Very good explanation on non-duality! Interface is a good concept to corelate. I agree with you..people can easily fall as prey if they don't understand subtle meaning of non-duality or their illusory nature after initial awakening. This video helps! Thanks!
Thank you for your daily posts...through my continuing awaking process I have lessened thoughts,see things simply in the now and worry less..daily isness instead of that urgency and and anxiety created by the interface...only sticky area is physical suffering...nerve pain specifically...I know that "I am" not the pain...the area where the pain is feels like it's own entity...I am try not to give it labels and thoughts attached...the feeling sensation imagining nerve and tissues softening is helpful
Perfectly said!!!! Totally resonates with me! You can even add "conditioned" here too. We were conditioned since we were toddlers. Our minds were programmed just like computers are programmed to function according to its input (code). Now we can go to the next chapter: how to be free from suffering? (the hint was mentioned in the above video). Thank you for the excellent video.
Hello. The video is very profound. QUESTION (a): What do you recommend to an unawakened highly intelligent, knowledgeable non-duality student/person whose suffering or struggling (pushing, pulling, resisting) gets worse? Especially when the unawakened person already realizes that "everything is a projection of the mind" (past thoughts, experiences, beliefs, etc). Also knows that when suffering occurs, more desires arise to "fix" or "escape from" the problems. The more attempts to find solutions to fix the problem, the worse it gets. There is a conflict: giving up/letting go (but continue to meditate, read or watch non-duality stuff) or go back and keep finding worldly solutions. QUESTION (b): Do the "projections of the mind" past thoughts, beliefs, etc. (especially dealing with suffering/struggling) stop or continue after authentic awakening? The question is posed for a second person's perspective who knows nothing about non-duality. Thank you. [EDIT] After posting the above questions, I continued to watch the above video about half way. You essentially answered the questions. However, towards the end of video (after awakening, the problem is dissolved), you are speaking from a one person's perspective (for example, an awakened person), which is easy to understand and practiced. What about from the second person's perspective (for example, spouse, children, friends)?
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Hello. Thank you for the reply. Indeed, I am aware of the ego-self is adamant or stubborn of being the ego-self. Just feel like unzipping, removing the movie character and walking off the stage in front of the crowd. I read your book 2x. I will read it again, but in pertinent sections relating to your suggested "direct approach." I am aware of a slight shift in perception in seeing things as they are without adding or subtracting. Very, very subtle. I understand that. Then, I am also aware of something else. Something to do with what is happening there as opposed to here. I understand there is no here and there, inside and outside, etc. So as your book suggested, I asked "what is it that I am expecting from seeing there." If there is another section of your book that I should read, please let me know. Thank you. What is "Mu?" Are you referring to the book called The Gateless Barrier? Thank you.
@@Robert-yi8hh mu is a focus point for a one pointed approach. You pour all of your query, desire to know truth, desire to know your unborn nature and nothing else into it. Just mu! You can start by asking what is mu? But at sone point you just merge with it, Just mu! No one apart from it contemplating it. Carry it with at all talkies u til it is just mu carrying mu.
If you read the sections in three pillars of zen on dokusan (I think it’s called private interviews with a zen master) you’ll get more of the flavor . I think it’s a very good approach
When you say “space and time do not exist”, is this a belief about the nature of reality or is it just a description of experience? It sounds like the former, in which case my question is this: Can a knowledge of universal reality really be revealed by personal experiences? Isn’t there a gulf between those two things that can’t be crossed?
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Oh ok. So when you say “we don’t start believing in space and time again” (near the end), does that just mean we don’t start believing that we experience it again? Is all of this stuff less about perceiving reality as it actually is and more about perceiving it as we actually experience it?
I recommend embracing the emotion, feeling into it. What is it rooted in? What do we mistrust ourselves? Why do we mistrust life? What makes us feel separate and isolated?
@@KK-qd6ro well fundamentally I think it’s because we have a misperception of separation, discreetness, permanence etc. then that grows into pervasive identity structures (in thought).
@@SimplyAlwaysAwake Sorry yes just had a wee reaction.Trying to stay with the emotion stuff. It's not humans it's the whole idea of humaness. It's a pervasive idea, and so much conscience effort went into it here, trying to be a good human! I have trouble trusting. And now seeing pardox everywhere, it's like i'm a fish out off water and i've forgotten how to swim!! if i stay out i'll die, but if I get in i'll drown! This shit is painfully funny. Thanks for you patience.

😃 thanks for watching. 🌊
Thank you, Angelo! This video feels like a "little" gold mine 💛
"The harder we struggle the deeper we sink." Bumping into this awareness helps me to let go of struggling.
The harder we struggle the harder we struggle.

Welcome 😊
This perfectly describes my experience and I'm sure that of billions of other beings. So dense with truth and yet so simple so clear.
:)
My favorite so far. After 6 years immersed in nonduality, this clearly reflects a continuing experience as an object among objects.

If you've never had an awakening I would recommend one pointed approach for sure. My book describes it. Mu is a perfect example.

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake I have not purchased/read the Three Pillars of Zen. Thank you for the suggestion.
Everyone experiences pain, at times.
Suffering is thinking about pain!
Ego = Thought = Duality = Maya...

Direct experience only, non-conceptual

Wondering about the "shame" experienced through illness. Gotta pretend everything's okay ..
Like a failure as a human being or something? 🤔
