The truth is actually both, there is a me, I or self and simultaneously there is not. To say there is now no self is to bring into existence a self that was never there, but of course there is.
as tony say, "there is nothing "i" can do to have the self fall away. and he also says there is no progress along the path to liberation...but he also says that "all there is is energy"...and that the "little i is contracted energy". well, can not the contracted energy apparently "become" less and less contracted? from complete contraction believing only in the little i, to a less and less contracted energy just appearing, to a point of no contraction? to the death of the little "i". cant there be apparent different levels of contraction> even if there is no time and no individual? not hierarchy type levels, just different levels of energy?
Good observation . Cognitive development deals with hierarchy and empirical research. Would be an interesting conversation having Tony talk with cognitive therapist. But I have to admit " Tony " the appearance of what he is sharing regarding liberation is liberating. The teaching is radical freedom.
Irresistible! Would love to meet him.
very good video and great interviewer!
