It’s good he’s got you questioning! Nonduality isn’t a goal, or a belief, or something to strive towards. It’s literally unbelievable. As in no chance of understanding it or believing it. Who cares what the guy in the video says. Or me. Self Inquire.

@MarkusSweden In absolute nonduality there can't even be a distinction between Inner and Outer. There can't be slightest causality. There can't be a 1st reality affecting a 2nd reality. Absolute is Absolute. That's all it be said. It doesn't matter if it looks like a Mansion or a pig house from outside when Absolute is Absolute. But I get your message It is we who are completely selecting our meanings and interpretations of outer world. We are the final barrier between our Truth realization. Its just that since birth, the entire world system is rigged to manipulate and imprison every human being in their own bubbles of miseries and suffering.

I know what nonduality means trust me. I am just using the word “experience” to indicate that in reality it is still an experience even though it seems transcendental to you But you only realize that after you are saved from that paradigm

Guys I am not trying to convince anybody here to change their beliefs. What I am trying though is to share my new findings. I questioned the nonduality a lot. For example, as Leo is saying it is the path where you become dead in the end. We were blindly nodding the heads but if you think critically why would someone really want to become dead and lose the sense of free will? I am just trying to open you all to the possibility that if Jesus is really the Truth and prophecies of the Revelation are true than just consider how would the devil decieve the humanity? Precisely with this new age stuff where people are starting assuming that they are gods themselves... I really invite you all to watch this video and be open minded to everything. What if this states of nonduality where you merge with the universe is just another phenomenon in the brain? Precisely in your prefrontal cortex which is responsible for your sense of reality, time and free will?

What peoole call no self is the experience within awareness in which there is no identification with any object. Their true and only identity then is revealed - awareness. It means before there were two Yous - Me, the object and my awareness, and after the object me dissolves, which is a thought object, there is only one self, not two, the meaning of Nonduality. That self happens to be empty, so you can interpret it as being 0 selves, but imo that is a mistake.

@andydufrain The spiritual path doesn't mean having to let go of what your ego wants all at once. You can simply invest short amounts into spirituality and meditation for a short time. Even 10 or 20 minutes of meditation a day can be a good start. Research has already talked about the massive benefits of 20 minutes of meditation in 2 weeks. To go so far towards enlightenment work though, is a much much harder and longer process. And it's best to start small. Worry about self inquiry later. Go find a different meditation forum that doesn't have as many advanced concepts such as "nonduality" and "being one." Work a little with the basics of mindfulness and paying attention more to your senses. Meditation is just mastering the basics on deeper and deeper levels, so make sure you know them well before moving on. Try the site palousemindfulness if you'd like some practices for a beginner.

@egoless I consider you a friend as well. ??I did not watch the video. I’m not into snakes and satanic stuff. What’s your run down on what new age is? I don’t seem to have a connotation for it. Maybe a path of believing in lots of supernatural stuff, vs self inquiry? Not sure. In part my comment was coming from an understanding that one who refers to nonduality as a deception means they are well aware they are deceiving themself, cause there’s only nonduality. Or that they’re referring to their idea of nonduality, and not the actual situation, from the veil. (Veil sounds nicer than the word ignorance to most) In the ‘a picture’s worth a thousand words’, here’s a picture of all universes, multi verses, all dimensions, etc (all duality), from the vantage of Being... (Not actual size)

I hope more and more people will realize the deceptions behind the new age and nonduality...

It makes me so grateful that I have escaped that nonduality deception when I see your posts guys. You are such a hypocrites. You claim that you are free of beliefs and worldview yet you get so defencive and insulting when soneone challanges your perspective. I am so glad my eyes were open about the delusions of nonduality Good job for strengthening my position once again. As Sadhguru would say you guys are full of bull

@cetus56 peace. I am not trying to convince anyone. I am responding to who is asking. I am speaking from my perspective and this is my Truth. This forum is for seekers of the Truth or at least I thought it was. I can and will leave it soon. I don’t hate anyone here on the contrary but it is very pitty when I see how the forum responds with hatred to different perspectives and worldviews. This even strengthens my belief that nonduality and this path is a delusion. peace P.S. I consider many of you here as my online friends or at least I thought that was the case... I could have easily left the forum without revealing my shift in perspectives but I felt responsible to share with others about what I have found out

@Joseph Maynor how is nonduality benefiting you in a long term?

You are impolite and acting like a little kid. Calling out names on the internet is always easy. Be more careful in real life! It's better to learn some manners instead of chasing nonduality which clearly is not helping you to appreciate and respect other people.

Ok I don't see any more sense to continue our conversation. If you need any help to get out of the nonduality hypnosis IF you ever realize that just contact me and I will try to help. Good luck!

@Etagnwo You are trying to explain 2+2 of beginner nonduality to me.

No you Trust me. You have no idea where I was and how much I know about consciousness, the self and nonduality. And I don't mean intellectual knowledge. I have to speak on your language so you can understand me, Solipsism is often the product of nondual practices and psychedelics and may be destructive to ones psychology. This is why some nondual teachings and psychadelics are dangerous for some people and shouldn't be practiced.

Dude, be more humble and stop judging people when you clearly don't know their experience. There is no way you know what I have seen and what I understand. You have no idea how deep I was in the rabbit hole. You just popped in this forum and I have been practicing nonduality for years.

Solipsism is the fruit of delusional tree - the nonduality hypnosis.

I reached the very deep states of so called "Nonduality" and collapsing of separate self. But I am telling you,,, My eyes were open that these were delusions. Now it's up to you how you process this information. I am trying to wake you up. The choice is yours!

@Etagnwo You can not tell me anything new about nonduality and Solipsism. People don't understand here that I was very hardcore in these practices before I was saved by the personal God. My eyes were open how delusional all this nondual path is. It is circular deception. The more you practice it the more "True" it seems to you. And in the end you reach the point where you become a zombie without a choice and willpower. Whole your worldview is based on the fact that everything is one and noone exists therefore you have no willpower and choice. This is literally the path of death of the soul. You are destroying the soul and surrendering yourself to devil's deceptions.

God is infinite intelligence. God is personal. God has intelligently designed you. But when you say: “I am God” that’s ego’s desire to be special and godly. This is where the delusions of nonduality starts. God is you but you are not the God and this is the biggest paradox. You can never become the God. You can only be united with god after you leave the form. God is personal. He is alive. He has a plan for you and everything. He is infinitely intelligent. God thinks the reality into existence. God has created you with infinite potential and therefore free to choose. Free will is the foundation of your existence.

@Betterself Yes, you are alone. As God. Nonduality means there cannot be any "other" who is not you. The deepest levels of nonduality can make you start to feel lonely, as you realize that you created this entire dream all by yourself and the illusion of "otherness" gets shattered. It can feel very solipsistic, but also, as the mind adjusts to your new understanding, the loneliness should dissipate. I do not exist. You created this forum to entertain yourself. And here you are reading all these posts that you yourself wrote to yourself. Seeking advice from "others" who are really just yourself. Try to see the beauty of that. Aloneness and connection are ONE. You can look at it like the glass is half empty, or the glass is half full. By being everyone, you are infinitely connected to everyone. You still haven't surrendered fully to nonduality. Yes, it's very radical and scary to surrender fully to it. The truth is radical beyond words. Your fear of being totally alone is precisely what you must explore and ultimately surrender. The ego-mind hates it of course and will be resistant, trying to anchor itself into something, anything to avoid Absolute Nothingness and Total ONENESS.

@SoothedByRain Man she’s one trip from nonduality. Great shares! Thanks!

It's definitely a thing. We've had folks on this forum reporting natural tolerances, like you. And folks on Reddit report tolerance too. LSD is an awesome psychedelic. I find it second-best to 5-MeO. I've had really deep states of nonduality on just 125ug. You are missing out.

@MarkusSweden you can’t say anything new to me about nonduality really. I was on that path for 2 years and was very damn hardcore on it. My point here is not to be dogmatic fanatic but to seek out the personal God. God is not mechanical and lifeless as many nondual teachers like to draw it. God is not it’s creation. God is separate from its creation. God is transcendental and does not reside in forms...

Why does it matter what do I think about these? As I’ve said sin is just a choice to be away from the God. We should battle sin in us not the person himself. Noone is sinless except the god himself and he was crucified to forgive our sins. All that is “required” from you is to seek and praise the god. But even that is your choice. God does not force anyone to make a choice like there is in nondual understanding. In the nonduality there is no choice, there is no personality you literally become dead. Go that route if you really want to... I have been there and I don’t recommend it as it is delusion.
