Lovely. No need for awareness when there is just the simplicity of what is.

[@James-mk8jp]

Exactly what was needed. Fuck. Thank you.

[@gerrym-cat7119]

Just found you (or myself 😊) on KZbin and became a subscriber after the very first video I watched. Simple and clear message…

[@stacielivinthedream8510]

Same here!

[@IndianJu]

And here! 😊

[@pastushi2883]

This was so beautiful I can`t even tell what to say...

[@Hananssm]

Great video. That’s why so many spend years seeking and still are, including me. 😅

[@johnburman966]

Attachment to thoughts is the problem. But thoughts are objects too, with dimensions, nobody creates them. Without thoughts there is no "me". For me this is still a thought.

[@suzanne-chang]

The 'me' sense claims and owns thoughts, it gives it meaning and validity, can't help but do that, nothing right or wrong with that, it's just what's happening. There can still be tons of thoughts here, but it just doesn't really stick to anything. It's nothing-ness thinking. Thoughts are not a problem at all.

[@johnburman966]

For me in fact, since the sense of self faded, there is no problem with seeing thoughts, just don't need to engage.... there is space which allows creative one's to be present when I need them.

[@mementomori5374]

Youre so sweet ❤️ thank you !

[@chrispmar]

I love your sharing Suzanne. I love hearing about your experience. Though I smile inwardly because I know, or think I know, or am not even really sure, how much I am really getting what you are saying, and how much it is just concepts. I know it is only conceptual for me. Though, for whatever it's worth, I did see through the non-existence of my personal self briefly decades ago. I love how the truth is simply the truth irrespective of culture, time, place, gender of person etc. etc. The truth is known directly. Can't be any other way. And from listening to you and more so listening to the words of Nisargadatta Maharaj, if one doesn't rest anymore, more and more subtle things for the self to identify with keep falling away; the "I am" sense, identification with consciousness, with awareness, with nothingness, with any and everything, until there is no concept to point to and say "This is me!" "This is reality!" Nothing one can say is it. And, of course, I recogize that I am only speaking about this conceptually and not as a realization happening through the body that is appearing to me. I still feel myself to BE someone. But I know, conceptually anyway (lol), that I am no one and nothing, and that even to say that is totally inadequate. I love these two qutoes from Nisargadatta Maharaj: "I find that somehow, by shifting the focus of attention, I become the very thing I look at, and experience the kind of consciousness it has; I become the inner existence of the thing." And this one: "Since at any point of time and space I can be both the subject and object of experience, I express it by saying I am both, and neither, and beyond both."

Thank you Suzanne .Really good.

[@durwhat]

Me again .Reminds me of when Krishnamurti once said, leave the window open and the breeze might blow in.

[@darrenfromla]

I’ve commented on another one of your videos but again I ‘d like say I really do think you could craft a book on these matters that would be extremely beneficial to many people. I would certainly buy it. Even though these concepts are not new to me you have a way of speaking about them that is refreshing and renewing somehow. You are the clearest speaker I’m aware of about radical now in duality.

[@yungblade7]

I look at all the practices/meditations to be just a way of quieting the overactive mind. As the energy of the mind begins to dissapate the present moment is just felt more intensely and therefore nothing is really happening. Except the mind is filtering your reality a little less now 💙

[@nazirananji3310]

Beautiful .. thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

[@InertiaFloatStudio]

Ever so satisfying..❤️

[@mattpfeifer3889]

Suzanne, I love you videos, just started getting into them. I had this this idea come up when watching Jim N. and Tony P. I have a hard time with the apparent/ or alleged randomness of the illusory self apparently falling away. It seems to me that people in the vast majority of cases need to be seekers first. If we were to conduct a survey of those who "awakened" how many of them had zero interest in non-duality or spirituality prior to the contracted energy falling away. It is safe to assume that that would be extremely rare thus this being random is a hard sell. Do we have examples of bank robbers or murders losing their sense of self?

[@suzanne-chang]

yeah for sure, for here too, even after the apparent happening that never happened the constructs of the apparent mind were still intact for a bit... But really nothing can be said for sure... and apparent people 'wake-up' or see no-self out of the blue or without a spiritual journey or without hearing this message, it seems like they don't necessarily have the language to share as often because they don't have that background of spirituality and so we may hear about them less... Other apparent people 'wake-up' in the midst of deep deep suffering and others just ease into it and don't even really recognize when it happened. But it is totally possible that most have some interest in similar topics but I really can't say for sure.

[@fernandopoma]

Great video. Thank you.

[@michaelpudney]

I see it like this. My body geometry interacting with the zero point energy. the body has a design that utilizes energy in the most efficient way because it's based on the golden ratio right down to molecules. The feeling of this energy efficiency, this golden ratio, sitting or moving or whatever is the feeling of life. The zero point energy is like white noise it has everything in it. This body filters that energy into greatest efficiency of use...this is the feeling of life. The golden ratio organizes the white noise into a spiral, the white noise has everything in it and the spiral has everything on it the spiral is life with the feeling of life.

[@zulteonka]

thank you :)

[@mehriravel5619]

Oh no. Now what....feel like I was playing a show and then curtain came down. so is this it? strange feeling...

[@jainashesh8694]

Great 👍

[@-a-l-t-]

0:25- "thoughts" "feelings" and "awareness" are all the same thing. all "known". there have never been "thoughts" about "feelings". ever. there has never been an "awareness" about "thought" or any other separation of thought into made up categories. it's all thought. all of it. nothing is "yours" including thought. there is no "decider". ever. any sounds produced by any animal are random pattern. any words used in any attempt to "describe" anything is nothing more than pattern. there is nothing to do ❤️

[@johnburman966]

I remember listening to Tony Parsons years ago who used exactly the same words and yet nothing changed, so I stopped. Can what is me be changed? Need I listen to more? If everything is fine, there is no right or wrong, need anything be said at all. Tony Parsons always said you will get nothing from this message, fine, but will I lose something, or is it all chance.

[@suzanne-chang]

Yes, there is nothing to get from this message... what can seem to happen by chance or without rhyme or reason is that this illusory sense of 'me,' an energetic body contraction can fall away but whether it is there or not, it doesn't really matter... it's already this perfection, already wholeness. There really doesn't seem to be any rules to this. And yeah, nothing is right or wrong, all is this chaotic perfection already... nothing need be done, nothing needs to stop. It's already just this.

[@stoicafanel]

Till the body will feel beeing nothing /full,,,and the mind too ,,,,,the question never stop , unless i accept that, Îs it ?

[@premganga8822]

[@tykauffman1338]

So are you saying all the time and effort and reshaping I’ve put into my life and into building awareness and spiritual practice are pretty much pointless?

[@johnfranks1857]

Exactly. I spent my entire life doing nothing but learning as much as I possibly could only to find out that it changes nothing and It never really mattered. It was always going to be it just is no matter how much I learned. Now I know nothing really matters. No matter what I do or learn it was always just going to be it just is.

[@3pleFly]

No, it achieved exactly what you were aiming for, consciousness/god/I AM(etc...). Nonduality, or 'awakening' is when you give all of it up, let it all go. every shred of control, awareness, consciousness, every sense of self. You just let what happens happen. You don't even let it happen, because you can't. And you can't even CAN'T, because? You know? You unravel every bit part of you that denies this TRUTH, so you come back to not knowing, like a baby, or an animal. Have fun

[@stacielivinthedream8510]

Was anything real?
