Thank you, Jeff. This is "my experience." This is what I speak about. I am simply a sharer, a reminder and a pointer. We are it all :)))

[@markwilensky5547]

Thanks for your simplicity in making the "sought after" so accessible. Jeff is a wonderful teacher of reality.

Goddamn i wanna see that chair

[@geffreybolster3780]

Since my experience, my life has become more challenging in a way. Boredom, no curiosity,. I saw the color, felt the vibration and heard the sound of the where, what, when, how and why of all lifes creation and evolution. Since then, I see, hear and feel e v e r y t h i n g ! I know why all do what they do. Why people and all life do what they do. I see how it is all meant to be. W h e w ! I am dual/non dual/singularity. I am life. Never ending and forever cycling as another contraction/expansion (duality).

"The chair was playing the game of being a chair."Amazingly insightful observation. Where do I send my money?

[@johanna1590]

I know. I understand this 100%. I agree with you 100%. I've had many same experiences than you.

wise, love ya, hello from USA

I'm sure there's a physiological explanation to why he was seeing the "chair" the way he did. Maybe the interpreter inside his brain slowed down or stopped and he saw whatever he was looking at the way it was. But ask yourself this, how is this going to help you?

[@Yah-Brielle]

holy shit...so simple.

[@mutageno]

this is just what i needed lol... hopefully this will come by itself when it should...i wonder if i need to meet an awakened guro for it... doesn't really sound like i do tho thank you man

[@galacticpresidentzaphodbee6256]

This is my biggest question as well. Do I talk about it or not. If so, what for? If not, why not? I find it very difficult answering this really simple question. My realization of enlightenment happened 2 years ago.

[@steffiekate]

yes

[@shunyam56]

Yes, then let the "happening" run free trough the days of your life...

[@robbiepeterh]

0:44: “it wasn’t really a chair.” That’s the punchline right there 😂

[@sjawim]

put the chair in a museum.

His eyes remind me of the character Bell on Emmerdale

By seeking an "explanation" for why it occurred, one will never experience it. This is the difference between Western Thought and Comtemplation (mind-based) and Eastern practices, and "meditation" (awareness-based). Google the term "Samadhi," which I have found is the best and most succinct way to describe this "experience," which has occurred for me 3 times in the past year. How it can "help" you? Easy, when you realize there is no "you," there is nothing to be helped : )

Life appears as everything correct. But how does that rid you of your suffering and the delusion that you are a doer, because unless you realize that you are free, that you are the light and actionless then you're still suffering. You're still human.

[@scutty4022]

what is there to be free from?

[@mewsie2395]

@mctantrum what he knows himself to be isn't limited to a body or what is called "the body mind". There is a perceived self which is a body or thoughts, but when you look for yourself in your body or in your thoughts, really look, you may not find anything:) you may find that what you are is not a body and not a thought. you are aware of the body but is the body aware of you? so who is this you that is the witness of the body? surely not your christian name :))))

[@SheikhN-bible-syndrome]

Having an experience is only important to the person having the experience. Just because you can get mindfucked and realize non-duality doesn't mean anything because we only experience things that are in duality and we live in duality and so even if life truly was non-duality it's of little importance because for what ever reson life and all that is real is in duality and so the rejection of that is the equivalent of not wanting to play the game that was made for you . Its completely pointless.

[@nir8vana]

It´s any chair actually or any asshole or kitkat or whatever.

🕉There are apparent non-duality speakers in the world - that apparently appear to be visibly observable in mirrors as humanly corporeal temporally temporary body-mind complexes / action figures - observably visible in mirrors for an impermanently indeterminate duration "in" space and time - and not "of" space and time - even though we are far more than those projected images observably visible in mirrors - for an impermanent duration "in" space and time and not "of" space and time for no-body - other than seemingly mingling with All That Is & All That Is Not Empty Fullness as the contextual content - as what apparently appears to arise - as though every-thing is no-thing-ing and no-thing is every-thing-ing - for no apparent reason, meaning, and purpose - other than of its own accord and volition. 🕉And yet, non-duality speakers are seemingly increasing in greater numbers than ever before as a seemingly new resurgence of the "Advaita Movement" that had once been strongly prevalent and mainly local to India in the "Ancient of Days" thousands of years ago, when the Bhagavad-Gita and Upanishads were seemingly introduced into this dream-like reality frame as the story of Earth. >
