If you really ARE pure Consciousness; limitless, infinite and sublime, how is it possible to ALSO live an ordinary and mundane human life when you're "down in the marketplace?" Can you live "IN" the Dream world with absolute integrity and authenticity, and yet, also experience not really being "OF" that same world, too? Can you actually walk the proverbial razor's edge between being "god" and being "human" by learning, instead, to simply "BE?" Discover practical ways of embracing the perennial paradox of living as a "ONE-ness" that, quite mysteriously, also likes to pretend that it's a "TWO-ness."
Science and Nonduality is a community inspired by timeless wisdom, informed by cutting-edge science, and grounded in direct experience. We come together in an open-hearted exploration while celebrating our humanity.
The man that said “I love you”...beautiful
What man? He told I love you to himself. There is no other humans or animals in this world. There is only You. But not you as your identification as a human. This is pure fiction or illusion.
It was beautiful
fantastic key to understanding right there! this talk is by far one of the densest, on-point, completely relevant, and matter-of-fact discourses on the subject I have come across in 10 years. No frills, no promises, no beliefs, no transformation, just simplicity. Thank You!

I once said to a friend when i was on mushrooms, "I am shakespeare".. I didnt mean it literally but there was something in that moment where it made so much sense... and since then i tried to get back there... a few weeks ago, i had a non-drug induced Oneness experience, and I became enlightened... Mind moves, I am Shakespeare
Haha
you’re enlightened now…?
I "slipped" into that kind of state via intense pondering and it lasted for a few days! Then my mind collapsed haha..
@@sylph7777 it's complicated. Consciousness may occasionally get heightened to a higher state just to slip back a few moments later.
Same thing as you are the Buddha and the Buddha is in everyone
Excellent talk, Chuck Hillig, thank you!

In your deep sleep you collapse into the singularity of your heart, the world that you dream of while awake."
"Everyone in this room, everything in this room is something that emanates from within you..."
Isn't non duality too much for you to digest some times?
He is a reminder. He is reminding us while he is reminding himself.
The greatest obstacle to enlightment is getting past the delusion that you're not already enlightened!
And that you are NOT what you think you are and there are no other but you.
Can you feel the weight of responsibility for the most horible things that you have done? Is it that great now? Do you love it?
22:02: No probs with having a dream, the problem is liking only part of it, which creates the drama we're living in.
31:44: Acceptance of what is, you as well.

I am so proud of Chuck a Son could not be prouder of his Father than I am of Chuck. Thank you Chuck I love you. Which you know because I keep telling you. What can I do, I can't stop myself.

The only way to control the dream is to become lucid within the dream.
Amen. Lucid within the subconscious dream which we experience at night and lucid in a conscious dream which we experience during the day...
BINGO
He likens our interaction with reality as actors in a play, one HUGE difference between a play and what we would call reality is consequence and pain. one of my (and i assume most others) primary driving forces is too avoid pain which is why i act the way i do. its only so helpful to think of life as a play or a game as long as the consequences of our actions are all too "real" - felt, experienced, whatever you want to call it, it still is until you can devise a way in which it isn't
can u be hypnotised to not feel pain ? then its not 'real' only an allowing
@@servantprince I dont believe in hypnosis but I do believe the mind can convince itself of a great many things the depths of which are far from explored. It could very well be possible to not feel pain or anything else for that matter but as of now that is not the reality which I deal with so in a way it doesn't matter until i can figure a way to make it so.

It's just as true to turn it around.
For the attendance fee mentioned around minute 6:00, there ought to have been someone on staff, who could perform a mic check.
Great question by the audience member at 39 minute mark.
As Eckhart Tolle has pointed out, statements from eastern teachers such as "it's all a dream", and "nothing matters" are philosophical propositions. People get into trouble believing these philosophical propositions when trying to apply them to the real world.
What happens when they get cut off in peak hour traffic? They go bananas.
So where's the unreality in world if it upsets them so much? It was just an idea in the head.

It takes a conscious prior for a subsequent self to feel a self just as it takes water for a subsequent bubble to form. Just as the bubble is nothing other than the water the subsequent is nothing other than the prior.
Prob is hes speaking to the mind of these people. You cant know it , you can only be it.
exactly
This was incredibly clear. I switched the total mind
When we live in nonduality there is no duality
Back Off From Your Mic
TY!!
too late
Such clarity..thank you.
Everything is like it is
Self as 1) A divine being (an object), vs 2) The divine, being (the subject, in action). That’s a powerful message, my brother 💓💓💓

" I " is eternal. Be still.
I'd chime in with the more critical comments here. Y'know.. I think I do understand what Chuck wants to remind me of. And he's right: I already know. But.. the more I think about it, the more I realize that I don't know enough. There's just too many questions open. One of the most common ones: If this reality is, as Chuck says, a dream I created for myself, then why is it exactly this dream? And if I happen to want to dream of something else (which I certainly do), why do I seem unable to change it? If I'm merely observing myself, why is it that I can't just change perspective?
Now, I totally know how Chuck would have answered to this. He'd just have said: "It's your dream. You tell me". But to be honest, that's the easy way out. And it gets us exactly where we started. Problem is: he's going that route all too often. In fact, it's just a fancy way of saying "I don't know". Which is somewhat fitting because, if him and me are one and the same, I'm only talking to myself, so I can't tell myself something I don't know. On the other side, he also says that it could be me sitting there on stage. But fact is: he sits there. So, I can expect that he knows something I don't.
Thing is: I can go into that non-dual awareness, that crystal clear feeling that I am all. I've noticed that in that state the question becomes completely irrelevant. In fact, nothing much is relevant any more at all - except the urge to observe myself, the clear knowing that I am all and can be whatever I want, and the sheer insane confidence that all will be well. But then when I return to duality, I notice there's a huge gap between here and there. And at some point, the question of "why always this dream?" becomes relevant, and I cannot grasp the answer. I clearly feel there's a huge chunk missing in the puzzle. That we're missing to understand the true relevance of this worldly experience.
Maybe enlightenment is not the goal. Maybe it's the path. Maybe this reality was designed to ask questions. All I know is that I want to know. I want to know it all, and I won't stop asking until I do.
Do you notice that chuck and Rupert and the others are quite disengaged in between questions!! Being still, quiet, silent, allowing, open, and disengaged from the drama of life is key ❤❤
@@dorothyscott2730 I think what you refer to is also called "equanimity". It seems to be a fundamental characteristic of "the one" or "true self" if you will. In Non-dual consciousness, the drama of life is totally meaningless. I just wonder what still has meaning, and why we (beings in this reality) still engage in drama despite its utter irrelevance. I know there are ideas about it, namely the idea of souls wanting to experience and learn, but.. I just don't think I've truly understood it yet. Maybe impossible in this life.
fantastic, thank you!
AMAZING. PERFECT. Thank you
The difference between Christ Mohammad Khrisnas teaching is they dont charge for it . . .
It resonates with me and I feel this to be true ❤living in a non dual state helps me be more loving and kind and live a better life 😻thanks!!
For me it is more logical, that there is no consciousness. That consciousness is an illusion itself. That I in I am, is not here. Looking back in my childhood, there is only a projected me. It is an appearance. Thoughts that are appearing in an apparent consciousness. To say you and they are me... it just doesn’t work out. There is only no thing appearing as you and me. And that no thing is wholeness, dao, god...
Ironically despite everything that's said in the first three minutes he is clearly very concerned with what others may think, believe or say. It came through very clearly.
@bebe_ That's you.
we see people as we know ourselves
@@NoahHornberger Nice cliché but the projection is clear in this video. Maybe you just couldn't resist trying to be clever by writing something you've read in a meme somewhere?
@Lazarus, what is clear is you are reactive to people in a way slightly bent to seeing the negative. These negatives are not really there but things you are carrying with you in your mind.
@@NoahHornberger So people should be delusional like yourself and only look for the good in others whilst ignoring the negatives? It must be fun living in denial. It's also interesting to see your ego flare up over a simple observation made in a comment. Something for you to work on perhaps? Maybe try to be less emotional in future.
Fantastic ! THANKYOU ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great job. I enjoyed this video immensly.
41:50 the mega long ball leaves the bat for me--most appreciated
What I wonder about, is how does non duality connect with visiting transitioned loved ones via astral projection
namaste,
toller satsang! love&peace
my question is , if the one consciousness is divine why consciousness dreams killing people?
Am surprised that folks with a microphone at SAND do not know the difference between Brahma (creator aspect) and Brahman ( the Absolute).
This is Nonduality 101, if you are going to be using these terms. Unfortunately, the error propagates and this error is not helpful with understanding and getting to the root of the illusion.
Now if you have read this, please allow me to suggest Advaita of Tantra is superior philosophy to Advaita Vedanta. In Tantra and Kashmir Shaivism, the world is NOT an illusion (due to Maya) but a contraction / down conversion in vibration of Shiva ( the Absolute). Suggest - Tantra Today by Igor on TH-cam. And article ' Moksha in Kashmir Shaivism ' by John Hughes of Lakshmanjoo Academy.
its my 100 percent responsibility but dont be attached to outcome. spiritual teachings seem to help until they dont when they get so twisted that it just pains the brain
Different type of presentation on this topic. But it had its point 🕉
So existing in a relatively peaceful time/place this may be easier to accept everything. What if you were an African slave in America, should they should just have accepted it? Gandhi who took his inspiration from the non-dual outlook presented in the Gita didn't just accept the situation. He seemed he made a moral judgement, saw everyone as equal and implemented non-violent (ahimsa), non-cooperation. Was he wrong?
Nilan Morjaria-Patel
No such thing as “wrong” exist in an absolute sense.
Ghandi fully and completely accepted his desire to work for social justice and did so.
The universe allows everything possible and that includes slavery As well as the desire to not have slavery.
Depending on context. I think retaliation from oppression and acts of violence with the goal of regaining rights is a divine thing
@@katandmouseyt Hi thanks for your response. I live in the UK born to Indian parents but I cannot say I'm a practicing Hindu (whatever that actaully means). However this year at the age of 39 I finally read the Bhagavad-gita and now listen to Swami Sarvapriyananda on Advaita.
The speaker says just be and as you say the manifested Universe allows all opposites to exist but in the absolute there are no opposites. My next question is that the Gita does seem to make a moral point. Krsna says to live non-violently unless you are part of the warrior class then that is part of your duty. And anyway you are not killing as consciousness cannot be slain by any physical weapon.
Also it seems a moral judgement was made by the supreme consciousness to manifest as Krsna. www.quora.com/Why-did-Lord-Vishnu-take-the-avatar-of-Lord-Krishna
Nilan Morjaria-Patel
You had me at Swami Sarvapriyananda! What a gem he is and I was fortunate enough to meet with him this past year. He is a wonderfully gifted teacher and your time is well spent listening to him.
I’m not qualified to address your specific concerns with interpreting the Gita verses as there are far better folks than I that can. I’m not even a Hindu,I’m a Texan😀
That said...
It may help you to keep in mind that there is ‘relative truth’ and then there is ‘absolute truth’. It is my understanding that much of the Bhagavad Gita is illustrating the dance and struggle between these different levels of understanding.For example, on the relative level we can correctly view human slavery as an atrocious act of cruelty. Morality is indeed applicable here and it is certainly not wrong to be appalled when see others are suffering harm. The fact that we do is actually the best part of us.
On an absolute level we can also understand that the universe is unfolding as it should at all times.That which is real can never be harmed. This is the peace of God.
@@katandmouseyt Hi thanks again. I recently found this on the wiki page on Sikhism which is inspiring. "The human body is just a means to achieve the reunion with Truth. Once truth starts to shine in a person's heart, the essence of current and past holy books of all religions is understood by the person." I feel I'm starting to find peace with this new view of myself in this universe.
Simply the BEST! ;)
What a way to start a conversation 😂😂😂
This angle on the subject mistakenly acknowledges the seperate sense of self. There can’t be seperate selves yet Chuck seems more than happy to entertain the notion that there is, as evidenced by the way he interacts.
if everything just dream than Chuck that I see is not the same Chuck that you see? In other word I am alone?
There’s only one awareness that is present witnessing experience through so called “filters or egos”...your ego / my ego share the same awareness. That presence of awareness is what you are. And so, we all see the same tree, because there’s only one awareness experiencing itself
Experiencing itself as the tree and the witnessing awareness of the tree
All you need to see is right here!
when he said you created me, the "you" he is referring to is the one consciousness.
"what is?" - "you are what is."
I love this channel! Thank you!🙏
This helped me see how cheap Oneness is. And the idea that I, as Atman, created the World - how cheap that is. It’s like throwing a blanket over the stars to create a special layer of ptotection. A failure of relationship, like turning your wife into a robot. Advaita means not-two, not One. How beautiful, that we are not One. Or worse, The One.
if you zoom out far enough, all the stars are one dot of light. it's only a matter of perspective. and to call it cheap or valuable does not matter from that distance. the only thing that still has meaning at that scale is pure love. it destroys everything else. Maybe calling it one seems cheap because you are afraid of how precious it is? it's not a robot wife, but a whole robot family filled with your electrical charge.
@@NoahHornberger You see, but we can't zoom out far enough. This is precisely the point. There is no way to achieve that dissociated distance, no way to find a scale from which things do not matter. Pure love? Destroys? The scale we have is between my nose and yours, the intimate scale, the one we all have trouble with and run away from with so many strategies, isn't it true? Yes I am afraid, but not of the Borg-like One, but of how precious my wife is. I think I've hardly even begun to realize how precious she is. But if I tell her she is filled with my electrical charge she will start giggling. And thanks for your comment, I'm honored by it. Please accept mine as exploration; I have no beef with the presenter and he invited dissent.
@SHRED SHREDDER No doubt. But my point is that you never lose the individual despite the universal. The hunger for the universal is quite seductive, and I think can blind us to other facts. I wonder if you would agree?
@@markv2087 when I say all stars are one dot, it is not disassociation, but intimate acceptance of a realization. I accept all into my heart as the same light, putting up no filter to split it into objects. When you say "my wife' you are not identifying her, but identifying what she is not. So if you stop 'creating' a subject and a background, everything is the same light. This is my point. And interacting with the field of light is not impersonal or distant, but is at the core of every heartfelt meaning you can experience. Perspective of ONE is that there is only one atom, and it is all things. Unification is not distant and dead, but alive and at the center of everything.
@@NoahHornberger That sounds good, and I hope that you are able to bring that intimate acceptance into all your relationships, including this one. If so, great work! I think perhaps I insulted an understanding you hold dear, and I'm sorry if I came across as rude. "One" could be, for you, the very word that cuts through obscuring clouds.
But for me, this word Oneness does not really apply. When I hear others use it, it usually appears to me that they're obscuring something. I see no self, I see not two, but I do not see One. You seem to be referring to the space before conceptualization, before the creation of self and other, but then -- for my feeling -- to call that one/One/ONE is to go too far. It's to put a blanket over the stars. It's not many, nor is it one. This may seem like quibbling, but when I try to see/feel One, it feels dull to me. It has a sense of pre-ordained enclosure, is what I feel. Is it still there when you're having an argument with your partner?
Now, I'm not saying necessarily that that is how One operates for you. But I've seen it operate that way for many people. Mixed with religion, it sometimes becomes toxic.
'One' also has a slightly aggressive feel to me, like putting a big stamp on something. Notice the confidence with which you told me what *I* mean when I say "my wife". In truth, you don't know what I mean by that, you don't know my inner experience, despite your belief that we are one. Feels overconfident.
You say, by identifying my wife, I am identifying what she is not. I do understand what you mean, if you're speaking of her essence, which I also believe is the same as yours and mine. But she's much more than that! She is also her form, her bodily form and her energetic form. It's only because of that that I can relate to her.
The essence of consciousness is formless, unbounded, and limitless, and an expression of that lack of limits is you, me, and everyone else. Without these forms, we cannot know consciousness and I would argue, it cannot know itself. So without the many, no One.
You are not in it, you are not of it. It is happening up off you. Sometimes (or most times) you decide to jump into it and participate as an instance in it, of it. But just know that whatever is happening it’s happening as per how you are creating it. Just that it’s not being created by the instance that has jumped into it. That instance will find something acceptable something unacceptable, only that way it can be part of it, participate in it. That instance will always have the problems, solutions, good/bad things of the world (creation) because it is in it by definition (you jumped into it for this experience only). But who you truly are, is what is creating this world exactly as you want to. If you operate from that perspective, it’s a grand drama that you are creating/simulating/orchestrating in a Metaverse built of space-time-objects.
Nothing new here as he said, so, I voluntarily out. 😊

10 minutes in to it and he's still babbling about what his audience supposedly came to the seminar for and supposedly have done before getting into non dualism. What a chatter box.
If you're gonna watch this, skip straight to 11 min or so.
I have no idea where this type of worldview originated, probably hinduism? I call it Flagellantism: You have got a maximum of responsibility while at the same time you are granted minimum control. This in itself would not be a bad thing if only the woke crowds in the western world who constantly are screaming and bitching and blaming would adopt it, haha. On YT I have come across quite a few spiritual teachers who represent this view. But it doesn't make sense. If you carefully watch your inner state (over which you clearly have control) and compare it to what kind of feedback you get from the "outside world", then you can easily recognize the synchronicities. And thus you can directly perceive your one-ness. This means freedom and power.
too complicated. look for your head without a mirror. headless.org
A Nonsensical understanding of the Non Dual State...
Duality pitched against Non Duality is in itself a Duality.
we have to realize ourselves like miraculous sources of water at their source when they are vibrating to cosmos events and can't be measured any more cause they lost any of their resistivity , they have become conductors . But as we are not just water , we do not vibrate to cosmos , we vibrate creativity by eclipsing our mind for to align it to our creative vibrations and we eclipse ourselves , day and night cancel each others , end of any duality , no more resistivity within the mind , pure conduciveness of creative energy from consciousness .
amazing teacher
You don't understand. There is no we or us. There is only you and you have done so many terrible things. Rape, geneside, war, slavery and you still doing that.
Yes, i dont like these bushfires and i dont like the feeling that i created them either. And, i cant fault Chuck's talk. 💞
Why did you create me to be in your sufferable world

That guy was simping hard..."what do I do about the "mortgage" payment...
"I'm going to go home and pay it on time"..."mortgage " starts with "morgue", as well as mort/part of wort used in fermentation of alcohol.....
Consider the possibility that this illusion was created specifically for intelligent beings to experience separation (and gain soul identification), so we can become individualised facets of the One Mind (OM) to escape the chaos of oneness that has no time or space to fully function once mind became activated and aware of itself. A step forward in awareness and creative evolution of the All. 🌹

Seems about right to me. All of "this" appears to be some sort of total, complete immersion (illusion).

Haha... What .. talking and doing is dual and silence is non dual. Oh my god. I can not believe Sand people are so ignorant about consciousness and life here. I really pity all the audience out there for wasting their time more than their money. One word ...non duality doesn't mean just inner silence. Pure consciousness pervading through out universes, the cosmic consciousness and all the created things living or non living connected well to that cosmic rythm is non dual. And everything which vibrate in other distracted frequencies belong to duality. SaNd has lot of non sense. They have many speakers who doesn't know anything about inner evolution
This is good.
Thank you!❤️
Tell us something useful moses
Love you dom you are always, everywhere, love you
Oh my god
So you are deluded to thinking you are not awakened he says, well how do you change that ? It's not enough to understand it, you have to experience it. The sense of self that feels 'Not awakened' is the subject-object thought based delusion that covers the experience of oneness and the "Yes" to everything. So the practice you have to do is dissolving the identification with the delusion and settle into or get familar with BEING one without a second, which is always there when the ego or sense of being a seperate self located in the head or heart(or anywhere) falls away.
If you Know/experience non-duality, you do NOT live in a dualistic world!
Realize 'I"construct identity... Then convince others of this construction.
I stopped making the mortgage payments and the dream continues.

We may shrink infinitely, so small that quarks become the scale of a galaxy to us.

He has no skin in the game and yet he is there selling books.
He dismisses questions and comments with laughter. Is that spiritual bypassing.
He asks an audience member if this person is being too hard on himself? Self? A great question. That sounds prescriptive and therapeutic. Am In caught up in illusion if I wonder if his question to this audience member implies that it is better to be less hard on self? Is there a better and worse?
Of course, anyone who really understands the TRUTH is going to see I am deluded.
He starts his talk with all the reasons why all the self books we've read( all the things we've done, all the perceptions, conceptions, conclusions) are an illusion. All the talks etc, all the enlightened. This is very appealing. Does he care that many people who have pursued this path(yeah, yeah, there's no pursuit, there's no path) have had mental health breakdowns? His disclaimer that he doesn't have a dog in the fight or skin in the game gets him off the hook. Then why is he selling books?! I should probably read it.
What you are teaching sounds like Solipsism. The Buddha said that is an outlook to be avoided.
Cool story bro
