[@highvibefreqzshow5967]

There’s no you. The claim of there being an “I am” (separate individual) along with there being a knowledge are the illusion. “You” will never get it. As long as the separate self is taken to be real or unreal “you” will keep claiming to have found whatever you claim to have been looking for and the seeking for more will continue. Seeking is hopeless. Seeking is needless. It’s not ever what’s happening. There isn’t a person here that can understand. The one who claims to have finally “got what he was saying” is still the individual claiming to be real and that the knower (individual or “I”) is real. This isn’t about gaining something that’s missing. Understanding isn’t missing. Everything already is what’s happening. The dream individual that claims to be the dreamer is the dream. It’s a story. All that it claims to be saying it’s not saying nor knows what’s being said. No one is talking, talking is just what’s happening. No one is watching this, watching is just happening. No one is hearing this, hearing is just happening. No one is understanding this, understanding is just what’s happening. This is APPARENTLY happening, but for no one.

[@ndnd2023]

I'm surprised there weren't more people challenging the communication here. The challenges usually come out of the mind not being able to varify what's shared with what it already knows. So, it's a case of, 'but what you're saying doesn't match up with what I already know, so, tell me, how can I fit you're saying into what I already know?', and when the response is, 'you cant', the mind/me doesn't like it. Oh, and so called non duality has nothing to do with certain states, like the state of not getting irritated by a question. It's free to be whatever arises, because it is already everything.

[@markcounseling]

You bring up an interesting point. It could very well be, for example, that I don't value irritable reactivity, and so wish to transcend that. And might, we will see. But there's no fault here because there's no need to "practice the guru's flaws" -- or the speaker's flaws, in this case. It's only a person, not reality, that cares about such things.

Sort of a horizontal and vertical both .time/progress and yet ONLY Here and Now. BOTH.

[@albundy9597]

Well, even though he had a revelation while walking through a park what is being said is still just a concept, the world is full of concepts, every religion is just a concept. The likes of the Indian sages Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta also postulated that everything was an illusion of consciousness empowered by the absolute which was formless and without attributes. Nisargadatta said that our true state was prior to consciousness, the unborn state that was never born nor will ever die (sounds like death to me though) Ramana Maharshi said, "it is a mistake to think that you are a person". Where he makes sense (The open secret) in his book he says that there can't be an enlightened person because enlightenment entails the death of the 'me', the ego so there is no longer an experiencer who can know that he is enlightened.

[@claresmith9261]

al bundy yes exactly if we decided to say absolutely nothing our whole lives we’d have said everything, the problem is people love to use words to try to explain their experience and the unexplainable Yeah there’s no one enlightened cos it’s all a play, dance etc I’ve had awakenings but I still came back to apparent every day life and thoughts I’ve found the work (Katie Byron) brilliant... they’re always there and if I believe them I suffer so I put pen to paper when I do and I’m so at home with what is now whatever appears we’ll , most of the time ❤️

[@albundy9597]

@@claresmith9261 The word suffering comes up often in spiritual meetings, that has always confused me because I don't suffer. Unpleasant things happen but that is just what is. The way it is used in these meetings makes it sound like a 1st world problem. In syria parents have to see their children suffer horrific injuries, that is suffering, they don't question whether this is just an illusion and that nothing has really happened, that there is pain but for nobody. Nonduality has become almost a religion these days, a fashion for the 'awakened'. There is obviously no need to 'KNOW' otherwise we all would, perhaps maya is just another word for reality. If everything arises in consciousness then the dinosaurs were obviously a consciousness prefered species because they lasted for hundreds of millions of years whereas mankind has been around for only 300,000 years desperately wanting to be awakened from suffering, something dinosaurs never pondered. We live in a world full of concepts, I'm sure someone is giggling in the background.

I would love to hear anyones take on what the difference is between this message and Rupert Spiras as Tony seems to think there is. However, if you just substitute Tony's use of the word 'energy' for Rupert Spira's use of the word 'awareness' are they not just the same thing? I cant quite understand Tony's reluctance to engage with the word awareness - I know of course there is no personal awareness but its undeniable that the energy he speaks of is self aware so to speak as it is clearly registered - otherwise he wouldn't be able to speak! Can anyone shed any light on the distinction? The cynic in me says Tony just denies consciousness to differentiate himself from other speakers to make his message 'special' but to me its just the same thing said with a slightly different choice of words....

[@kopilit]

I've tried to shed light on this for years. Jim Newman has said as long as you're not talking about personal awareness then sure you can call all there is 'awareness' but you could equally call 'all there is dogshit' since there cannot be anything to compare it to and therefore all words fail. I *think* Tony is just cutting the legs off anyone trying to walk on 'what is' but cannot be sure.

Genuinely wondering why there seems to be so little opening from "Tony" to listen and answer when what comes from the audience doesn't fit with "his" message. The constant negating instead of trying to redirect, is putting up a wall, and that may be just as "right" as it is "wrong", but there was a time where Tony Parsons couldn't speak like this. But there doesn't seem to be any will to speak to those who apparently now are where he apparently once was. (Did I put in enough apparently's? 😜) Why would everything/nothing put up walls against itself. That seems like just another "game in duality". So Tony's energy doesn't seem like truth to me.

@@wavesfromthedarksea3629 You could be right. Maybe Tony felt so irked by the ego display that he was triggered to shut it down. But he certainly seemed triggered, no? I'm quite familiar with heavy gurus and don't particularly appreciate lovey lighty, it's not that. But I've not experienced realized people being so transparently reactive. Instead I've seen compassion in response, even if it's fierce. The root feels pure, not imperious or irritated, which is what I see here... _resistance_, you know? Curious why you feel like defending his behavior.

[@wavesfromthedarksea3629]

@@markcounseling I don't see any contradiction in his 'no self' position and his irritation here so therefore there is no need to defend any behaviour on his part so I didn't do any such thing. My explanation above was just 'yeah a lot of them are like this.' UG being especially pertinent here since we have many films of his behaviour unlike those mythologised (and shall we say 'sanitised)' from the past - there's certainly no sign of evidential compassion in his anger. I think in this context 'compassion' is greatly misunderstood. The 'Natural man' , as UG coined it , would let anything arise because there is no 'self' there to stop it. But once whatever anger or frustration that has arisen due to clashes of energy or sudden phenomena disperses there is no one there to keep it going afterwards. This Aligns with what most ND teachers say.

[@markcounseling]

@@wavesfromthedarksea3629 I'll have to check out some films of UG, never been interested before. If you mean that "compassion" in this case is liberating people from their naive ideas about good/bad, about what liberation actually is, etc. -- maybe. But there's a long history of mixing ideas about "uncivilized man", a "natural man", with a "realized man". This is Zorba the Buddha territory, and as much as I like the idea, I think it's missing something transpersonal. A "Natural Man", with no self, would neither "let" nor "not let" because self-less activity would spontaneously respond to situations. The emotions are almost entirely tied to a sense of self. There is no "anger" without a self/storyline. No "irritation". Because what is sourcing the resistance or rejection? On the other hand, if the root of the apparent "emotion" is clear seeing/compassion, then it could certainly arise in all sorts of ways, including looking angry. But I think the vibration is different. It feels different to people; it does to me, and I've certainly seen compassionate anger. I don't know in Tony's case, but at first glance what's on display there looks like good old-fashioned egoic pissyness. In the realm of psychodynamics there are no mere "clashes of energy", "sudden phenomena" dispersing -- that's absolute-analysis language when we're recognizing the fundamental equality of everything. Fair enough, but if you hastily apply that to egoic pissyness, it's lipstick on a pig, in my view. Could be wrong of course. But where this really takes me is to how brilliant the traditional spiritual paths are in trying to clear up all of this emotional residue before presenting people with nondual teachings. Because you can end up with nondual narcissists or, good god, even psychopaths I guess. Not that I think that about Tony in any way -- just that he seems a bit, what, undercooked? Doesn't mean I don't also appreciate him -- I definitely do.

[@RobbeyT1]

When Tony can't answer the question, and also knows the questioner is right, Tony instantly dismisses it with "Thank you very much, that's what YOU believe", he then looks very annoyed. The question of causeless compassion for those who are suffering is a case in point, because when compassion arises from nothing it suggests that this energy DOES have compassion, and therefore IS an intelligence. On a zoom meeting Tony was questioned by someone who said that their person-hood had fell away and was awesome. They said that a totally and a spontaneous feeling of Love bubbled up within for no one and for nothing. Tony didn't seem to understand this and tried to find a "personal" reason for this, but after much questioning he couldn't find it. It was suggested by this character that rather than everything being pointless and having no reason, that Love is the purpose for this appearance. It was also suggested that Tony had not yet reached that level. Tony didn't like that response and gave up by dismissing it with "Thank you very much, that's what YOU believe". This character wanted to go further, but Tony closed it down with a blank expression on his face. Non-duality isn't the totality of Absolute truth but is just a part of the bigger picture.

What I want to know is what is the purpose of this talk? What are we to take away from it?

[@terhgasabeha9552]

You're not supposed to take away anything that's the whole reason

[@sanekabc]

"Nothing is happening" "it only appears to be happening" This is to say nothing at all.

[@unfnbelievable4179]

YOU GOT IT! No more retreats, or books or videos for you! Just kidding. I like Tony.

[@highvibefreqzshow5967]

What’s happening is nothing appearing as everything. Everything is not a thing as there are no things, everything IS nothing.

[@JuanSinMiedo441]

It might very well sound as a charlatan. I got he same feeling when i listen to Jim Newman, who offers a very similar message. They both interrupt the questioners, with cutting and sharp, radical speech. I see them just as the bad boys of non duality.

[@sanekabc]

@@JuanSinMiedo441 Jim Newman was awakened through Tony Parsons.They are not charlatans, in my opinion. They simply offer the steepest approach to non-duality. But it is easy to self-contradict the moment you say anything. Also, the less you say, the more some sort of non-verbal transmission is required. The steepest approach would be complete silence and simply sitting with the enlightened one. For example, any conversation with me or just looking into my eyes, that is, if I look into yours, is very dangerous to the dual mind.

[@UnPluggingThePlayer]

I notice that they always say something similar, like -It's a mystery, -Can't be known or comprehended so don't try to know it. -there is no answer or conclusion ...Then proceede to describe. 😅🤣😂 The no thing of everything seems to not want to be known. If you start to dig in to know it you'll get snagged by one of these roadblocks who chunks back into the game of not wanting to have answers. 👀

[@AjitPatel53]

Is "unconditional love", compassion, etc. simply a creation of someone without any foundation or basis? I can say that the "nothing" is made up of "hatred", envy, desire, doubts. What makes that untrue and "unconditional love" truth. After all, it's all nothing which is made up of unconditional love, compassion,,.... and hate, dislike. We seek not because something is lost. We seek because we do not understand or comprehend. Scientists seek what matter is made up of not because it is lost but because they want to understand the material universe. In the same way, spiritual seekers seek because they don't understand or comprehend life, and thus they simply want to understand and explain. The smaller particle in matter is both a wave and a particle. Cannot life also be dual?

[@sanekabc]

The physical universe is for sure based in duality. However, dual consciousness is based in an illusion and the source of psychological suffering and violence. No, explanation alone can end this illusion which is something you must see for yourself. When that is seen, positive change takes place and an awareness without a center.

[@SpaceMod2]

I appreciate the message that is being said here. But Tony isn't really helping anyone with it. Tony doesn't seem to acknowledge the relative differences between beings, and instead just spews out absolute statements which no one will understand or hear. Rather than just lecturing people it would be better to actually guide them through the self inquiry process. Tony isn't appreciating the level of consciousness of the audience members. Maybe some of them have never even heard this stuff before. In particular with the gentlemen at the back. Why didn't Tony try to guide him through his direct experience rather than just kinda laugh at him or dismiss every sentence he says. Most of the people will leave this lecture being more confused and dismissive of non duality.

[@mattstocks4749]

I agree with you here but I think there were lots of other speakers who illuminated different aspects of non duality. Tony’s form is radical but others are far more understanding of the human dimension e.f Jeff foster who was also speaking that year. So the combo of all of these styles Of communication I think worked beautifully together. Tony can be a bit arrogant tho

[@Progenitor1979]

So?

[@Progenitor1979]

You want a missionary

[@garfieldbrewer5759]

I agree, he always cut people off, instead of being more understanding of there lack of understanding.

[@pamsands1661]

This apparently can break the trance humanity is in about thinking they gave a personal self. It is a trance. Not true. The laughter, apparent confusion, lack of understanding breaks the trance we are in thinking we are here. Thank you tony for helping this illusory me get out of the selfish hole I have been in. Laughter is the best medicibe

[@zendog8592]

Mr No-one got rattled, at 37mins by someone a “you” who gave an opinion but as he also doesn’t exist, how could he have a belief🤔 . Luckily no-one is reading these apparent comments 😈

[@vajraloka1]

Exactly,there's always a bit of hipocrasy in advaita "knowledge"

[@highvibefreqzshow5967]

You claim to know what’s going on, but that claim is never affirmed. It cannot be affirmed which suggests THIS is unknowable thus the story of “I know what this is” unknowable. You will never prove you exist and real by making endless claims as there is no you to begin with. It’s a dream. The claims are mere content in the story that is never happening. The claim that the thought “I am” refers to a real separate individual isn’t ever known, it’s never happening. The story of the individual appears to be happening, but the separate individual knower is illusory. Claiming “I know what I am seeing is proof that I am real” is only a claim that is never affirmed thus there’s only unknowing appearing as knowing.

[@highvibefreqzshow5967]

freedom77 Advaita is NOT knowledge as it literally means not two. There isn’t a knowledge thus there isn’t a knower to know or not know what THIS is. Words/language are meaningless which makes every discussion absolutely absurd. There isn’t anyone ever imparting knowledge. THIS isn’t a teaching. There isn’t something else and something more to gain as there isn’t anything missing. You will never know what’s happening. You will never get it.

[@sTeVe-vl3nh]

Congratulations 🍾 that you have finely debonked him 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😋

[@lordbyron3603]

The me will ramble on and on and believe in what it is saying is reasonable, logical, sensible, legitimate, accurate , and will argue with you till the cows come home …. etc. etc. , like the guy in 34:48 , that is its nature !!

[@AjitPatel53]

Who is driving the Dreambus? There is no Dreambus. Life comprises of the imagination of Shiva, the Dreamer. in his dreams. Just as we believe there never was any smaller part of what everything is made up of. Then we disovered cells, atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks and more. We didn't even know that gravity was made up of particles!!! Then we discovered even more attractive and repulsive forces, which all are made up of subatomic particles. In fact, we further discovered that vacuum is not vacuum, but made up of dark matter. And matter gets its mass by other particles known as Briggs field. Without the Briggs field, or Briggs particles, matter would have no mass. Without mass everything would in fact be able to travel through time, and space. Light is energy, which travels at the speed of light. Light is particles, photons. Photons have mass, given to it by Briggs field. We will continue to discover this same thing about LIFE.

[@RonDotComnz]

Gravity is not made up of particles- there are no particles. Dark matter is a complete nonsense, so too big bangs and nuclear driven stars. Light is not a discrete package called a photon, neither the electron. Institutionalised science is a religion preaching perfect mumbo jumbo. We've been duped upon every level imaginable....and then some...

[@ooohlaa13]

several decades ago I went to some spiritual studies at Omega institute and someone pointed out its all very simple, its a mystery bus ride and we are all bozos on the bus! I loved the equalizer quality of that. It's a relief to just be a bozo and forget about it! Nevertheless, alas I am still here trying to figure it out!

[@carielabuschagne511]

I find Tony Parsons rude and obnoxious and lacking the necessary empathy and common decency in just hearing out a person as he tries to explain his/her dilemma, apparently. According to him there is no truth but then in some sort of round about way proclaims that everybody’s version is just that person’s opinion but that his version is the one to follow but then states there is no “he” that can have a version but argues with anyone one that version is just his belief. To anybody who have half a brain should see through this fallacy his preaching, apparently.

[@sunbeam9222]

Oh dear, what an embarrassing watch. He seems to only tolerate the sound of his own voice. The person is trying to engage and Tony guy is acting so rude and disnissive. To then ramble about unconditional love and compassion to then sit there looking utterly miserable? Poor soul. I'd rmuch rather go to a funeral 🥺
