Jeff Foster - The End Of All Seeking - Nonduality, Advaita, Spiritual Awakening, Oneness

"What we are talking about here is the possibility of waking up from the dream of separation. And it's an awakening that's simpler, gentler and more intimate than you could ever imagine. This radical message lovingly allows all spiritual paths to have their place, whilst at the same time making them completely obsolete. And this may feel very threatening to a mind hooked on ideas of paths, processes and perfection. But in the presence of this revolutionary clarity, the endless seeking of the mind cannot last.
And then, in the place of striving, suffering, and solidity, there is only ever lightness, love... and so much laughter. Some have called this "spiritual awakening". I call it Life Without A Centre."

When you think the thought "I wish I knew how" - you are reinforcing the search, and you are reinforcing the sense of an "I" who needs to find something. Just let it be. This is it. Happening now. Whatever it is.

[@jimcrich]

Individuality is only a problem IF you were taught, in early childhood, that you are NOT OK just as you are! If we had been taught and trained to be happy with our selves and the world, we would not be dissatisfied seekers now! All seekers are looking for HAPPINESS which was taken from us in early childhood and we assume that just being in "form" is the problem. Being unhappy is the problem and getting back to happiness is the goal. Why not choose to be happy right now? It's just a choice!

"I Am." That is our true nature -- being -- pure and simple being. There is NO-thing to being: It just IS.

The attempt to end separation, yet there's none....searching for oneness that was never lost

[@swhite8381]

This is it right here guys! He’s telling us clearly and sometimes we glaze right over what he says because we are looking for something else , expecting angels and trumpets. Thank you Jeff. I absolutely love your writing by the way.

[@martymardb7878]

[@kimnixon5357]

Thank you. Oneness is the real truth.

If we stop trying to improve things how will anything get done? I'm always trying to better my circumstances and sometimes it works and it's nice... I want more of that. If I stop then I'll become poor and hungry?

[@TadRapidly]

"THIS", as it's been presented to us, ISN'T enough! That's why "THIS" drives people to suicide. "THIS" is meant to be transcended and forgiven. Our only purpose here is to forgive "THIS". ;-) Blessings!

[@EnlightenedJourney]

oneness stares you in the face... Everything arises from stillness ..nothing can be found or lost..humans are just consciousness experiencing the "world of form" through this unique nervous system which also arises from the devine.. it's all one

[@theravster09]

The end to all search is to stop searching.....

[@Facetsofbeing]

If there was completely 'no separation', then the experiences - including 'enlightenment - of one being would transfer DIRECTLY to all others. For example, the Buddha's (clearly profound) realisation. And yet, no such direct transference of energy has taken place. We get his transmission only via seeing and hearing his words and actions. The same goes for the negative actions of powerfully negative beings. No - each person has their own mindstream as well.

[@douglaswade5876]

There is a book called , The Eternal Quest. By Joseph Whitfield. It follows the lives of two spirits through many incarnations, learning the lessons of love. The last chapter postulates that the cause of homosexuality is an indecision by a soul as what body form will be best to learn lessons in the coming lifetime. That indecision manifests as confusion in the new lifetime as to how to use the male or female body/lifestyle to the highest level to move through lessons to be learned .

nothing isn't a distraction.

The method for deeping insight into these matters is Vipassana Bhavana

[@Facetsofbeing]

1 of 2 Jeff, I would have to say that I agree there is no separation - but after much experience I've been forced to conclude there is independence also ~ as spiritually 'politically incorrect' as that is to say in some quarters. Dzogchen points to it. The mirror becomes one with each reflection momentarily but retains its independence from them. The fabric can be dyed many colours, but retains its ability to take on colour. For this reason, we choose what we're interested in exploring.

[@noumenonjohn6136]

Facets of Being This is true. I would also add that the individual makes it possible to know the oneness. If it was just oneness, there would be no known experience of it. Spiritual growth is a movement to more and more individuality and at the same time knowing the oneness.

Que bonita muchacha se asoma en 2:00. Gracias por el video.

@tuungan 1 of 2 Lol getting irritated with the 'search' is, in my experience, something that happens after years of spiritual practice/discovery. I feel it's a mistake to try to 'let go of the search'. That's a trap itself - because it's circular. People will relinquish it when they've FOUND what they were looking for, & tested it to certainty.

[@Facetsofbeing]

@tuungan 2 of 2 Until that time, frankly, if u look at the world, you might rightly conclude the that search is NEEDED. People do NOT realise the oneness - and that's one of the root-causes of all the world's troubles. If people had a deep understanding that we are all drops in the same ocean, they would tread much more carefully - both from the point of view of karma (cause and effect), and from love. I say, seek until you find. But use your discernment.

[@mesa134]

keep an eye on who seaches

[@ncripzx]

the question 'Who am I' ? must be a rhetorical question - a question to which an answer is not needed am I right?

[@RoastLambShanks]

@lampshade132 1) Right now you are reading these words. As you read these words you can hear them in your mind. As you are aware of these words as they play out in your mind, you think... I am thinking these words. If you are aware of these words playing in your mind... who is it that is aware of it? Its very simple. 2) Cause and effect is a western idea, but used it to realize that one thing is always dependant on another for its beingness. Infact once you understand the reality of this, ...

[@klibar]

hey... would someone tell me what he says in 9:51? something in the face. may you help me? thanks guys.

[@prinzdubs]

@BesACB so nice u had to say it thrice ;) obv u and tad are working with different definitions of THIS lol THIS: earth, suffering, wars, rape, laughter, orgasm, poopy diapers (story, circumstance, Object of experience) THIS: that which so obviously IS. everything that is, is IT. storyless. circumstance-less beyond subject and object coles notes: THIS the dream vs THIS in which the dream arises this writes a message to itself and reads it

[@TheRickmurray]

I feel as though he is trying to copy Eckhart Tolle with everything from speech to knowledge. Not such a good copy though

[@Luxmjya]

Lol self image. I'll be darned if you can transcend yourself by yourself. Then again no intellectual synthesis can "effect" this process either. Why not just get this info directly from the source? No words are necessary.

[@rolley9156]

I have a theory on the nature of duality and a answer to why there is homosexuality
