve identified with thoughts.
Just let the thoughts do their thing and don’t bother to stop them or judge yourself for having them. Even if irritation arises, you can observe it without meddling with it.
The point is by simply observing without interfering, every psychological activity, feeling, emotion dissolves really fast and leaves quickly. This can show you that emotions don’t have power of you and getting rid of suffering once and for all, is completely possible and realistic.
@@Alex722 the final part of your comment really makes so much sense, after having been pondering for so long over Krishnamurti 's talks... 🙏 I still have a hard time with "...emotion dissolves very fast and leaves quickly..." -- what if we get stuck/attached to anger, for instance?
Observing without interfering... That's the point... But how do we get to it without thought?
Love the quote understanding the mind is movement/doing and realizing just being
Ah ha, thank you.. stillness often is the cleansing I've been asking for 🥰🙏💕✨️

This video is a wonderful discussion of discerning the difference between motion and stillness. The graphics are first rate. The only sentence that gave me pause is "That YOU has to die." The idea of the death of the ego as a goal in spiritual practice is deeply misunderstood. As soon as we step away from our connection with stillness, even admist the motion of the physical body and mind, the patterns of motion must resume. Perhaps a better sentence would be "That YOU can be invited to soften as the presence of stillness becomes a more constant companion" or something like that.....because the only way the motion of the universe falls away is when our consciousness leaves our physical vessel. At least that is my understanding. Thank you for this excellent work.
To realize source and to emanate that light in congruence with physical mind and body in space time. 🙏 Thank you
5:24 The mind will always fail in any attempt to realize stillness because the mind is movement.
When you imagine that you have controlled your thoughts and experience some space between two thoughts or some thoughtless state, you feel that you are getting somewhere. That is a thought-induced state of thoughtlessness. Thats a thought-induced space between two thoughts. The fact that you experience those states, space between two thoughts, and thoughtless state, means that the thought was very much there.
Lol, the title says it says it all. " Choiceless Awareness ", the observer of the mind and body, the thoughts and the feelings. Regardless of what the ego makes you attach to, the thinking, the personal identity, the feelings and emotions of the body. All of this as it happens, someone or something is always there, separate from the thoughts, emotions and feeling. You get it, it's AWARENESS. Namaste

" Becoming stabilised in the Awareness ' I Am ' is all that is important. " ~ Nisargadatta Maharaji
@@mattmackane So all astral stuff and experiences are equally unreal as a phusical one?
@@peacebeyondpeace310 ‘Astral stuff’ is just the imagination. The imagination can conceive anything and convince the person of anything. It does this almost every night, through dreams.
And ‘I am’ is witnessing.
When I was fully initiated onto the path of awakening I had a dream one night. I was walking through the woods on the path of "dying to self" and as I walked I suddenly threw myself down to the ground. However, instantly I bounced right back up. So I walked further and once again threw my body to the ground. And instantly it bounced back up. This continued for some time until I reached the edge of a massive cliff. The fall was sure to kill anyone. So I threw myself off. And I woke up.
That would have been a very long bounce

TLDR: Awareness is unchanging and realizing our true nature leads to a state of being beyond ego identification and duality created by the mind.
1. 00:00 🧘 Resting in awareness and letting go of all thoughts and sensations leads to the esoteric wisdom that leads to samadhi, the goal of all spirituality.
2. 03:12 🧠 Let go of ego identification by being fully attentive to the present moment without seeking comfort or knowledge, and without the influence of egoic conditioning, concepts, or control.
3. 04:26 🧠 The mind is constantly in motion due to conditioning, but to reach Samadhi, one must shift from doing to being and let go of the egoic self.
4. 06:38 🧠 The Universe is constantly in motion, so how can we achieve stillness and awareness?
5. 08:01 🧘 Stillness and knowing go beyond the physical and mental, pointing to the non-dual and eternal Primordial Consciousness.
6. 09:33 🧘 Realizing our true nature leads to stillness and movement being one, and the cessation of the whirlpool of the mind is the aim of yoga.
7. 11:04 🧠 Ceasing identification and reaction to the mind diverts energy from flowing in conditioned pathways, leading to stillness and change.
8. 13:04 🧠 Uncover unconscious motivations, achieve silence within, and become empty of self through choiceless awareness and perseverance.
Thank you so much for this. I have learned so much from your series of videos.
I've learnt and written about this "stuff" since I was younger, The way I exist.. "now", comes from my understanding of how one would feel if they had no memory, like a newborn baby. As krishnamurti say's It's about ending violence. Your experience is you as much as the entity that is wathcing it "the real you" who you can't see. When your memory goes, You become only the experience. The ego and idea of you being separate from everything you observe leave with the memories. Also as Krishna says, It occurs like you're already there when there is the ending of fear and attachment to any other state than that one that you are. not "become". Because becoming is a conflict between the present and the future as a mental construct, those don't exist when they don't exist, Only one thing, without the idea of many, and because you have become this, you become that one. Meaning the complete. Hope my seven years summed into a paragraph helped somewhat. We'll all be dead at some point ay so don't strain if it gets too much ay :)
A lot to digest. The fan allegory. Remember the wheel. If watching the wheel spin you might see it as being still. Not spinng just a spiral in the illusion of it spinning. This is life unchanged changing.
Nicely written and presented. Peace 🕉️
Thank you very much for sharing this video. And thank you for talking this rythm and ton that brings peace and makes it easier to lessen to. Namasté
You explained perfectly clear in a few minutes the whole point of yoga and Buddhism as well. My question is where is the fun in Samadhi? What can guarantee bliss in that state?
Listen to UG Krishnamurti
Samadhi is bliss. Any kind of Samadhi. It is the bliss of a higher dimension of life. When you experience it, you will know it.
@@AnandaFury You cannot experience anything in Samadhi. There is NO experiencer in Samadhi. It is impossible to describe Samadhi.
If someone is describing Samadhi and telling experience of bliss. Then that person is fraud and lying.
@@AnandaFury But why the universe bother with all this complexity then?
@@Gaurav.P0 Did you ever have been in Samadhi? I know these states and the trancendental bliss, love and peace inside them. You have to reach them many many times until they become permanent. Of course there is no "I" in these states and you cannot describe them. But your being is still existent in these states and sees and knows.
This is true gold ✨️
Forever thankful !
Where's part 2?
Thank you for sharing this information. It is soooo helpful!❤️
Finding stillness by refusing no river springs joy of its own intuition. No separation is required for enlightenment, merely inner patience, grace and forgiveness if applicable...
Thank you Daniel ❤
“ rest in naked awareness” the medicine
This is one of the best videos to get you closer to enlightenment.
Beautiful video 😍
Love this, it's so powerful and true. This vid found me less than an hour after I wrote a poem about the universe both being everything and nothing at once
Every thought you have in your mind is going be either A.) a statement, or B.) a question. Pay attention to your self-talk and you'll see for yourself how true this is.
It's a binary/polarised thinking pattern, you overcome it by becoming aware of it and choosing to do something about it, choosing to still the mind and rest in thought-free awareness.
By remaining as empty awareness, that's not really "doing" anything at all though is it? It's more of a non doing
Amazing stream of thought
Thank you
Namaste
Thank you sir 🙏😇
In short it's all about Vipassana meditation thank lord Buddha Krishna Shiva🙏😇
at first I was sceptical about this video. Made it to the end and I must admit, there is truth in this 😄
Thank You 🙏🏼 infinite love 🌌 💖 🌅
I achieved SAMADHI, a state of permanent Mental Silence iiving with a Quieted Mind, since January 10, 2023 in a Holy Grail of a short video on TH-cam that Source/God lead me to. Before I watched that video my mind was mostly filled with thought and only occasionally thoughtless. Now 150 days since watching that video my mind is still empty of all thought all day long, (except occasionally when I choose to think). It feels like Heaven. I am still free to think it just happens very little now, because thoughts are either of the past or the future. When you are truly In the Moment NOW, there is no thought, as you are connect to and guided by Source/God in each moment. In that State of Established Thoughtless Awareness I am in inner peace and enlightenment and living and enjoying the Present moment now. "Mental Silence is the Kingdom of God" Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. "When you quiet your mind you let go of all resistance and are connected with Source." Abraham Hicks. Thoughts take you out of the Present Moment. When you truly quiet your mind it is a Miracle. Some who achieved a thoughtless state of being permanently are Buddha, Sadhguru, Eckhart Toole and other present and past Masters. This video will not help you achieve Samadhi it will only talk about it but not show you how, so this video is just a teaser with no concrete method just a lot of good sounding words and no effective process. I had tried and practiced 4 types of meditations over the past 50 years, yet at best I achieved thoughtlessness for moments or minutes just nothing permanent like I did on January 10, 2023 that Source/God led me to and I have been loving it all day long since then. My life is much better since then. I feel better, I am wiser and I know that Source/God will help guide me and I will help myself. Living in Mental Silence is such an amazing blessing. I wouldn't trade that for $1 million dollars.
May be you could share that link for others to benefit as well.
Yes could you please share that link
I was expecting the link to the video after all that hype
You say this video will not show you how. That's true. Nothing and no one can show you how. Any method, path or system necessarily has to be in space time. It must be from the past, or how else could you know a way?
But this video is a contribution to what truth is.
Excellent teaching in gratitude
Dan, you are a good teacher and a good narrator. Thank you!
I am grateful that I am at a point in my life where I can receive these things.
Lord knows there was a time when I would have cast this pearl into the mud and trampled all over it.
Thank you for grace.
To overcome the mind, we can start living in the NOW. That is the key for me.. Echhart Tolle explains this clearly and with humor in many many video's. He is another evolved soul helping humanity to free itsself.
Eckhart tolle is a charlatan
Yea when you reconnect to Knowledge there is no choice, there is see and not do or See, Know, and Do.

There are powerful new ways of creating conditions of no escape for the egoic mind combining ancient practices with modern psychological tools such as the dyad. Check out our other video on how to practice self inquiry. th-cam.com/video/-lGYJX8TMW0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this upload 🙏🙏🙏❤️
11:44 - one of the best explanations of karma I’ve heard
This was so good. Is there more? THANK YOU SO MUCH! This answered my question, as I embark on seeking within me that stillness...
Have you watched 3 parts of samadhi movie?
Go to this channels playlists and find the Samadhi 1, 2, 3 and the guided meditations. If haven’t watched they are excellent videos. 🌻
