WOW....what is being pointed to....boundless unknowingness....falling into causeless Joy....every cell in this apparent body waking up to inherent Joy!!
siddhis come when you play with the subtle energy by some kriya practices, but it is a bondage where you can get stuck for a long time until you realize it is not better than a state without siddhis, so go beyond siddhis and mystical powers.Ramana maharishi would say "Siddhis is like child's play" how long do you want to play ? Cheers...
Hi woof, I would like to subtitle this video of yours into my language (czech) if you do not mind. Do you have any idea how to do it? How can I drag this video to make subtitles? Thanks
i see you have found the way to break down every word just like i have, which is the key to understanding that everything is an assumption by the THOUGHT
I don't believe he's condemning it. He's just saying that he thinks that no one needs any label, any group to belong to, or anything else for enlightenment/freedom/liberation. He states that getting "it" is so simple and so available. That there is no need to a progressive path or process. I get it intuitively, it resonates as truth, but where it gets hard is when the mind interferes and tries to make it understandable.
This is all very interesting but I was wondering though if there are no choices to be made and an individual really doesn't decide anything no matter how much it would appear to be so then how does that comply with morals and ethics? Doesn't this belief give you the impression that we can basically do anything we want and our out-of-the-jail card is that "I didn't decide to do this as there's no me and things just happen"?
What he spouts flies in the face of the "real deal" i.e., Nisargadatta Maharaj, who made a steadfast three year commitment to becoming liberated. Some lucky "person" in that audience could glean the message of "liberation" but it would last only until he or she gets to their car, then it goes away in a flash.
This enlightenment thing is about finding Your truth. Why discuss Tony Parsons interpretation of his truth? Teachers can help you get a bigger picture, map your lies, but ultimately You are the only authority in your search, you have to go alone. What is your experience? Tony Parsons is inside your reality that you are inquiring, so how can he be your authority? Being one with everything isn't the point, only a side effect. The point is realizing the Only truth there is in Your reality.
Haldor it generally takes years of committed practice to realize the truth. If you 'get it' intellectually and it seems to make more sense than any other philosophy/religion, then just have the 'faith' to discipline yourself on the path of sustained practice and daily meditation. One day out of nowhere when u forget about trying to get something the fish will swim into the net on its own.
Two things... In practical terms, how does 'there is no free will" work? I appreciate that the idea of a separate entity perceiving the outside world cannot, at the very least, be the whole story but still this apparently seperate being needs to make decisions many times a day.... I suspect that Advaita is a far more sublime 'state' (if you like) than can be 'got' with the mind and is better realised naturally and spontaneously.
According to Tony these concepts do not arise in consciousness - they are arising in oneness (in contraction, playing the game of being two). Oneness is playing the game (with oneness) of being separate, eg. you, your child or your mother. There is no point in imploring anyone to "drop the concepts" because there's no one there to drop anything. Liberation can only come from this ultimate magic (oneness) liberating itself from its own illusion. All there is, is this ultimate, unknowable magic.
"there’s no one sitting in this room; there is no one. there is no separate individual. all there is, is what’s happening." but what is it that's happening? tony parsons would charge me with being a seeker. but of course! that's what drives the happening. he's not answering any questions. rather, he's using self-confirming logic to explain his points. I take advaita very seriously, but I think there is indeed something flawed about his solution, and the solution of many that came before him.
I cannot avoid the thought that some followers of Advaita will tend to deny aspects of their 'small self' Why would this 'denial' matter if this self is illusory? Well I'm not at all sure it is WHOLLY illusory, that's the point. Certainly it (the 'small' or individual self) cannot be what it appears, but I have a feeling something is getting lost in translation here...
@MrSigma Pure consciousness is also a concept...."dropping concepts" is also a concept. There is nothing to do or experience. It's impossible to drop the world of concepts. Pay better attention next time! lol
Buddhist teachers I've encountered (in America anyway) never teach that there are seperate individuals trying to get something. Advaita and Buddhism are essentially the same teaching. The Buddha's teaching is grounded in non-duality. I don't see why it's necessary to condemn Buddhism.
@mygodiswithin existence is prior to conceptualization and conceptualization has no author. i claim existence but it cannot be identified because it it not an object
Miraculous and supernatural occurrences (in that sense) have nothing to do with what is being discussed... At what point did he claim to be psychic? Parsons' talks have to do with the discovery of the ordinary.
Ramification exists. so this guy's not being accurate about reality. I know that ramification exists and persists because I just typed this post and hit the "post" button and now you're reading it. And all this happened regardless of how many hits this video gets. And I debunked this guy's entire philosophy by posting this comment. That didn't take much. Not much of a philosophy.
Live your lives, and try to enjoy. Nonduality will bring you no more happiness than a football fan, or an admire of transsexuals, or any follower of a certain hobby. That is why the nondulaists try to make money from their philosophy, else they lose it all. Get "non-dual" and you will be in looney bins singing merry melodies.
What they say is that there is no you to live your life. You are being lived is the no teaching. This is "my" understanding and it's very frustrating to the mind as your post suggests.
These teachers are just making money. If they were so "non-dual" they would have performed miracle. NOT a single miracle from Tony Parsons? What a shame to Non-duality. Can he tell what colour of pants my skinny girlfriend is wearing?

Hi, thanks for the interest. I'm afraid I dont know anything about subtitling, but you are very welcome to try.
Thanks
he is so amazing..

Watch it again.

How can there be Oneness, when I do not really exist?
@MrSigma except that there is no-one who can drop the concepts...
@zyxquark agreed!

@MrSigma Your concept of Pure Consciousness is a concept.
:)
It was great to watch no one and nothingness by using an iNothing

@MrSigma can't drop the dropper

Give him credit, he's already dropped his skinny girlfriends pants, moved from the concept to pure action.
Forget all these concepts go to headless.org and be through with it!!
bzel666.must you hunt things down to deny.....because your to simple to understand?
Miraculous and supernatural occurrences (in that sense) have nothing to do with what is being discussed... At what point did he claim to be psychic? Parsons' talks have to do with the discovery of the ordinary.
I hope those people in the audience didn't pay to hear that stuff.
lol

You debunked Tony Parsons? Well congratulations! Subject-object arrogance strikes again...
