THIS is the real reason we talk about non-duality

Bernardo Kastrups comments are one of the coolest explanations I've heard!

I had some mad confidence, even in my twenties, that all the institutions were corrupt, and I would have to make my way without them, because I'd only get so far into them before I had to resign anyway. I studied physics and worked in a physics lab, and to my horror, I could see that even that was tainted by things like grants from the Defense Department. (And oh the kissing of the ass of that troll of a washed-up Nobel Prize winner!) I'm grateful that the universe "cooperated with my love of truth," and a nice life has been carved out for me, including being inspired to write a novel that helped me get over the last bit of clinging I still had to mainstream "success" and prestige. And now, finally, nondual ties it all together. The missing piece I've been searching for all this time. Thank you all for your efforts. They matter.

Have you considered why they only ever interview males?

There is no "one size fits all" on the road to Realisation. The intellectually gifted are often cursed with a powerful sense of personal self which can be a tough nut to crack

It seems so normal to me. It's called love.

There can be endless “reasons” we could come up with to explain our actions in any given moment , like playing in wood shavings and sawdust trying to show the table that was made. Which lens do I use to examine my reasons for actions for which they did not confine? Like weighing the catch of the day after market.

What do you do about the 1% who knows and is just using it to their advantage? Do we say yes to that?

[@susanvaughan4210]

The 1% may "know" as in the German "Ich weisse.' But they clearly do NOT "know" as in the German "Ich kenne." (To be familiar with.) You cannot "know" union and share the values of the 1%.

[@AnhedonicComposer]

If you mean by "1% who knows" a small group of people at the top who understand non-duality, then them using it to their advantage would be a contradiction. Also, how would they use it to their advantage without anyone else profiting from it?

[@LinguisticLifeform]

You need to deepen your understanding

[@doriesse824]

@@AnhedonicComposer There are plenty of examples of people knowing truth and using it against others to their own advantage. Their CHOICE can be the wrong one just as much as it can be the right one. They choose to stay separate and try to control others.

[@AnhedonicComposer]

@@doriesse824 Doesn't their desire to control others come from their separate self, meaning their haven't got rid of it and are not realizing non-duality? By acting on behalf one person that profits they might be inflicting more damage on themselves than they realize.
