I can't imagine this helping anyone that isn't already familiar with ND. Whereas a person hearing this for the first time will look around them and say that clearly things aren't made out of consciousness, they need to FIRST understand that everything they experience happens EXCLUSIVELY within their conscious awareness. Everything they experience is verifiably OF consciousness. Without experiencing that fact firsthand, a person will try to relate these concepts directly to what they see as a world that is still external to themselves.
No one becomes enlightened. There can be the collapsing of the me structure. So YOU don't gain anything, it's a loss, replaced by nothing. There won't be a YOU to experience 'non-duality' . Presenting enlightenment as the ultimate reward for YOU is the ultimate illusion of the 'ego', the me structure.
Not become immortal,we are already immortal not only immortal we are eternal. We are infinite we have no beginning we are endless,boundless We are already one eternal soul, spirit consciousness separateness is unreal,its Maya and illusion, death and birth, rebirth are all illusion too. Everything that has beginning and end is appearance,illusion,Maya. Real true absolute reality is eternal. Long live the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. Not Believing in divine absolute means not believing in oneself and to deny oneself and to deny the existence of the oneself. Even evil l,suffering,misery, poverty, inequality, discriminations, genetic misfortune, cancer in children exists because they are too Maya,illusion and appearances. Everything that have,beginning,end start,limit, bounds is just unreal, Maya or appearance. absolute truth and reality is one and eternal.
@@josephoutward one becomes many for its own pleasure and enjoyment. That's why you see so much diversity in the universe. One is multiplied, diversified into many because the one wants to enjoys and experience all kind of pleasure and happinesses, and diversity .one want to suffer and experience all kinds of pain and suffering,misery and evil that's the reason you see so evil,suffering,greed,selfishness,lust,desire,ego,hate,anger, envy and love,selflessness, kindness, affection,compassion, humanity, nobility at same time. After all they are all illusion, apearence,Maya experienced, enjoyed and suffered by me, you(through the individual which is the one in actuality).
This video speaks to the illusion of being someone, promising him that he can achieve something more. But non-duality does not exist as a concept! it is the recognition that no one has ever existed as a separate entity. it's just a feeling and no one can do anything about it. The recognition of the illusion does not happen to the illusion.
You’re right. The illusion of being an individual realizing Oneness is another position of the “seeker energy” that is the illusion itself. Nonduality is when the “I AM” falls away and it’s just what is happening, as is, without an individual or other. When you look at the moon, where does the seeing happen? In your consciousness? In your optic nerve? In your pupils? In the waves of light between you and the moon? Or the surface of the moon? Where does the seeing happen? You cannot say where “everything else” and you are apart. In a dream, what is the dream made of? Where is a dream happening? Same answers.
Absolutely! Basically our brain makes this illusion of seperation. If our individuality is demolished we are all one. The universe is me I am in the universe ineach and every particle
This videos sickening totally pitiful like really gross homeless people shitting inside of a family cinema directly beside your row while you try to enjoy your film but it's starting to smell real ripe so the donut you bought tonight full of icing and topped with cinnamon thought highly delicious it might have wait because it smells kinda pungent no wonder that guy just blew out his entire lunch from out of tight rump
yes, it is not an experience. every method or experience or knowledge is absolutely fucking useless because already there is no one experiencing being alive.
The see'er of seeing can't be seen. The hearer of hearing can't be heard. The know-er of knowing can't be known. That which can't be known by the mind, But that by which the mind is known. Know this to be the witnessing consciousness or the true self. That witnessing consciousness that lights up the mind but the mind can not know. Nothing is ever created, And nothing is ever destroyed. Be as you are and know that everything is already fulfilled and complete.
Language Ya what a boogaboo .. but it's not a true self. Its the natural functioning of All This. Not a Sapien thing. Not a language thing. But includes it all yadda yadda yadda 😋
i went through this process completely by myself and realization happened through me , nobody in my family understood ,your explanation meant to lot ....thanks
You're already non-dual because duality does not exist. The ego is an illusion to live a physical life, this is normal and how consciousness can experience other than itself. There is only one consciousness. You are aware that you are aware, words can't explain it; it just is.
Everything in this video is true. We are all Consciousness. Everything around you is Consciousness. You are not a being that exist within Reality but you are Reality itself.
I drank 3.5g of mushrooms in a tea (plus another gram of dried mushrooms,) and I became nothing, dissipated out into the æther. I remembered that an atom is almost entirely empty space, which means that within everything, there is nothing. I learned the beautiful, ultimate simplicity of Nothing.
I was meditating one time and I had that feeling of being one with everything. It was brief and it wasn't a thought, it was an experience. But it was over very quickly. I wasn't *trying* to feel that way, that's not what I was meditating on. It just happened. 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for the video. I had a experience of Oneness in 1971 ( see 'WE ARE ONE - A Manifesto for Humanity'). I struggled to validate the experience (no one around me seem to understand what I was talkng about), so thanks for the affirmation. Like you, there is the process of working through of oneness to all areas of my life (still an ongoing process, that's evolution).
Trying to make people understand or get and idea of it will only create confusion to many. Please listen and follow the invitations of Mooji, Rupert Spira, Gangaji or Sunny Sharma.
Fear is another thing being perceived. Another thing such as Joy, Anger, etc. All that visits you, from the most terrible offense to the priceless gratitude gesture, all parts must be received equally. The things I understand are treated the same way as the things I don't understand. The things the body wants are treated the same way as the things the body fears. All that the mind could "do" in fact, is being whatched while fearing, loving, doubting, finding out, forgeting, remembering, etc. There is only one thing happening: the miracle of perception, wich is beyond the body senses or mind, because even the senses of the body and mind are included in this perceiving flow. All the time, everything has the chance to be noticed by this presence. Intelligence and it's absence; ignorance and it's absence, balance and it's absence. Even the sense of being the body has space in this endless hugging presence that stands still just whatching every emotion that emerges, almost if it were willing for them to freely flow and happen as they please. So, my friend, there is nothing wrong about noticing a hardship. You can't receive it the same way you receive a gift, naturally, but it could make you meditate about "what kind of treatment is that wich suits both opposite experiences?" This was the best way the mind could write it down: Peace doesn't rewards you more than Chaos. Chaos doesn't punish you more than peace. Let the mind think about it's willingness to choose and avoid things. There is peace in the absence of chaos. There is chaos in the absence of peace. One have relations with another. The mind plays the fool sometimes, but even the fool finds just enough space inside this awareness. The fool may find that it's backpack is in need of more good things to add to it and other bad things to throw away, but even the fool is a thing in the backpack. There is no book able to change the world if there is no reader. There is no understanding able to motivate actions if there is no presence to perceive it while happens. Oh, I just wrote too much
@Evident Nonownership you call truth non-debatable as you debate your “truth” in the comments.. i know i’m reaching a bit but come on i think subconsciously some of y’all still have brains telling you that experiencing non-duality is not the fucking meaning of life
I love reading all these comments from people arguing and posturing - all trying to outdo each other in showing off how much they don't exist: "This video is dumb, none of us exist..." "Oh yeah? I know I don't exist!" "Oh yeah? Well I know I don't exist sooo much more than you think you don't exist." Saying: I/we don't exist! Is one of the most egoistic things the ego can say... Wash your bowls you nihilistic egocentric children, nobody cares if you know you don't exist or not... :wink: The first rule of nonduality fight club is you are the only member of Nonduality fight club.
Good job, nice summary! Ill tell you a bit about myself, because of mysterious reasons: Ive been trying all kinds of substances, am done with them and am now mainly meditating and accepting everything. Love the teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. But there were a lot of "negative" aspects in my path, which I would exclude from this comment. Just be :)
Right! I learned the most about non-duality by a greek TH-camr called Dimitris Kokkinias, a "fan" of Maharaj - the book "I Am That" is a great one. Unfortunately the christian churches haven't understood (or do not want to understand) much
All separation is illusory because no one is there. It’s all one thing, if it’s all a dream that never was. The dreamer and the dream are a unified one. It’s nothing appearing to happening, but nothing is really there, not even the dreamer.
@i hate this generation All matter is energy, all energy was created in one instance. The energy that was created at the start of this reality is fixed and static in quantity, but mutable in form. This means nothing is permanent, meaning everything changes, time is the only factor that allows us to periceve the gaps inbeteen the nothingness and what we call consiunessness. Time what ever it is, allow us to view the transformation of the matter, but is that matter really transforming or are we just viewing it, as a keyframe, if you know anything about animations, you'll know that set points are interpolated to paint a moving pictures. The nothingness is when your consciousness or your specific individual point of being (which is a factual of the infinite source), is unable to move throughout time, and how do we know that, those points in time really "exists." The cia released documents saying the world is holographic in nature and that time is a mere illusion of the reality we create for our selves (im not kidding look it up), so I argue that while your objective experience may be real to you, its really no more real than any dream youve ever had. Those characters in your dreams are unware that they are dream characters, as is your own personal avatar. Whos to say that the beings inside your dream arent real, yes they're apart of you, but does that make them any less real? they are projections of you, and your dream self doesn't know the difference. So, i conclude, first of all you sound like a know-it-all and kinda like a dick, so you should be more open to the idea that your way isn't always the answer and should be willing to listen to others, but the main point is that your objective reality to me is no different than that of another person within a dream. We are all projections of the source conisouness, and in that we are alone. we are an infintie being tricking our selves into believing the universe and reality as we know it isnt a sick dark black shit hole so we incarnated our source being into infinite fractauls, making sure to forget who we are because the truth is, while the world and everything around is beautiful, its the best god damn lie mankind has ever told. So yeah, take this how you will, hopefully you can start to walk the path of oneness, that millions if not billions already walks (Hinduism supports this idea and has over 1.2 billion followers). Have a good life dude, hope you dont get too full of your self and lose sight of the true meaning of life.
5:28 I’m totally confused here. “A bottle cannot be any different than the sun because the bottle is made out of consciousness and *the sun is made out of some thing else”* the sun is made out of something else you said, i’m confused why it wasn’t said “consciousness“ just like it was said for the bottle? From what you were explaining before they are both made out of consciousness but then at 5:28 i get confused.
it would have been cooler if you'd have added the examples from Sanskrit Slokas and how Advait came about to be from the different compositions of indian schools of Philosophy..
@wiskifrac You should check these books out: 'The Book of Not Knowing' by Peter Ralston, 'God is Nothingness' by Andre Doshim Halaw, and 'Presence' by Rupert Spira. They are all very powerful!
“Duality is perceptive related, an objects position in relation to the observer” with that being said.. that’s when “ dual or two sided view is experienced over any physical space & time or time stamp over any physical view, event or conscious act in reality. And therefore; “Non- duality” is the highest level or the whole perspective of everything as one in the whole observable multiverse. And that’s the consciousness of this infinite reality!..
does nonduality mean simplifying different things as if they were all interconnected therefore can be perceived as one. so just knowing that everything is made out of atoms (like how stars and us humans are a result of stardust and share the same chemical elements) can create this concept of universal oneness Im still baffled by how can something be made of consciousness. is it the same as saying that everything you sense is produced by your consciousness like things won't exist unless you become aware of them
0:19 Non-duality can't be experienced; experience is a duality. You obviously already know this though, so I'm a little confused as to what exactly you mean by "experience".
Of course it can be experienced! My point was that non-duality cannot be experienced from an ordinary human consciousness. However, you can become 'everything' by doing certain practices to increase your level of awareness (consciousness). I talked about that in the video as well.
@@EvolvedTeachings Ok, but see my issue is that an experience is a duality by definition; the experiencer and the experienced. Oneness can't experience Oneness just as fire cannot burn itself.
@@MrJamesdryable In the absence of thoughts, memories, expectations etc. there is still the presence of awareness. This is awareness experiencing itself as awareness. We can say it is a non-dual experience, but to the dualistic mind it sounds non-sensical, because it can only operate from the point of view of duality; the subject-object relationship. We can talk about a non-dual experience for the purpose of communicating a concept, just so long as we understand that the word 'experience' is not the conventional understanding of a "me" the experiencer, experiencing "you" the experienced.
@@777xino actually you are using wrong terms. You cannot experience it. Experience means feeling it. You experience the taste, smell, and well everything in creation. But you cannot experience nothingness. It just is. For an example, can you see anything behind the head? You just cannot. But you are aware of it. Feel inside. It is same. You cannot experience nor understand nothingness in you. But you are aware of it. You are aware of being aware. Not experiencing it. Just aware. That's the difference. Awareness and experience are different. However, the term awareness is still loose term. Terms are used to point and refer to. But they don't define it. For an example, a chair. we know shared definition of a chair. We can refer and point to a chair by saying term "chair". Now, look at a chair without thinking it is a "chair". What do you get? You just are looking at it as it is. It just IS.
@@stillness7295 Yes, I tried to point this out in the second paragraph. Not very clear I admit. It "becomes" an experience when the mind gets hold of it as a concept and makes something out of nothing. That is why I said it was not an experience as we commonly understand it in terms of a subject and object relationship. However, the function of seeing or hearing is the very being of awareness, and that indeed can be known. Not by a separate knower but by awareness itself, or whatever you prefer to call that which is.
I’m my personal path, it is NECESSARY to go through duality to experience non-duality. Trauma that’s unresolved can GREATLY hold you back. It’s possible to cut through it but some things are necessary to go through to “reach” that other side.
It’s dual AND non-dual at the same time. It’s this side of the coin, that side of the coin, the middle that joins them and the coin itself, what it’s for, what it’s doing, at what time, in what place, because of what, etc. forest Gump managed to figure it out. “ I don’t know if it’s like mama says and we all have a destiny or if it’s like lt Dan says and we’re all just floating around all accidental-like on a breeze, but-I think it’s both… I think maybe it’s both happening at the same time.”
How can there be a spectrum of consciousness and how can some people have higher levels of consciousness than others if you just spent 10 minutes claiming that everything is one, and there are no dualities? The message you want me to believe is that my consciousness just is, it isn't good or bad, high or low, but in the same breath, you'll claim it's low and I need to raise it? and that's why you are anti rationality. So people don't question the parts that make no sense.
You are one of the very few who were able to see his Monism and irrationality for what it is. He wants you to not differentiate, to make that a thought crime. That way you'll accept the doublethink of heads is tails, death is consciousness, freedom is slavery.
[scroll to the bottom and read each segment backwards] The mushrooms really sparked a chain reaction that lead me to awakening. I wanted to become aware of the universe but it actually wanted to become one with me. Life leads to death and death leads to life Duality is an illusion All opposites are one. The opposite of you is everything outside of yourself. When we think of things as good or bad we try to force ourselves into the good, but good cannot exist without bad.
glad to see that you've also discovered the giant flaw in his false interpretation of the evidence, this guy is just spouting out nonsense for the most part, and he's completely unaware of his failure to recognize the fallacy which he instead see's as a ' non duality' ..... in layman terms, the OP of this video is just compounding a bunch of unproven personally subjective ideas which really doesnt describe anything of benefit, but rather reaches quite far into fantasy via this redundant word salad as a means to attempt describing a nonexistent hypothetical thought not even remotely close to making any sense as it delves into such farfetched and implausible theories . pretty sad actually ,
@@redstonespuuunge6695 I should ask you this after what you've stated; not that it is in OP's defense necessarily, rather related to conversation of : what the whole of reality is best defined by.
@@redstonespuuunge6695 I think looking into dialetheism and paraconsistent logic would be a better way to understand nonduality. That is, true contradictions! E. g. “This sentence is false” is a true contradiction, a dialetheism. That is to say that the contents within consciousness are true contradictions in the sense that they are ultimately qualia (you experience a sight of a sun, the warmth of day, the duration of sunlight, etc.) with quantitative measurements we can ascribe to, which them in themselves are empty of qualia.
Through ego and all that comes from "self" we came under the illusion of separation. All suffering comes from this illusion. I see our mission on this planet Gaia to remember what we are and heal the low vibrations(fears/traumas) that plague humanity. Our unity with source has never changed, and we exist everywhere, always and time is part of the illusion. We create our own reality, so let go of everything and get ready for a new experience. The Matrix Has You ;)
focuses on the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of infinite consciousness. Their mind becomes eager, confident, settled, and decided in that perception of the dimension of infinite consciousness. They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’
Very cool video! I've been a student of non-duality for 30 years and it's really nice and refreshing to hear a layman's description of it all. It makes it extremely accessible. 😀🙏💕
@@EvolvedTeachings Yes! Sounds great. Believe it or not I've been reflecting on your video about non- duality and it's been like the nail in the coffin. It's equalizing EVERYTHING for me . It's like when Neo finally sees the truth that the matrix is an illusion and the whole thing just deconstructs and falls apart. You have a real gift of breaking things down. 🙏
You got it wrong when you say things around you are "made" out of consciousness. It suggests that consciousness is some elemenentary particle out of which everything is made of. Rather the correct way to say it is : Everything is "in" consiousness. Nothing has an independent reality outside the consciousness. Just like things in the dream doesnt hv an independent reality outside ur mind. Dream objects are just appearances in the mind. Similarly objects that we see or feel including our own ego are merely appearances in consciousness.
Everything (creation) can be seen as infinite in it. But seen from absolute emptiness/nothingness, it is nothing more than a concept. Infinity becomes a concept in absolute emptiness. It is like a dream. We dream, don't we? For most, they are not aware that they are dreaming. When they dream, they find it so real in it. When they wake up, they would realize they created their own dream,characters, played both main character as well as all characters in dream, and also sees everything from back as a witnesser. They see every perspectives in that dream. When they are aware in dream, it's same for them. Nothing different. This is same case in the end or while being aware of it. Not to mention once again, the terms I used like nothingness/emptiness are only used for reference as well as a pointer. They do not define it.
I like it .. some may claim the absolute Non dual truth (source) is void/ emptiness , some may claim its pure existence consciousness but who knows what’s the Truth because in source there lies no ego so who to understand what the ultimate Truth is.... even sounds/ words also falls in the realm of duality.. it’s really fuzzy to express the absolute Truth through analogy the Truth from where first sound or primordial emery emerged ..
@@reconon my apologies for some language construct errors. I have stated that Creation *can* be seen as infinite within it but not really infinite. And yes, infinity doesn't become. That was an error on my own accordance. Lastly, not all of them are aware when they are in a dream. I cannot account based on limited information. My terms, your terms, they are limited because language constructs are very limited in its own grounds. I do not claim to be authority of truth. You have perceived me as that based on my interactions in this TH-cam domain. Again, my apologies for some confusion.
The reward part of it, together with the many concepts will keep the mind seeking and very far away to the immediacy of this moment. No practice leads to this. This is the end.
If anyone could be enlightened enough, permanently, they would get used to it. Then it would become a routine. Then it would become a set of mundane rituals leading to a formalised misunderstanding of the absolute. The result of this means the fundamental purpose of existence, remains unknown.
Anything perceived by five senses of human which is eyes, nose, ears, tongue, skin is in duality. Non duality is a state to go beyond, from physical to non physical. Everything exists in mind. Mind creates realities. We need to keep our mind aside and see....
If i can literally just sit around basking in my own happiness and love and self-satisfaction then that short-circuits all of life. That's the genius of this method. That's its power. You think this is a bug. This is not a bug. This is a feature. This is exactly what you want. You want to short circuit that because you see then it frees you up.
If anyone is interested in a concise description of non-dualism experientially check out D.E. Harding’s “On having no head”. First book I’ve come across that really puts this phenomenon in simple terms
I am beginning to see Christ's greatest commandment as non-duality. Love God with absolutely everything and love others as yourself. The latter contains the former. Self love is loving Christ. As Paul puts it, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." Christianity is not the exclusivity club so many have twisted it into. It is the same love of all presented in Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, native beliefs, etc. The terms and titles we get caught up in point to universal love because God is love.
Just because everything is composed of consciousness that doesn't mean they are not different. I can visualize a duck and horse in my mind which are both entirely made up of consciousness - but the duck is still different and separate from the horse. Duality is not a fiction. Both non-duality and duality are paradoxically real.
Lmao, you can't pursue the truth without differentiation, which is required for the laws of logic which is required to be rational. He wants you to not differentiate, to make that a thought crime. That way you'll accept the doublethink of heads is tails, death is consciousness, freedom is slavery.
This video is amazing. It really explains everything. Thank you for this much valuable content! Please keep up the good work, we need more people like you on this social media platform.
There are no such things as:"Ego death", "Enlightenment" or "transcending this world!" Those are just tricks of the ego(among myriad others!).You cannot escape you ego(until you body dies,that is!) but it's possible to keep it behind you, if you don't feed and acknowledge "it". Keeping it at bay, is the best that you can do, in order to have a semblemce of freedom in your pathetic life!Anything that you can come up with to defend yourself(ego!), is just another trap of your fragile and false sense of self. You boost your ego by feeding it the lies that it tells you; that "you" are thinking it. When you adopt critical thinking,aka discernment, you'll then be able to differentiate between yourself and your fals self. Until then you are a slave and living a lie, as if it were truth and perpetually spinning your wheels,getting nowhere fast!... 😒😵💫...
Duality is the divided mind, which create a tug of war inside your mind. It is the source of failures, indecisions, wrong decisions, confilcts, disagreements and wars. It is what divides the being, the group and the humanity.
This is my way of demonstrating the truth of non-duality; Evidently, there is an apparent "inside" (e.g. You), and an apparent "outside" (e.g. Not You). Logically, the "inside" cannot possibly be "not outside" (as it is) independently of an "outside", just as the "outside" cannot possibly be "not inside" (as it is) independently of an "inside". To hypothetically elaborate, if the "inside" were to somehow completely eliminate the "outside", the "inside" would no longer be able to BE "not outside", and so would no longer be able to BE the "inside". Conversely, if the "outside" were to somehow completely eliminate the "inside", the "outside" would no longer be able to BE "not inside", and so would no longer be able to BE the "outside". In this way, the very IDENTITY of the "inside" fundamentally includes the "outside" WITHIN itself, just as the very IDENTITY of the "outside" fundamentally includes the "inside" WITHIN itself. This being the case, neither the "inside" nor the "outside" can actually be the solely self-inclusive entities that they conceptually SEEM to be, but rather, are justifiably regardable as "presently apparent features" of What Is. The same is obviously true of ALL so-called things. Logically, there can be no reason why What Is has ANY apparent features at all, let alone THESE ones. It just DOES.
@i hate this generation Sure there is. It's just that the two are demonstrably one. Conceptually not the same, concretely not different. YOU get over it. 😉
@i hate this generation If the "inside" of that box were to somehow completely eliminate the "outside" of that box, in what sense would it be able to remain "not outside" (as it is), and as such, in what way would it be able to remain the "inside"? Both concepts are utterly meaningless without their opposite. THAT is their connection, and the implicit oneness of the explicit two.
@i hate this generation In another, perhaps even more obvious sense, the box ITSELF is the connection between the inside and the outside. It can't have an outside unless it has an inside, and vice versa. It can be validly conceptualized either as a divider OR as a connector.
You are one of the very few who were able to see his Monism for what it is. He wants you to not differentiate, to make that a thought crime. That way you'll accept the doublethink of heads is tails, death is consciousness, freedom is slavery.
I did magic mushrooms a few months ago and I became one with the mushroom a it is a fungus that grows and reached out it's roots to expand and absorb nutrients I felt that explained it reality was an amazing experience.
@Evolved Teacuings: How did you come to make videos like this. On Spiritual, mind subjects while majority of people make videos on entertainment. I think you have a story, please share it for us.
If only the everlasting exists, how does having an explanation for the infinite, the eternal, the everlasting, become the answer for anyone else...? What is the point of living with the gift of knowing all that can be known and leaving it unopened? Who will open the gift? Surely, there has to be a someone else, something else, some being, somewhere, to be able to open the gift, of knowing all that can be known.
In my opinion non-duality is too onesided. While it is true that we are not completely seperate, it would be wrong to identify with being everything. Everything is a MANIFESTATION of the same underlying substance. So it is neither seperate nor EXACTLY the same. Prefering oneness over duality is just another duality, favoring one thing over the other. If you really want to accept non-duality you gotta accept duality as being equally real. Everything exists in relation to eachother. There can be no creation without differentiation. True non-duality is also something you can not experience since there still has to be SOMETHING to experience it. Of course this is just my opinion. But I think if you really want non-duality you need to accept duality as equally real
well said. i see a lot of nondualists who deny reality and say nothing is real and nothing is happening and all pain and suffering is love and good. its absurd and escapism/ spiritual bypassing
The explanation is great, just the topic is not intresting, i feel like i didn't learn anything at the end, but i enjoyed watching the video till the end 🤩
I will put my plants close to a bottle so they can undertake photosynthesis. I tried to pick up a bottle but my hand burned off because the bottle was the same as the sun in consciousness. Great tools to live by.
good video. If there is only infinite "consciousness", who/what needs a method or practice to go where or get what? I (a person/entity) was taught to believe that I am separate from everything else but what if I somehow stop believing this? Stay tuned.............
The opposite of a tree or a ball is anything other than the tree or a ball. You could say the opposite of a tree is the ground or the sky. They appear different because we carve each out and separate them to describe different parts of the whole. The tree could not exist without the ground, the sun, or rain from the sky. They all depend on each other and are therefore entangled. Like bees and flowers. Where you don’t find flowers, you won’t find bees and vice versa. Although they look different, they depend on each other for their existence. The head and tail of the cat are the cat. You can’t have random cat heads popping up by themselves. Just because we single out and label these things doesn’t mean they’re actually separate. They all depend on each other because they are each other. Reality isn’t a bunch of pieces that make up a whole. It’s a whole that manifests as many parts. By believing that everything is separate, we we lost sight that everything is one.
@@foothills4x4 then why does this video give examples of duality such as up/down, man/woman etc. Going by what you said you could say up/pineapple, man/bongo are dualities also. It seems the video is trying to say a duality is an opposite pair while you're saying a duality is a thing and anything that is not that thing. These are very different concepts. Are you saying the video is wrong in how it defines duality? Just trying to understand.
I can't imagine this helping anyone that isn't already familiar with ND.

No one becomes enlightened. There can be the collapsing of the me structure. So YOU don't gain anything, it's a loss, replaced by nothing. There won't be a YOU to experience 'non-duality' . Presenting enlightenment as the ultimate reward for YOU is the ultimate illusion of the 'ego', the me structure.
Yes KAM... Nonduality offers nothing...and me is only ever interested in attaining, for itself, something. :)
This is why enlightenment is a great method.
bingo
Yes!! This mind was thinking this but couldn’t put it into words 😂

Going through the realization now, its actually relieving. I still go about my daily activities and work but everything is lighter.
"You can even become immortal ..." but if everything is One, you already *are* immortal, whether "alive" or "dead", even if you don't believe it!

Not become immortal,we are already immortal not only immortal we are eternal. We are infinite we have no beginning we are endless,boundless We are already one eternal soul, spirit consciousness separateness is unreal,its Maya and illusion, death and birth, rebirth are all illusion too. Everything that has beginning and end is appearance,illusion,Maya. Real true absolute reality is eternal. Long live the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. Not Believing in divine absolute means not believing in oneself and to deny oneself and to deny the existence of the oneself. Even evil l,suffering,misery, poverty, inequality, discriminations, genetic misfortune, cancer in children exists because they are too Maya,illusion and appearances. Everything that have,beginning,end start,limit, bounds is just unreal, Maya or appearance. absolute truth and reality is one and eternal.
@@josephoutward one becomes many for its own pleasure and enjoyment. That's why you see so much diversity in the universe. One is multiplied, diversified into many because the one wants to enjoys and experience all kind of pleasure and happinesses, and diversity .one want to suffer and experience all kinds of pain and suffering,misery and evil that's the reason you see so evil,suffering,greed,selfishness,lust,desire,ego,hate,anger, envy and love,selflessness, kindness, affection,compassion, humanity, nobility at same time. After all they are all illusion, apearence,Maya experienced, enjoyed and suffered by me, you(through the individual which is the one in actuality).
This video speaks to the illusion of being someone, promising him that he can achieve something more. But non-duality does not exist as a concept! it is the recognition that no one has ever existed as a separate entity. it's just a feeling and no one can do anything about it.
The recognition of the illusion does not happen to the illusion.
You’re right. The illusion of being an individual realizing Oneness is another position of the “seeker energy” that is the illusion itself. Nonduality is when the “I AM” falls away and it’s just what is happening, as is, without an individual or other.
When you look at the moon, where does the seeing happen? In your consciousness? In your optic nerve? In your pupils? In the waves of light between you and the moon? Or the surface of the moon? Where does the seeing happen? You cannot say where “everything else” and you are apart.
In a dream, what is the dream made of? Where is a dream happening? Same answers.
Absolutely! Basically our brain makes this illusion of seperation. If our individuality is demolished we are all one. The universe is me I am in the universe ineach and every particle

yes, it is not an experience. every method or experience or knowledge is absolutely fucking useless because already there is no one experiencing being alive.
The see'er of seeing can't be seen.
The hearer of hearing can't be heard.
The know-er of knowing can't be known.
That which can't be known by the mind, But that by which the mind is known.
Know this to be the witnessing consciousness or the true self.
That witnessing consciousness that lights up the mind but the mind can not know.
Nothing is ever created, And nothing is ever destroyed.

i went through this process completely by myself and realization happened through me , nobody in my family understood ,your explanation meant to lot ....thanks
You're already non-dual because duality does not exist. The ego is an illusion to live a physical life, this is normal and how consciousness can experience other than itself. There is only one consciousness. You are aware that you are aware, words can't explain it; it just is.

Everything in this video is true. We are all Consciousness. Everything around you is Consciousness. You are not a being that exist within Reality but you are Reality itself.
I drank 3.5g of mushrooms in a tea (plus another gram of dried mushrooms,) and I became nothing, dissipated out into the æther. I remembered that an atom is almost entirely empty space, which means that within everything, there is nothing. I learned the beautiful, ultimate simplicity of Nothing.
I was meditating one time and I had that feeling of being one with everything. It was brief and it wasn't a thought, it was an experience. But it was over very quickly. I wasn't *trying* to feel that way, that's not what I was meditating on. It just happened. 🤷🏼♀️

Thanks for the video. I had a experience of Oneness in 1971 ( see 'WE ARE ONE - A Manifesto for Humanity'). I struggled to validate the experience (no one around me seem to understand what I was talkng about), so thanks for the affirmation. Like you, there is the process of working through of oneness to all areas of my life (still an ongoing process, that's evolution).
Trying to make people understand or get and idea of it will only create confusion to many.
Please listen and follow the invitations of Mooji, Rupert Spira, Gangaji or Sunny Sharma.
I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of living.. because of all the physical pain and anxiety.
Have you tried working on your anxiety? Life can be such a beautiful experience...
Fear is another thing being perceived. Another thing such as Joy, Anger, etc. All that visits you, from the most terrible offense to the priceless gratitude gesture, all parts must be received equally.
The things I understand are treated the same way as the things I don't understand. The things the body wants are treated the same way as the things the body fears. All that the mind could "do" in fact, is being whatched while fearing, loving, doubting, finding out, forgeting, remembering, etc. There is only one thing happening: the miracle of perception, wich is beyond the body senses or mind, because even the senses of the body and mind are included in this perceiving flow.
All the time, everything has the chance to be noticed by this presence. Intelligence and it's absence; ignorance and it's absence, balance and it's absence. Even the sense of being the body has space in this endless hugging presence that stands still just whatching every emotion that emerges, almost if it were willing for them to freely flow and happen as they please.
So, my friend, there is nothing wrong about noticing a hardship. You can't receive it the same way you receive a gift, naturally, but it could make you meditate about "what kind of treatment is that wich suits both opposite experiences?"
This was the best way the mind could write it down: Peace doesn't rewards you more than Chaos. Chaos doesn't punish you more than peace. Let the mind think about it's willingness to choose and avoid things. There is peace in the absence of chaos. There is chaos in the absence of peace. One have relations with another. The mind plays the fool sometimes, but even the fool finds just enough space inside this awareness. The fool may find that it's backpack is in need of more good things to add to it and other bad things to throw away, but even the fool is a thing in the backpack.
There is no book able to change the world if there is no reader. There is no understanding able to motivate actions if there is no presence to perceive it while happens.

@Evident Nonownership you call truth non-debatable as you debate your “truth” in the comments.. i know i’m reaching a bit but come on i think subconsciously some of y’all still have brains telling you that experiencing non-duality is not the fucking meaning of life
@Evident Nonownership the walls up comment was in response to the original comment
Q: why must we dwell on duality?
A: well, then conversation would cease.
I love reading all these comments from people arguing and posturing - all trying to outdo each other in showing off how much they don't exist:
"This video is dumb, none of us exist..."
"Oh yeah? I know I don't exist!"
"Oh yeah? Well I know I don't exist sooo much more than you think you don't exist."
Saying: I/we don't exist! Is one of the most egoistic things the ego can say...
Wash your bowls you nihilistic egocentric children, nobody cares if you know you don't exist or not... :wink:

Great video and on point, fellow conscious, sovereign, celestial being of pure awareness.
Good job, nice summary! Ill tell you a bit about myself, because of mysterious reasons: Ive been trying all kinds of substances, am done with them and am now mainly meditating and accepting everything. Love the teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. But there were a lot of "negative" aspects in my path, which I would exclude from this comment. Just be :)
That's an amazing realization. So simple, yet so hard to get there!
Right! I learned the most about non-duality by a greek TH-camr called Dimitris Kokkinias, a "fan" of Maharaj - the book "I Am That" is a great one. Unfortunately the christian churches haven't understood (or do not want to understand) much
It takes a deep understanding of the topic to explain it so plainly.
please don't stop making videos like this you deserve sooo many more followers
Thank you! There is more coming soon.
Great, simple explanation of a really difficult conceptualization. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
All separation is illusory because no one is there. It’s all one thing, if it’s all a dream that never was. The dreamer and the dream are a unified one. It’s nothing appearing to happening, but nothing is really there, not even the dreamer.
there exists everything and nothing at the exact same time. we are simply here to perceive it
@i hate this generation All matter is energy, all energy was created in one instance. The energy that was created at the start of this reality is fixed and static in quantity, but mutable in form. This means nothing is permanent, meaning everything changes, time is the only factor that allows us to periceve the gaps inbeteen the nothingness and what we call consiunessness. Time what ever it is, allow us to view the transformation of the matter, but is that matter really transforming or are we just viewing it, as a keyframe, if you know anything about animations, you'll know that set points are interpolated to paint a moving pictures. The nothingness is when your consciousness or your specific individual point of being (which is a factual of the infinite source), is unable to move throughout time, and how do we know that, those points in time really "exists." The cia released documents saying the world is holographic in nature and that time is a mere illusion of the reality we create for our selves (im not kidding look it up), so I argue that while your objective experience may be real to you, its really no more real than any dream youve ever had. Those characters in your dreams are unware that they are dream characters, as is your own personal avatar. Whos to say that the beings inside your dream arent real, yes they're apart of you, but does that make them any less real? they are projections of you, and your dream self doesn't know the difference. So, i conclude, first of all you sound like a know-it-all and kinda like a dick, so you should be more open to the idea that your way isn't always the answer and should be willing to listen to others, but the main point is that your objective reality to me is no different than that of another person within a dream. We are all projections of the source conisouness, and in that we are alone. we are an infintie being tricking our selves into believing the universe and reality as we know it isnt a sick dark black shit hole so we incarnated our source being into infinite fractauls, making sure to forget who we are because the truth is, while the world and everything around is beautiful, its the best god damn lie mankind has ever told. So yeah, take this how you will, hopefully you can start to walk the path of oneness, that millions if not billions already walks (Hinduism supports this idea and has over 1.2 billion followers). Have a good life dude, hope you dont get too full of your self and lose sight of the true meaning of life.
5:28 I’m totally confused here.
“A bottle cannot be any different than the sun because the bottle is made out of consciousness and *the sun is made out of some thing else”* the sun is made out of something else you said, i’m confused why it wasn’t said “consciousness“ just like it was said for the bottle?
From what you were explaining before they are both made out of consciousness but then at 5:28 i get confused.
Wow I didn't even notice that, nice typo
you absolutely cracked it brooo!!! evrything is conciousness even my mistakes is good and bad and consciouness ahahahahaha
it would have been cooler if you'd have added the examples from Sanskrit Slokas and how Advait came about to be from the different compositions of indian schools of Philosophy..

Do you have some books to recommend on the subject?
@wiskifrac You should check these books out: 'The Book of Not Knowing' by Peter Ralston, 'God is Nothingness' by Andre Doshim Halaw, and 'Presence' by Rupert Spira. They are all very powerful!
@@EvolvedTeachings Thanks a lot for the recommendation!
@i hate this generation who or what is that who thinks or assumes that bullshit? Let me know once you find that 😜

“Duality is perceptive related, an objects position in relation to the observer” with that being said.. that’s when “ dual or two sided view is experienced over any physical space & time or time stamp over any physical view, event or conscious act in reality.
And therefore; “Non- duality” is the highest level or the whole perspective of everything as one in the whole observable multiverse. And that’s the consciousness of this infinite reality!..
does nonduality mean simplifying different things as if they were all interconnected therefore can be perceived as one. so just knowing that everything is made out of atoms (like how stars and us humans are a result of stardust and share the same chemical elements) can create this concept of universal oneness
Im still baffled by how can something be made of consciousness. is it the same as saying that everything you sense is produced by your consciousness like things won't exist unless you become aware of them
The distinction between consciousness and unconsciousness is imaginary. Everything is non-dual. Notice the dualities you are creating.
Thank you for explaining such a great truth so simply❤ awareness is non -duality
0:19 Non-duality can't be experienced; experience is a duality. You obviously already know this though, so I'm a little confused as to what exactly you mean by "experience".
Of course it can be experienced! My point was that non-duality cannot be experienced from an ordinary human consciousness. However, you can become 'everything' by doing certain practices to increase your level of awareness (consciousness). I talked about that in the video as well.
@@EvolvedTeachings Ok, but see my issue is that an experience is a duality by definition; the experiencer and the experienced. Oneness can't experience Oneness just as fire cannot burn itself.
@@MrJamesdryable In the absence of thoughts, memories, expectations etc. there is still the presence of awareness. This is awareness experiencing itself as awareness. We can say it is a non-dual experience, but to the dualistic mind it sounds non-sensical, because it can only operate from the point of view of duality; the subject-object relationship.
We can talk about a non-dual experience for the purpose of communicating a concept, just so long as we understand that the word 'experience' is not the conventional understanding of a "me" the experiencer, experiencing "you" the experienced.
@@777xino actually you are using wrong terms. You cannot experience it. Experience means feeling it. You experience the taste, smell, and well everything in creation. But you cannot experience nothingness. It just is. For an example, can you see anything behind the head? You just cannot. But you are aware of it. Feel inside. It is same. You cannot experience nor understand nothingness in you. But you are aware of it. You are aware of being aware. Not experiencing it. Just aware. That's the difference. Awareness and experience are different. However, the term awareness is still loose term. Terms are used to point and refer to. But they don't define it. For an example, a chair.
we know shared definition of a chair. We can refer and point to a chair by saying term "chair". Now, look at a chair without thinking it is a "chair". What do you get? You just are looking at it as it is. It just IS.
@@stillness7295 Yes, I tried to point this out in the second paragraph. Not very clear I admit.
It "becomes" an experience when the mind gets hold of it as a concept and makes something out of nothing. That is why I said it was not an experience as we commonly understand it in terms of a subject and object relationship. However, the function of seeing or hearing is the very being of awareness, and that indeed can be known. Not by a separate knower but by awareness itself, or whatever you prefer to call that which is.
I’m my personal path, it is NECESSARY to go through duality to experience non-duality. Trauma that’s unresolved can GREATLY hold you back. It’s possible to cut through it but some things are necessary to go through to “reach” that other side.
Yeah. You need to find your ego first in order to lose it... (I think Osho said so)
It’s dual AND non-dual at the same time. It’s this side of the coin, that side of the coin, the middle that joins them and the coin itself, what it’s for, what it’s doing, at what time, in what place, because of what, etc. forest Gump managed to figure it out. “ I don’t know if it’s like mama says and we all have a destiny or if it’s like lt Dan says and we’re all just floating around all accidental-like on a breeze, but-I think it’s both… I think maybe it’s both happening at the same time.”
I enjoy your content. Please keep it up!
How can there be a spectrum of consciousness and how can some people have higher levels of consciousness than others if you just spent 10 minutes claiming that everything is one, and there are no dualities? The message you want me to believe is that my consciousness just is, it isn't good or bad, high or low, but in the same breath, you'll claim it's low and I need to raise it? and that's why you are anti rationality. So people don't question the parts that make no sense.
You are one of the very few who were able to see his Monism and irrationality for what it is.
He wants you to not differentiate, to make that a thought crime.
That way you'll accept the doublethink of heads is tails, death is consciousness, freedom is slavery.
Makes sense intellectually but until you actually experience it, you won’t understand.

Duality contains non-duality and non-duality contains duality. The consistent paradox
glad to see that you've also discovered the giant flaw in his false interpretation of the evidence,
this guy is just spouting out nonsense for the most part, and he's completely unaware of his failure to recognize the fallacy which he instead see's as a ' non duality' ..... in layman terms, the OP of this video is just compounding a bunch of unproven personally subjective ideas which really doesnt describe anything of benefit, but rather reaches quite far into fantasy via this redundant word salad as a means to attempt describing a nonexistent hypothetical thought not even
remotely close to making any sense as it delves into such farfetched and implausible theories . pretty sad actually ,
@@redstonespuuunge6695 I should ask you this after what you've stated; not that it is in OP's defense necessarily, rather related to conversation of : what the whole of reality is best defined by.
@@redstonespuuunge6695 I think looking into dialetheism and paraconsistent logic would be a better way to understand nonduality. That is, true contradictions! E. g. “This sentence is false” is a true contradiction, a dialetheism.
That is to say that the contents within consciousness are true contradictions in the sense that they are ultimately qualia (you experience a sight of a sun, the warmth of day, the duration of sunlight, etc.) with quantitative measurements we can ascribe to, which them in themselves are empty of qualia.
Thank You, I have been struggling for words for what I feel and I found them
Thanks for watching!
Through ego and all that comes from "self" we came under the illusion of separation. All suffering comes from this illusion. I see our mission on this planet Gaia to remember what we are and heal the low vibrations(fears/traumas) that plague humanity. Our unity with source has never changed, and we exist everywhere, always and time is part of the illusion. We create our own reality, so let go of everything and get ready for a new experience. The Matrix Has You ;)
So good, it must get more views
focuses on the oneness dependent on the perception of the dimension of infinite consciousness. Their mind becomes eager, confident, settled, and decided in that perception of the dimension of infinite consciousness.
They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’

Very cool video! I've been a student of non-duality for 30 years and it's really nice and refreshing to hear a layman's description of it all. It makes it extremely accessible. 😀🙏💕

@@EvolvedTeachings Yes! Sounds great. Believe it or not I've been reflecting on your video about non- duality and it's been like the nail in the coffin. It's equalizing EVERYTHING for me . It's like when Neo finally sees the truth that the matrix is an illusion and the whole thing just deconstructs and falls apart. You have a real gift of breaking things down. 🙏

How can something be made of consciousness if we can't explain what it is or even if it exists at all?
Those are all just words
Awesome video thank you!
We are all born from a duality, man and women, this is life...
we experience like on earth through this lense !!!! It’s not absolute in the universe
You got it wrong when you say things around you are "made" out of consciousness. It suggests that consciousness is some elemenentary particle out of which everything is made of. Rather the correct way to say it is : Everything is "in" consiousness. Nothing has an independent reality outside the consciousness. Just like things in the dream doesnt hv an independent reality outside ur mind. Dream objects are just appearances in the mind. Similarly objects that we see or feel including our own ego are merely appearances in consciousness.
very good explaination .....i didn't find that easier in any other video
Everything (creation) can be seen as infinite in it. But seen from absolute emptiness/nothingness, it is nothing more than a concept. Infinity becomes a concept in absolute emptiness. It is like a dream. We dream, don't we?
For most, they are not aware that they are dreaming. When they dream, they find it so real in it. When they wake up, they would realize they created their own dream,characters, played both main character as well as all characters in dream, and also sees everything from back as a witnesser. They see every perspectives in that dream. When they are aware in dream, it's same for them. Nothing different.
This is same case in the end or while being aware of it. Not to mention once again, the terms I used like nothingness/emptiness are only used for reference as well as a pointer. They do not define it.
Life is nothing but a dream...you got it!
I like it .. some may claim the absolute Non dual truth (source) is void/ emptiness , some may claim its pure existence consciousness but who knows what’s the Truth because in source there lies no ego so who to understand what the ultimate Truth is.... even sounds/ words also falls in the realm of duality.. it’s really fuzzy to express the absolute Truth through analogy the Truth from where first sound or primordial emery emerged ..
@@reconon my apologies for some language construct errors. I have stated that Creation *can* be seen as infinite within it but not really infinite. And yes, infinity doesn't become. That was an error on my own accordance. Lastly, not all of them are aware when they are in a dream. I cannot account based on limited information. My terms, your terms, they are limited because language constructs are very limited in its own grounds. I do not claim to be authority of truth. You have perceived me as that based on my interactions in this TH-cam domain. Again, my apologies for some confusion.
Nothingness or “the void” contains the “potential for all possibilities to occur”.
@@a13xdunlop Please, provide a QM theory for it and your math. Just saying things won't do anything.
The reward part of it, together with the many concepts will keep the mind seeking and very far away to the immediacy of this moment. No practice leads to this. This is the end.
If anyone could be enlightened enough, permanently, they would get used to it. Then it would become a routine. Then it would become a set of mundane rituals leading to a formalised misunderstanding of the absolute. The result of this means the fundamental purpose of existence, remains unknown.
Thank you for the video 🙌
My pleasure!
Anything perceived by five senses of human which is eyes, nose, ears, tongue, skin is in duality. Non duality is a state to go beyond, from physical to non physical. Everything exists in mind. Mind creates realities. We need to keep our mind aside and see....
You need a nervous system to be conscious.
Duality means " of two " natures ( material nature being subtle and gross ) while consciousness is of one nature ( absolute existence )
If i can literally just sit around basking in my own happiness and love and self-satisfaction then that short-circuits all of life.
That's the genius of this method. That's its power. You think this is a bug. This is not a bug. This is a feature. This is exactly what you want. You want to short circuit that because you see then it frees you up.
the existance of there being a circuit is no more than the very loop itself. 'i am' cannot end because there is no basis already to resolve.
If anyone is interested in a concise description of non-dualism experientially check out D.E. Harding’s “On having no head”. First book I’ve come across that really puts this phenomenon in simple terms
turns out that "ear ringing is shrinking my brain"
that is the ad TH-cam is pushing currently.
We are all just different perspectives of one source of consciousness
I am beginning to see Christ's greatest commandment as non-duality. Love God with absolutely everything and love others as yourself. The latter contains the former. Self love is loving Christ. As Paul puts it, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." Christianity is not the exclusivity club so many have twisted it into. It is the same love of all presented in Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, native beliefs, etc. The terms and titles we get caught up in point to universal love because God is love.
Amazing stuff!
Just because everything is composed of consciousness that doesn't mean they are not different. I can visualize a duck and horse in my mind which are both entirely made up of consciousness - but the duck is still different and separate from the horse. Duality is not a fiction. Both non-duality and duality are paradoxically real.
so what do i do with this information?
Pursue the Truth
Lmao, you can't pursue the truth without differentiation, which is required for the laws of logic which is required to be rational.
He wants you to not differentiate, to make that a thought crime.
That way you'll accept the doublethink of heads is tails, death is consciousness, freedom is slavery.
Haven't finished the video yet and maybe u address this in a bit, but I don't want to forget to ask. Could you call consciousness- God?
Great content 👍🏽
Thank you so much!
what about the duality between non duality and duality?
Good video, but how does everything being non-duality benefit me? I really don't see how this knowledge will better my way of living 😅
This video is amazing. It really explains everything. Thank you for this much valuable content! Please keep up the good work, we need more people like you on this social media platform.
Thank you for your kind words!
There are no such things as:"Ego death", "Enlightenment" or "transcending this world!" Those are just tricks of the ego(among myriad others!).You cannot escape you ego(until you body dies,that is!) but it's possible to keep it behind you, if you don't feed and acknowledge "it". Keeping it at bay, is the best that you can do, in order to have a semblemce of freedom in your pathetic life!Anything that you can come up with to defend yourself(ego!), is just another trap of your fragile and false sense of self. You boost your ego by feeding it the lies that it tells you; that "you" are thinking it. When you adopt critical thinking,aka discernment, you'll then be able to differentiate between yourself and your fals self. Until then you are a slave and living a lie, as if it were truth and perpetually spinning your wheels,getting nowhere fast!... 😒😵💫...
Advaita Vedanta (Advaita translates = Not two) Vedanta translate = End of knowing
Duality is the divided mind, which create a tug of war inside your mind. It is the source of failures, indecisions, wrong decisions, confilcts, disagreements and wars. It is what divides the being, the group and the humanity.
The demmz is showing me this and it's amazing
This is my way of demonstrating the truth of non-duality;
Evidently, there is an apparent "inside" (e.g. You), and an apparent "outside" (e.g. Not You).
Logically, the "inside" cannot possibly be "not outside" (as it is) independently of an "outside", just as the "outside" cannot possibly be "not inside" (as it is) independently of an "inside".
To hypothetically elaborate, if the "inside" were to somehow completely eliminate the "outside", the "inside" would no longer be able to BE "not outside", and so would no longer be able to BE the "inside".
Conversely, if the "outside" were to somehow completely eliminate the "inside", the "outside" would no longer be able to BE "not inside", and so would no longer be able to BE the "outside".
In this way, the very IDENTITY of the "inside" fundamentally includes the "outside" WITHIN itself, just as the very IDENTITY of the "outside" fundamentally includes the "inside" WITHIN itself.
This being the case, neither the "inside" nor the "outside" can actually be the solely self-inclusive entities that they conceptually SEEM to be, but rather, are justifiably regardable as "presently apparent features" of What Is. The same is obviously true of ALL so-called things.
Logically, there can be no reason why What Is has ANY apparent features at all, let alone THESE ones.
It just DOES.
@i hate this generation Sure there is. It's just that the two are demonstrably one. Conceptually not the same, concretely not different.
YOU get over it. 😉
@i hate this generation If the "inside" of that box were to somehow completely eliminate the "outside" of that box, in what sense would it be able to remain "not outside" (as it is), and as such, in what way would it be able to remain the "inside"?
Both concepts are utterly meaningless without their opposite. THAT is their connection, and the implicit oneness of the explicit two.
@i hate this generation In another, perhaps even more obvious sense, the box ITSELF is the connection between the inside and the outside. It can't have an outside unless it has an inside, and vice versa.
It can be validly conceptualized either as a divider OR as a connector.

I'm OK with all of this, but the death as being consciousness is where I don't find it convincing anymore.
don’t worry it’s just an illusion
It’s a different level of consciousness same as sleeping
You are one of the very few who were able to see his Monism for what it is. He wants you to not differentiate, to make that a thought crime.
That way you'll accept the doublethink of heads is tails, death is consciousness, freedom is slavery.
Interesting, but honestly I don't think concepts like these can be talked about.
I think they need to be experienced before they can be understood.
That’s exactly right!

Glad we're on the same board :3
I did magic mushrooms a few months ago and I became one with the mushroom a it is a fungus that grows and reached out it's roots to expand and absorb nutrients I felt that explained it reality was an amazing experience.
@Evolved Teacuings: How did you come to make videos like this. On Spiritual, mind subjects while majority of people make videos on entertainment. I think you have a story, please share it for us.
Maybe will do in the future :)
If only the everlasting exists, how does having an explanation for the infinite, the eternal, the everlasting, become the answer for anyone else...? What is the point of living with the gift of knowing all that can be known and leaving it unopened? Who will open the gift? Surely, there has to be a someone else, something else, some being, somewhere, to be able to open the gift, of knowing all that can be known.
Can you experience it when you already had contradicting experiences :? Like disturbing one
if you had contradicting experiences i think you might be lucky
In my opinion non-duality is too onesided. While it is true that we are not completely seperate, it would be wrong to identify with being everything. Everything is a MANIFESTATION of the same underlying substance. So it is neither seperate nor EXACTLY the same. Prefering oneness over duality is just another duality, favoring one thing over the other. If you really want to accept non-duality you gotta accept duality as being equally real. Everything exists in relation to eachother. There can be no creation without differentiation. True non-duality is also something you can not experience since there still has to be SOMETHING to experience it. Of course this is just my opinion. But I think if you really want non-duality you need to accept duality as equally real
well said. i see a lot of nondualists who deny reality and say nothing is real and nothing is happening and all pain and suffering is love and good. its absurd and escapism/ spiritual bypassing
Amazing video!
Thank you! Will do!
the observer is the observed.
The explanation is great, just the topic is not intresting, i feel like i didn't learn anything at the end, but i enjoyed watching the video till the end 🤩
"true words are often paradoxical." ~Lao Tzu
I will put my plants close to a bottle so they can undertake photosynthesis. I tried to pick up a bottle but my hand burned off because the bottle was the same as the sun in consciousness. Great tools to live by.
finally someone with a fucking brain
Finally a comment that makes sense.
Thank you! I understand it now.
good video. If there is only infinite "consciousness", who/what needs a method or practice to go where or get what? I (a person/entity) was taught to believe that I am separate from everything else but what if I somehow stop believing this? Stay tuned.............
What is the opposite of a tree? Or a ball? I can't see how every concept we have is defined by it's opposite.
The opposite of a tree or a ball is anything other than the tree or a ball. You could say the opposite of a tree is the ground or the sky. They appear different because we carve each out and separate them to describe different parts of the whole. The tree could not exist without the ground, the sun, or rain from the sky. They all depend on each other and are therefore entangled. Like bees and flowers. Where you don’t find flowers, you won’t find bees and vice versa. Although they look different, they depend on each other for their existence. The head and tail of the cat are the cat. You can’t have random cat heads popping up by themselves. Just because we single out and label these things doesn’t mean they’re actually separate. They all depend on each other because they are each other. Reality isn’t a bunch of pieces that make up a whole. It’s a whole that manifests as many parts. By believing that everything is separate, we we lost sight that everything is one.
@@foothills4x4 then why does this video give examples of duality such as up/down, man/woman etc. Going by what you said you could say up/pineapple, man/bongo are dualities also. It seems the video is trying to say a duality is an opposite pair while you're saying a duality is a thing and anything that is not that thing. These are very different concepts. Are you saying the video is wrong in how it defines duality? Just trying to understand.
