9:00 There’s something in you that existed prior to your parents birth. We exist within it, and ultimately, this is no “we” there is only IT, appearing as we.

More opinions. Descartes got there ‘first’: “Je pense, donc je suis”= Cogito, ergo sum= I think,there I am. An afterthought: where’s that toupé😂? Ken is going round in circles!

Love this guy to bits. He doesn’t make sense to me though… 5 mins ago or 5 hours ago.. there were objects.. where am I going wrong?

When I began self-inquiry, “who am I?” became “what am I?” when it was realized that the sense of self wasn’t a person. Still without an answer, the question became “where am I?” Am I behind my eyes looking out at the universe and controlling this body? The next question was “am I?” Is this sense of awareness or consciousness that’s seemingly separate from the contents of awareness really me, or is it another thought? Is it even possible for awareness to be completely independent of the contents of awareness? If not, then can I even be awareness? Isn’t the sense of self as pure awareness just another arising in awareness? It appears that there are only arisings in awareness and no self to be found anywhere.

Brilliant

“The perceived cannot perceive.” ~ Huang Po

The issue is that in vulnerable people that the lucidity of the experience can create, "I desperately need to have a critique of Freidrich Nietzsche read to me in a stern tone" complexes where people start to believe that, "I Am'ing the hell out of the thing" makes them a kind of modern Solomon-- combine this with modern popular culture presentations on numerology and Kabbalah and you've got a goddamned party on your hands. ...a mental illness party that is. Show up and grow up or waking up isn't that valuable. Subjectivity is a, "group project." There's a reason Jesus deputized His disciples, "preach this gospel."

This aged so badly and it's frankly, for the most part gibberish.

You are not Big Mind, you are a very naughty boy😅

And u have it right more than most, which is the funny part. And lord, stop saying arising and all the orher non dual crowd pablum. This shit doesn't need a certain language. Just blatant truth.

Inner Silence/stillness is what's left. Stop bullshitting peoole. That is impossible to have 24/7, even a little bit of it. Most people never taste it. Maybe on death bed. Stop having children. Thats the answer. Stop the nonsense!

thats what about biblical "not my will, your will" loosing the ego will from wrong self identification, god is spirit, everything else is objects, not worshipping them is commanded/said. christianity practiced as the bible really teaches it, is the hardest but also most effective way to "enlightenment", it rips you fully off from everything the wrong "I" wants

What a load of bollocks.

Much of this cannot be known. Nothing is left.

AHA!

Vedanta Advaita

around 8:30 where is says "that is not symbolic it is literal, you had a face before your parents were born"....that is where he goes off the deep end, diving into nonsense.

Some religions say "I" is an illussion. Therefore there is no "I amness" or whatever. If you disolve the I or "ego" (not in the psychological sense) what is left?. Obviously not "you". That is when "you" o what is left "melt" with the ONE and become ONE. "I" is just a system to function in this world. IMHO.

This is beyond…amazing!

'YOU' are nothing. hopefully, this is the best news anyone will ever hear.

I am beyond I am kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZjNgml-iM2Ubposi=E0kwwF2fitvh9Thr

there is no one doing anything ...

how can he during the 30 years talking the same things)))) and making some topic videos )))) funny!!!

Jidda Krishnamurti the only one who spoke the truth

I have never heard this understanding portrayed in such a simple and beautiful way. A pure pleasure to listen to. Thank you

Am-ness is an object

Ok.. but what does it matter except provide a 'place of respite' from the worldly self to rest in once in a while.. but what other practical applications does this recognition have? I see none. There will still be the need to 'defend' the worldly self as that is where the necessity arose in the first place... Is there a change in perception that occurs with that recognition? Some new blueprint for action? I can see it making very little difference, I'm afraid

The subject of the meaning in all objects is awareness, the self same in everything is pure consciousness..... One without a second, of this whole body and mind is bliss..... The Upanishads.....

The problem with Wilber is that his endless and repetitive descriptions of reality are nothing other than more objectifying and objectification. In the end, Wilber is really only talking to himself out loud and has convinced a certain number of people into watching him do just that.

For me, words & terms can mess things up lke: no me, no thing/everything, there's no "I", no you, not two...on & on with concepts, teachings, practices, etc.

I've had 2 selves all along. The little , troubled one is usually here while the big, happy one only occasionally appears to save the little me when in trouble but doesn't stay here for very long. I want to know how to remain as the big happy me & eliminate or reduce the little, troubled me. Ken's pointer is PRECIOUS for me- big or little!

At least as good as Tony Parsons & radical nonduality, Eckhart Tolle, Advaita, Ramana, Gangaji, Mooji, Sadona Method, L.U. & many others. Thanx Ken..❤

Now i know why some mysterious force sent me here to sit in my car & miraculously find Ken's videos. God works in mysterious ways...THANK GOD! ❤

I experienced this for over 2 weeks after saying mantra i love you to my gf over and over and i didn't identify with form was fearless etc. but now the things he says are just words I cant get to that state lol

there is no such thing as cultivating spiritual i am ness

Chase IT and you pass it by, Wait for IT and it never shows. What is IT?

Beautiful way to reach God realization 😍✨

The Self is not God. And clearly this man operates on the mental level, he has not had the experiences which could lead to enlightenment. Also, this is very important. Read this: "A Critique of Ken Wilber" by Morten Tolboll.

There is the "I" or the Psychic Being, which is the person, the Soul evolving and reincarnating. This is the personal aspect of Self. Then there is the Spirit or Universal aspect (often called Self) which consists of Universal qualities..light, bliss, joy, love etc. To omit one or the other is to make the grave error of Self rejection. Am I a consultant? Yes. "I" developed these qualities and skills, I worked hard, I went to school, I use my intelligence, knowledge, and experience to do my work. I am very real and my work is meant to be. Am I my arm? or my leg? No...but they are parts of my body, which is the vehicle my Self is currently using to incarnate in this temporal reality. Just because consciousness can identify its own characteristics does not mean these characteristics do not exist. The characteristics exist inside the Soul and are part of the Soul. There is no freedom or liberation in being a non person. One must embrace one's humanity and all that one is and has done. Otherwise, one Self rejects.

You brought me tears tonight. Thank you!

Seeing yourself/ourself ultimately is akin to experiencing nothing. It's a contradiction.

This is just basic Advaita Vedanta. Neti neti.

Well KW, I'm a big Mac!

Hey where is that Turiya video?

Thank you so much for uploading this

When it comes to pinning time onto the dissection table, I prefer Julian Barbour's _Does Time Exist?_ In Barbour's philosophy, the ego-less world of iamness also lacks "ago".

its 2020. Nothing has changed. I am

Namaste

I Love this Man...but I Prefer to Say... I am a Subject and a Object...!!!
