Tony speaks from his own reality, it both reflects sages throughout history and expresses it far more clearly than most. Basically he's either right or wrong, and if he's right (as my own enquiries tell me) we can all be there ourselves. If you can't see your body then where are you? That's clear enough for a start.
I doubt you'd say that if you met him or had a greater understanding of his viewpoint. He is genuine, happy, witty, natural and one of the most together people you could ever meet. True, his viewpoint may seem like rubbish at first (and it may also upset some people because it is a rejection of religion) but once you truly understand what he's saying, it has surprising beauty and logic. Whether you actually go on to believe it, or become 'liberated' from your notion of self, is another matter.
Hi. I also watched the video about nonduality which you commented on. I think the state of nonduality is the lowest form or realization. Why are they only one with this material world, not knowing that what we perceive is just what our senses let us perceive. There are angels, daemons, ghosts, which can also be seen and experienced. Why do they not experiences these too? I would never want to be in that state. Ego trip!
It concerns me the effect his teaching has had on many of his students - I understand where Tony is coming from in reducing the Truth to this level, he was for many years a student of Osho and he is reacting against Oshos apparent over complication of the Awakening Process and is attempting to cut to the core and straight to the experience of emptiness but the balance is lost
The confusion and perpetuation of "me" and thus slavery persists simply because words like "you" and "me" are used. If these words of Ego-Self association, be it spoken or understood are used in Advaita explanation, the "me" persists... Those who are still seeking, need to start with the simplest in this 3d reality to apparently “awaken” and “become” liberated - it is to stop using in every day conversation the words like "me", "you", "us", "they"... Try it, for it may be nearly impossible to convey meaning without using these words of Self Identification, as in this system of things everything is based on pronouns... Apparent liberation starts with language and ends with apparent liberation. It is as simple as developing a habit of relating with and to the world around without the word “I” and “me”, which the brain is using to perpetuate Ego-Self identity daily using these words (hence apparent lack of liberation). In the video, Tony suggests to the audience to “get the sense in you that there’s nothing sitting there , it’s emptines...”. How can "you" picture that there's no one sitting there? How can “you” become liberated/enlightened? Well "you" can't, because the word "you" has been uttered/thought and the brain has triggered an association with the body-personality-habits-preferences-dislikes-likes-etc.-fill in “your” name... So apparently try not using these words "me", "you", "I", "they", "us", "we" - and watch liberation start apparently to unfold... which is only apparent, as really all that is happening is seeing of “what is happening” is happening without brain associating the Ego-Self with the sound and stream of spoken word and meaning out of body-personality-likes-dislikes-preferences-fill in “your” name ... The spoken word without using the pronouns (I,me,you,they, ...) puts on an apparent feel of Truth and power, which is either being agreed to and followed by the one listening (usually a heavy approval seeking seeker with heavy association with Ego-Self). Or it is being challenged by the Ego-Self in the other (usually a "rebel-seeker" with extra heavy association with Ego-Self), by for example asking the Original speaker something like - "Are you a published author?" or "How do you know that?” or “But ...this and that” and such, thus trying to start the “survival of the fittest Ego-Self” power game. And meanwhile for the apparently liberated, all of this is just what is happening...
How gullible people are. Listening to Tony Parsons talking in riddles because he likes the sound of his own voice and has had aspirations to be a guru for years, He has copied all this stuff from Osho aka Bhagwan Rajneesh who was also a charlatan. This is a joke:)

Being alive is what is happening 🍃

This is all...........thanks to this Tony Parsons
Mind games.
Yes it is :)
He said it himself

This questioner is a good example of how language gets everything all fucked up but what can you do? :-)
reflexive-your name should be "Reactive".

you absolutely have no idea what he is talking about, mrcuteblackie, or you would not write what you wrote.
