What an adorable expression of awakeness . “ look at a pack of hamburgers and yell to them to wake up”. I love the smiles and laughter. Thank you for your service.

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Hey, Deborah! Thank you for sharing this.

[@esnutaliah]

I didn’t even want to wake up. Never knew the word nirvana, or at least not its meaning or feeling. I came to all this information backwards after coming to it spontaneously through having to let go of so much pain. The oneness and completeness and purposelessness arises out of acceptance and letting go. You can’t ‘try’ or ‘want’ it. I think you just have to be ready to see things clearly.

Wow, while listening to this I get waves of understanding that’s absolutely incredible. I’ll be listening, not really connecting with it, I’ll recenter myself in the immediate present moment and aware of my 360 degree surroundings, and out of my peripheral hearing, I’ll hear you phase in like a radio as if you’re literally talking about what I’m experiencing matching up with the realization I’m having, I’ll freak out and then it’ll fade away like a dream, and then that process repeated like 3 times. That’s pretty intense

@@FredDavisNonduality it’s just happening. I feel like I’m just an antenna and at every given interval the happenings overlap into a meaningful pattern but I by no means feel like this antenna alone has any power to get any sync to happen. Although I do try to go with the path of least resistance to make the syncing more frequent in general since I’ve tried going against it for long enough. But yep, just happening

Well, from a deep approach to all I can perceive (Material and non material) I can understand me and a psychopath belong to the same "Oneness" but, to my "local" perception (and possible interactions) we are very different phenomena I need to consider.

[@FredDavisNonduality]

Have you reached a conclusion, Fernando?

[@fernandovillanueva4952]

@@FredDavisNonduality, Yes, my conclusion is that Psychopaths and non psychopaths are deeply different kind of humans; Non psychopaths (As I am) can be more wrong or more right and each of us carries inside a different level of evil (Always non zero). On the other hand, psychopaths can be more wrong or more right too but their level of evil is in all cases an immovable 100% (No conscience and so, not a bit of empathy for no other human of any kind, psychopath or not) Then, I think psychopaths, and from cradle to grave, are as much "awaken" as they can be which is: Awaken to pure evil.

[@zerbel]

Humans are the only dreamt up form that use claiming "to be spirit having a human experience" AS a way to separate; especially that a spiritual path makes any sense then if you're already spirit (except to have THAT experience, of waking up to trying to be what you already are - AS the way to dream you're not - but "should" be!)

[@danlet]

OK check it out: I was doing some research on how the animating presence interacts with units. According to Mr. Korbinian Brodmann, voluntary bodily movement (who's volunteering?) begins at the very top of the brain, in a section called Brodmann area 4. (In a lateral or side view, it resembles a damned lightning bolt!) It appears to me to literally be a receiver. So if units are vehicles for consciousness, then Brodmann area 4 is like... the vehicle's radio antenna! [Or the steering wheel?]

[@challo8067]

Yes, we are all giant receivers, yet most ‘information’ is truly only useful for functioning. If one is Not using a filter for the amount/type of info we allow in our awareness, it has the potential to keep us in the trance. And it is all energy, frequency, and vibration. Brodmann Area 4 reminds me of this quote- “Scientists animated by the purpose of proving themselves purposeless constitute an interesting subject for study.” You may find this interesting as well- blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/how-a-flawed-experiment-proved-that-free-will-doesnt-exist/

[@verfassungspatriot]

I really don't get what he's talking about. I guess, I am far away from awakening?!

[@chmd22]

He is trying to explain non-duality using language, which is intrinsically dual (because words break reality down). Our thoughts are also articulated using language, so that is another barrier. To "get" it, one has to revert to their infant mind, where thoughts are purely felt and there is no concept of self and separateness from the world. I think I sometimes maybe get it (if that makes sense given the caveats above), but in small glimpses, because it's hard to sustain that infant-like state of mind for very long. It can be experienced spontaneously, but meditation is the key to reliably unlock that door.

[@OhHapppyDaay]
