Life without a centre - Jeff Foster, The Netherlands

Speaker at SANDS www.scienceandn...
Jeff Foster studied Astrophysics at Cambridge University. In his mid-twenties, after a long period of depression and illness, he became addicted to the idea of 'spiritual enlightenment' and embarked on an intensive spiritual quest for the ultimate truth of existence.
The spiritual search came crashing down with the clear recognition of the non-dual nature of everything, and the discovery of the extraordinary in the ordinary. In the clarity of this seeing, life became what it always was: intimate, open, loving and spontaneous, and Jeff was left with a deep understanding of the root illusion behind all human suffering, and a love of the present moment.
He presently holds meetings, retreats and private one-to-one sessions around the world, gently but directly pointing people back to the deep acceptance inherent in the present moment. He helps people discover who they really are, beyond all thoughts and judgments about themselves, even in the midst of the stress and struggle of modern day living and intimate relationships.
Jeff's teaching style is direct and uncompromising and yet full of humanity, humor and compassion. He believes that freedom is everybody's birthright. He belongs to no tradition or lineage, and makes his teaching accessible to all.
Jeff was voted #51 on Watkins Review's 2012 list of the world's 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People. Jeff has published four books in over six languages. His latest book The Deepest Acceptance will be published in 2012 by Sounds True. - from www.lifewithout...

Jeff Foster presents a very understandable perspective on nonduality. (And even if that word doesn't work for you, words are just symbols so choose your own.) Who you REALLY are is allowing all that is to be in your life, to flow through you, and experience through you.

[@5335Marian]

Thank YOUUUUU Lilou for all that you are doing for us!!!! I was not familiar with Jeff Foster. Something about his honesty and simplicity really touches me. Two beautiful people sitting on a log in Holland!! Beautiful!!!!!

[@ShopWornFairy]

"You can even hold this" How powerful. What a great interview. Thank you Lilou and Jeff.

[@harshapappy]

i love how you guys touch upon the power of being present in the now ....listening to the birds singing and nature ....and what we are living now .....love love love

[@Tessateaful]

love this interview feels so different than the "wake up now" be in love, be high vibration, reject fear or any other low vibration message which often creates more shame/self-hate etc if one is experiencing anything other than total bliss all the time. On the other hand, a message such as this: "BE fully WHATEVER arises" seems a lot more loving and compassionate. Thanks for having the courage to be fully you Jeff Foster, and in doing so accepting others however it is they happen to appear.

[@BarRaffaellaGijon]

Beautiful interview, I loved it when he said enlightment or die... very similar feeling... really needed to hear this today. Thank you.

[@roxannelucky]

BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much for this deeply beautiful love and support today when I really needed it. The miracles just keep on coming. blesisngs to all, r.lucky

[@phoenixbusby]

The reason I asked that question is because i felt you two were prattling on, somewhat idealistically. the WHY behind my questioning you two is perhaps rooted in my own complacency, so i thank you for providing further opportunity to reflect upon that..

[@KimberleyMJones]

Sooo resonate. Thank you Lilou and Jeff....I recognise this experience deeply. Bless you flower. Love, Kimberley ♥

[@TheSolsonia2003]

Truth is so delightfully simple...and you both show that in this interview...Thank you dearly...God's Blessings...

[@scottkraft1062]

The truth is simple and it isn't pretty.

[@advadhuta]

Nice one Jeff. Totally resonates as you do with so many folk. When you are living this, as you are, and only through This Grace, it communicates wide and clear and folks here. Well done you and cheers!!

[@davidbrooksiv]

YES! I LOVE Jeff! Thank you for interviewing him I will definitely watch this when I have time :)

[@infop2]

Thank you so much for this enlightening experience of watching this !

[@harshapappy]

thanks again lilou, uve done it again ....lilou.....jeff is such an inspiration ....

[@mascottie]

He's got good energy. Laughter is the best thing we have

[@NinaKlockseth]

This guy managed to put words to what I have felt so many times, thank you both for this great interview.

[@DJCallidus]

Thankyou Lilou & Jeff Peace & much Love

[@AndreaBryant369]

Great video - feeling the love and connection to all. Thanks.

[@Walley666]

I just mean life as a general term for this 'thing' we're experiencing. It's true, we're all in the same boat - but some of us have filled it with all these shoddy items and taken them to be a part of the boat itself.

[@WonderingAboutThat]

Great questions Lilou! I so much enjoy your videos! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

[@newxonearth]

Wow he's great! A Master even if he doesn't recognize this in himself. Thank you Lilou and Jeff!

[@Suziesuzi]

Everything he said made sense, which was a comfort and a nice reminder of how I can live more peacefully (as if i once knew this and had forgotten)

[@mohamedladha7054]

Funny.I feel the same.

[@cipovaa]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Jeff is such Light! So you are Lilou! Two shining Lights! ;-) Another great video! Thank you, thank you so much for your wonderful work Lilou!

[@laurettaboyington2055]

nothing real can be threatened ..nothing unreal exists ..herein lies the peace of God....CIM...

[@JuanSinMiedo441]

Coming from listening to Jim Newman and Tony Parsons for a while, this feeling like resting at home.

[@RoosaElisabeth]

this is so simple and moving... thank you!!!

[@WaterSeesWater]

I think the point is : Jeff is talking about those things from his state of mind.But most of us are not in the same state of mind as his.So what he says doesn't help very much.In order for us to feel the same,we have to be "THAT".

[@BRIERFOX]

omg...that was just...just...pure!!! the perfect retort. wow.

[@neilfroehlich4277]

It is our subconscious beliefs around losing somebody that manifest the emotion of sadness in the body. No? If our beliefs around death reflect a higher consciousness, then we won't manifest sadness. I think we would manifest appreciation, love and gratitude knowing that that individuals mission is complete and they did there part on the physical realm and are moving on to the next service.

[@madelena1234]

This was a wonderful interview. Thank you.

[@peacenowfran]

i love when a man knows what he's talking about when he says: that's beautiful.

[@itchcitizen2]

Thank you !

[@onanee8488]

Awesome Interview! Thank you.

[@CairnsIndyMedia]

This is so great! So useful - you're both brilliant.

[@PatriceMorchain]

Thank you Lilou for this video so inspiring !

[@lonelystupidwar]

this is great, thank you!

[@michaeldelisieux5252]

Many (many) thanks!

[@KimberleyMJones]

Unconditional love...♥

[@Soumarthi]

What you are isn't an idea; nor is it a state of mind. A lot goes on; none of which has anything to do with what you are.

[@TheSolsonia2003]

'Nothing Real can be threatned, nothing unreal exists..herein lies the peace of God." acim.org Thank you Lilou and Jeff Foster

[@MRT_FLAG]

BRILLIANT!

[@OCEANCORA]

thanks for your positivity :)

[@emerald3921]

Love this interview Lilou.

[@energyeternal]

if you look carefully at jeff foster's message, and others who talk about living from your authentic loving self, you will notice that it is far more than simply getting what you want. LoA tends to appeal to those who are looking to feel better or have more. LoA is real and arises in consciousness.. but if it is seen as an end in itself, it is a trap.

[@mcarbone4]

Wonderful. Thank you. Makes so much sense. And yes he is very handsome!!! ;)

[@cmelanso3371]

"I gave up trying to work it all out"

[@mohamedladha7054]

Grace of god fell on you,otherwise its impossible for the mind,not to try and work it all out.

[@CodySnyder14]

wonderful Question Lilou! Wow, " how do things manifest in life? Through being in the present or creating it intentionally?" Great stuff.

[@nicolareddwooddforest4481]

Yes, it is all based on the law of attraction. Allowing is resting. Alllowing is sending your message of wishes out. Allowing is not clinging any more. Allowing is allowing yourself as who you really are which is allowance. Unconditional love is allowance. And don't resist the resistance as Adyashanti said. And like Jeff said allow the resistance as well, whatever is happening at that moment. My fear of presentations caused fear of fear, all that because of resistance to the state of fear.

[@mohamedladha7054]

Surrender.God is sir.We are under.

[@saidas108]

Listening to him brings to mind "knowing about something is not Knowing it." Perhaps he does, but I don't get the same sense that he really "Knows" as when I listen to Rupert Spira.

[@spmgijsbers339]

Know its just form Love how his voice sounds Its comforting that the negative things i believe aren't the end 🦄🦄🦄 everything holding me back inside, its relative, oowff Yeahh

[@summondadrummin]

I read something the other day which made some sense.Mystics are people whose primary focus is on being ala Eckart Tolle and people more Magically inclined tend to focus on creating or becoming something. Being and Becoming.The Law of Attraction seems to fall into the later camp? Of course were both.

[@carmenmich]

Great COM quote!

[@jeetu9373]

WOW Jeff, Beautiful listening to U!! I just want to meet U Boss, pls come to India😀

[@remingtonmccall]

the allowance is not something you do.you are the allowance. you are the awareness in which all the perceptions are appearing. if you do an act of allowance that allowance is happening in the Allowance that you are. You are awareness. a sound is heard. a view is seen. feelings are felt. thoughts are flowing are noticed. they all are allowed, they all happen, they all are noticed whether your thoughts allow it or not.

[@melissas7821]

Love how he explained his dad in his present "state". Very cool. As a hairdresser in a nursing home I get it. It's a tree.

[@voguee2]

so beautiful

[@litao3679]

What about the idea that everything that happens, had already happened? That what "we" are experiencing is just, like a memory, or even a dream, illusion. Any ideas? Very confused, but also can't stop the search for what's Real. Would love to hear opinions of "others". 🙏

[@MrTacasio]

Thx for that interview! À good remeinder to the simplicity, the oneness. We allow allready everything that happening to us! Wow ! So powerfull ! And he's cute ! Lol

[@picknick21]

Great video! =D

[@picesof69]

Jeff's story made me think about this song: State of Mind by Raul Midon:

[@Tessateaful]

I am always puzzled to hear so many "new age" teachers talk about oneness while at the same time (often in the next sentence) talk about so called "negative" experiences and emotions that are to be avoided. isnt this hierarchy of states the definition of duality and the cause of further suffering?

[@stoneforest11]

Thank you Jeff for a very profound and honest account of what so many of us go through. I love your benign approach... Conceptual shift is a nice way of putting it (Walley666) - it's just another way to express the same thing. Whether we like it or not and as long as we take responsibility for what decisions we make 'it is as it is'. How we are affected (coping mechanisms) by our environment shapes our very reality. Rupert Sheldrake speaks of the same thoughts through metamorphic resonance.

[@greenfairy05]

I love Lilou, I watch all her video's. I like Jeff's way of thinking. He has some inspirational things to say. I found he is unable to answer Lilou's questions with out going back and repeating things he's already said. Maybe it's just me.

[@TokyoElbow]

his web link is spelt wrong in the video.....center >>>> centre

[@Tonantzintonali1]

About love!

[@MissJMusique]

perfect

[@davidbrooksiv]

LOVE this interview Lilou. you should interview Bentinho Massaro next :)

[@thijsjong]

The law of attraction only changes the way you interpret the world and act in it. Intent, hope, belief and faith can fail if it does not correspont to reality.

[@Tonantzintonali1]

Its really LOVE

[@pardeepparkash398]

how about lsd ?

[@TheaDragonSpirit]

Tell his grandfather to look in to raw foods... just to give it a try. Might as well, changing diet to a very healthy diet it can really help people.

[@harshapappy]

24:20 is hilarious !!!!!!!!! love u guys :)

[@midrilla1897]

He's so cute, also... :)

[@telosa3]

fabbbbbbbbbbb!

[@WeAreBullets]

he gave up and then it came to him.

[@burningbush9317]

Who I am has already said yes to what's happening? So, I'm a brain, eyes, ears, etc.?

[@ValerieWhittington]

Just "Being"

[@FlowerRemedy6]

Love Juicy Living

[@WeAreBullets]

funny, "nonduality" makes more language sense to me personally. but all those descriptors still make sense of course

[@deejaysoulution]

'because it's allready here' ;-)

[@mariscamolenhuis5611]

The Voice of this girl sounds like miss piggy ( a say this respectively)

[@Lisa_Fernandezhomeandlifestyle]

Marisca Molenhuis 🤣

[@chrislorie903]

Spijtig geen ondertitels in het Nederlands!

[@saintsalivemusic]

how can you continue to remember how perfect you are in every moment, I feel like there is so much going on at all times, and so many changes, and to bring yourself back to an idea is different than bringing yourself back to a state of mind. Any thoughts?

[@jezzyby47]

Jeff, look into Coconut Oil and drinks for your dad, a lot of people are saying it works.

[@joyfold1029]

I'm curious to see the machine Watkins uses to measure the influence of spiritual teachers lol Love Jeff... but couldn't help but tease, as such lists seem pointless. Lol

[@kumi9999]

Lilou, please show your face during the interview, you are a cutie

[@MrNakhann]

I'm just laughing =) Thank you

[@inatehealthnathancormier2125]

Now really ask yourself WHY you would ask that question. Why do you bring the focus there? There are many people who grieve those things.If you ACTUALLY look into it, Alzheimer's is un-natural also. Yet all are created by a collective. Any dis-ease is unnatural...it is a state of being that is NOT AT EASE.Your comments are understandable , but are filled with your own frustrations in life.

[@spmgijsbers339]

How socially avoidant and lazy i kindo am It feels wrong, But it's allowed Ty Basically, you dont have to do anything, when ur overwhelm with fear appears, As for nonacceptance Ty Its not a mistake, ty

[@LotuSilk]

I think his "allowing-theory" is almost the same as the law of attraction. if you think positiv, you'll get positive outcomes..if you think negative, tough, you'll get negative effects. I might be wrong, but to me, it seems like he is trying to explain this principle (law of attraction) with his own words and trough his own experience. :/

[@ncripzx]

hi there, I'm just curious what you mean by the word life? You are speaking as if you know something we don't... we are all here experiencing and thats it... everyone is in the same boat

[@mohamedladha7054]

There is just one without the second.What a paradox.Apparently.

[@phoenixbusby]

yes the sadness is the sadness of the millions suffering from western led wars, starvation and medical testing

[@MUSICOBLISS]

How much does it cost to get enlightened?

[@david203]

Connie Fox Some people become willing when their addictions and distractions finally and completely fail. Others get ready by being inspired or guided by a teacher they resonate with. A very few have spontaneous enlightenment, such as through a traumatic event such as a traffic accident or a 'mental breakdown'. Sri Nisargadatta said that longing for freedom, peace, or happiness, or being earnest in self-inquiry (self abidance) was necessary. When one feels the desire to make real progress, the means become available. It can be surprisingly easy to get started.

[@MUSICOBLISS]

🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽

[@Wizards_Dream]

For you fella you don't have enough money or sense to understand, sad-o.

[@MUSICOBLISS]

Raphael Perales projection much? 😨

[@Wizards_Dream]

Na just sick of dark trolls dissing people who have an honest and helpful message to share.

[@RGVNC]

viva la resistance

[@robertsitler1]

brilliant

[@PhilEmanS]

pushka rugalbar maruta enilo kuma turino!!!

[@saleemisgod]

What is spirituality? I can't see him trying to teach anything.He's just trying to communicate his experience.

[@mohamedladha7054]

Its dicovering,which has been covered.Its always been there.It will always be there.Eternal,immortal life.

[@saleemisgod]

Well you should be able to provide a bit more evidence than the statement 'I know'

[@xdfckt2564]

So he read a lot..

[@squito94]

Looking juicy Lilou!
