I love to hear about the Yugas. The doc you did is amazing!! Thank you Jason Namaste
Thank you! Namaste
Experience is all there is, all there will be and all we are as we leave a karmic path ✨🙏🏻✨😍✨
"The Fundamental Flaw of Neo-Advaita | The Bastardization of Eastern Spirituality." Of which YT and its entire 'Philosophical' content is for a great deal to blame for. Flaws or strenghts are products of a restless mind. Opposites, remember? Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, There is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, The world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase each other Doesn't make any sense. _Rumi_
The title spiritual heart belongs to Atman, the true Self of each individual, one with the Divine, Brahman, the Absolute. A mountain is just that, a mountain, a product of the mind, it comes and goes.
May all beings reside and take refuge in the truth of their nature as the Self. Thx for this video. Big blessings
Fyi. Not being notified if your new vids until much later if at all. 🤔
This line up with the Age of Ahriman in Anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner! So this is the Kali-Ahrimanic Age!
best wishes for your journey
The knowledge from reading and experiencing it in the heart. Tricky but achievable. Heartfullness meditation is option that helped me. Give it a try, nothing to read or learn, just sit and be that.
I am continually amazed by the extent of your reading. I hope you get something back from Amazon (you've caused me to buy a book or two.) I loved what you said about humility - that certainly is the dead giveaway. How about simply saying, "What you think of as 'you' is really undifferentiated consciousness." I remember, as a kid, thinking, "How come when I see things, I'm not in the way?" I have no idea what that meant, but it sounds a lot like a form of non-duality.
Hi Jason, thanks for all that you do, much appreciated 🙏 I've been listening J Krishnamurti for a number of years and he states vehemently to find out for oneself, "how do we know there's a god/ atman/higher self etc, if we didn't have these great texts to tell us, where would we start?"
Feynman: “If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics”.
The Buddah Dharma is life changing and mind opening.
Would you say ‘ATMAN’ is integrating the undifferentiated with unique expression (individualized expression of the undifferentiated) whereas BRAHMAN is Pure undifferentiated beyond all individualizations………?
The one is the all and the all are the one
You will find out that guilt and regret are so much more powerful then you even considered. This power will dictate your destination in death. No matter what you chose to believe in life. Guilt and regret are no illusion.
*In 1973 the body I was experiencing was pronounced "DEAD On ARRIVAL" at a medical center... More than half an hour passed, then its heart started beating again... During that time I, "LIFE The Real Self", ( NOT The Human entity ) entered "The LIGHT", and have remained in "The LIGHT" to this day...*
*I, "LIFE The Real Self" ( NOT The Human Body ) went to "The Marriage Supper of The Lamb"... I also witnessed "The Birth of The MAN Child", ( which took about seven hours ) mentioned in "The Revelation" chapter 12... And as Promised I, "LIFE The Real Self", ( NOT the human entity ) now resides in "The HOUSE of GOD" !*
@@johnb8854 Some of us can enter the light while still in the flesh body. With the right frame of mind that is.
Thank you 🙏🏾 Nameste Jason. Awesome insights.
Why is there a God?
Thomas Aquinas said something similar on this knowing vs non-knowing state of being. It is often misquoted but the general statement is: "For those who understand no explanation is necessary. For those who do not understand no explanation is possible."
I think it would be interesting to hear your take on the history/practice of Mudras - I don't know what that would look like but I'm quite certain you would come up with something awesome.
Yes, I have a video on the mudras. Here it is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p22JqLGamaTalcY.html
Beautiful video as always! Namaskaram 🙏🏻
Thanks for your teachings. I find that your explanations are clear. 🌸🙏🌸
🙏
I eXist because i dont eXist I know because I dont know I am because am I not I Change because am I changeless Reality paradoX The ONLY way out is IN Im not the body Im not the mind
One fish , two fish, blue fish red fish, some fish no fish lol look at me I’m a wise person, look at me I’m a nobody
The Path is a true surrender to the unknown, i ONLY know i dont know and for that im all knowing, the paradoX reality, enlighten Path, the oneness, the jump to the abbiss, the ONLY constant is Change, in this universe, and you are the universe testimony, the awareness, I am I. 💜🙏💜 I dont eXist Iam the Change, I am I 💜🙏💜
Most Westerners (Like myself.) need to take Eastern Spirituality twice. Once to learn the content, and then again to understand the concept. The mind shift. Being humble is a learned behavior. Humility, is only understood in the experience. When I came to the understanding that I did not know anything. The ones that guided me to this experience are the ones that command my humility. I will always be a student. Kindness and compassion to others is a natural expression of focus and intention to an authentic path. Thank You for expanding my existence, Jason. Namaste 🕉️💜🙂
Remember, We do not even own Humility ... If one identifies humility as 'My Humility', humility goes out ... What drives Us to nurture 'ownership attachments' is the belief that we are just the contingent body given by nature ... we get attached to it because the Brahman's awareness radiation had not been recognized by the jiva ... then, the mind take control and try to own the embodiment as its unique locus of control ... with that attachment comes a river of attachments where the mind try to take ownership over whatever brings out the fear of its impermanence ... fear to lost the given body as its main reservoir of control and everything that the mind conjures to belong to its attachment to the given embodiment ... Of Course, when/where a Brahman's being merges in the worlds where self-identification with the embodiments, nature, and its attachments to the objects of desire ... The reaction from the attached to nature and contingency tends to destroy the detached one because that Being becomes the embodiment of what they fear at most ... Losing all that they believe and want to believe that they are at what they think is the core of their beingness ... The Detached one in God's Hand becomes the enemy to beat for those who don't want to absolutely surrender to God ... The great paradox is that by absolutely surrendering to God ... Brahman is revealed and nothing is lost ... instead, the embodiment becomes an unconditional server of everything as it is settled by Brahman ... That's the stick for measuring 'spiritual prowess and progress' ... where/when there is/are not unconditional servers to everything in oneself, there is not Brahman's awareness... Just Brahman unconditionally serving selves that are blind and unaware of its unconditional service ... In places where the majority of beings are spontaneous and unconditional Brahman's servers, Everyone becomes the subject to unconditionally serve ... and You become the subject to be served by everyone ... but at the end of the day, One doesn't desire to be served by everybody, One just want to intimately serve Brahman and its servers when/where those require one's services ... We enter into another Divine paradox, Brahman doesn't require to be served ... so the desire to unconditionally serve Brahman changes to unconditionally serve those who don't want to serve Brahman and those who want to serve Brahman but don't know that Brahman doesn't require to be unconditionally served ... ... Peace ...
Thanks Bro & Guy.😅
Yes. True. Humility is a must. When one thinks “I” am Brahman, then that one thinks that “I” and the Brahman are different. That is where the difficulty lies - to think, to speak, is NOT “To Be”. The Rishi existed in the “Being”.
Thank you namaste let there be peace let there be love for all beings universal there is no separateness om shanti shanti shanti 🕉 🙏
Yeah, ever so many are running around today thinking that they are gods. The realization of being unified with that Oneness is when one realizes that they are nothing (other than that), which is humbling (to say the least). Decoupling brings forth arrogance, unification brings forth humility. 🙏
Humility is the key 100% 🙏 Thank You 😊

Thank you. These teachings remind me of those in A Course in Miracles.
I was wondering what your views would be about ketogenic diet. Taoism and other ancient wisdom traditions all have fasting of the body. Ketogenic diet is a sort of a fast and sets in likewise processes. There are different harvard psychiatrists researching this and others. They are finding some evidence for less anxiety depression and even less schizophrenia. So more wellness, clear mind seems so. I am working toward ketogenic diet myself. Not sure if I will stay on it, or go less far in the end , but I will experiment.
Thanks brother ❤
This comment may seem a little out of left field, but I offering it to you because you are open minded. take it or leave. There is a group of people dedicated to relaying the experiences they have had in coming into contact with a being on Earth colloquially known as Sasquatch. On many occasions these being have use telepathy to communicate with humans. One such message passed on to some humans is that we are not humble enough, that to better at being human we all need to find a great deal more humility. That message resonates with the one you quoted from the Avadhuta Gita.
This is Highest Yoga
WE HAVE FREE WILL BUT IF WE TRULY FOLLOW OUR UNIQUENESS AND WHY WE WAS PUT HERE OUR LIFE BECOMES TRULY FREE AND AT EASE
Absolutely! Thank you so much
Your content in youtube shorts format is mega! Keep it up 👍 Thank you n God bless! 🙏
Datta! Is older than the Vedas, he was the first to release the God, maybe 30.000 old or more, he lived in near Siberia, one day he left home as a teen ager and enter the forest alone and traveled through thousand of years, when he reached the maturity the Vedic people were beggining history of the Rig Veda. He was tri murti deva, he mastered all qualities of the God, and the first Saint of history. What a nice passtime 😇🙏
For many enlightened beings, there are often more subtle layers than im just here, the end. There are often still deeper and changing relations with the moment as well as uncovering trauma which can hide within the present calm, isness; for the human aspect, there is a natural story that unfolds with or without effort. My master said it very well imo.. hold all things lightly.. there appear to be no end to the mysteries.. In a nutshell, be present and done yes, but not so done that you cant shake your booty joyfully or whatever at the drop of a coin compared to any playful human on earth.
The trmurti is not brahman who is the spreme reality they represents Brahman who is para or nirguna without form while the trimurti is apara and have form which is called sarguna
Another great video, much gratitude. Fun fact, there’s no empirical evidence that we spin and revolve around the sun separated by 93 million miles of vacuum space. Stay curious!👍

Happy Guru Purnima 🎉🙏
Thanks a ton for the Truth as shared from the Avadhuta Gita about our true nature as the Ulyimate Reality. As the oneness of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss --- Satchidananda. May we all realize this Highest Truth now and all beings be at peace. Om shanti shanti shanti
Powerful powerful episode! Thank you so much. Keep up the dance of the Tao. Love you guys. Be blessed
