Brilliant! I learned this 20 years ago from an amazing woman named Byron Katie I'm so satisfied to see the rest of the world experiencing it as well we are all waking up now!!!
Chuck, Hysterically funny presentation! OMG, I laughed til I cried!!!! The 'I' to 'I' bit was soooooooooo funny! Thanks for briefly explaining Ramana's method of self inquiry. I'm still laughing with this video. XXXOXOXXOXXOXOXO
But how do I get away from I? I had a NDE at age 8 or so. It was Divine! I'm 61 now, was told I would leave this body along with many others I would help lead to the Light. I look forward to the task when I'm called. But I'd like to visit that place in the meantime. I used to do this trick in High school where I tricked my mind into thinking of absolutely nothing for a split second, until a thought brought me back. But it didn't bring me anywhere. I'm frustrated. I know I am loved by a greater consciousness. I frequently dream of flying, in vivid technicolor. Fun! I just lift off. I can just float, or move really fast. But I do not often know where I am. Sometimes I sit by a window and the entire building I'm in flies. But I want more control. What do you suggest?
At about 9:30 he posts, "If it were not laughed at, it would not be the Tao." And he says, "so it's okay to laugh at it." Well ... maybe not. Maybe only fools laugh at the Tao. From Legge's translation: "Scholars of the lowest class, when they have heard about it, laugh greatly at it. If it were not (thus) laughed at, it would not be fit to be the Tao." Perhaps, ideally, it's not okay to laugh at the Tao. In the Gia-fu Feng/Jane English translation (41): "The wise student hears of the Tao and practices it diligently. The average student hears of the Tao and gives it thought now and again. The foolish student hears of the Tao and laughs aloud. If there were no laughter, the Tao would not be what it is."
For me ego is selfish motives of self aware entity, and I see awareness itself as neutral, space like 'thing'. Yet I don't see your view being wrong. This is more about what things we associate to word ego, or different direction of viewing. Excuse my English.
You nailed it. These teachers move from "telling it like it is" (which is fine), to "telling you what to do to get there" which is prescriptive and counterproductive.
he does not say choose love. He said you never left the Love. Don't miss the message. it is hard to skip by not thinking much of it. He says you never left.
I enjoyed the talk, but Do your duty, pay your mortgage. Even if you are aware that banks create money out of thin air. Well I think it's my duty to help expose the fraud, but do it in a detached way. :)
Wow - this one of the most clear presentations concerning 'ego' that I've ever come across. Thank yo, Chuck. :)
I feel such emotion when I watch this I connect to this so much! This is my truth ❤
Thank you chuck. I Think you are AMAZING. Just What the Doctor ORDERED.

+Chuck, my current understanding is that only Source can "will" anything since there is only Source.

IMO Ego is self awareness and you can't step away from it - NEVER!
For me ego is selfish motives of self aware entity, and I see awareness itself as neutral, space like 'thing'. Yet I don't see your view being wrong. This is more about what things we associate to word ego, or different direction of viewing. Excuse my English.
Right...so something that doesn't exist that doesn't have free will is going to choose to love. Where have I heard that a million times before?

That's the "thing" with ND...Puzzling!
Cheers.
bogg off
I found this to be mechanical and somewhat cold at times, but the humor was good.
what was it ... a date?
so now I completely understand why Jesus chose the cross at 33 yrs and Buddha decided to eat "bad" food (and die).
...but just in case, buy my book...
can you let go of the now?....Resistance has its place? I think so. Stand true to yourself, no? My ego needs validation. Eek.
