Non-Duality: Simon Mundie Explains Nonduality In Easy To Understand Terms- Non-Duality For Beginners

[@pat10076]

I’ve realy listend to this podcast and i loved this so much. I’m going to follow him aswell. Thanks for this absolute Fascinating Podcast. Keep up the good work mate.

[@bobsnead1153]

Randy, you are truly a KZbin superstar! From offroading to GRMS to metaphysics -- you can do it all! Until now I sort of followed your channel because I'm getting into GRMS. Now I'll look forward to each next episode!

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.” - Bill Hicks

[@WorldMoneyWins]

WOW!! this is really interesting. I'm going to have to watch in segments. I want to, and WILL watch the whole thing. Really good brain-workout! (Or it isnt because consciousness created my brain and not the other way around?) Simon is really good at explaining this.

[@RisingTidesAC]

Damn Randy, you are not only a great sarcastically based humorist, you are an awesome interviewer! Great video!

[@giborchayil]

I don't have non-existent time for this...🤣

[@craigdavidson2977]

Hey, Randy, you rattled off a bunch of names of authors and teachers on this topic 1:19:40 so you have clearly been looking into this topic for a while. I knew you were intelligent the first video I watched years ago but I had no idea till today you enjoyed engaging with the deepest questions of our existance. very nice

[@craigdavidson2977]

"Religion is an industrialized version" of an attempt to understand universal consciousness 55:27 "humans trying to explain God" That's one of the best descriptions of church I have ever heard. Well done!

[@ranchdog7920]

I was conscious when I started this presentation but now I am unconscious.

[@MikaHadi]

This all makes sense to me, I think he is right! This would make total sense to a completely blind person who has never had sight ever.

[@justinsmith623]

The best way for me to understand this was a process called self-inquiry. You basically just ask yourself who you are. When you investigate your answers, you will find that all of your initial answers are incorrect. Most people will start with saying their name, but you would still be you if you changed your name. You wouldn’t be a completely different person. That’s just a label. When you finally get down far enough, you realize what non-duality is. You can’t teach it or explain it effectively. It is ultimately only grasped when you strip everything away from your awareness/experience. What remains is the correct answer. There’s not really any good words for it. Trying to describe it just throws everyone off because they think they know what you’re talking about. They won’t understand until they experience the answer themselves.

[@voorjaarman]

My favourite description of sense of life is as follows: "I am my own universe, the meaning of which can only be expressed by level of my efforts in adding value to others" 😎

[@sambello1105]

Randy, I watch all your radio reviews, even the ones I have no interest in because you are the Queen of all disfukuation. I have really injoyed these past 6 interviews. Simon hurt my head, but totally enjoyed his view of the world. Thanks for the content and keep them coming !

[@craigdavidson2977]

The universal interconnectedness of all things. That's why I bought a Baofeng... to be connected. Who knew that a Baofengs were spritual? (Xenu approved!)

[@Chris5685]

Wow, this is quite some heavy philosophy/spirituality stuff. I heard of this concept somewhere before, maybe connected to Hinduism/Hare Krishna, but I never really understood it beyond a vague idea, as my worldview is deeply rooted in materialism ("only believe something if it can be proven by at least three independent measurements"). Also, the term "ego death" came to my mind many times during the interview.

[@TheNotaRubicon]

We never even got to the whole "ego death" thing! Look up the work of Dr. Donald Hoffman and Bernardo Kastrup, and you will find what is more and more looking like two of your three measurements...

[@jayc7673]

Love the philosophy. I watch all my philosophic daily dose in Einzelganger and gamers unbeaten

[@jamesprofitt8884]

Sounds like the ‘mind over matter’ philosophy. There are many ways of philosophy that espouse this view, or at least a part of it.

[@craigdavidson2977]

John 14:6 "...“I am the way and the truth and the life..." 1:00:40 I am intrigued that you tied the Bible into this topic which which is totally appropriate. The teachings of Jesus are completely in line with the philosophy of Non-Dualism. Below is a list of Jesus’ seven “I Am” statements in the book of John. “I am the bread of life.” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51) “I am the light of the world.” (John 8:12) “I am the door of the sheep.” (John 10:7,9) “I am the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25) “I am the good shepherd.” (John 10:11, 14) . “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6) “I am the true vine.” (John 15:1, 5)

[@perrygauthier1174]

Best channel!

[@jeffreyjohnson3577]

I watched this for a while. I then gave up. Thanks for the opportunity to hear this gentleman and his theories. “Lost in space”!

[@craigdavidson2977]

If you are interested in the topic but found it difficult to understand try Rob Bell's youtube video titled "everything is spiritual tour" and see if he explains it a little better for you.

[@dasfoot]

Interesting discussion. I assume you know who Richard Feynman was? If you are interested in the kind of stuff in this video I think you would also like to listen to some of Richard Feynman's old interviews. Two videos I highly suggest would be The Complete FUN TO IMAGINE with Richard Feynman and Richard Feynman - The World From Another Point of View. I think you would very much like the part where he talks about radio waves.

[@dreamstate207]

Consciousness is not a by product of the brain. Everything came from consciousness. Everything around you, computer, chair you're sitting in and everything else was a thought in someones head before it came into being. The brain actually filters out your greater reality.

[@bigshu5520]

Fantastic convo Randy!

[@vitogriffin8902]

I can understand why he would believe a lot of these things, and I agree with some of it. One of the foundational things I don't agree with is the idea that time doesn't exist. Time works much differently than the way we understand and perceive it, but time itself does and must exist in order for anything else to exist. For instance, the space between two thoughts, or even between the beginning and end of a single thought, is time, so without that there could not even be a thought. There would be no matter, no consciousness, no energy in any form without time. So, time is absolutely real; it just doesn't necessarily behave the way we think it does all the time.

[@Mr.Smith101]

Right. All you have to do is ask this dude to describe something as mundane as a vehicle moving from point A to point B. If it cannot be "time", it has to be something akin to what we perceive as time.

[@jasonwhite-az]

Time is change. Change is observable and measurable.

[@bobsnead1153]

Sure, it's hard to grasp the notion that time is not fundamental given the power of our everyday experience. However there is solid empirical evidence that time is not what we experience. The equations of the very small, quantum theory, has no notion of time. On the other hand, the equations of the very large, Einstein's relativity, show that time depends on where you are and how fast you're going and that there is no universal definition of "now". I think these tested and verified equations tell us that our notion of time, while practical and necessary in our daily existence, is not al there is.

[@RandyMoe]

I see things others don’t.

[@AlexanderWiggins-y8z]

Randy: The whole thing is like this. If you look in a big mirror, you will see someone who looks just like you. But on closer inspection you will notice a big difference in your reflection in the mirror. The difference is that when you look at the mirror and raise your right hand, your reflection raises it's left hand, which looks identical to your right hand except it is the left hand in the reflection,, Further, both you and your reflection are not reversed vertically. Your refection is not upside down. However, your eye sees the reflection upside down after the light passes thru your eye lens, but your brain sees your reflected image as right side up. Now if you have a series of mirrors --------

[@TheZenPhotographer]

I would love to see Randy interview a credible guest. Randy is great at the interviewing, it's the guests that are lacking.

[@craigdavidson2977]

Simon is correct. There is a scientifically proven interplay between the observer and the observed. 35:06 51:05 We have only proven that matter exists when we are observing it. The dual slit experiment shows that light is both a particle and a wave at the same time till we try to observe it. If you remember highschool chemistry class they taught us that atoms have a nucleus with orbiting electrons. Well.... Turns out that 'orbiting' was not a very good description. Further experiments show that electrons exist around the nucleus in a cloud or haze of probability until we try to observe them. When scientists attempt to observe an electron its cloud of location and momentum collapses into a specific spot and all of a sudden starts looking like a particle again. This is how science (quantum physics) works not just philosophy and not just religion. A philosophical way to say it is that consciousness CAUSES matter to exist.

[@gohma_]

the double slit experiment is one of the most misunderstood experiments in science, the point is to demonstrate that the necessary steps taken to measure particles involves interacting with them and thus changes their state. particles when they are unmeasured are unobservable, because measuring them changes them. the name "observer effect" gets a lot of people tangled up, the functional word "observer" is not meant to be a literal human, it is an outdated term from the early 1900s when the experiment was originally performed. it has nothing to with consciousness, as their states change even when instruments measure them. nondual discussion on the internet is unfortunately overrun by all sorts of hasty arguments and fantastical re-imaginations of both physics and religious events in an attempt to shoehorn everything into some fancy nondual box that makes the world more perfect or make more sense, when the irony is that it's just more dream stuff for the mind to chew on and reinforce the illusion of its own self. bantering about quantum physics stuff is fun but decidedly less valuable for understanding nondualism/consciousness than simply being with your being. just my two cents.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I'm sorry, was the opening "Get your strapon"?

He is a nut.it is good his conscience is in reality across the pond..

[@daveb7408]

All fun conversation for an undergrad philosophy class or a really boring party. "Non-duality means 'not two'." That's deep. "What if C-A-T really spelled 'dog'?" -- Frederick Aloysius "Ogre" Palowaski. Thanks, Randy. This was entertaining.

[@Mr.Smith101]

NERD! Thanks for the flashback!😘

[@craigdavidson2977]

Is the soul an individual thing that goes back into heaven when you die 52:48 or is it universal consciousness that has always been everywhere? Yes. Both. Particle and wave at the same time. Depends on how you prefer to observe it.

[@marksaunders1565]

Randy, I recommend reading Douglas Adams and watching Monty Python. That will explain everything.

[@audiomaker1]

This topic will not ring with those who don’t have a better-than-fundamental grasp on physics and quantum mechanics. Many people think they do but actually haven’t connected the dots. Start with this: What we perceive as matter directly “comes from” energy. Put another way, matter is a “state” of energy, or even more to the point, matter is mass emergent from something without mass. Once you can wrap your head around this, you are on your way.

[@craigdavidson2977]

Yes indeed and recently the physics folks are saying that matter only seems to have mass because it interacts with the Higgs boson and the Higgs field.

[@Chris5685]

To me it sounds like what most Indian religions take as their basis, the spiritualism without the actual theology. Like... the concept of seeking nirvana I guess? I'm definitely not someone qualified to explain this either, and English is not my mother tongue, but if I understand correctly, it's something like there exists something (that some people call God, or an another state of existence, here it's the "consciousness"), and everything is just part of that something. Everything we perceive is just a small part of this single something, like how the dude brought up that dream example. In your dream, everything comes from you: yourself, other people, animals, inanimate objects, and whatever your brain comes up with, it's all comes from you. These might be influenced by things you experienced before, but that dream is the creation of your very own brain, all of it is you. I'm just a stupid car mechanic who's very far away from anything spiritual, and my perceived reality is deeply rooted in measurements and natural science, but this is what I kinda got from this interview.

Before Abraham was, I am.... 1:10:42 John 8:54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, ...But you have not known him... I do know him and I keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “...I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

[@godlydevil1]

Personally, I think SOME people just try to make things more complex than it really is. What does it really matter how we are experiencing life? Some people, myself included, tend to think there is a consciousness that is bigger than me and others around me. I call that consciousness God. However in exploring God, I've come to believe in many other consciousnesses out there that are "other" than human. Be it demon, angel, ghosts, poltergeists, and so forth. It is what it is, what does it matter how we experiencing life? Other than just being curious. You know what killed that cat yeah? Just sayin'. Have a good night and be good to each other. 🙂
