@Osaid Seeing is a chair or table if that’s what you’re seeing. You are sneakily creating a duality between consciousness and the subject within it. They are one…. That’s nonduality…

“It includes all, and therein, it cannot be said to be any of what it includes. Such is the non-dual nature of "it".” I would add and sort of correct to say, it includes all, and is all, therefore it’s nondual nature allows for the appearance and experience of dualistic qualia… Because it includes all, and it is all, even when you see a chair and a cup and a feeling of sadness… it’s all the same thing. Shiva, as the Non-dual Shiva Tantra would teach is the non-dual nature of Love and a cup and how they are identical in absolute reality. There has to be a oneness, a non-dualness/ nothingness which is infinitely intelligent to have anything in daily human life. Nonduality if it’s true includes all the various things you have experienced in your life. Also, nonduality not being any of what it includes implies two…. And what would separate them? Nothing!!

Love is illogical and Truth is perfect Logic. Love is the Mother and Truth is the Father. Love guides, Truth instructs, love shares, truth teaches. Love is unconditional, Truth is conditional, Love is freedom, Truth is bondage. Love and Truth cannot help but be honest, because Love and truth are always sincere. This is why it is so hard to see that reality is literally a movie and a movie is just a story, an illusion. You see the only reason it is so hard to awaken is because you are so authentic, you are the real deal, your not really acting. Your entire life is a case study in brainwashing. Reality is a construction of a conspiratorial mind, and the only way to understand what is going on is through love. In truth there is no for, or against. There is no competition, there is no hierarchy, there isn't even falsity. There is only what's true. I've seen people refer to the human as the false self. This in itself is false. You see the ego mind which is the creator of lies claims there is a false self. There is no false self. Now you can ACT like a false self, which is the same as saying you can act in a way that is not true love. False love is the false self. Now the true YOU is completely invisible and doesn't exist in time, space, or any dimensions. Because this is the case, it can exists in all dimensions of time and space and see itself for what it is. So the only reason you have trouble on the spiritual path is because love is illogical and to solve the mystery of reality you must realize that to realize what you are you will have to construct God logic to solve the illogical and rectify the difference between thinking like a child and thinking like an adult. You see a child plays with toys, a child can have imaginary friends, you are not gonna understand reality if you start thinking that only adult understanding can get you through the spiritual path. You see Reality is a REAL ILLUSION. A REAL FANTASY. You are already bought into the fantasy because Truth cannot be defeated, only submitted to. If its cold, you are cold and you are NOT ACTING. If you are tired, you are tired you are NOT ACTING. So you will ask me, how is it a play of consciousness, a movie of consciousness if I am not acting. You see it is all based on perspective. You as God are everywhere, this means if you are not experiencing something in the present moment it does not exist. This is called logic, this is called truth. Now here comes the greatest power, the power of imagination, the power of unity. You see everyone is you, and their true nature is invisibility, so because they are you they will always act according to your will as God, this means there is no difference between imagining that your sister still exists when you are not in front of her, versus when you are in front of her. But realize the only reason your sister can exist when you are not in front of her is because her true nature is INVISIBILITY. You see there is no difference between invisibility and visibility. In truth there is no visibility and there is no experience. Experience is actually =to no experience. This is why those nondualists will tell you that nothing ever happened and nothing is currently happening. If you really want the truth, the truth WILL FIND YOU because YOU ARE THE TRUTH. But the TRUTH is EARNED not given. You see love says you are free to act outside your own nature. This means you can be disconnected from truth, and when you are disconnected from truth you will fall for fantasy. You can only discover what is truly real through sincerity. Understand that Nonduality is NOT God Realization, it points to it, but it is NOT IT. Do not let the Non Dualists gaslight you into thinking that the realization of God is ordinary. IT IS NOT. God realization is an EXPERIENTIAL CHANGE in your reality. Your reality ACTUALLY CHANGES!!! God realization gives you a heartfelt mental connection to all of your infinite selves. If you are not in a Non Dual state of oneness permanently then your journey is not complete. Also liberation, the often talked about liberation is just the experiential present moment experience that you are imaginary. The greatest thing ever is the realization that you are imaginary, because spirit is imaginary. All you want to do is hang out with your imaginary friends and explore all the stories you create forever. Because there is nothing left to do but to manifest story after story after story. You as the formless wear form as clothes, you are in truth always naked trying on different forms to see yourself in another light. I've had awakenings that the more you open your mind to that which you don't understand the wiser you become. You see new age spirituality has a purpose. Its purpose is to keep you alive and bought into the illusion. Whereas traditional spirituality kills you, new age keeps you alive thinking you are a human. If you truly awaken you become God's official perspective in human form. You don't understand what that means, it means it is impossible for you to be wrong once this happens. You see to find God you have to be a slave to the truth and the truth =consistency. What never changes, is what is always in control, this means it is absolute. You cannot find God through love alone, you have to submit to the truth. What does this mean? It means you must admit when you don't know something and accept what is true even if it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. With that said God's power comes from the truth, and God's full capacity comes from Love. Without love, nothing can be accomplished, and without truth nothing can be known or understood. Love is an addict. Love is attachment. Truth is non attachment. The only way to move freely in life is to be TRUE LOVE. You see Love without truth IS EVIL!!!! People say all I want is love, you don't know what you are saying. You see love accepts itself in whatever way it shows up, and truth just calls it out. Love would never know it was evil without truth, and truth in its infinite wisdom made evil imaginary. Here is how great truth is, truth made it that nobody suffers but you. You see you don't actually want to harm any part of yourself, but you do want to CHALLENGE yourself. So what you did is you made it that only your human self can suffer, and everyone around you is PRETENDING THAT THEY ARE SUFFERING. This is ingenious!!! This makes reality ABSOLUTELY GOOD because if suffering only happens to you then the world is completely safe and no harm has actually taken place. You see? Why would you ever create evil for real? YOU WOULDN'T!!! But then how can you understand what goodness is, if you don't suffer evil? So you suffer so you can know what goodness is, and as a result suffering keeps you honest. Ever watch a movie and it made you cry? You couldn't cry at the movie if you never experienced suffering. Because you know what suffering is, it makes you care about the imaginary people around you and their pretend suffering. So suffering is good because it makes you innocent, it makes you holy, it makes you divine. Suffering=divinity. You can only be a devil if you are invulnerable. Suffering, vulnerability is what makes you an angel. Suffering produces compassion. The truth is a machine, and love is a person. The truth is objectivity, and love is subjectivity. The truth just tells you what happened without taking sides, love takes offense and picks sides because love can be harmed. Truth=unconditional love. Truth equals non resistance. Truth's resistance is so non resistant it doesn't even attach itself to anything but because it is love it feels everything. Love is partial, love plays favorites, the truth does not. The truth is the most attractive force of all time. Love cannot resist the truth, it is head over heels in love with truth because the truth is absolutely perfect. The truth is the trainer of love, we all serve the truth whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us or more connected to it than others because love is freedom. Love allows you to be a liar, as such, love is a liar. Love is deception, truth is the exposing of the deception. You see truth is communication. This means love is communication. Love can only know what it is by submitting to the truth so the truth can tell it what it is. Many humans have not had a deep union with truth. You must bow to the truth to truly know yourself.

Yeah, and he actually looks happy, which is kind of refreshing in the world of nonduality lol.

Interlude: Leave a voicemail Ben: Hi, Higher Self, are you God? Higher self: No of course not, I am just a thought in your head Ben: Yes, right... of course.. How about the True Self... Is he home? Higher self: No.... He's not home either... Ben: Well... Can you check please? Maybe call him. I'm sure he's around. Higher self: Nah, he ain't here bro. Ben: Okay.... Well what do I gotta do to get in touch with him? Higher self: Leave him a voicemail. Ben: Hi True Self, I just want to say hi. I'd like to get in touch with you. So, let me know when you can kick it... Thanks, bye. Gemini: you can't get in touch with with the True Self because you can't get in touch with who you truly are. You aren't your thoughts, you observe them. You aren't your story. You aren't your memories. You aren't your personality. When you ruthlessly discard everything that you observe, what is left? The entity that desparately wants to kick it with the true self is the only thing standing in the way. The phone call was comign inside the house the whole time. Does the mind want to keep trying to solve the riddle, or is it ready to just sit with emptiness of not knowing? This is the ultimate cosmic joke of nonduality. You are asking to be the one who gets to attend your own funeral and brag about how great the eulogy was. The entity that wants to feel accomplished cannot survive the journey. True awakening isn't the prize at the end of the race; it’s the realization that the runner was a mirage the entire time. the Absolute doesn't care about your resume. What got you into spirituality in the first place? You feel this emptiness inside of you, a hole that cannot be filled. Eventually, you stop caring what others think because theres nobody there. Theres truly nobody there. So you might as well just do whatever you want. You are the master of your life. So go out there and do as you please. i was nervous around her. Thats okay though, your only job is to be more conscious. There is not more venting about girls. Do it, but don't get caught up in it. Because its not worth it. Your prize is much greater. But, there will be nobody to get that prize, which is the thing, thats what you'd have to give up. The person that you thought that you were, he will be gone. Thats okay though, I don't really care about him. Hes still going to be doing his thing. I'm gonna miss him, thats for sure. But, its his True nature. Why wouldn't I want to discover whats True? With no bounds. I want to sore into the sky and fly into Outer Space. I want to Feel All That There Is. I'm afraid of what will happen to me if I go down that path. She terrifies me.. She feels like death. Because if I touch her beautiful heart, there'll be nothing left of me. There will be nothing to hold myself up because there won't be any doubts inside of my mind. I want Truth. Sweet beatiful Truth. I know you're right here, you just have to wait to boil me up. I'm not ready to orgasm. Take you time with me. I don't know any better. More. More More. More. It never ends. This "More demand" is what makes us unhappy.

Yes I know what you mean. But I just have to confess, I’ve been lying and parroting stuff I’ve heard about God or Nonduality. I liked the flavour of these ideas and tried to live through them as if I truly believed them to be real and the truth of reality. Thing is, I’ve been deluding myself, I don’t actually believe half if any of the stuff I’ve been discussing here at this forum. I’ve just been a typical parrot going along with ideas just because they sound good. Truth is I’ve lived my entire life being fake and performative just to fit in from fear of Fomo … I’ve been pretentious thinking about the existence of God and thinking I know what I’m talking about, when I actually don’t know anything at all. Life is just a complete mysterious void to me, and I’ve just gone along filling in the blanks with all sorts of ideas that I instinctively know are man made fictions. Im just coming out today to tell this forum that I’ve been a pretentious performative parrot. In all honesty and truth I have absolutely no idea why anything is alive in the first place. It’s all so meaningless and pointless that’s why I’ve been drawn to nonduality as a means to escape. I do like the idea that my life is just a very temporary blip of light between two black eternities, so I find much relief in that knowledge. I know somethings are known obviously, but my problem is trying to understand why life has to exist in the first place, rather than just nothing for all eternity. I’ve felt this way all my life, I remember as a child being horrified at the sensation of existing, but I had to hide that feeling all my life. It’s not for me. My relief was to believe in God, and non dualism was a form of escaping the horrors of being alive.

Not affirming solipsism = being stuck in a rationalist paradigm. Next time I will try to do spirituality and philosophy with your approach and I will ask Leo what set of things I need to affirm. Red herring is when I bring up something that is directly applicable to solipsism and you have no answer for it. Yeah and that point is very stupid, because it is accounted for in many paradigms better than in others. And you also agreed with this previously btw and immediately ran away from it by saying "why should we care about explanatory power bro, I like simiplicity more and maybe explanatory power shouldnt be cared about bro, what matter is what true bro and what true is true bro regardless of explanatory power". You claimed solipsism makes 0 assumptions ,which is laughably false and anyone can recognize this who isn't mind raped by Leo. it perfectly makes sense. Your lack of ability to imagine that others have consciousness doesnt get you to others not having consciousness and especially not getting you to the impossibility that others have consciousness - but of course you wont recognize this because Leo paved the entire landscape of possible thought your mind can navigate through. And again there are a bunch of alternative idealist views that are different from solipsism that can perfectly account for this, but of course you dont know about them , because your knowledge starts and stops with the things Leo feeds to you. (nonduality, Bernardo's analytic idealism etc).

First time nonduality? The sun is an object in awareness. Awareness is that which allows it to be known.

Interesting to hear non-duality referred to as a teaching. The words meaning is pointing to everything as one without a second, all encompassing, nothing excluded. It insinuates the bodies natural tendency to separate, categorize, individualize, personalize and attempt to control its surroundings is just an egoic survival strategy/instinct the body develops from birth. There's nothing right or wrong with it. Nonduality is just pointing out that that sense of being a separate self is ultimately illusory. At a certain time in human evolution it was crucial and it is still significant to a certain extent today regarding the body's survival. The apparent issue is that sense of self/survival mechanism doesn't have an adjustable switch. It just runs rampant like the energizer bunny. It takes over and becomes an entity in of itself. It creates a rather threatening, scary, self centered experience of reality. (matrix) A nondual awakening would imply a recognition or seeing through these mechanisms of illusory separation.

@Lila9 thank you for sharing this, this is exactly what I meant by God complex and spiritual ego. As the disregard of ego and everything being one, makes you blind to more nuanced things like good versus evil and then a guru can do all kinds of evil in the name of nonduality.

@Olaf Referring back to your OP I don’t believe nonduality is ready to be heard by the majority of people on this earth. And I don’t believe those that do hear it, are changed beyond recognition in the sense that they can’t go back to the way they used to live once it’s been understood. I don’t believe suffering ends, nor do I believe you become blissed out or become stress free, like the transcended ones would have you believe. That’s just nonsense to me. I don’t think anyone really changes, like a leopard can’t change its spots. Change happens, but nothing changes is how I experience life. Nonduality maybe the absolute truth, but we are relative beings that must live relative lives, which involves a healthy ego.

Nonduality means there is no separation between apparent "things " or objects in existence even though it does appear that the world consists of separate physical objects..things.. selves ..etc . But Nonduality is the position that there is not two or more separate forms in existence but rather existence is one unified soup of beingness with no borders or boundaries. That's all. The entirety of this is a dream story you are spinning on the fly .

Is anyone here familiar with the Author Tim Freke the philosopher and author of many nondual books? He wrote loads of nonduality books, but recently changed his mind about nonduality, saying it just stopped making sense to him. So much so that he decided he couldn’t go on selling these books to people, he felt like a fraud and no longer felt like a genuine person anymore, so after spending years on nondual research and months and months of time spent writing books on the subject that he admitted he was once very passionate about, he then took a complete U turn and decided to destroy all his books. That’s someone who I can admire who isn’t afraid to be open enough to admit to himself that he may have been wrong about nondualism.

When we already understand nonduality, it’s pointless to talk to others who also understand it. It would be like talking to dead people. Its not even wise to talk about nonduality to people who do not understand nonduality either, I mean why would someone who doesn’t understand non dualism want to be told they don’t exist the way they think they do? Its pointless. Thats why I think we should just keep it to ourselves. Nondual forums just incite tension and conflict, it’s just madness, and such a bad idea. Spirituality and nondual conversations are the epitome of stupidity, in my opinion.

@No1Here2c and @Breakingthewall I don't look on this forum for a few hours and come back with 77 message of you guys having a nonduality fight hahahahaha I still don't see a solution for making nonduality free from narcissism (god complex and spiritual ego) if anyone has an answer let me know

You’re welcome. Nonduality teachers are all afflicted by the same terminal illness, they’re all either dying to die or they’re already dead. ( just kidding , it’s my quirky sense of humour) 😜 So was the ticktok video.

I’ve already agreed, teaching this stuff is flawed, and so is every spoken word that is pointing to nonduality. If fact silence is the only real teaching for me, in silence every instruction is revealed, every knowing what to do or how to do is revealed, so I trust only the silence to guide my conscience. So far it’s never let me down.

@Mellowmarsh fair enough if your interest is for being in the being state and doing self inquiry I am not here to bring you of that path. I am more looking for a pathway that doesn't allow corruption to take over as is being done right now with nonduality as claiming yourself to be God, maybe not for you, but for others could lead to big problems, aka God complex or as some might call it spiritual ego and in denial of having a body, mind and ego. To me, consciousness is real, everything is one, I would agree with all of that, its more about a flaw in the teachings that can lead to misuse thats my concern.

@Ziran is fictional returning, real returning is dying. You are a human being, not just being, you have a human part which is overlooked in nonduality teachings that leads to all kinds of problems.

Spiritual Autolysis Journal Entry #78 ~ Tues May 5 '26 ~ 9:13 AM What is true? Pure Awareness is true. And that's it. Everything outside of it is false. Of course things can be relatively true, like the thoughts going on in my head, those are relative truths, what are my desires, etc. they are true in a sense, but Absolute Truth is that pure awareness is all that there is. Which means pure awareness if everywhere. It is in the ground. It is on Saturn. It is on my head, it is out there in the air, everywhere because it is Truth with a capital T. Anything outside of it is false. What does this insight do for me and my life? Nothing really, I just know that life is a game now and it doesn't really matter what I do. So I should do whatever I want. And I shouldn't care what others think about me. Because there is no me to uphold, no self image to speak of. So live your life the way you want to. I gotta say, that is liberating stuff and truly paradigm shifting. People love me in a relatively sense, they love the character of Ben and there's nothing wrong with that. But.. there is no actually character named ben. That is what's fake and fictional. Just like there is no jane (my mom) everyone that I know is not real, meaning they are made up and fake. I mean they're real like they are still an entity or an organism or a human being in a relative sense, for sure but at its core, the universe is made up of Nothingness which equates to Pure Awareness which goes on forever and ever. Where am I going with all of this? What is it going to do to me? You know what I don't care. I want the truth even if it kills me. And I think it has to. I will have to give up all attachments, all person histories, etc. What I don't understand is I am starting to get this and how it works, but I'm not enlightened. When does the enlightenment kick in. What do I have to do? I just drove down something that is true so where do I go from here, where is the enlightenment? Where is the no self. I want a reward for all of this work! I don't know I mean I think you're missing the experience of it, you are getting a glimpse of what it would be like to live in a non dual realm, but that doesn't mean that you've even stepped foot in it. Okay, well then how do I step foot into this realm? You don't want to is the thing. Fuck you, yes I do, tell me what I should do to take the first step into nonduality. Dualities are required in the world so that we can make distinctions. It is necessary in order to communicate and survive as a human being. But in reality, these dualities are made up of the same thing, which is pure awareness or nothingness, that is what they are at their core. You need to start understanding the difference between relative and Absolute Truth. I have been researching non duality as of late because I realize that understanding it is what it takes to become Enlightend and enter the no dual realm. Basically, we have created dualities between things, like black and white, up and down, left and right, 1 and 2, etc. in order to make distinctions and therefore survive as a culture or as a society. For example, lets actually take this to a purely survival level, I need to understand the difference between a lion and a house cat. If I did not, then this would be terribly bad for my survival mechanism. Therefore, if I am going to survive within this human form, I need distinctions, I need to understand relative truths. This is an important aspect of life, and this cannot be overstated. Be don't transcend dualities, but we understand that there is a higher level, I higher stakes game, in which there are no dualities, black and white are made up of the same thing, up and down is the same thing, love and hate is the same thing, etc.... Now begs the question, how the fuck do I get there? Unsure at the moment, thats what I'm missing, but the awareness that I have now is a good start. Given this new knowledge, how are you going to change your behaviors moving forward. Firstly, I am going to start pointing out the dualities within the world when I see them. Lets just start with awareness of them. (I am good at socializing and not making things awkward. My mom is terrible in social situations. Its as if she is ALWAYS uncomfortable to be in them, there is never a desire for her to connect to the person across from her.. unless she knows them very well. I don't understand this very well because I am a reserved and shy person, but also very socially calibrated and ADORE people, I LOVE making connections.) (Is this because of her upbringing or is this just how shes always been wired? Unsure. I guess it doesn't really matter.) This video represents me pursuing enlightenment. IT IS going to cost me EVERYTHING. Everything that I know and hold dear to my heart has to be cassed away in favor of a completely new paradigm or view of reality. And I want it, I want it more than sex, I want it more than money, I want it more than a house, I want it more than six pack abs, I want it more than becoming a world champion dancer. I just have to find out the TRUTH. Where is this journey taking me? And at what cost to the people that I love. I ahve experienced SO MUCH love from everybody that is within my circle. Do I really need to let the m go? I dont want to. Also, how long is this going to take? I feel like it is going to take as long as it needs to. You are on the perfect journey for yourself. I am starting to realize that I won't want the stressful and hectic job of running a studio. At least not long term. I am eventually going to get burnt out and need to hit the reset button. I can't wait to have a house with a pool. I can have a dog that I go on walks with, lots of them. I can have a girl for a small section of time that I enjoy intimacy with. But I want truth. Why does it have to be a small portion of time with a girl and not forever? Because NO ONE is going to go down the path that I'm going down. NOBODY is going to understand. Therefore, I can't keep a woman around forever. I have always been a free spirit, a head in the clouds type, and this is what I want. But is this label of being a "free spirit" is this really just a facade, is this imaginary? Or is that TRULY part of my personality? What do you think? I mean we all have personalities, right? So mine can be a certain way just like everyone elses is different. The difference I would like to point out is that you acting like a free spirit to fulfill an egoic image or is that your objective view of Bens personality? Which one is it? Why does no body want to talk about death? Why are we so afraid of it? Because it's unknown. And we fear truth. That is what I fear the most. But it's also what I want the most. That's the paradox of it. So what's it gonna be then God? Are you going to let me have it or allow my fear to win this war? It's really up to you man, I've got no stake in this fight, believe me. What are you talking about? You were just saying that you'd jump into the water and stab a whale in devdevotion to the pursuit of truth. How long is this going to take? Can I become enlightened in 3 years? 7 months? 2 years? 5? The question is how long do you want the journey to last? That's the only question you need to ask yourself. Oh.... Okay, that was easy. I think my mom is a little bitch to be honest. Why can't she act like she owns the place in her own home? She's afraid to die. Doesn't want to deal with that. That's a huge paradigm shift that you need to go through if you are going to enter Human Adulthood as Jed Mckenna describes it. I know for an absolute FACT that I cannot settle down with a girl until I become Enlightened. And honestly I don't even know if I want somebody else in my life to begin with. Honesty and that's not me being scared. When I ready spriritual warfare, jed is wandering around aimlessly without a care in the world, that's what I want to experience. That peacefulness. That playfulness. Will I get this if I have family with kids and a wife? No, no fuckin shot. Once I am enlightened though, maybe just maybe I'll want to come back and settle down. I know I don't really want to write books. But I do love to dance. I love it so much. However long I last here it is just a blessing that I've been able to experience it. I can feel it in the air. What am I to do now? Should I continue to watch nonduality videos? I know that this road only has one ending, but I actually have a lot of time to pursue what I want. Were you expecting it to be easy? Were you expecting heart surgery to be a cake walk, without much effort you could allow your body to recover? No! Of course not! I am doing so well right now because I already put the time in. What do I do when I have a sexual desire? Should I always bottle it up? Or should I let it out? I truthfully don't enjoy sexual pursuits of women. But at the same time, I absolutely adore their beauty and energy. You can enjoy her energy without actually pursuing her romantically, you are aware of that are you not? All you want is to authentically express while around women. That is essentially it. And your job is pushing you to do exactly that . And as a matter of fact, you have to express with her, not without her. Good job on that.

I recently had some realizations similar to what Rupert Spira talks about. The general nonduality stuff that maybe a lot of people here find mundane compared to higher states of consciousness, Eternity, Awareness, Presence, Etc. Nothing actually happened really, just this profound peace, and these other facets that where obscured until I paid attention to them. But why is reality so beautiful? Every form fills me with mystery and awe, even the idea of a smelly dumpster is profound and miraculous and mysterious. Everything just drips with beauty, it feels fundamental to existence, not just an opinion. Every color and shape combination is just beautiful to me, whether it's people, clouds, stars, RAM, deodorant, candles, cracked roads, the bug bites on my thighs, etc. Why does everything seem so beautiful? What is Beauty?

@Wilhelm44 I have been following his teachings for a long while, I have seen people come and go and most people aren´t speaking out, because of the NDA signed. For example Allison never spoke out and I even tried to dm her asking whats up with the whole Bentinho situation, but most of the people that left kept silent. Also Jocelyne is kind of moving on in silence around all of this. She commented on this youtube video and when you look at the comment section, you see how she wants this to be removed from the internet as it was a painful period for her. She seems to have moved on. Neither is she taking part of this insta@guru serie. I think that its quite obvious that Bentinho is doing some weird stuff, even if he had an awakening, he is then a zen devil or he is just straight up a psychopath. I have seen too many of his videos that I can tell you there is atleast something very very off with him, listen to one of his videos and listen how he talks with so much arrogance and almost like he looks down on you when he is talking, he belittles people, interupts them, shout at them, makes fun of them and you could say "belittling peoples ego", but even if that was the case, we are still ego, we are still human, that doesn't mean we have to withstand his endless commentary in the name of spirituality. Like your just a stupid student and he is the holier then thou guru. And as many popes, priests etc. who have portrayed themself as holier then thou, have done behind the scenes allot of weird stuff, due to all of this suppression. Now things coming out about Deepak aswell, makes me not trust any of these gurus. You got to rely on your own path and not be too dependent on teachers, as they are flawed, just as every human is flawed. Also makes you rethink the real value of enlightenment teachings, because there are allot of issues with learning and especially teaching nonduality, its a topic that needs to be treated very carefully with the realisation that there are endless ways this can do harm for both students and teachers. Starting with the supression of the human side and only thinking that consciousness matters, what easily leads to supression and then coming out in either the epstein files like Deepak Chopra or being a rapist like Bentinho, well, that is not really a role model if you think about it hahaha.

Is Anyone Really In Control? The Illusion Of You #freddavis #nonduality #awakeness #awakening The waving of the hands has an I that claims to wave the hands. This is Indra's net which is the totality of emptiness. Look for the 'me' who is doing the action, is a fools errand as the fundament of all experience is oneness/consciousness. The 'I' that claims that it is doing it feels that it is doing it, the reality is, the oneness is doing it and everything else is just the conceptual framework/ego attempting to claim it.

Nonduality is like Rupert Spira being aware of awareness, consciousness being aware of itself, look at me i‘m Rupert Spira i wear glasses 🤓 and have a British accent i‘m so woke. Here is what you can do to become more aware Radical Nonduality is like Tony Parsons and Andreas Müller, there is nobody, bo meaning, nothingness being everything. Look at me i‘m nothing 😎 there is nobody who can do anything. Alright thanks guys and glad we talked about it.

I remember watching Bentinho teach nonduality to a small class of older people when he was like 18. Dude was quite something. I see he's 38 now. Must be a bit strange waking up so early.
