I worked as a commercial actor. It dried up a bit after Covid. I felt so hurt for a long time wanting my career in acting to take off and self help made it worse. Non duality and loving what is has saved me. I’m fine now.
The timeline of our journey is very similar. It was 2 or 3 years ago that I had an awakening and then learned about non-duality. The point I'm at now is there's nothing to search for, and no result that must be met. Life, the universe, etc, is all one big dance and I'm merely dancing along to the beat. However, even that is a concept, and I can't truly say that "I" know anything at all. The juxtapositions of this experience are so interesting.
That sounds incredibly liberating experience - are you finding greater ease in life for you recognise that you are not 'living' it? It's hard to put words on the wordless - your conceptual idea resonates deeply - and I understand what you mean. It's ok to label these things, that's what this world is - as long, of course, as there is no attachment. 🧡✨
@@flowingthru6793 I’ve noticed that there’s a lot less suffering in general. I tend not to get upset with circumstance and it’s much easier to go with the flow. I’ve found I go through phases where I feel more in tune or “awake,” if that makes sense. I’ll also go through phases where it’s like I almost “forget.” I do but it can feel that way at times. Overall I’d say it’s liberating, but not always. How about yourself?
For over a decade I contemplated surrender and whether I could make the decision to whole-heartedly do it. I got stuck on the question, the decision part for years and years - not realising I was asking myself an unanswerable question, engaged in an ego loop. Thinking there would be one act of pure, complete surrender. Thank you for sharing your experience. It is helping me a lot ❤🙏
❤❤🙏🙏❤❤ thank you so much, gratitude❤❤ and you know what, you're like an actress in a theater making a such wonderful, beautifull monologue ( i'm french☺️) love that 😍, love love love thank you❤❤❤
Self Awakening = I am not this mind body. Often a sudden recognition. Self Realization = I am limitless awareness. All is One. Ego takes up residence in the “I am peace, love, and bliss itself.” Attachment to emptiness remains. Ongoing work (often years) of dissolving desire and aversion. Enlightenment = I am neither unified nor dualistic. Absence of all attachments, never again to be drawn in to the eddies of ego/separation. The final destination. The greatest misunderstanding of the path is that self awakening is the end. It is (for most) merely the beginning. From there, one must stabilize by eliminating residual ego attachments, residual separation-the back and forth that brings us back to ignorance, back to suffering, and back to bliss. Here, a cup of tea is a cup of tea. A mountain is a mountain. “Just like this” ordinary mind. This is a beautiful video that reminds seekers to see potential and a path by beyond self awakening. ❤
Your vulnerability and thoughtfulness is captivating. As an actor to another, perhaps the theater/acting world will continue to call you. The industry sure could use more of your energy. ♥️
Thank you so much - that's very kind to say - I'm sure there is a way of connecting the two - it will arise in some way! Its wonderful to have others from the industry here 🧡
The non dual auditorium here applauds you’re extension. I can only speak from the light of this one but in loosening the mind from the need to be or to have spirit speaks & the way is shown. Completion is really just the beginning because in holding the memory of heaven we offer a bridge to our brothers and sisters to remember the one. In helping others we help ourselves in serving others we serve ourselves as we create the good the beautiful & the holy. Let this life be a living blessing to all those who wonder & thirst for the light has come and with it a new journey has just begun. Thanks for sharing your light.

so many goosebumps through this one.. "here to be a conduit for the universe" and just doing what the universe wants you to do. tears have been shed. cheers for sharing your journey :)
Loved this video. I don't think you can necessarily "fix" any relationship/friendship yourself by getting out a spreadsheet. But you can observe problematic dynamics without egoic involvement and clearly see if there is a projection going on. If there is, then you can fix it yourself. But if the other person is continually projecting their ego onto you it's nothing you can fix yourself. Of course you can stay indifferent to it, it's obviously true that in an "enlightened" state, nothing causes you unhappiness. But I'd still prefer relationships/friendships where both parties are aware of their egos, communicate and share their happiness/being.
Yes this sounds like a wonderful concept of friendship/relationship - one with openness and awareness. And there is nothing wrong with that. Preferences are fine in the illusion. As long as when someone projects onto you you are at peace and see only love then there is no more 'work' to be done 🧡✨🙏
All our decisions come from our beliefs and memories in store-consciousness. But not all are good fruitful. Why? Because some important things are related to past lives. 🙏🌹🙏
There is no 'my' there is no you. Life is just it, it is the universe playing 8 billion particles all at once. I think what you're referring to is the contraction of energy that emerges and how it sees itself as a separate self, hence 'my life' Therefore, 'my life is not what I wanted' is an illusion, you're eluding to a separate life whether it is or isn't what you wanted. Life just is, the one-ness/is-ness, is just that. It is what it is.
@@nocapnobs7845 , Here is 'my' and 'you' in this universe because we have a body, mind and universe. But there is no 'my' and no 'you' beyond body, mind and universe. There is only you in immortal form without shaped. 🙏🌹🙏
Wow. Great clarity and honesty. Very nice. 😊 If you feel inspired, I would love for you to do a video about the power of deep loving clear self honesty combined with divine endless self forgiveness. 😊❤😊❤
No there is no free will - just a perceived sense of free will. Life unfolds and we ride with it. All resistance to that is the false perception of a separate self that believes it knows best. But that's all false :)
if that's what feels right to you right now then yes. Follow doing nothing to the extreme, embrace it fully and surrender into it. When fear arises look at it, explore it, and see any limiting beliefs underneath. See who it is that wants to do nothing - where is that person? Where is that trigger? Is it actually that you feel you are not good enough to receive? Undo that! Why are your collection of cells any less worthy than anothers!? Sometimes by just experiencing it and letting it run it's course you will heal it x
I see what you're saying. By this I meant letting go of ego identity and thought by just not associating yourself with them. And instead observe from awareness. Awareness is the conscious universal energy from which everything arises, from which your true nature is. Not the body/ego. But the awareness of all events occurring in your 'life' - that's where you should be. Of course in the early days of this journey you need to use your ego to access this point - to go within. Which is difficult that's why the A Course In Miracles is a great course in helping achieve this - I hope this explanation helps - let me know if you would like any further clarification 🧡✨
Is desire the cause of suffering or is punishment from dark karma the cause of suffering? Is the 2nd noble truth correct, or is the Law of Karma correct? "Picks one, rejects the other." -Lao Tzu
Both are correct. How way first is correct? (1) is desire the reason of unhappiness? Yes, how? If I believe I have a body and I am not body, when my all desires will be stopped, I will have no need to body. According to my assumption which was by me that " I am not body, I have a body " means I am permanent without body ( my experience is to be permanent if I have a body or I have even not a body.). And unbreakable enjoyment is in there. I am immortal and only one. There is nothing visible world in there. I am only in my awareness timeless. Therefore, the desire is the reason of unhappiness. 🙏🌹🙏
Is the punishment of dark karma the cause of suffering? Yes, the punishment of dark karma is the cause of suffering. First we must understand what is temporary happiness and what is permanent happiness? Temporary happiness means whenever we have a body, we need money, we need good health, we need a good wife or husband, we need good children, and everything else that can bring happiness for the body. All this happiness as long as we have the body. This is temporary happiness but it is very necessary as long as we remain in the body. Another key point, according to the theory of karma, is that " Good karma produce good results and bad karma give bad results. So we must do good karmas for good results. 🙏🌹🙏 likewise the second is also true.
You say it's beautiful yet there is the unconscious showing all that deep sadness. I could say some things on importance but not here on youtube, what i can add is seekers seek, finders find
@@flowingthru6793 if you wish to learn (or maybe learn you rather not learn) what the issue is with all the sentences, i can dm you on insta and discuss. Of course i wouldn't without your consent :). 🌞
Hi Flo 👋 One interesting thing I find about actors and actresses is that they just do have to be comfortable with multiple identities. They try to really become a different character than they are in real life. As such, they can hold their own identities loosely which might allow them to manifest their inner, possibly universal, witness. I don’t get excited about “a pure witness” or pure consciousness witnessing any and all possible experience. Add to that that non-duality claims that the witness is one with everything witnessed such that there is no real duality between the witness and experience. So you just end up back at the beginning before you started trying to divide your experience into a witnessing spirit and everything else. You just come back to the beginning - like a circle. There is no real journey if the path is essentially a flat circle. At least you’re cute.
There's no difference because the body cannot witness anything except maybe illusions. Only the awareness is the true witness or experiencer The journey is the destination
@@mozis88 hello. That is a good question that you ask. I do not teach or preach mysticism. I am sort of a philosopher of common sense and pragmatism. I work with nature first and foremost. I only work with “spirit” if someone is concerned about it specifically. But, apparently, many mystics claim that the goal is to have no goal or that the point is to have no point. To have a point is to strive actively toward something that you presently lack. And if you something can be gained then that something can also be lost. A mystic might suggest that you get comfortable with having no point and let go of trying to change things in order to become happy. But again, I don’t teach or preach that myself.
@@insider235 Thank you for the answer, so the picture is more complete, but as the lady said in one of her recent videos, you have to search to be able to stop. Everyone looks for their lost happiness in externals, we don't know that it is precisely this function, the automatic service and maintenance of the body/mind/personality/existance(liteally means exio-stand), that causes the loss of happiness. Instead, there is a self-interested search, reptilian brain functioning, which gives the will to give up happiness, that is, to search happiness in survive. With this point of view and attitude, in the absence of self-awareness, we only reach sense gratification, like animals. This is basically a determined, compulsive process, like the narrowed way of thinking it causes. (Idios kosmos- koinos kosmosz) The search, the hope that we will reach our goal and that everything will be as the formed personality wants, is the suppression of happiness in ourselves. We try to control the world, even though it would be enough if we knew ourselves thoroughly. Anyway, how can I be my body, if I don't have a single cell of what was born with me, how can I be my thoughts, if I can see them appear, disappear and remain unchanged in the process? My thoughts are not me, thinking is my sixth sense, which is currently forced into a compulsive survival point of view for almost everyone, stuck in a personality, stuck to the ground. One must know oneself in the search, then get lost in the worldly search, and then also in oneself, so that one can give up oneself. If there is no compulsive goal dependence, then only the journey remains, the dance. In dance, too, the process is important, not the arrival at the destination. Anyway, if I only look at the goal, I keep falling flat on my face, I'd rather look at the path.
All the world is a stage (William Shakespeare). Maybe, your TH-cam videos are your act and we are the audience clapping your act? Note, the word "theatre" contains the word "earth" or even "the earth" contains the word "theatre"; is it possible that the world is always theatre and that you did get what you wanted the tough part is realising it?
@Peter winter - I really loved this comment, and I shared it amongst some of my community members. This was such an insightful and beautiful offering that I had never considered before. I have a deep love of Shakespeare and believe many of his soliquoys point towards awakening/enlightenment such as 'our little lives are but rounded with a sleep' I so agree with you, having moved from acting to directing to writing - and then into other elements of theatre management it seems the initial 'goal' if you will has moved further away. But then I see how all of that training has helped with TH-cam - and in fact that is perfect and wonderful. I am thoroughly enjoying showing up here and having this community - it feels very interconnected and allows me to connect to the wholeness of life. Thank you again for this comment its been truly wonderful to reflect on and integrate 🧡🙏✨☺️
Kabir the Indian greatest saint were awakened in 15 th century. And so many saints were /are awakened . Guru Nanak devji, Dadu dayal ji, Raman maharshi, Swami Vivekanand ji, Osho Rajnishji, Swami Yogananda who was writer of " The autobiography of yogis", and lot of saints in India. 🙏❤🙏
@@iosho3473 not before their time came. In the end ,everything,the guru, the sage, God ,the church, temple ,everything will get dissolved into nothingness. What will remain,my guess is as good as yours.
I did all of this awakening bull shit for eight years. I did it all with absolute sincerity. I realised when I found out my yoga teacher was shagging his students and when I dealt with him on a financial issue he was a completely amoral crook - that this whole awakening trip is just a way for us Westerners to feel peaceful and blissed out while still being pieces of hedonists and indulgent. I finally found two things of substance years later - Friedrich Nietzsche's will to power concept, and later on the chants and devotional art of the Orthodox Christian church - the only church that can truly trace its roots back to Jesus and the Apostles. Good luck on your journey but spoiler alert enlightenment is utter bull shit. None of the Eastern stuff gives you moral guidance like Christ or a notion of who you truly are as a beastlike animal that Nietzsche delineates. Genuinely wishing you the best with all the wishy washy pagan crap.

I so agree with you, having moved from acting to directing to writing - and then into other elements of theatre management it seems the initial 'goal' if you will has moved further away. But then I see how all of that training has helped with TH-cam - and in fact that is perfect and wonderful. I am thoroughly enjoying showing up here and having this community - it feels very interconnected and allows me to connect to the wholeness of life.
Thank you again for this comment its been truly wonderful to reflect on and integrate 🧡🙏✨☺️
No one cannot really awaken or reawaken. There's a script. It's unalterable. No matter how muxh effort maybe applied
Kabir the Indian greatest saint were awakened in 15 th century. And so many saints were /are awakened . Guru Nanak devji, Dadu dayal ji, Raman maharshi, Swami Vivekanand ji, Osho Rajnishji, Swami Yogananda who was writer of " The autobiography of yogis", and lot of saints in India. 🙏❤🙏
@@iosho3473 not before their time came. In the end ,everything,the guru, the sage, God ,the church, temple ,everything will get dissolved into nothingness. What will remain,my guess is as good as yours.
@@dogtail3937 , Who knows nothingness, He remain in original form or immortal form without shaped. 🙏🌹🙏
There will be no assumptions, no shape, no speech, no breathe, there will be only one who knows nothingness. 🙏🌹🙏
He knows nothingness and himself permanently, Weather he has a body Or not a body.
I did all of this awakening bull shit for eight years. I did it all with absolute sincerity.
I realised when I found out my yoga teacher was shagging his students and when I dealt with him on a financial issue he was a completely amoral crook - that this whole awakening trip is just a way for us Westerners to feel peaceful and blissed out while still being pieces of hedonists and indulgent.
I finally found two things of substance years later - Friedrich Nietzsche's will to power concept, and later on the chants and devotional art of the Orthodox Christian church - the only church that can truly trace its roots back to Jesus and the Apostles.
Good luck on your journey but spoiler alert enlightenment is utter bull shit. None of the Eastern stuff gives you moral guidance like Christ or a notion of who you truly are as a beastlike animal that Nietzsche delineates.
Genuinely wishing you the best with all the wishy washy pagan crap.
