Love is not empty, gurl. It's not unconditional, but you just will never learn. I accept the flaws that you don't, and vice-versa. Pick an object, and love it. Take your lava-lamp for example. It's beautiful. But what is it, exactly? You can take it apart. It doesn't feel pain like you, but it's made of the same stuff. You gotta know what it is.
Nice hair cut 🗿
Original Video 21/7-24: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iK1lo6ebqMnNqLg.html "Exploring Consciousness: From Separate Self to Everything and Nothing" So as long as there is a sense of a separate "I," is it possible to experience big consciousness? Actually, with big consciousness, you can't ever experience it. So even when there's no "I" there, it cannot be experienced because it's not a thing in the world. It's all things and no things. But, um, but... So what has to happen in the beginning is the identification with the seeking, which creates an illusory "I," has to drop. And then there has to be an experience of going back into pure consciousness and the nothing and everything. And then eventually, after a while, the character comes back. And then there is a living between being a character and not being a character. And when that comes about, then it's kind of consciousness is always known, but not by someone. It's like you're on the precipice of nothing and everything. But there is still a character, there is a character that comes back in order for functioning to happen. Because when you have the samadi experiences or you have the experience of going back into the absolute, it can be very disarming with human functioning. You can't really function. So a lot of teachers go into silence for many years or into retreat for many years because it's so absorbing that not much can happen. So eventually what has to happen is the character has to come back to an extent in order to allow more complex functioning to happen. But it's different for everyone in the end. So I say this, but that's from my own experience and from what I've read from other people. But I don't know if that's the same for everyone. Who knows in the end? These things that we're talking about are so specific and unknowable.
Sound quality of speaker needs attention because it's difficult to hear important message clearly.

Exploring the Journey from Body Image to Self-Acceptance: A Personal Story of Liberation Original Video 21/7-24: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iK1lo6ebqMnNqLg.html
And today the title is called "The Paradox of Nonduality." As usual, I did not think of the title-oops, I did not think of the title, I copied it off someone else, which ended up being me. I've used this title before, "The Paradox of Nonduality," but I didn't really realize until I picked it. Okay, so we shall begin. Now I have to think, what is the paradox of nonduality? Is it paradoxical, and what did I say in the last video? Am I going to contradict myself? I can't remember what I said. So we shall begin. Just a bit of a disclaimer: my preference-I don't even know if it's my preference-I mean, the preference here, the preference that arises, is that I prefer to mostly speak on pointing to nonduality rather than heavily focusing on the illusions and the karma in each body-mind. That's what happens. I think it's great if you listen to other teachers who are more interested in pointing out the karma or pointing out the illusions in everybody, pointing out the psychology, but that's not so much what I do here. What I feel like happens here is I'm inviting everybody into meditation, and that happens by two things: the continuous pointing back to the stillness of what you are, or the emptiness of what you are, combined with the words not coming from me as such. I laugh at that because it's such a funny thing to say, even though everybody's into nonduality. It's also a strange thing to proclaim. Anyway, that's that. With this combination, I feel like these talks become a meditation. So they're not about helping you, although that can be an effect. They're not about fixing your karma or working out your psychology or pointing out your seeking dynamics or even imparting information, although all of that can happen. I feel like the primary element that I have as a teacher, or as a speaker of this, or a communicator of this, whatever we call it, is this sort of meditation that can be brought about when we share in this. It can happen on all different levels. It can happen for the person-the meditation can come about-or they can be a sinking beyond the person. It's kind of like a vortex that's sucking you into nothing. I feel like that's what happens here. Sometimes you may wish that I give a more eloquent or more psychological or more helpful feedback for the person, but the root which is being selected here is very energetical. It's a very fine line that has to be trod to stay in that, and I can feel when the energy moves away from that and goes into too much of the psychological. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, and the teachers that teach that aren't speaking from stillness. It's just what happens here, and that is the gift that happens here. There's no comparison-that's the mind, that's the illusion that likes to compare. "Well, my teacher is better than yours," or "This teacher is better than that," and "This is what's right and this is what's wrong," and "She should do this," and "She shouldn't allow this person to speak so long." That's what I get most feedback on, is people requesting that I don't let participants speak so long. That's quite funny. This evening I'm going to be joining Angelo in a talk from "Simply Always Awake," and I was listening to one of his talks just to work out the format in which he uses, and the person that was asking the question took a really long time. I wonder if he also gets this feedback. I really understand it though. When you're trying to ask a question, you're trying to find the question simultaneously while expressing how you feel, what you want, and then sometimes, for some people, it comes out in a rather large monologue, and then at the end of it they say, "I'm not really sure what the question is." And then you, as a speaker, say, "Me neither," but something always comes. Anyway, the disclaimer that I like to give but often forget is that if you need psychological help, there are so many teachings and advice out there. I have a reference page on my website which has so many different therapies, practices, energetic work, retreats, books-there's so much on there. Different teachers and there's so much more. I don't update it regularly enough actually. There's so many things that I'd like to put on there, but life happens and that doesn't. But, yeah, there's loads of stuff out there on the internet. The only thing that I would advise you is to find something that you like, a therapeutic practice or a meditation practice, and then stick with it. You can have a different therapeutic, different energetic, different meditation, but then try to stick with that one. Don't keep bunny hopping around into lots of different practices. Find one that suits you. Like, I have my energetic work that I do, different body works I do, and just stick with that for the rest of your life. Maybe there's some updates and evolutions of it, but I wouldn't jump around all the time. I would follow it through. But don't do it all on the mental level. You've got to have the energetic, the body. So you could do something like Ayurveda or Chinese medicine. You could do the chakras-yeah, my words are falling away. So you got to do body work to bring about health. That can also include yoga, qigong-these are all the same systems but just different practices. Breath work, then do a psychological so you understand the constructs of your personality structure, and you understand where they evolve from. Then you want to do emotional release, which I find somatic work really amazing. I do myself, it's like a combination between somatic work and then lining up my chakras. So you want all of those things included, and then the Nana yoga to understand the nonduality, and then maybe a practice that's focusing the mind, a meditation that's focusing the mind. So those are the elements, yes. Okay, now to the title: The Paradox of Nonduality. So let me talk a little bit about what nonduality is, then we will get into the paradox of it.
Concepts are dual to percepts -- the mind duality of Immanuel Kant. Time contraction is dual to length dilation -- the twin paradox. Time dilation is dual to length contraction -- Einstein, special relativity. Paradoxes are dualities!. Antinomy (duality) is two truths that contradict each other, a paradox -- Immanuel Kant. Absolute truth is dual to relative truth -- Hume's fork. Truth is dual to falsity -- propositional logic or truth is dual. Syntax is dual to semantics -- languages, communication or information. Objective information (syntax) is dual to relative information (semantics) -- information is dual. Enantiodromia is the unconscious opposite or opposame (duality) -- Carl Jung. Space is dual to time -- Einstein. "Always two there are" -- Yoda. Synergy (converging energy) is dual to energy (diverging energy) -- all energy is dual.

Original Video 21/7-24: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iK1lo6ebqMnNqLg.html Why this obsession with the difference between consciousness and awareness? It's like the Eastern version of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. It seems such a head trip. I always want to drop it and focus on the emptiness. Hey TK, yeah, totally. I understand that perspective, but sometimes, you know, because what we're teaching here is Jnana Yoga, the yoga of the thoughts. And so the mind gets twisted in so many different ways until it breaks. And there's all these funky, funky things that can be done with the consciousness and the awareness, but that's not what has to happen for everyone. And sometimes people go through a phase of thinking they are consciousness, and they cease... anyway, you're right, it doesn't matter in the end. It's all words, and the most important thing here is there is nothing looking. So there is experiencing happening, but that experiencing is for nothing and nobody. So the backside of everything is totally empty, and the front side of everything is totally full, and they come together like... yeah. So what is looking out, what is hearing, what is seeing? There's nothing here. And that emptiness is such love because it's merged with everything. It's also fullness, such love. And this is the end of suffering, this is the end of seeking, this moving back to that which is beyond the polarities of time and space. But, you know, for some people, it's important to go through this process of identifying with consciousness and identifying with these different aspects for them to then give it all up in who cares. Who cares? So I can totally get on board with that, as well as also giving people space and time to contemplate what consciousness is or isn't or awareness is or isn't.
We should get this message after birth when we’re capable of understanding.
5:00 👍 I LOVE 💚that you see facing the challenges of male aggression as simply "working out your karma!" -- what a divine way to stay centred(/centered) and maintain self-control. That's mastery on a different level. 😁
Note: The transcription is sometimes not completely correct. Listen to the audio for an accurate reproduction of the text Speaker 2: Where I usually feel it in my head but down into my chest a little bit Yeah Yeah okay so that's really important to recognize where you feel the fear because earlier in the talk I spoke about the going from the the interpretation of the thoughts down to the body so this is the important First Step I'm just going to give you steps but can but just as a disclaimer first of all like if I give steps and if I give an apparent prescription it cannot be a prescription because there isn't really a you and me so there's only a description of potential events that may or may not her so I just say that as a disclaimer first because um you know I don't want if in if after we talk and you don't do it or somebody else is thisen thing and they don't do it you know using it as a whip to beat yourself you know it's it's this may or may not happen so I will say some things and something may or may not happen just like everything really but it's really impersonal it's not you're doing but the first stage would be to recognize the feeling of the fear um so the in the head that's actually not really where you feel fear that's that's this it's been pulled up to the head from thinking about it but it's but it's good that you can feel it in the head so feeling is the important part but it's good that you can feel it in the chest fear actually most probably for most people belongs in the guts but the chakras begin to get all confused because of all the stories we tell so they get pulled up and you can feel fear in every chakra but it predominantly is in the guts and then it's in your heart because it's been pulled up into the heart and then there's a story in the heart so just as an example why it would be pulled up into the heart is because the fear is is that you're going to be abandoned or alone that's an example the fear of death is actually in the guts but because it gets interpreted Into the Heart area so it gets pulled up into the heart but this isn't also so important this is all mental stuff that I'm communicating to you so the first step is simply acknowledging where you feel it and you feel it in the heart so just let it let it be there if it's in the heart it's mostly be related to loneliness and abandonment of society and these types of things I'm not saying it is and I'm not asking you in this moment what it is but it's just if you can also acknowledge what the fear is about um that's good but the most important part is just the feeling the sensation of it and the acknowledging of the sensation of it once you've acknowledge the sensation of it and if you can acknowledge the the fundamentals of the fear the fundamentals of I'm going to die but it may be I'm going to die because I'm going to be abandoned as it's in the heart um then you want to try to focus the personal awareness so the ability to put you the the personal awareness is the ability to put your attention on your knee on your thoughts on the floor on the outside window on your hearing so that personal awareness you want to then try and focus it into the present moment and what's going to happen is you're going to keep it's going to feel like a battle but if you can rephrase it as not a battle as just a an amazing thing when it does happen because what it's going to keep going into thoughts cuz that's where it's used to going so you then you want to um focus it into the moment and you can do that in different ways you can do that by following the breath by putting it in the sensation of the I am or being or you can put it in itself so the peral awareness can be become aware of itself when you're doing this not ignoring the sensation of fear but not getting caught up in what I should do what I shouldn't do what's I'm doing wrong what I'm doing right every time you go off into F to any thought recognizing this as a thought and bringing the attention back and not excluding the physical Sensations because the physical Sensations are here right now that's that's all you need to do this is this is um this is focusing the thinking mind and it's acknowledging emotions it's not bypassing emotions and then and this is often what a lot of practices uh yogic practices recommend and they do it in various ways is becoming present and once that everything begins to settle which I know that you've experienced otherwise you wouldn't be into this subject at point then there will become a hole in that activity and you will SW through the Gap to not no mind where there's no effort and no mind and there's something Beyond mind um nigata in our book club that maybe it was with you actually yesterday in the book club about the the piece of paper and the whole in the piece of paper is such a brilliant analogy that it's it's the there is the piece of paper which is the practice that I've just described and then a pencil puts a hole in that piece of paper and then the light comes through that hole and that's nothing the paper's seemingly done but yet the hole is in the paper it's brilliant. Speaker 1: Yeah that was yesterday it's weird I'm nodding over here and then every time I do that I think oh no she can't see me my camera isn't that's strange mind is amazing how much it's working isn't it like yeah thanks that all sounds right on the money as far as yeah thought thoughts are really amazing you know it will try and catch you up you know that you're doing something wrong that you're it's very simple the the practice that's been given here but the mind will try to get you to go into it not because the mind is evil or a devil or anything but just because like the fruit fruits the Mind thinks there are sometimes I don't know about falling through in to like I suppose I get glimpses the all time but they come quite um what's that word infrequency that's word few and far between. Speaker 2: Yeah few and far between yeah and well yeah yeah Ken sorry I was say and sometimes yeah so I could wait for weeks and and sometimes something will inspire me I go oh yeah the present moment I forgot what I was doing here um but um but then instead of that I'm just just gonna bang bang away at it every day and yeah say so say this fear sorry I was oh yeah go do you want to say something what my what my um projection onto the situation would be and this is most probably from the immense training program I went through with Roger who me Roger was ultimately positive in every situation like oh I don't I sometimes feel like I shouldn't expose like talk about him too much you know I've never asked for I was going to tell a story of something that happened where I was just Amazed by his positivity but his positivity then affected me and for me to for one time in a lifetime to have fallen through that Gap to no mind is such an immense blessing to be interested in this subject is such an immense blessing life is suffering and most humans are for billions of lifetimes caught in desire and seeking something in the world to be going back to the source is such a blessing even if it's once in a lifetime this is an immense thing the illusion is um what what what could we call that terrific massive illusion is um all encompassing the the illusion is um the most amazing magic trick life has yeah um anyway just continue what I can I just say what I was saying just for a minute um yes I was trying to do the last few days just because you know this inspiration comes whenever it decides to which isn't as often as I'd like and um so I I'm trying to do just whatever um self inquiry thing um that seems to help um so like for example um what am I that isn't a thought or something like that I'm trying the last few days and I was watching one of Angelo's little short videos the other day and um reminded me I guess I'd seen before but he's like when you're watching for the next thought and then there's some kind of sneaky little subtle thought that's becomes the one who was doing the I kind of knew that but I was just watching becoming the one who was doing the practice and then the one who was I I was looking more closely for that more vigorously the last few days and when I look really closely for the one who's doing the practice nor amount of fear comes and I start to just suffocate with like I can barely breathe and I oh my God I'm going to die I'm going to die you know and I like oh that must be good you know fear is good keep
Original Video 21/7-24: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iK1lo6ebqMnNqLg.html Just because it's here I don't know if you can answer this but I'm just looking at it right now. I am yeah so I feel some so fear and sadness I guess you could say this morning right similar to many mornings and um it's the afternoon now isn't it but anyway um only just H only just for you only just for me yeah um and um so yeah part of me is like oh I feel fear so I have to face that because I have to be courageous I'm on the Awakening path face my fear and just you know and I'm facing and feeling the fear and and then after a while I'm going hold on is this real it's just a bunch of thoughts telling me I should be afraid about something that isn't even happening should I just be ignoring this so I just go let's just IGN notice the thoughts and ignore that just come back to the and then I feel Fe I go back and forth between those two places of face into the stuff and it's heavy and it's sad and it's fearful and I should face it and then I'm halfway through going hold on a second I'm just believing thoughts what am I doing and I should ignore it and then I feel I'm bypassing in some way because I actually feel the fear and the sadness and I'm going is that just because I was telling stories to myself all morning so far um so I feel I should just ignore it but I I don't know I'm just confused and it's not the first time yeah thoughts are incredibly confusing that's why uh in nity it's about going Beyond thoughts cuz thoughts are whenever we're like following thoughts we're confused even if people think they're not confused they must be confused to be not confused you have to have both so um it's the nature of thinking um so whereabouts do you feel the fear?
"I was wondering if you could elaborate a little on your experience surrounding your process of integration after your shift. Have you had the experience that a maturing has happened in the personality structure? Thank you so much and much love." Yeah, so, yeah, that's a really beautiful question. Thank you. I have, I would say, yes, in the apparent story, which never happened because we're just here and everything's empty and there is nothing. In the apparent dream life of this character, the character has been expanding and expanding more since the shift. So, there was the shift. There was lots of, prior to the shift, there was lots of understanding and seeing through this character. And then in the shift, the kind of seeking energy dropped and this was revealed and stabilized. But then, any karmas left in the body came up and presented themselves as obstacles in life. So, and any old seeking patterns that weren't resolved or particular karmas, that's kind of what life does, it presents us with our karma, really. And, you know, with the right attitude that everything here is to help expand, then nothing really is an obstacle, it's a lesson and a teaching. Yeah, so all different types. Yeah, incredibly beautiful, incredibly painful as well. Like, um, no, I don't want to go into stories, but, yeah, and that's the, I mean, that's even prior to Awakening, that's the attitude that was taught to me by my main teacher, is that everything is about expansion, even prior to Awakening or after Awakening. And that's really an endless process, because a human can endlessly expand until it totally disappears. And what disappears means is like, um, yeah, I mean, Buddhas, Buddha would say that's Nirvana, yeah. Being a teacher has played a part in that. I never thought that would be my role. My character doesn't like to go into situations and be the center of attention. It's not an alpha character. And it also has like a lot of innocence in it, in the way it views things. And, you know, so you can imagine that teaching pushed up against that. If you don't do some asserting yourself in doing a public talk, then the audience all want to assert and be the alpha, so they will push against you. So, you’re sitting there like, I can be quite passive, I can be feisty, but, um, yeah, and then the audience, especially, I don't mean to pick on men, but especially men in the audience, it can happen with women, but wanting to take over the talks. I mean, that's just one very one example, yeah. Like this woman is a dimwitted dum-dum, she's not giving the correct answers to the audience, in fact, she's saying she doesn't know. No, don't worry, I will rescue her. Yeah, and I see that as my karma, you know, that's my karma working out. I don't see that as him, like we can say it's him and we can look at it, but in the end, it's my karma that I have to deal with, navigate, otherwise the talk will be taken over by that person. Yeah, all types of things in personal life. The most important attitude is everything's here to expand you. So important.
I have the sense that Consciousness is not what I am. The sense is I am prior to Consciousness. Consciousness can arise, Consciousness can subside, but I am. It brings tears of beauty to my eyes and heart. Can you talk about this since many are saying we are Consciousness? It is a sense as if the absolute is not aware at all. It does not need it. It just is absolute, complete. I might not be able to join today but can listen later. Thanks. Yeah, thank you. Um, yeah, such a beautiful question. Yeah, thank you for your question. I mean, this is where it's just like an absolute dropping into mystery. And what people mean by Consciousness, I think here we just get to the edge of the cliff, and we cannot speak about it falling off like lemons.Original Video 21/7-24: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iK1lo6ebqMnNqLg.html

It just is absolute, complete. I might not be able to join today but can listen later. Thanks. Yeah, thank you. Um, yeah, such a beautiful question. Yeah, thank you for your question. I mean, this is where it's just like an absolute dropping into mystery. And what people mean by Consciousness, I think here we just get to the edge of the cliff, and we cannot speak about it falling off like lemons. Um, so all teachings are simply teachings to point the listener to go inwards to their own investigation. And what is spoken about are simply that. And the Consciousness-firstly, we don't know what people mean by Consciousness. Do they mean personal awareness or the big Consciousness? So Nisargadatta Maharaj, he would call awareness the Supreme and absolute sometimes, not all the time. And then he would call Consciousness the more personal awareness, you know, what we know of as Consciousness. So these words, you know, I think the Consciousness teaching is beautiful, but it's not an ending. It's an investigation to go inwards and to find it for yourself. One thing I can say is it's absolute. Any abstraction in the mind, and it is no thing, which automatically makes it all things. But this is absolutely unspeakable. So in Buddhism, in the Heart Sutra, that's what I have on my arm. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's not the whole of the Heart Sutra, but it's um, PR paramas mantra who's the bodhisattva or the goddess, whatever we call her or Buddha that belongs to the Heart Sutra in maybe some traditions. I know that there are so many thousands of traditions, so whenever I speak, I'm up in some traditions. Um, you know, she-they were in the Heart Sutra-it says Consciousness to his form, and their final pointing as to what it is, is the form and the formless or emptiness and fullness. You see, I think they might say in that it's emptiness. But so this is where we just begin to fall off the cliff and just know when you're teaching something there, you can't say everything at once. You know, it's really important that people come across this Consciousness teaching and get really blasted with it and taught to investigate what Consciousness is. You know, if what I find sometimes with working with people is, you know, they've listened in a very short amount of time, they've listened to lots of talking talks, and they've concluded that the absolute is nothing. And then they kind of think they're done, and they haven't gone through all these stages of like really investigating and falling in love with Consciousness and having these deconstructions through Consciousness. Yeah, so the reason that I would say the teachers speak about it is because it's in Jnana yoga, wisdom yoga. So that's what's taught in non-duality. It's really an important place to really go into the depth of what Consciousness is. Number two, all teachers use these words differently, and some people use Consciousness as personal awareness and some people use Consciousness as the Supreme. Beyond Consciousness is like-like Nisargadatta, he interestingly, not all the time, but he often uses awareness as the absolute and then Consciousness is a more personal thing and awareness isn’t conscious. Yeah, so you know, it's also words. How are people associating the most important thing is going inwards, and the fact that it brings tears to your eyes now says that, you know, there's been really going inwards and there's really the recognition of that. Thank you for your question. Next question: A heart which has burned itself empty. Irena Tweedle Tweedy, February 1991. It is the task of the teacher to set the heart aflame with the unquenchable fire of longing and to keep it burning until it reduces to ashes. But only a heart which has burned itself empty is capable of love. From the Call of the Fire by Irina Tweedy. Beautiful. She comes from the Bhakti lineage where her teacher taught in this way. Yeah, that's really beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. I'll just read it again. It is the task of the teacher to set the heart aflame with an unquenchable fire of longing and to keep it burning until it reduces to ashes. But only a heart which has burnt itself empty is capable of love. Yeah, so there we come to that word again-empty-from the last questioner, the importance of the emptiness or nothing. Yeah, thank you for sharing that.

Ilangho being arrogant, Lisa grounding it😆😆❤️🙋♂️
Gold. Thank you.
Stay in ajna chakra and think about god.
What? Are you recommending to slack off?
Wonderful!
Then, who is allowing?
One thing I know is that I love you sweetheart! Thanks so much for this and all your other videos! ❤
You talk from my heart
The quest to find the secrets of life is beyond the worldly conquest we imagine will complete us.
Thanks for the clear reflection. The little ripples are so gentle. Love
CM: Again, so she asked, why is seeing, seeking, and identifying such a gift? It is a seeming process on the way towards realizing there is no separate person. Would that not be cause and effect? Is cause and effect just part of the dream? And as long as there is dreaming, it appears real and relevant, when actually there is no meaning, no cause and effect, and no separate identity. Speaker 1: Yeah, it's beautiful CM, I agree. What contradiction there is. Yeah, there is no cause and effect. There is simply what's happening. Cause and effect is an illusion of the mind. But in the apparent cause and effect, there seems to be this apparent path or journey. But the ultimate truth is that there was nobody, and there was no process, there was no gift, there was no seeing. JT: One practical question: how best to find people in person who share this message? Have you found it worthwhile to build a community like this? In San Francisco, we have a Vedanta society. Join that. Ananda May is such a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, insanely beautiful woman. She would say, you know, surround yourself with this message and with people that are interested in God. So she would call it God. So people that are interested in this message, people that are seeking, people that are talking about this message. You know, don't surround yourself with people that are talking about, you know, how to become a successful business person. Like, surround yourself completely by God, she would say. And she means, you know, like people that are interested in this subject, community. You know, when you're on downtime, you know, watching, listening, videos, movies, etc. So it's always in your mind, in your experience. So, and I think that's really beautiful. BC: Lisa, what about the tendency to try to find completion through non-duality teachers? Just checking this is still running. What about the tendency to try to find completion through non-duality teachers? In one way, this seems like a reflection of the universe's aim, the search for God. And if someone truly finds the guru in the teacher, off with their heads. But is this too a game of validating an illusory self, or is it bhakti? Speaker 2: I would say don't worry about that part, just keep presenting yourself to this subject. The person is going to seek. It's much better to seek in bhakti and in Guru and this subject than it is to seek in alcohol and drugs and effects and drama. So if the seeking is going to appear, see, seek that. And if that's validating the person, then that's much better than the other stuff validating the person. CM: Yes, all paradoxes, all the way up, down, and no direction at all, because that requires space which is only in the dream. There is no actual way to talk or write about this. Nothing that which cannot be grasped is so hard to say or ask anything about this, because no one can actually say anything about nothing on non-duality without it appearing in duality, in a picture of… yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a great comment to finish on. This transcription captures the essence of the conversation as described in the original text.

Aside from her content, which I most certainly enjoy, there’s the sound of Lisa’s voice which is so soothing.
this video was great and couragous, a nondual teacher adapting to the audience..that was something new and brave
I went to his India retreat in 2001. His book was number 2 in India best sellers. Who Moved My Cheese was number 1. He was great, we had 11 days to listen to him a couple times a day, and hang with him a bit. I know Lisa, but never talked Tolle with her. Talked more about Ramesh, who we both had visited. I lost interest in Tolle after his next books came out, they drifted into more commercial concepts, and he got way too famous to talk to, but man, I remember how the Swamis in Rishikesh reacted to him. They were blown away. He was always gracious to everyone and had a sweet, sly humor and amazing vibes. The real deal.

Thank you. Love
Original Video 14/7-24: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pq6G0rSBdc6Wfbw.html When I practice self-inquiry, and after facing existential fear a few times, it has become easier to face fear. But now a vibrational energy is emerging that feels like it is going to obliterate me completely. My breath stops by itself, and as I try to surrender to the energy, after a while, the body feels like it is dying, and I am gasping for air. I return to the sense of my body, and thoughts overpower me. It becomes too difficult, and the body starts breathing again. Do you have any advice on how to fully surrender when this happens? You need to let go of the idea that there is a you who surrenders or does not surrender. You have to give everything to God. Even though the mind still feels like it is driving the bus, there is actually no one driving the bus - that dream bus. And let go of the idea that the breath has to stop or that taking in air is pushing away freedom or something like that. I know this can happen for some people during their awakening, but don’t let that energy or thought influence anything. This itself can become the illusion. You don’t have to remain without breathing or leap off the cliff of this being an illusion. Ideas are here, pain and pleasure are happening, and freedom is that which experiences. What Love.
😂🤣😂
Powerful clip!
Thanks to whoever put together this collection of Lisa clips, you did great work and the results are great.
the chances of anyone getting fully enlightened is slim to none..
I want to feel free
Yummy!
When that WANT arises, no other wants could compare 💚🌹
Thanks, Lisa. The first time I had “proper” psychotherapy was in my late 30s. It was a pretty standard practice, the kind covered by employee plans but in the reception there was a pamphlet to explain the practice. It started out with “2 questions you need to ask yourself before starting psychotherapy” and these were “Who are you?” and “What do you want?” I still think of these as part of a balanced start to the day!
