Well there you go, you’ve successfully answered your own question. That wasn’t too difficult was it.
 

It is a hypothetical situation not literal.

But you still haven't answered my question lol.

If we are critiquing people who are "trying to live nonduality".

What are these people practically actually doing to try and live nonduality.

They not stepping in front of buses are they.

I haven't met anyone who is trying to live nonduality.

No one is criticising, you’re misunderstanding, the simple statement no one can live nonduality is just an obvious self evident fact, that’s all, no need to make this into anymore than it deserves. I’m not interested in petty quibbling over stupid ideas.

I'm not quibbling at all, trying to understand. You said "What I think is stupid, and Tim Freke has also pointed out is when we try to actually live nonduality".  I'm just trying to imagine what someone who is trying to live nonduality, might actually be thinking or doing. (Easy for vibes to get lost in translation here on the internet.)

Don’t overthink this. Words are crap, they’re full of noise and fury signifying nothing.

Its just another boring story for no one.

Come on you posted a video about changing our minds about nonduality. 

I thought it was meant to be discussed.

I'm simply commenting on the phrase "trying to live nonduality"

If we're saying it's a silly idea to try and live nonduality.

This seems to imply that there are people who think it's possible to live nonduality.

So I was simply wondering about the mindset of the people to whom Tim's commented was referring to.

Not a big deal really.

You answered your own question. 
 

Again no one is criticising people here. The stupidity is a self trying to live without a self, it wasn’t supposed to be understood as a someone trying to live without themself or others. Even I understand that,and I’m just a girl.

Figure it out for yourself, I’m just a messenger with a message, I can’t make up your mind or change it for you, that’s for you to work on.

self trying to live without a self

Okay, so this is all I'm genuinely curious about.

What is an actual practical example of a self trying to live without a self ?

ie, what type of actions or behaviour might such a person demonstrate ?

That's not what I meant. I simply enjoy discussing things.

It’s a hypothetical idea, nothing to get hung up on.

You can discuss things until the cows come home but at the end of the day only you can make your mind up about what is being discussed as to what there is there that makes sense or not, to you personally.

Aha, so no one actually believes they can live nonduality.

Your blessed bliss will not protect you from the horror that is burning to death when the sun eventually swallows the earth.

When life lights your ass on fire, make barbecue.

The bliss word is very underwhelming.

I find it pretty whelming... it's just as whelming as any other word imo.
