Nonduality: Residual Identification in Post-Awakening

This video is one of over 150 that deal with The Living Method's of Spiritual Awakening's pathless path to nondual awakening, clearing up in nondual post-awakening, and abiding in/as Nonduality. Come on Home!

Beautiful talk Fred thank you.

[@lillypicadilly4048]

Everyones awakening experience is so unique! For me...I feel completely energetically high, clean, my mind is void of the negative ego chatter, I feel expansive, I have an awareness of the truth, I am completely non judgemental, I can feel the energy radiating from my body and everyone around me appears to become intoxicated by it. It started with just a few minutes at a time and has grown to lasting weeks at a time, before the negative limiting beliefs start infaltrating again. Its understood that I will eventually become my full time persona.

[@FredDavisNonduality]

You're still a little mixed up, Lilly. You're still identifying as an imaginary character. You are already All That Is.

[@suze.c]

So much gratitude and joy everytime I hear you. Your generosity and beauty is boundless. Love ya

You are so welcome!

So far I find this to be the most important post awakening video to take you back to the awakened, knowing. Very very helpful. It also gives you a handle to come back to and see through again. Thank you Mr Fred

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Wonderful! You are all too welcome, John!

[@saraswathiab5995]

Thank you Fred.I completely agree with you that this is an animating cadaver.The activities in the waking state seems like a dream.Just has no meaning.Nothing feels important or true.But choicelessly going on.Yes iam awakeness!.As you said i too had a brief moment of awakening in 2019 and then disappeared. Honestly you are the only one who talks about this topic.Nobody ever talks of the frequent glimpses that come and go.I think there is nothing to do to cause or hold back awakening.It just happens.

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Yes, thank you, there is nothing to do and no one to do it.

[@lillypicadilly4048]

Yes!

[@willkenway]

Beautiful Fred. Thank you. ❤️🙏

You are so welcome.

Important video. Enlightenment is literally just what is right now. It is the most boring thing - to the me. Reality does not even need to be accepted. All that needs to happen is to forget about accepting and rejecting. Do neither accept nor reject, knowing that both are imagined positions of a nonexistent self. Just give up any relationship with what is whatsoever. Your "past enlightenment" is the idea of no-one in the present that is enlightenment. So what is there even to accept? All is well.

Hey, Michael! As I know you know, the mind can only BEHOLD Awakeness. :-)

THANK YOU!! Glad this is here. I can play it over and over. You are love!

Hey, Joyce! I love you too! ♥

[@ukasz-xg7ty]

Thank you again. "I lost it, I'm not awake again" is just a thought, it is NOT my experience, I AM aware, at least, of those thoughts, trying to get rid of reidentification just causes resistance to what already is - awakeness

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Very good, Lukasz.

[@ukasz-xg7ty]

@@FredDavisNonduality haha, resistance is also imagined😄 it's just another appearance😄 what's next? seriously😄

Thanks, Videoman. I love your plaid vest of sunlight! Condolences on your neighbor.

LOL It was all I could do to keep the light out of my face. I feel for Sue's husband, family, and dog. Of course she hasn't gone anywhere, but I'll still miss that very pleasant unit.

[@bedward320]

Thanks for presenting this video. I so appreciate it.

[@FredDavisNonduality]

You're very welcome, Britt!

[@Privacy-LOST]

What a coincidence (well, synchronicity, if you like). I was just wondering today if at some point in my life I would stop needing to remind myself everyday to keep disidentifying on and on, and reach a point where it will eventually be fully integrated and automated. This video comes right on time. Llke always ^_^

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Funny how that works.

[@stefandessalines4877]

That got intense for a minute or two. Glad that Fred stuck around. Oh Time.... You little devil.

[@FredDavisNonduality]

The good news is that fredness is harmless unless unconscious Awakeness believes fredness has/is a center.

[@robbin4720]

The magic bullet. Seeing you were never in the bubble. What accepts the bubble is not the bubble. End of story. Thanks for this endless generosity.

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Hey, Robbin! Love to you and Sussie! ♥

[@suemackintosh353]

I was just thinking about you this morning, wondering why we haven't heard from you for awhile. The next minute your video appeared. Thanks Fred.

[@FredDavisNonduality]

LOL That's the way of it, Sue.

[@TerryLightfoot]

This is good to know. I had something happen and I'm often debating what it was. Did I, or didn't I? Awareness of awareness is clear but identification with mind never ceased. I mean, maybe it's looser, or more relaxed, more conscious of mind, but there was something that happened and then it "shut down" as you've said, and I saw that I was still identified, so it's all been a puzzle. Your video at least clears this up the confusion a little. Thank you!

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Sounds like you had an awakening experience. Many are called by way of apparently random experience. Awakening is an invitation to the dance. Few will join it. Consider satsang. awakeningclaritynow.com/sunday-satsang/

[@TerryLightfoot]

@@FredDavisNonduality Thank you, I will, sooner or later, when resistance abates a little! Currently feeling a strong pull to find a teacher but aware of my own excuses to put it off. I mean it's such a silly game. But to be honest, I was a seeker from my early teens, then in the late twenties, after having what appeared to be an invitation to awaken that ended in me cowering away from the opportunity, I gave up seeking. I was disappointed that I turned it down. So after a couple of decades something seems to happen unexpectedly, of course, not MY doing. Suddenly my seeking engine is full force, trying to understand what can't be grasped, I GUESS.. So your videos have been attracting me lately, you seem less sugar coated than most, and very direct. Plus you are working so hard! I thank you deeply! I'm sure I will attend a satsang and or arrange a session soon.

[@LourdesAB]

My first awakening, I was a child. Maybe 7-8. I felt joy and was later surprised that adults didn't know this. Fred, you mentioned trying to fit in. Well, I, in my childish way, decided to not speak about what had realized and tried to fit in. From then on religion seemed os petty and small. I guess I was a spiritually promiscuous child. But of course, I didn't think of it that way. I simply thought that it was supposed to be secret and so I began to keep it that way. As time went on life produced all the plethora of experiences that it does. And I let this awakening recede to the background, so to speak. It never left but it did sit in the back of awareness. I grew up and that's when I discovered that many religions allude to this which I secretly knew. But that few even had a clue of such. Now I realize the great good fortune I was bestowed. And in reality there's no need, or indeed, any way to force this to be realized. But with pointers, such as yours, it can begin to be understood, one might say. So glad to see the likes of your videos. We are, none of us, alone. For there is only this. Call it god or by whatever name. It is this and this is everything. That is joy!

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Great story! Thank you.

[@LourdesAB]

I have enjoyed your youtube videos for some time now. I appreciate the down to earth approach. After all, our true nature is the most basic in spite of enculturation. It was challenging to discover this as a child and a blessing simultaneously. Luckily I have encountered straightforward teachers and therefore further recognizing what this being awake appears. Very interesting. Your story also made some points, or issues, clear. And that's quite helpful. Thanks.

[@natachaOPN]

you're so moving when "you" talk. the dreamed character-Natacha in God's dream has also sometimes thoughts that arise like "I want to commit suicide", then another thought comes "You're unborn so you can't die". There is no thinker. The unit is merely an antenna, a receiver of thoughts (with a range of different frequencies / vibratory rates). It is said that in bipolar disorder, the suicide often occurs. Anyway. I think it's more "hypersensitivy". You are an ANGEL ! in God's dream (God that You are / I am). Time and espace only exist in the dream. Past only exist in God's dream. Natacha & Fred, the dreamed characters, only exist in the dream. So where is the past now ? only in memory (so in a Now-thought). So nothing never happened. It was just a dream and what remains without thoughts when the unit wakes up in the morning : emotions and physical sensations (also label-thoughts). That you call "residual identification". That is what is here and now : the What Is => : physical sensations (and yes "body" is also a concept for "a cluster of sensations" = energy : witnessing awareness). Nowhere become Now-Here :-) God never left home : he had only a dream. Gratitude for your telling "your" touching dream (not the dream of A Fred-ing, who is the dreamed character (sheep ears), but God's dream (lion ears), a way for recovery the unit's pattern. Love

[@natachaOPN]

Maths of 1 = 1 Heart + 1 Heart = 1 Heart (like in the film "the 5th Element" which is Love / Ether).

[@FredDavisNonduality]

This is very clear. By the way, this unit is also bipolar. I take medication. It's a unit thing, so give unto the unit what the unit needs. Neither the illness nor the remedy have anything to do with You.❤️

[@FredDavisNonduality]

I agree with your Math of None. I use that concept in my teaching. Your Heart Math is right, too. Suicide is the most fervent personal criticism, and there's no person there. Why kill the body? Go after the ego with inquiry instead❤️

[@GNichts]

Hi Fred, I love you and your teachings! The only part that does not resonate is when you - conscious awakeness - say it has no control whatsoever over the unit. Are you really saying that this unit we call Fred could, for instance, start drinking again, upload videos saying non-duality is just BS and then put a bullet through its head? If Conscious Awakeness, being conscious of Itself would “use” the unit to do such a thing, what difference would there be between Ramana and Hitler? Or between being fully convinced “I am That” and just being completely lost in the dream? Could you clarify this, please? Thanks for everything!

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Hi, Gust. I could, but there's no point in trying until that unit is functioning as Conscious Awakeness. No kidding.

[@brettmills9941]

Not that it’s significant, but I love your backdrop in this video.

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Thanks, Brett! It's a 19th century Chinese CARVING. The pictures aren't just painted, they are 3D. All the wood around the objects was carved away, leaving the tree, birds, etc. It's about 10 feet long, and weighs around 100 pounds. Betsy bought it several years ago at auction for this very purpose, but it was too large and heavy for our old apartment. It's perfect for Clarity House. This is the last background I'll ever have until it isn't. (The other side is also beautiful)

Hi Fred, have you been student of Robert Adams?

Not in person. I've read his excellent book.

[@davart311]

the staggering simple obviousness of this, is the death of a dream..it is literally like when we wake up from a dream: it was JUST a dream..!! there has always been, and only , this timeless and spaceless " consciuos " contest , within which everything appears , and this is you through this apparent and unique form , looking back at itself . it's never been a you having an awakening..
