Thanks for this. I think the best one-on-one interviews (of which this is one) illuminate this message much more coherently and succinctly than the Q&A meetings.
The personal bits are appreciated. They seem like possible ways to see how this 'way of being' might manifest in the world. The simplicity of the responses seems to point to an answer.
Loved the personal bits, a real suprise was that he moved to the US again. Glad to have met him in Essen Germany, thought he triggered me on the personal level.
If “The search is over” as I said three years ago, prior to the shutdown, why am I here today? Because of simply “THIS.” Thank you two gentlemen for volunteering for “THIS.”
A great interview!!! Without the personal questions the message gets lost IMO. He avoided your question about how he fell in love with the love of his life. Clearly he wants to stay on his topic. Thank you for this Great interview
Interesting to see Jim being a bit more cautious, reserved, in parts almost intimidated, but absolutely natural and entertaining, in this interview, obviously due to the more nonchalant nature of the interview with lots of questions tapping into Jim's private life, or also maybe because Laura was present? For all these reasons I found it to be one of the most pleasurable and insightful interviews ever with him. A bit sad though (for me!) (but glad for him!) to hear he's going to leave Europe for the States. I'll miss him being around close-by among 'us here in Europe'. Met him last year in St. Gallen. Turning point in my life! I wish him all the best always! I rate the interview 10/10. The interaction between interviewer and interviewee was brilliant. Many great thanks!
@@MrDjmirk Well, anything can happen. Car accidents, or a divorce. Why not. 🙃😁. There is effectively no point to it. That's maybe precisely why he can do it. 😄
@@birdwatching_u_back nothing like non duality gossip !! I spent a few days on retreat with Rupert Spira ...his sister and mother were in the audience.....later heard they were seen in the same location on a Tony Parsons retreat ! After Jim i wonder if Rupert is the most deluded apparent I ever !
So yeah, depersonalization/derealization disorder is definitely something that (apparently lol) happens, it’s just very different from what this message is talking about. If anything, I think it has to do with a very, very strong “me” experience, just like psychotic breaks are. Everything is mediated through the ego-something psychoanalysts call “secondary narcissism”, which is integral to a psychological break from conventional reality. (That’s just a whole other can of worms, though. This message can fuel a psychotic or dissociated state, but then again, many, many things can.) If anyone reading this is going through psychological issues, don’t let this message impact your decision to get help. Jim himself explicitly says that he *doesn’t advise against therapy.* Psychological stuff has nothing to do with the message-no more or less than anything else does, that is. Anyway, lovely interview, thanks!
Idk, what he’s talking about has nothing to do with physics, really. It’s only spiritual people that want to turn physics into metaphysics. Otherwise, physics is just physics lol..there’s no mystical truth hidden in it. And Jim’s talking about neither physics nor metaphysics. And yeah, Jim’s gotten more spacey recently. Another nonduality speaker, Dawn Garland, sometimes mentions how talking about “liberation” can get trickier the more time passes, because you can sort of forget what seeking was like. Also, I think Jim’s gone through lots of changes “in the story” recently (sorry for the frustrating nondual jargon haha), and we can’t really say what’s going on psychologically. Doesn’t matter, really. A lot of his older stuff is crystal clear, though. I think he does better when he’s just left to talk freely, and his personal matters aren’t intruded upon. I was just watching this one: th-cam.com/video/0tKZtxIHVI4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4nvxbtLTL-lC276n
Dear Interviewer, I am curious if you have done internal inquiry? A lot of your questions seem as if you haven't done any inquiry into seeing there is no you. It seems like you aren't hearing that there is no one here. Once you realize there is no person inside your questions are meaningless. I did watch it because I enjoy hearing Jim's message. All your personal questions made it seem like you didn't listen to Jim at all.
The same can be said about your comment, by your logic you wouldn't be questioning anything about this interview because all of it is part of what is, and what is isn't confusing because there's no one to be confused.
@@pedestrian_0 I am simply pointing to inquiry. Until it is experienced that there is no personal self then one needs to inquire within. This isn't about logic. This is experiencing and seeing through illusion of a personal self. Most of the questions were asked of a person which Jim kept trying to point out wasn't his experience. 🙏
Did many high priced seminars and like Newman and Parsons have said ,,,,,they help for a little while The message that Newman and Parsons have shared cost nothing. Nothing is for free but not for me .
Finally the main subject is "why are Jim and Rita no more together ?" 😀 "Only this" but in love with another woman and happy to be back in America ... I feel something sad in it, probably because I'm living in Europe and still in the mess of "me, the others in an apparent world" 😉😅
First question is obviously speaking within a context of relativity. There’s an ‘apparent’ individual living a life (a body) that responds to a name, or “you”. The second question is referring to a message that is blatantly pointing beyond any contextual reference. In that regard, the individual speaking it is one with the wholeness of what’s being pointed to. One is the apparent duality that the non-dual appears as. The other isn’t pretending to be anything else. There’s some clarity, maybe.
I am not surprised that Jim left Europe, been there last year, and it seems more divided then the US, lots of people I talked to want their country to leave the Union, the western countries became too liberal, lots of bureaucracy and red tape. Corruption became rampant, especially in the former eastern block. And with the uncertainty with Russia, it’s not a desirable place to live.
Jim"s Massage is absolutely right and to the point, However his massage is one of the Buddist Versions, unfortunately he doesnt mention about it orgin there are 3 Sutras in buddist call ( Annata Lakkana, Diamond and Wimalakeerthi sutras which tell the same massage ).
33:15 If me is no longer there then whatever is there how would it know if anything is happening? Exactly that’s the point but things still seems to be happening and no one knows them hence nothing is happening. Does not it confirms that there still exist a no one who still knows even though it knows nothing? Does anybody gets it? Or…No one gets not.
I wouldn’t say that it’s not happening because no one knows it, it’s not happening, because it’s nothing appearing as everything that there is ( objects, sounds, sensational, thoughts ), but yes there is no one who knows that, the knower is the sense of ME, but that’s not why it’s “not happening “. Nothing being everything is a good description of this, or unknowing ISness.
The "one" in "no one", refers to the ego self. I believe🤭 What knows that theres nothing happening and theres no one? THAT...is The Self ( capital S) = The absolute = Bruhmmun = Shiva = Yahweh..etc
The way he laughs at the depersonalization comment seems kind of...uh...depersonalized. I mean at least he should address it seriously as it is a common accusation against his message.
So for the apparent Jime life goes on as usual, as usual for all of us I guess, there is not a gym live in his life and it’s not his life neither…. so there is only life apparently happening for an apartment Someone

25 thousand viewers all clueless of what is being shared including the interviewer. He is the most clueless! & that is unconditionally what is happening!
Nah have listened to many of these non duality people.. In my mind...this is not the solution for everybody, it's too simple and this talk about what is... is not for everybody. Yep worked for them , great...but for everyone else it doesn't
His message is incompleet ...The person, the " I " do not exists , only the Absolute existence exists and you (everybody ) are That. Everything exists only mental, not phisical and is made , concieved by consciousness but the "One" who see all that is you like The Absolute not like a person ...The Absolute is awarness . The person do not see, the Absolute see through the person ...The body and the mind are only tools to experience "life" , are your tools , you beeing the Absolute.Sorry for my English is not my native language...Everything can be understood reading the books from the author Terence Gray ,he signs his books with the pseudonim Wei Wu Wei...Books : The Open Secret, The 10 th man and 3--4 more. I found them in Amazon...
Nobody wants to say or hear the words ... "I Don't Know." These 3 simple, boring words have no 'true' value within the existential marketplace. The seeker and speaker seem to place high value on good storytelling and providing radical answers to simple questions. But of course, that's still (and always) just a guess. I don't know SHIT!
Oh no. I can't believe that he hasn't answered this, it must be because it is a question that could only come from such a lofty position no one has had the wisdom to bring it up previously.
@@FoxDaCosta there's mistake, cause the "pain appears" is a dual action. If there's only pain, there is no pain, cause he cannot perceive himself. When you say pain is appearing, you are unconciously intended the feeling of pain. Its dual. A distort sense of self can lead to think there's only pain. It can be an initial stadium of dissociative disorder. Be careful with non duality
@@riccardololo3494 I don't know if it's the language barrier or a logic problem (i suspect both) but your reply made very little sense. 'cause the "pain appears" is a dual action. ' Pain arises (as what is happening) is not dual unless there is a one is thinking in time. The memory 'of when pain wasn't ' and the present of 'when pain is' would be dual. 'if there is only pain there is no pain cause he cannot perceive himself' Non sequitur. If there is only black there is no black - certainly, but not because you cannot perceive yourself. Non duality implies there is no self TO perceive the self, not that there is a person who cannot perceive himself. Jim makes this very clear in many videos. 'A distort of self can lead to think there is only pain' - begging the question and a non sequitur , I would not know where to begin to decipher this. 'It can be an initial stadium of dissociative disorder. Be careful with non duality.' Dissasociative disorder - I suspect you mean this (from the wiki) -' Depersonalization-derealization disorder: periods of detachment from self or surrounding which may be experienced as "unreal" (lacking in control of or "outside" self) while retaining awareness that this is only a feeling and not a reality.' Yes. I agree that one needs to be careful with THIS. Feeling things are unreal however is *not* the same as 'real and unreal' which is a statement one cannot pin down whatsoever unlike the former. The last line ' while retaining awareness that this is only a feeling and not a reality.' would mark the distinction between a self feeling there is no self and the reality of there being no self.
Jim looks so BORED, TIRED, TURNED OFF & even a little ANGRY with this silly, pathetic, irritating & JUVENILLE "interview" that is more like a mindless speech & opinion fest from Patric, than anything meaningful, yet Jim still manages to slip in a few nondual GEMS next to or under Patrick's CHILDISH PRATTLE! For me, it's an interesting example of a liberated person (Jim) struggling to make SMALL TALK with a LOST person (Patric), so there's still some value in this silly, personal mind game that Patrick loves to play. I learned a LOT from Jim, but nothing at all from poor Patric! So be it....😂😅🎉
I never resonated with Jim. Somethings off with his energy. It's like he's just 'studied' Tony Parsons enough to recite him clearly. There's an authenticity about Tony that Jim doesn't have.
Really? It's circituitous tosh from both of them. I find both Matt Garrett and Occult Theo (in different ways) fresher . "This is happening" - I could have told you that
@@ordinaryguy815 thank you for that, will have a look. I would suggest checking out bentinho Massarro and Aaron Abke as they both offer models that provide for horizontal integration which I find absent in the non-duality brigade. Also Frank Yang - his videos are just mad. Be well
Is it just me or is my intuition correct in noticing a distinct defensiveness in Newmans disposition? He is making a conscious effort to speak softly. Why? Are we supposed to believe that he isn't feeling tension? The more he invests in calmness the more obvious are the undercurrents of his self-concern. I have been in the presence of people who don't need to argue their point of view. They have genuinely surrendered to what is. They exude peace and inspire confidence without saying a word. This fad of radical non-duality is likely to be short-lived. The advocates are simply unconvincing energetically. They are bitter and resentful that divine revelation has been denied them. So they take this "apparent" short cut. It reeks of ego. No wonder they've been suspended.
I think the point is unconditionality. So it seems like you’re imposing conditions of ‘what it has to look like’ or else it’s not authentic, which is perpetuating the overlooking of the main point. Ok, so those judgements about Jim are there, and that’s what is hahaha. It’s the Absolute just as equally appearing as that. There’s no exclusivity to what he’s talking about. If you’re excluding ‘this’ from ‘that’ as something divine or not divine, it seems like you’re talking about something entirely different than this. And funnily, that’s the Absolute appearing as THAT too haha. So there’s no real difference to grab hold of.
@@the-absolute-light Jim is excluding himself. Divinity isn't a new fad. If Jim wants to short circuit reality then maybe he should short circuit himself as an authentic demonstration of his unwillingness to participate.
@@davidstrevens9170I don’t see it that way. That body named Jim is also the wholeness of what is. It’s just that there already isn’t an exclusively existing agent that possesses and controls that body. There’s no one ‘behind’ it to exclude in the first place. And it’s actually already like that over there too. I’m not sure what you mean by divinity really. To me, either everything is divine or nothing is. Any distinction of ‘this but not that’ or ‘that but not this’ is a delusion. Which is fine, that’s just the Absolute appearing as another delusion. Your response seems like it might be refusing to accept that this revelation is truly unconditional, meaning it doesn’t necessarily have to look like someone is glowing gold and happy-go-lucky 24/7. Sorry but the Absolute is appearing as literally everything, not just all the positive stuff you want to cling onto. Recognizing it does not instantly erase any past psychological conditioning which might unfold as being more stern or apathetic. And people that may have recognized it, yet naturally present that way, recognize that it’s that too! So there’s no ‘need’ to force themselves to present as the stereotype of a Buddha. It’s only someone’s conditioned projection that it ‘must’ look that way. Have you asked yourself how attached to your conditioned preferences and preconceived notions you are?
@@the-absolute-light Yes. I agree with the theory of radical non-duality. I don't agree that Jim is presenting as an example of the unconditioned. He is presenting as having had an intellectual realisation of the unconditioned. He is yet to embody that realisation through his heart. Limitations are an aspect of human experience in order for graduation. We gradually accept the nature of reality Just because I am willing to acknowledge those limitations doesn't mean I am the architect of them. The mind may want to bypass the heart. There's a difference between the minds desire to know and the knowing itself. Jim is a victim of wanting to know. If there is any confusion regarding this then pay attention to his behaviour before he had the intellectual realisation. He was possessed by self-pity. Radical non-duality is his pacifier.
🖖🥴 a fraud? Yes unfortunately he is and very imperfect too I'm afraid he doesn't walk his talk allmost a touch of narcissus as the real motives bleed through his motives I suspect are actually quite selfish ,he doesn't see anything wrong with game play the very antithesis of being genuine he tweaks the same message of TP his mentor more magician than mystic intellectually correct but in person he is preaching what he does NOT live and that is dangerous for others ie misleads them 😉
What do you mean by imperfection ?The fact that he doesn't see anything wrong doesn't mean he doesn't have preferences .And what is he preaching that he does not live ?
@@hermansohier7643 It is very subtle But his message isn't like Nisagadattas in fact he is allmost blaze ,so when he started out I tried to email him ,then out of the blue he rang ,I was so excited and so full of joy ,love surprise . What followed was a rather hostile rigid defensive at times allmost offensive monologue from Jim ,as if he had to belittle me prove me somehow ,later I xhecked whag he was saying against ancient texts and my own experience ,they or it doesn't tally there is something not right ,if was to try to put my finger on it I'd say a kind of narcissistic personality with a kind of I'm right etc atitude, he is not being honest etc in the same way I think TP is playing a kind of game ,intellectually it sounds OK but the person and what they are saying somehow don't tally .
@@richardprice9730 Oh but i agree but you have to listen to them until you see thru them ,then they're finished but you keep them alive .That's the test he is talking about i quess .He and TP have a triggerpoint ,the moment i saw this they vanished .When i hear people talking about this i know exactly if they listend to Jim or Tony because there's no authenticity ,just parrots repeating empty words .The teacher or non-teacher has to disappear ,when they disappear you will disappear
@@hermansohier7643 no you still haven't seen it ,he or a child like in control part of himself believes he is enlightened or sees it, knows etc ,it's a self denial - delusion, a form of narcissistic specialness ,to cover up a whole host of other probably self critical, inferior inner voices etc if you watch his videos ,his laugh his small world stuff you'll see ,like yet he claims to be free, TP has made a name and lot of money and a cult following from intellectual cleverness, like a priest who pretends he's a Saint or a Saint who declares I'm one etc its all the same sham or game 🎮
@@hermansohier7643 we live in the age of narcissistic cleverness it is in the air like neurosis such people demand attention love to be central to everything ,convince others etc look at me the message is often the presentation may even be the ultimate there isnt a me ,or I'm not just when it's conscious and in awareness and owned up to then it can be dealt with its a cultish age
I Love this Statement on Jim's Website: THERE IS NOTHING TO FIND BECAUSE NOTHING IS LOST, THE ULTIMATE EMBRACE IS ALL THERE IS

Great interview..to make it personel, I thought Jim’s wife is called Rita.. now he changed to Laura?
Yeah, I wondered that 👀 Apparent juicy gossip haha
Non duality gossip hah
well if there is no one or any control in life its just what happend
@@zanna660 have fun saying that to a partner/ex partner 😂
@@evedotcom lol no ! 😄 the first rule of nonduality , dont talk about nonduality 🤐
The way he laughs at the depersonalization comment seems kind of...uh...depersonalized. I mean at least he should address it seriously as it is a common accusation against his message.
How much do I need to pay jim Newman to say this is it for an hour??
his silly questions are not so silly actually..actually

Well, only perhaps.
So for the apparent Jime life goes on as usual, as usual for all of us I guess, there is not a gym live in his life and it’s not his life neither…. so there is only life apparently happening for an apartment Someone
How can there be a her , when there is know one ?

Who cares about apparent Advaita Police 😂
Nah have listened to many of these non duality people.. In my mind...this is not the solution for everybody, it's too simple and this talk about what is... is not for everybody. Yep worked for them , great...but for everyone else it doesn't
If there's no one how could it worked for them ?You still think this is personal but it's not .And what do you mean by ; My mind ?;
His message is incompleet ...The person, the " I " do not exists , only the Absolute existence exists and you (everybody ) are That. Everything exists only mental, not phisical and is made , concieved by consciousness but the "One" who see all that is you like The Absolute not like a person ...The Absolute is awarness . The person do not see, the Absolute see through the person ...The body and the mind are only tools to experience "life" , are your tools , you beeing the Absolute.Sorry for my English is not my native language...Everything can be understood reading the books from the author Terence Gray ,he signs his books with the pseudonim Wei Wu Wei...Books : The Open Secret, The 10 th man and 3--4 more. I found them in Amazon...
His message is not incomplete, he's simply saying your comment is part of what is, and that's it. Only what is is what's real and that's it.
He was specifically asked this exact question multiple times (about consciousness). His message is not about any of what you are talking about.
His message is misleading at least, I would say, presenting this as liberation, or unconditional love is very misleading.
Rude interviewer..
Nobody wants to say or hear the words ... "I Don't Know." These 3 simple, boring words have no 'true' value within the existential marketplace. The seeker and speaker seem to place high value on good storytelling and providing radical answers to simple questions. But of course, that's still (and always) just a guess. I don't know SHIT!
Meh
You can say all this things whatever you want, but when you receive a punch believe me that you are real
Oh no. I can't believe that he hasn't answered this, it must be because it is a question that could only come from such a lofty position no one has had the wisdom to bring it up previously.
@@wavesfromthedarksea i dont understand your point
Not necessary because there's no one to revive a punch.
The punch appears, the sensation/pain appears and life moves on.
@@FoxDaCosta there's mistake, cause the "pain appears" is a dual action. If there's only pain, there is no pain, cause he cannot perceive himself. When you say pain is appearing, you are unconciously intended the feeling of pain. Its dual. A distort sense of self can lead to think there's only pain. It can be an initial stadium of dissociative disorder. Be careful with non duality
@@riccardololo3494
I don't know if it's the language barrier or a logic problem (i suspect both) but your reply made very little sense.
'cause the "pain appears" is a dual action. '
Pain arises (as what is happening) is not dual unless there is a one is thinking in time. The memory 'of when pain wasn't ' and the present of 'when pain is' would be dual.
'if there is only pain there is no pain cause he cannot perceive himself'
Non sequitur. If there is only black there is no black - certainly, but not because you cannot perceive yourself.
Non duality implies there is no self TO perceive the self, not that there is a person who cannot perceive himself. Jim makes this very clear in many videos.
'A distort of self can lead to think there is only pain' - begging the question and a non sequitur , I would not know where to begin to decipher this.
'It can be an initial stadium of dissociative disorder. Be careful with non duality.'
Dissasociative disorder - I suspect you mean this (from the wiki) -' Depersonalization-derealization disorder: periods of detachment from self or surrounding which may be experienced as "unreal" (lacking in control of or "outside" self) while retaining awareness that this is only a feeling and not a reality.'
Yes. I agree that one needs to be careful with THIS.
Feeling things are unreal however is *not* the same as 'real and unreal' which is a statement one cannot pin down whatsoever unlike the former.
The last line ' while retaining awareness that this is only a feeling and not a reality.' would mark the distinction between a self feeling there is no self and the reality of there being no self.
Jim looks so BORED, TIRED, TURNED OFF & even a little ANGRY with this silly, pathetic, irritating & JUVENILLE "interview" that is more like a mindless speech & opinion fest from Patric, than anything meaningful, yet Jim still manages to slip in a few nondual GEMS next to or under Patrick's CHILDISH PRATTLE! For me, it's an interesting example of a liberated person (Jim) struggling to make SMALL TALK with a LOST person (Patric), so there's still some value in this silly, personal mind game that Patrick loves to play. I learned a LOT from Jim, but nothing at all from poor Patric!
So be it....😂😅🎉
you REALLY like using CAPS to emphasize a POINT don't you
I never resonated with Jim. Somethings off with his energy. It's like he's just 'studied' Tony Parsons enough to recite him clearly. There's an authenticity about Tony that Jim doesn't have.
Really? It's circituitous tosh from both of them. I find both Matt Garrett and Occult Theo (in different ways) fresher . "This is happening" - I could have told you that
@@jaysilverstone7221 Haven't heard of the ones you mentioned. My main teacher is Francis Lucille
@@ordinaryguy815 thank you for that, will have a look. I would suggest checking out bentinho Massarro and Aaron Abke as they both offer models that provide for horizontal integration which I find absent in the non-duality brigade. Also Frank Yang - his videos are just mad. Be well
@@jaysilverstone7221 Matt and Theo are both teachers speaking to the me, Jim is not
@@ordinaryguy815 Jim is not a teacher and this is not a teacheing
Is it just me or is my intuition correct in noticing a distinct defensiveness in Newmans disposition?
He is making a conscious effort to speak softly.
Why?
Are we supposed to believe that he isn't feeling tension?
The more he invests in calmness the more obvious are the undercurrents of his self-concern.
I have been in the presence of people who don't need to argue their point of view.
They have genuinely surrendered to what is.
They exude peace and inspire confidence without saying a word.
This fad of radical non-duality is likely to be short-lived.
The advocates are simply unconvincing energetically.
They are bitter and resentful that divine revelation has been denied them.
So they take this "apparent" short cut.
It reeks of ego.
No wonder they've been suspended.
I think the point is unconditionality. So it seems like you’re imposing conditions of ‘what it has to look like’ or else it’s not authentic, which is perpetuating the overlooking of the main point. Ok, so those judgements about Jim are there, and that’s what is hahaha. It’s the Absolute just as equally appearing as that. There’s no exclusivity to what he’s talking about. If you’re excluding ‘this’ from ‘that’ as something divine or not divine, it seems like you’re talking about something entirely different than this. And funnily, that’s the Absolute appearing as THAT too haha. So there’s no real difference to grab hold of.
@@the-absolute-light
Intellectual masturbation.
@@the-absolute-light
Jim is excluding himself.
Divinity isn't a new fad.
If Jim wants to short circuit reality then maybe he should short circuit himself as an authentic demonstration of his unwillingness to participate.
@@davidstrevens9170I don’t see it that way. That body named Jim is also the wholeness of what is. It’s just that there already isn’t an exclusively existing agent that possesses and controls that body. There’s no one ‘behind’ it to exclude in the first place. And it’s actually already like that over there too. I’m not sure what you mean by divinity really. To me, either everything is divine or nothing is. Any distinction of ‘this but not that’ or ‘that but not this’ is a delusion. Which is fine, that’s just the Absolute appearing as another delusion.
Your response seems like it might be refusing to accept that this revelation is truly unconditional, meaning it doesn’t necessarily have to look like someone is glowing gold and happy-go-lucky 24/7. Sorry but the Absolute is appearing as literally everything, not just all the positive stuff you want to cling onto. Recognizing it does not instantly erase any past psychological conditioning which might unfold as being more stern or apathetic. And people that may have recognized it, yet naturally present that way, recognize that it’s that too! So there’s no ‘need’ to force themselves to present as the stereotype of a Buddha. It’s only someone’s conditioned projection that it ‘must’ look that way. Have you asked yourself how attached to your conditioned preferences and preconceived notions you are?
@@the-absolute-light
Yes.
I agree with the theory of radical non-duality.
I don't agree that Jim is presenting as an example of the unconditioned.
He is presenting as having had an intellectual realisation of the unconditioned.
He is yet to embody that realisation through his heart.
Limitations are an aspect of human experience in order for graduation.
We gradually accept the nature of reality
Just because I am willing to acknowledge those limitations doesn't mean I am the architect of them.
The mind may want to bypass the heart.
There's a difference between the minds desire to know and the knowing itself.
Jim is a victim of wanting to know.
If there is any confusion regarding this then pay attention to his behaviour before he had the intellectual realisation.
He was possessed by self-pity.
Radical non-duality is his pacifier.
🖖🥴 a fraud?
Yes unfortunately he is and very imperfect too I'm afraid he doesn't walk his talk allmost a touch of narcissus as the real motives bleed through his motives I suspect are actually quite selfish ,he doesn't see anything wrong with game play the very antithesis of being genuine he tweaks the same message of TP his mentor more magician than mystic intellectually correct but in person he is preaching what he does NOT live and that is dangerous for others ie misleads them 😉
What do you mean by imperfection ?The fact that he doesn't see anything wrong doesn't mean he doesn't have preferences .And what is he preaching that he does not live ?
@@hermansohier7643 It is very subtle But his message isn't like Nisagadattas in fact he is allmost blaze ,so when he started out I tried to email him ,then out of the blue he rang ,I was so excited and so full of joy ,love surprise . What followed was a rather hostile rigid defensive at times allmost offensive monologue from Jim ,as if he had to belittle me prove me somehow ,later I xhecked whag he was saying against ancient texts and my own experience ,they or it doesn't tally there is something not right ,if was to try to put my finger on it I'd say a kind of narcissistic personality with a kind of I'm right etc atitude, he is not being honest etc in the same way I think TP is playing a kind of game ,intellectually it sounds OK but the person and what they are saying somehow don't tally .
@@richardprice9730 Oh but i agree but you have to listen to them until you see thru them ,then they're finished but you keep them alive .That's the test he is talking about i quess .He and TP have a triggerpoint ,the moment i saw this they vanished .When i hear people talking about this i know exactly if they listend to Jim or Tony because there's no authenticity ,just parrots repeating empty words .The teacher or non-teacher has to disappear ,when they disappear you will disappear
@@hermansohier7643 no you still haven't seen it ,he or a child like in control part of himself believes he is enlightened or sees it, knows etc ,it's a self denial - delusion, a form of narcissistic specialness ,to cover up a whole host of other probably self critical, inferior inner voices etc if you watch his videos ,his laugh his small world stuff you'll see ,like yet he claims to be free, TP has made a name and lot of money and a cult following from intellectual cleverness, like a priest who pretends he's a Saint or a Saint who declares I'm one etc its all the same sham or game 🎮
@@hermansohier7643 we live in the age of narcissistic cleverness it is in the air like neurosis such people demand attention love to be central to everything ,convince others etc look at me the message is often the presentation may even be the ultimate there isnt a me ,or I'm not just when it's conscious and in awareness and owned up to then it can be dealt with its a cultish age
This is atheist BS
Actually no.
He is atheist for sure, he denies the existence of god.
nope
That's just another believe .
Yeah, Jim should totally watch True detective season 1 haha.🫂 49:23
