Go tell that to Rupert or any non dual teacher. Namaste. Most of us “finite minds” here are telling you about the need to make concessions in order to speak. Imagine a master telling a seeker you don’t exist nor matter & proceeding to eliminate all his teaching, since a teaching implies a student.

Not really, I’m talking to you whilst having integrated the knowing of our being. Not the case for Sam and almost all the other finite minds that think and feel themselves as an apparent separate self into existence inside a world of objects.

He’s not committed to the opposite either, and that is why ‘he’ suffers, because he believes in a him that would always have to be agnostic. Because science will never get to the end of it, it’s an infinite regress, there’s always a cause for something in his causality based paradigm that stems from his belief in time and space.

In which case Sam Harris’ finite mind would creating the storm that is him being a separate self in a world.

Nor a universe, which Sam believes in haha

What is a Harris? One thing is intellectually grasping, another thing is real felt understanding, love & beauty. In duality, Rupert has both intellectual and emotional embodiment of the understanding of our nature, which SH seems to lack.

You? Run? Rob? Bank? Today? ? I just eternally God

@Mason Riggle will tell you there is no wave, and he will be right haha

Thank god it doesn’t matter in the least ?

It’s called making a concession to duality in order to have a conversation, Rupert does it all the time and it’s the only way to communicate. Imagine how messy and impossible to understand everything would be if one couldn’t make distinctions in order to address any topic, not possible. No one’s here, nothing is happening, so nothing matters. We’d have to remain silent.

lol Here you go again... Still waiting for your replies my dear btw. Care to question yourself a little and be open to facing your experience?

Agreed, awareness has no opinion, I just love & am everything (including “you”). In order to converse I / we must make a concession to the belief in a subject/object duality, language’s limiting indeed. It’s been a lovely exchange, thank you!??

We are in this forum to interact we each other & have higher level conversations. What else? We share our being, yet we both have a finite mind-body and have lived distinct lives, distinct experiences, thus talking is interesting. You are oversimplifying things, I can talk to you (which is what I’m doing) & still know we aren’t 2 Life is a paradox, get used to it. We are both separate & one, it’s not materialism. Materialism is the belief in matter, something quite different. ??

@Leo Gura Yes! Because that “person” is based on the lack of understanding! I love the way you think! Funny how he bases his morality on seeking happiness and that being exactly what keeps him away from it.

Lol Nice try you pretty little devils! ? ?? It’s akin to sayin’ stage yellow=turquoise, just transcend them both into nothing & btw “consciousness is impermanent” lol! Could you ever not be aware? How would you know? Ponder that. Go inquire ?? Careful with pseudo Advaita’s “there’s nothing here and nothing to do” type of rhetoric.

If you ever wanna have a proper & meaningful conversation I’m here for ya! If you rather talk to yourself then have at it. Namaste my dear ?? ?

Yes, getting triggered is God’s grace!

There is no thing, only being aware of being aware.

And here. Infinity and eternity, appearing as space and time. Body / World and Mind. Sense perceptions and thoughts.

Indeed, ultimately it is it.

Care to explain? Because it would seem you have appropriated the non dual understanding as a belief. A quite common trap. Furthermore, why do you ask if just to reply as if you already know the answer?

If by that you mean made of separate objects appearing to a subject, which is what it appears to be to all of us, then no. If you mean made of appearances (sensations, thoughts, perceptions within awareness), then yes ?. Namaste ??

Both. No. No. Reality is imaginary & really happening. Being illusory doesn’t imply it not being real, it just means that reality is not what it appears to be, hence the term “non duality”. It doesn’t matter which is happening, because there ain’t two to begin with. Your questions are seeking two, yet there is only one, only you, only I, only God, Namaste ??.

My dear. I’ll be here for you when you’re ready, don’t worry. In the meantime, read as much as you can about Rupert, the direct path and the non dual teachings, watch the videos, do the practice, meditate, and be TRULY open. The right arguments were given, & yet you won’t listen. May you awaken soon my beloved. Namaste ??

How could you know any of that is true? You start again by implying a world exists, when you never had such experience. Instead of making assumptions go to your experience! All you ever know is the knowing of your experience. Your whole life you’ve only known experience! Your claiming not to experience something is only a thought ? You only assume a world independent of you is out there, yet how could you possibly know that? It’s not “you people”, there are no people, so called people appear inside your mind!
