About my videos: These videos are a resource for anyone wishing to wake up from the dream of separation. Awakening, enlightenment, and liberation are becoming far more mainstream possibilities than they once were. There are many good teachers out there, and if you resonate with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, or Sadhguru, you might find resources here that address these deeper promptings to investigate your true nature.

The inquiries presented herein are potent and can have powerful effects on the way you experience yourself and reality. If you feel you are at risk of harming yourself or others, these videos and practices may not be the best thing for you at the moment. Seek help wherever necessary which might include a hospital emergency department, a suicide helpline etc.

    Finding something deeper is all part of the dream. You cannot not be who you are. Thoughts or no thoughts of any kind will not benefit or cause lack for that what you are. It is whole and complete already for no one. You are that no one, and not even that.

    This was really helpful to me. You described these thoughts so well. I'm only now Having glimpses of what I havnt noticed. More often than not lost wandering in the wanting not wanting how it was how it will be thoughts. The process is slow, conditioning is strong, even when u Aware of the conditioning. I appreciate the videos like this. Short n powerful

    My mind made a koan for me the other day…not sure if I heard this somewhere else at some point but I noticed this thought so clearly the other day and it made me laugh really hard for a while: if there is no beginning where do you start ? And if there is no finish line how do you measure how far you have gone or how far you still need to go ?

    Great Koan. Very provoking. Do you make your own background animations? They are exquisite If you do... what program do you use? I thought of a Koan the other day after meditation: What is it that can not be understood?

    People have substantial, conditioned emotional issues from childhood. How do you address the conditioning of an adult who had hateful parents? Freud's observation of things like repetition neuroses cannot be dismissed and yet all "thought," as you define it, can be equally addressed by your approach.

    You ask a question, but don't want an answer. Interesting. No thinking involved, yet it presents as an intellectual question. As an artist, I quote Shelly Berman - I know the sound of one hand clapping... but math was never a strong suit, so division has always presented problems. No answer here.

    i think i was just convinced that Buddhists are fence sitters... i know there has been counters to Buddhists being collaborators through inaction, that some people say Buddhists ought to be activists... but this video kinda pushed me into the camp to think Buddhists are fence sitters... it made me think about where Buddhists sit on the class divide, Marxists analysis.

    You speak in very general terms, philosophical. This isn't about philosophy, it is about your direct experience of something more real than all of those concepts, or it is useless.

    This was entertaining, as an example of how people without much real understanding of, or training with koans think koans work and what they are. Please though, go and actually work with a qualified Koan teacher. Whilst entertaining, this may make you some money, but has little to do with genuine koan training and is misleading those who are genuinely searching. Koan training and teaching is not a grift.
