You speak, wisdom and great beauty of the meaning of life and what it is to grow and evolve thanks for your courage and strength to share pure knowledge.
Nameste Jason, Happy New Year. May you and Gayoung continue much success, health and prosperity. Thank you 🙏🏾 for what you do. I appreciate you sharing this valuable wisdom. Great video as always. Shanti!Shanti! Shanti!
We tend to live through our memories and their emotions without resolving them. We need to mentally access our higher awareness and that is who we really are. Devoid of the mental connections.
I follow my way of presenting with, 'Perhaps.. maybe'. Never stating what is, because then it becomes what isn't. We are That but claiming that makes us not that. Just my thoughts after a long road. Terminology is helpful to understand deep concepts and I'm so grateful for this terminology. Yet, to surf the wave of Now needs no concepts or terminology. Be humble, be loving and transcend the differentiation between Jiva and Brahman. Our Jiva is. Brahman is. The moments of our lives continue.
Thank you for summarizing! Happy New Year. Yes Jason, I am definitely on a mission 24x7 to realize who I really am. I don't do Netflix anymore no money night football The only thing I do is my meditation practice my praniyama practice and I listen and read knowledge-based texts from the great teachers of Vedanta. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It helps me as a novice on this path. 🙏
This life is a gift and we are learning how to reciprocate with the Giver of the gift. Our BEING is conscious and eternal (Sat) Our HAVING pertains to having perfect knowledge (Chit) With this knowledge our GIVING will become perfect (Ananda) We are conscious and eternal, therefore get perfect knowledge so that you can have perfect relationship.
Thank you for these points 🎉 Buddha said in the Diamond sutra that all these forms are still just mind...that there is no formula to follow, each must travel their journey... and that anyone who declares what is true,what is fundamental, what is ultimate -- is itself Tathāgata. As with the intelligent wisdom, which exists itself, Tathāgata is as Tathāgata does, so to speak. But sheesh, I can see why they say, those who know, don't talk., and those who talk, do not know. For the initiated, one cannot misspeak, but for the uninitiated, no amount of speak works 😂 Thanks again, this underscores needing discernment. 🙏🪷💚✨️
I appreciate the beginners mind approach you used in this video. This is essential to do so every once in a while to attract new viewers. This approach sounds similar to gnosis in gnosticism. Happy New Year to earthlings 🙏
A small clarification; in the Buddhist Prajnaparamita teachings it is clearly stated that not even consciousness can be said to exist. True reality is beyond that. If we cling to consciousness as the highest form of being then we have not (yet) transcended everything that we need to transcend in order to reach complete liberation. Tathagatagarbha (having gone beyond) means to have discarded even the slightest traces of any form of clinging to something being existent. Both concepts of ‘existent’ and ‘non-existent’ must be purified, -both of these extreme views must be clearly understood to be distorted ways of perception in order to reach complete liberation and Buddhahood. We must come to know that mere words fall short in trying to describe or clarify ultimate reality. If words alone had the power to bring us to complete realisation of true reality, how could that be called ultimate? No, since ultimate reality can only be utterly non-conceptual it can not fall under any form of division such as existent or non-existent. The studies of philosophy will not be enough for a realisation of ultimate reality because it relies on conceptual thinking. For that reason all eastern traditions relies on meditation in order to transcend the realm of conceptualisations. Words such as ‘existent’ can be useful, for a while, on the path but must be abandoned along with all other concepts such as the names we give to enlightenment, like Buddhahood, liberation, Brahma, athman, essence, etc. It is only from our position of ignorance that enlightenment seems like a goal to attain, -a state to strive for by means of effort and deliberate action. But ultimate reality is just reality of everything beyond the duality of ‘before’ and ‘after’, ‘pure’ and ‘impure’, ‘conscious’ and ‘unconscious’, etc. The path to liberation is an illusion, but a necessary illusion because we believe illusions to be real. That false system of beliefs have created causes and conditions that form our lives and present understandings. Our ignorance forces us to engage in the illusion of walking a path of purification towards a goal of no more ignorance. Reality never change, only our outlook change. Only our understanding change. Because ignorance is not our true nature it is impermanent and can be removed. Because ignorance make us view reality in a distorted fashion a path towards the removal of ignorance is needed. Ultimate reality do not need dharma or a path of practice. Ultimate reality is timeless and beyond all misconceptions. Ultimate reality has never been distorted or twisted. Ultimate reality is not something to attain or reach. Ultimate reality is lacking nothing and is omni-present throughout all totalities. Our temporary conditioning blocks us from ultimate reality but ultimate reality is always present whether we know it, or not. We have never not been ultimate reality. Shanti, shanti, shanti. 🙏🙏🙏
It’s amazing how this video popped up though I was searching for something else came to answer some of my inner questions… I wonder if you read the book of Ananda Sutram and if you make your own commentary on it?
People can say " 'I' am brahman" because in English that is the natural construction and any other wording is cumbersome. They, however, may not be referring to the highly individualized egoic self "I" but rather to an expanded sense of self that encompasses the "universe". It feels as if the universe is talking through them. There are many seeming paradoxes along the spiritual journey.
Reality/Life = That which is/That I am. Empty of ego = Full of Life. Being aware of being aware = Empty of ego. Gnosis = Self-Knowing = Delphic Oracle = Know Thyself All change for the better begins and ends (alpha and omega) at the still point of silence - simply being aware of being aware (Gnosis). We are eternal beginners because, only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity. Life functions consciously and unconsciously simultaneously. Therefore, consciousness is how something does something (adverb) - not what something is (noun). Reification is a popular logical fallacy. Matthew 6:22 - "As the eye is a lamp unto the body, so is perspective to the Mind. Therefore, if your eye (perspective on Life) be single (all-inclusive), then your whole Being will be full of Life, and the Light of Wisdom and Understanding. The Light of Wisdom and Understanding dispels the darkness of ignorance and folly. We are 'both' a drop in the ocean 'and' the ocean in a drop.
Jason, Thank you for your lessons! I wish however you would speak a little slower or pause at the end of a sentence. I speak rather good English but the combination of your accent, the sanscrit words and the speed in which you speak is just to much for me as a foreigner. Thank you Jason.

Great timing ❤ what guided you to do this specific topic? There’s a lot of strange things happening lately & this is helpful. Thank you 🙏

Can I replace the word Brahman with Shiva as the mantra?
