Damn that's good. By the end you face was in my face lol. I find myself, with each video wondering about your intention in your background choices. Sometimes I think I see it, here you tell us. After my initial wondering, I just let it be (or try to ). Sometimes the sound works me over, a reminder that I still hold some trauma there.. Thank you.

[@yasminel-hakim4348]

the far or close question is indeed very tricky. If one is alone in nature or at home, one can get a glimpse into the seeing without distances. But when walking in a street for example or walking in the rooms at home it is nearly impossible for me to not automatically analyze the distances to walls, objects etc. Can this seeing without the brain’s permanent commentary be trained or learned?

Hello Angelo, I think I start to feel more and more what it is about. Sometimes I laugh about the tought that comes up. Yet it is waiting till it really clicks. I will keep on digging❤

[@yasminel-hakim4348]

when I look at the plants in the room for a while without thinking about what my eyes receive, the plants and the spaces between the leaves begin to move an merge into one another. The same with the furniture. It moves in subtle waves and “things” get a frame of light. I remember doing this kind of looking in childhood. The moving patterns that one sees when the eyes are closed are similar. Gorgeous patterns dancing and moving.

Recently when i am aware and concentrate on looking at the ground without having thoughts I feel like the grass or earth is moving, in waves pattern, very similar to when I’m on a mushroom trip. I thought i was just feeling dizzy/need water or something. Is this normal or should I get my eyes/health checked? 😅

This may be taught to children but I don't think it's very efficient for development. Since non-duality is about not developing but what is. If this does show development in any way I would assume it would show development in what real happiness is. Or am I wrong?

@@jgarciajr82 spot on dear! But than again Ramana got so lost in the infinite God head that he thorns in his foot, bugs eating at him when he almsot starved to death in 3 year trans, was pushing away all desires thru bit of effort by power of will to ignore, and even think had a cancer and died from it? Not to sure. The effortless one isna beautiful way to live and once discovered will enlighten u and consume u, but just dont try to keep it up while driving a car or in TSA line at the airport creating big gaps knowing the lost egoic souls behind u dont know what u are up to and think u are crazy high or drunk or a rebel. Balance is key. Stay in the feminine but use the masculine to blend im when needed. I learned that these past two weeks because more n more even now .more than ever I am living a pure meditation because its so nice and brings well ness in all my actions having me respect my body n breathe Its unfortunate that it works for me while driving too but not always and sometimes I have to put some force and accelerate up to speed and than set the cruise control. So i dont piss off the people or semi behind me amd get rear ended or pulled over by a cop for living in complete grace and freedom lol All is okay. Free will is good to learn so one can mater speed and own ones own intuition and logic and imagination by bypassing spirituality and God thru the separate arrogant insane in love with dying ego mind lol yang darkness yo

Do you think it's useful to work with one sense at a time? I try to take turns with them when sitting. Sound seems easiest to start - didn't you mention something to that effect to Zubin? Shunryu Suzuki-roshi said "You may say, 'The bird is singing there, over there.' But we think, when we hear the bird, bird is 'me', you know, already. Actually I am not listening to bird. Bird is here, in my mind already, and I am singing with the bird. 'Peep-peep-peep.' " And it really is like that. Sound fills everything up and it's quite direct; there's no hearer. Vision seems more tightly bound to discrimination. It feels like suspending separation rather than letting it drop away. I'll try following through these steps some more. Thought is another kettle of fish; not so hard to find the space between thoughts and keep coming back to be there, but it can also spiral into a kind of recursive strange-loop thoughts-noticing-thoughts thing. It's kind of funny actually.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

Yes I agree sound often the most easily accessible, or body sensation if not a lot of emotional resistance. You certainly can work with one a t a time. As you cycle through you are able to pick up the subtlety in each sense and "learn" that way. What begins as subtle and doubtable soon becomes quite obviously more intimate, immediate, and undeniable as not specifically located. visual field is the most challenging typically bc we construct external world out of visual sense internally to create sense of space. Visual field can be approached however with similar strategies to sound, sensation, taste etc. Just notice what is ACTUAL experience and when the attention bounces back into thought to reflect, construct a world etc :)

What if I have come out of your body multiple times and merged back into source consciousness, so I am aware that the sense of the separate self, or “the doer” is an illusion. However I have yet to actually embody that in everyday life. Can I just quit trying to make things happen since none of this is real anyway or do I have to keep pretending like I’m real?

[@chitraisenlightened]

the non-dual Self is ajata..its not an experience..

[@maxxandlouie]

The direct path to experience non-duality is to realize and Know the illusion of the personal sense of a "me." This experience of non-duality, of "no separation" is an experience. It comes and goes. Non-duality is a permanent way of living.

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

It often comes in glimpses first, it is non-dual nonetheless. At some point (almost always after the first shift I refer to as awakening), it becomes very obviously just the way it is. It can happen gradually or suddenly, I’ve seen it both ways. This is what you’re referring to as “permanent way of living,” I would assume. Interestingly non-dual is not equivalent to realization of no-self Anatta. Many people who realize non-duality as baseline experience, do not recognize the insight of Anatta. Beyond Anatta, it stops making sense even to call anything permanent. Transient nature becomes quite obviously the nature of all phenomena. Aside from all of this, what many call non-duality is not yet true non-duality but an expansion of the initial insight of awakening into an experience of unity consciousness. As you described “seeing through the personal sense of self” is what I usually refer to as awakening or kensho, it’s really one’s spiritual birth. This often results in a universal sense of Self or being , but is not always clear immediately. It’s very easy to mistake that for non-duality and many do. With further refinements and investigations like this it is possible to move beyond that seeming oneness/unity often mistaken for no self/nondual and truly land at the insight of subject-object being illusory.

[@birgit8996]

It is like automatic happening ... there is no knowledge why it is, what is ... it is perception of what is ... only the stream of thoughts makes claims and creates a story. It is still often "caught up" in history here ... but that is also seen. There is still the "I am" feeling here, what still feels separate from what it looks ... if the thoughts don't jump on it, there is nothing separate, but this perception is only short-lived.

[@bradstewart7007]

This brought me back to learning to draw from Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" back in the early 80s. The crux of the book's idea is people can't draw because they try to draw symbols of things rather than what they actually see: the symbol of an eye, a nose, a tree. When you learn to look at was is actually there the spaces between objects are as important as the objects themselves. One astonishing early example in the book is a beginner test of copying a line drawing of Stravinsky by.Picasso, and then doing the same with the picture upside down. The upside down versions are far, far better as there are no symbols to recognize. When looking this way while drawing, thinking falls away naturally. I had completely forgotten about this.

[@dayelu6028]

Oh boy your pointing is so on point! It felt like LSD come up when I walk down the streets a few minutes earlier. I bet I even look like so too since I let my awareness stretch to peripheral results in my pupil dilation😂 I tried to "retract" the boundaries that I would naturally project into the view. I better to step up my meditation game since there were occasional streams of thoughts that carried me away. So is this what you refer to as unbounded consciousness before the 1st realization?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

@@dayelu6028 it may go that way, however if you haven’t had the first big shift “awakening” I would highly recommend working on that first as this stuff is very subtle and works best after awakening. But never bad to practice it if you feel inclined.

@@dayelu6028ur making it complicated man. If u want your desires and needs to manifest in a pure way than yes surrender ur will n thoughts to pure mind and live in pure meditation and it will literally get u out of bed, open n close ur eyes thru out the day for rest, it will do all things for u alrrady knowing what u desire most. Its perfect synchronicity, self realization and by ur choice a self actualization. This is why some self realized beings move away from suburbia, towns, and city life and join the brother hood or sosterhood or group of daoist or go alone with a wife or husband few kids pets or just alone out in nature or to live at temple. To fully surrender their will to God. It can be done in America even while driving or in a line, or talking to someone. But it can become so free while driving for example that becuase everyone is operating in ego and their are rules u have to step in with some free will and use the masculine energy to blend in as to not cause any disturbance, accidents , or attract attention leading fines, jail, prison, getting mugged or death.

[@FuturesTraderMorales]

Brother man if u are talking about the no doer eternal key to immortality than that is a path u can take if u choose to live out in nature or join a brother hood or go to a cave for examples. It is very difficult to remain im the blissful empty natural enlightened state of pure mind and intelligence which has our best interest at heart and can allow one to end the cycle of karmic debt, ending reincarnation perhaps? Who really knows? Its difficult and not recommended to keep this state for example whem driving a car in the USA. I tried it our these past two weeks. It works but sometims leads Me to slow the car down so much even to idle at 5mpg until it wants to get back on the gas, takes me on the side of the road if im feeling tired. Lotta sketchy stuff that would work in total free world filled with people who all understand the effortless one n path of wu wei. But unfortunately most of man kind are lost in ego and are using free will and intuition and logical reasoning to speed and by pass spirituality becuase of their busy schedules and kids they have to take care of. Do u understand now? But I seriously dont know if choose to be the doer ego or non doer to create this video. Could have been either or. Only u would know. All I can say if it was the non doer who made this video than bravo. It was created in a relaxed, calm, collected, in most highest no thought, effortless, spontaneous state of manner. That is non duality and to be connected to source and the to the Supreme peace of the Heavens above. Ego rushs the process thru greed, lust, taking action outbof fear and insecurities leading to suffering and misery tension in ones actions leading to disease and a early death and simply fkn up eternity by living and dying of ill fate... Rather than going all the way for destiny and liberation. Namaste.

[@JJ_Khailha]

Dude. How can anyone experience non duality from a dualistic illusion?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

You’re already experiencing non-duality, or rather it is experiencing itself. The dualistic experience is simply an overlay. The effect is created when there’s an identification with one aspect of a movement of mind, not recognizing the dependantly originated nature of apparent phenomena.

[@JJ_Khailha]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake You’re suggesting there is an experiencer and that which is being experienced. Isn’t that dualistic?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

@@JJ_Khailha do you mean conceptually or actually? The key is authenticity and beginning where you are. So what is your experience of the situation? Does it appear that there are objects, that there is space in which “things” exist, that there is a body that is apart from an environment?

[@JJ_Khailha]

@@SimplyAlwaysAwake I’m struggling to see how there can be a prescription if there is no separation. There is nothing to achieve, nowhere to get to, nothing required and nothing to know as there is no-one for any of that to be tagged to. Surely there is no “beginning where you are” as that would require a path and someone to travel along it?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

@@JJ_Khailha so it’s very easy to intellectualize all of this. If you simply BELIEVE the neo-advaita lines like there is no one to wake up, no one to make choices, no oath etc etc, without experiential insight then fat lot of good that dies right? Tony Parsons has said this himself, something to the effect of “There are people who can say the open secret message in a few sentences, but they have no actual experience of it it’s only knowledge.” This is very common phenomenon now because there are so many you tube speakers now who speak in that way. The reason I asked you is because if you’re just speaking from logical understanding that’s not at all what I’m talking about here. The first critical step is to penetrate conceptual identity (kensho/awakening). Once that occurs we can talk in a more nuanced way, before that point this will all just be conceptual. To put it in a very simple and practical way , yes there are practices that work to dissolve perceptual filters and identify structures. Inquiry being the most potent. The KZbin speakers you see who talk about no doer, the seeker doesn’t exist, etc etc ALL we’re very ardent spiritual seekers before realization, many of them notoriously leave that out 🤣

This is actually exactly my pratice! And self inquiry sometimes too. Came about from curiosity and observation and some teachings mixed together, like the Bahya Sutta. I love to do it with sound and sensations too. Also taste is great! It is nice to know someone else enjoying and appreciating this stuff! I do have a question about mental activity (like intention and will for example) and thought itself. Is it possible to do something similar with them? Somehow with the senses themselves it is obvious, but with mental stuff and emotion not.. it seems dual and as if it does happen to me! That there is a thinker and that the emotions are about me. Would love any pointing from you ❤️🙏

What do you say to those who speak of non dualism as if it’s not possible to approach it, to attempt to see it, that all attempts seem to be just an appearance and non duality cannot be realised by anyone, cannot be sought? Can I practice this and get “closer” to it, or are all attempts to know nondualism inherently the wrong direction?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

I generally wouldn’t say anything, I don’t argue with peoples beliefs. Specific to that belief though, it could be said of anything right? Like watching a Tony parsons video or going to one of his talks, doesn’t that just reenforce the sense that there is a separate someone seeking relief? “Yes but who’s going to sit in his audience and listen to the message?” Also, it clearly works. I’ve seen many people move through these stages including non-dual, and even become liberated. No-self is still relatively rare but it’s happening more and more. The upshot of this issue is misunderstanding the conventional from the absolute sense. Anytime I use terms like me, you, practice etc, these are conventional terms only. Experientially there is no sense of agency, body edges, causality etc. This is what I’m pointing to all the time, and the ways I point are purposeful, they have worked many times and continue to work. Good question.
