too wrapped up in neo-advaitan crap. 

Neo-advaitans seem to be obsessed with saying no.  They love that.

I mean...look..I get it.  Its not like they are wrong. I don't doubt a Jim Newman is enlightened.  I just think the no you stuff is way overplayed where it does turn things into a belief system.  And people that come aboard will jump aboard if you know what I mean.  I just find it very dangerous.

Watch those two videos and look at how he relishes saying no like a stubborn kid almost.  It's weird once you see it.

Those videos are so good!  The interaction is amazing!  It think they are good for understanding what is going on with neo-advaita.

Totally.  It's one of the best ever.

Participation trophies. People intellectualize and philosophize non-dual teachings without directly being conscious or at least shifting their state of consciousness, and they learn the password of "there is no self" lol

I tried to listen to Peter Ralston the other day and got thru maybe 5 mins of the video.  No offense to anyone who gets value from his work.  

What did you not like about his work? Curious.

The vibe.

I get the same vibe from his work you do..

I can tell something about you. Your intuition is off the charts

I have a respect for feeling.  It's a complex subject though.  Intuition may be a form of feeling.  But yeah!  It's a kind of seeing.

Its like you can see through me.  Your intuition is very strong.  Thats one of the most essential aspects of intelligence

I wouldn't say that, necessarily, but if I met you in person my intuition would be stronger (in the sense of accuracy).  Intuition runs on what information we have access to.

Anyways Ralson has good stuff but for me I didn't really need it because you have Leo's stuff which he drew from Ralston and many other teachers. What I love about Leo was how his unending thirst for truth allowed him to gather from all of the greatest teachers and then put it all together in a simple way where anyone could understand.

I feel like every Creator in a certain artform has good stuff.  There's some doozies in there too, of course!

Consider the possibility that you might have too many ideas about the word.

I was not referring to you specifically but the problem of projecting in general.

I said „sounds weird” for the sake of politeness. To translate: I think what you’re saying is bs. „God knows everything”. What does this mean? Why are you framing it that way? Yes, what you’re saying is weird and tells me that your understanding is not direct. And you didn’t elaborate like I asked.

Your points weren’t „logically consistent”. They were incorrect in their dualistic nature. God is not „in everything”. God IS EVERYTHING! So don’t cover your arguments with „logicality” please. God is above the logic you’re implying.

And please don’t imply that I’m only coming from some vibe-oriented perspective. I don’t appreciate it. Not „conceptually informed”, bruh… consider this might be what you have too much of. A lot of words, but not enough truth.

Yes, only THIS exists. Only this moment exists. This isn’t complicated.

To imply that there’s something beyond This is fantasy and being lost in concepts.

If you understood „my” solipsism as dualistic, then you are making an effort to misunderstand me. Sorry.

If you want direct: the fact of the matter is anything can exist, and denying that anything can exist has nothing to do with non-duality.

Even more direct: there is no "this" in my direct experience. That's a projection. Show me "this". You can't.

Ultimately, to me your understanding is dualistic and overconceptualized. There is not a directedness to your words. Which is a shame.

I have no intention to pursue this discussion with you specifically any longer. After I wrote this response, I only found it a detraction from truth and a waste of time.

Here is a 3-minute "overly conceptualized" deconstruction of solipsism having anything to do with non-duality, if my words (and Ramana lineage student Michael James') are too complicated:

I know you are a fan of Spinoza as am I. Marcus Aurelius is among my favorites.

@Carl-Richard who are you favorite philosophers?

[Inliytened1]

I think Descartes has to be there somewhere but I dont wanna list him too high because he got a lot of shit wrong.
