Synchronicity moment for me. Thank you John!

love includes the form and the formless .

Any insight on precognition? I know as the witness, I am prior to any explanations, but the implications of the apparently ever-changing nature of form being witnessed in a state before it is experienced (again) intrigues me. It seems to imply the possibility that form or destiny could be fixed or "frozen" to such a incomprehensiblely density that its like a hyper demensional clay of infinite probability and maybe it is the attention of the witness that is the moving factor and not form? Thanks

Lovely stuff John. I recently read Robert Saltzman, are you familiar with him? He speaks of things in a very similar way to you , just from a slightly different angle.

Hi Wolf, I did have a conversation with Robert a few years ago. Here's the link on KZbin (I forgot to turn my light on as the evening wore on so the second half of the dialogue I am shrouded in darkness!): kzbin.info/www/bejne/rardoYmKeNOSq8k

Can I ask you a question John? Is it normal to become irritated and agitated by non duality teachings in your experience? I find nothing resonates with me any longer, with the exception of you and one or two others. The words no longer match my own experience and I actually find it uncomfortable listening/reading the words and descriptions. Everything pales compared to my own, non verbal resonance with whatever all this is. If I had to choose a word, it would just be "not knowing" of anything. Was this your experience at all? Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@alreadyshining]

Hi Wolf. My own journey has led me to seeing the absolute impossibility of describing/conceiving what this is owing to its infinite, ever-changing, unresolvable nature. As a result, over the years I've become much less interested in listening to spiritual teachings where the un-resolvability aspect is not being emphasized since I see the discovery of that as most important and ultimately liberating.

@@alreadyshining Yes John, very well put. It's a funny one, I keep a journal about my own experience, and even my own writing frustrates and irritates me in its inability to capture or describe what I "see". Thanks for your reply.
