Billy Doyle 'The Mirage of Separation' Interview by Renate McNay

Billy is a Spiritual Teacher and Yoga Teacher in the Kashmir Tradition, and author of the book "The Mirage of Separation".
He had a strong spiritual orientation early in life and started to explore non-dualistic teachings in his twenties. He met Jean Klein, a master of Advaita and Yoga who became his teacher for 14 years. He practiced 'Art of Listening' and self-inquiry and then one day, while on a silent retreat, "all identification with a separate Entity dissolved" and he then knew himself as Silence.

[@sharonbenjamin9310]

Wow, it is profound to realize that what you have been searching for was already present 🎁 due to the dissolution of ego.

I "pulled it off" by simply choosing to be that which I realize I have always been. Love is so generous and loving that it allows itself the freedom to experience being "non-love", so everybody is already love whether they identify as love or not. You can be love and still experience a range of human emotions. Anger, frustration, jealousy, rage, are all simply ingredients in the infinitely rich smorgasbord of experience. Even "negative" emotions can be tasted and valued and appreciated.

[@julianbates2040]

yes, I agree. We need to be Whole... Out of Wholeness bleeds Holiness>the one leads to the other>to be fully alive is to be fully aware which leads one to Truth, the Ultimate... Herman Hesse -at the end of his 'Siddartha' had this to a tee - and was So Movingly Put!

Evidently, if you are some form of a spiritually and/or meditation expert you speak in ASMR ;)

Lol. I find it a bit hard to take at time. Put Billy on 1.5 X speed and he is easier to listen to.

very nice...the body awareness meditation at end was great.

[@Eyesoform]

I think the hallmark of absolute love, for me anyway (you can define absolute love for yourself) is wishing the best for everyone in existence. If you wish the best for even your worst enemies and for the most despicable beings ever, then I'd say you've achieved/realized/remembered absolute love. By the way, I can wish the best for someone and still punch them in the throat if they be making trouble and I be defending myself. Peace.

[@Paseosinperro]

ASMR

[@ytmee360]

I listened to this years ago and just found it again.. it is the best unintentional ASMR. 👍🏽

[@Eyesoform]

A lot of them seem to have found the void and stopped there, thinking that emptiness/silence/void is the ultimate thing. My path this time around has led me through the void, which has created immense space within me, and then that space has become filled with pure and absolute love. Through embodying pure and absolute love, wisdom and insight is gained which lead to ever deeper and finer understanding of the fundamental nature of existence. I basically have just one question left.

[@breadcrumbtv]

Ok, I’ll take the bait…what’s the one remaining question ? 🙏🏼

[@walkwithmeASMR]

You will never know...

[@terefefeyssa877]

Wisdom and insight can not be gained

Imagine Billy Doyle meeting John Butler.

[@terefefeyssa877]

John Butler is nothing to me. 😠

[@JonnyBlueChair]

I think it would open some kind of portal to another dimension!😂

[@BLSFL_HAZE]

Existence has no actual opposite. It's 'apparent' opposite; 'Non-Existence', is forever in violation of it's own definition, as such rendering itself fundamentally redundant, thus remaining eternally 'self-cancelled'. Non-Existence does not exist, anywhere, ever. Therefore, Existence itself is ultimately causeless and edgeless, in space and in time, and so is not 'something'. This infinite, eternal 'nothingness' is what ACTUALLY is, without another, forever and ever.

[@terefefeyssa877]

How about if I oppose all this? 🙄

[@jesuisravi]

logic is the separator

[@dbozzi52]

Renata is such a beautiful woman.

Is your book out yet?

[@DavidDavid-ie1zl]

teachers seem to be of a way,being of a way is a form of drawing lines in the sand and every line is of separation,to be full filled is to be without attachments,its not about what I do but about what I no longer do,nothing is every thing

[@perfectperson214]

I use a tree as an example. What is a tree? Any answer you can think of to describe it is only a description of its appearance or function. We cant know what it is because it’s beyond our comprehension, we simply exist just like the tree, but can’t know what we are beyond the labels we put on one another.
