In non-dual awareness, also known as spiritual enlightenment or self-realization, the individual experiences a sense of unity and interconnectedness with all of existence. There is a realization that there is no separate, individual self, and that the ego, or sense of individuality, is an illusion. In non-dual awareness, there is a letting go of the dualistic way of thinking, in which everything is perceived as being separate and distinct from everything else. Instead, there is a recognition that everything is interconnected and interdependent, and that all labels and boundaries are ultimately illusory. This realization can bring about a deep sense of peace, joy, and understanding, as the individual sees through the illusion of separation and suffering. There may also be a sense of the sacred and the divine in all things. Non-dual awareness is often described as a state of consciousness beyond the mind, where the individual experiences a deep sense of unity with all of existence. While non-dual awareness is often associated with spiritual traditions, it is not necessarily tied to any particular religion or belief system. It is a state of consciousness that can be experienced by anyone, regardless of their background or beliefs. It is often said to be the true nature of the self, and is sometimes referred to as "awakening," "enlightenment," or "self-realization." One of the main ways in which quantum mechanics challenges classical conceptions of reality is through the concept of superposition. In classical mechanics, objects have definite properties (such as position and momentum) that are independent of measurement. In contrast, according to quantum mechanics, the act of measurement itself can affect the properties of a quantum system. For example, the position and momentum of a subatomic particle cannot be known with complete precision at the same time, due to the uncertainty principle. This leads to the phenomenon of superposition, in which a quantum system can exist in multiple states simultaneously. For example, an electron can be in multiple energy levels at the same time, or a particle can be in multiple locations at once. This is in contrast to classical mechanics, in which an object can only be in one state or location at a time. The concept of superposition has profound implications for our understanding of the nature of reality. It suggests that the objects we observe in the everyday world, which seem to have definite properties, may actually be more like waves of probability that only "collapse" into definite states when we observe them. This has led some philosophers to argue that our common-sense understanding of the world is an illusion, and that the true nature of reality at the quantum scale is fundamentally unknowable. Another way in which quantum mechanics challenges classical conceptions of reality is through the phenomenon of entanglement. This occurs when two or more particles become "linked" in such a way that the state of one particle can affect the state of the other, even if they are separated by large distances. This non-local behavior seems to contradict the principles of classical physics, which hold that physical interactions can only occur through direct contact or via some kind of intermediary. The phenomenon of entanglement has also been used to argue that there may be deeper connections between seemingly unrelated physical systems, and that the concept of "separate" objects may be an illusion. Some philosophers have suggested that the concept of "object" itself may be a human construct, and that the true nature of reality may be more akin to a interconnected web of relationships. Overall, the relationship between quantum mechanics and philosophy is a complex and ongoing one, with many philosophers and scientists continuing to explore the implications of this powerful and enigmatic physical theory.

Schizophrenia is like an extreme form of openmindedness. Your mind/consciousness is so abnormally open that reality itself becomes less material and more fluid - similar to being on mushrooms. This kind of openness correlates with high creativity because a lot more novel ideas are floating into your field of consciousness. But your mind is so open that these ideas literally start to morph your material world. A coffee table could start talking to you and giving you novel ideas. The trade-off is that your mind is less buttoned-up, so it literally starts to feel like you're going insane.

@@Andrew-hx9tz Reality will always give you what you want or something better with a delay. The only thing that seperates real life from a dream is that in a dream when you go lucid and you intend to experience something, it just appears immediately. In Finding Nemo, Marlin loses his son. He is caught by a fisherman uh or a scientist and he's like taken away on a boat and the point of the movie is that we're trying to find Nemo. That's what Marlin wants to find. His son. Now the problem here is that Marlin doesn't know how to find his son but he just knows Beyond The Shred of a doubt that he's going to find his son because he's a dad and he lost his only son. So his whole life he knows for a fact, his heart and his mind have come into Union, they've both agreed that 100% we're going to find our son but I don't know how. So this is the same for you with your goal. You want something 100% for sure without a doubt but I don't know how I'm going to get it. That's okay normally you don't have to know how to get something. All you need to know is the first step. This is exactly how reality creation works. You hold your goal (P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney) in your mind and then you trust that the universe is going to take you there in its own mysterious way. Trust the universe that it's going to bring you to your goal but you won't know how. On the surface it's going to seem like everything is falling apart but once you look back you're going to say oh I actually needed to go through that failure because now I'm successful but I couldn't have been successful without that failure. You say oh this is going to bring me to my goal and you just kind of affirm to yourself that the Universe looks out for me and that the universe is on my team and is helping me manifest what I want. You want to be like Dory. You want to have radical trust in the universe and you want to hold in your mind your vision. That's why she keeps repeating P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney over and over again. Hold your vision in mind and trust that whatever happens you're gonna be brought there. That's how you create your reality using your imagination. Go after your goal in the same way that you go to get the post from the letterbox. Stop imagining the post to be a problem and simply put one foot in front of the other in the direction of the letterbox. Any goal you have if you can think and feel about it the same way as you do when you go to get your post from the mailbox then it's a done deal. (P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney) 📬📮

@@gud3742 there is a difference between dreams and reality. One is imagining something is happening and the other is something actually happening. Your experience may feel real but it isn't. This is fine if it was just you and your experience but it isn't. Other people have lives outside of you that depend on you. You can't just live the dream. As for the prediction that reality will give you what you want or something better is like saying it is gonna rain. Just because it rained doesn't mean it was ordained. People die in suffering. I could die tomorrow. Given time everything will change and that may land on better. It typically does because we are all human and it's all designed around humans.

Yes, all man-made religions introduce dualities in their world-view which typically begin with Creator (God) and Creation being separate. This is how our mind works. There is you and me, here and there, them and us, yesterday and tomorrow, good and bad, and so on. From the "non-dual perspective" there is no need to label Creator and Creation as separate, but creation and creator are seen as one and as beyond words...

@erwinhartzuiker7622 Год назад

@@Andrew-hx9tz Hi Andrew. We humans invented words to label something. For instance people talk about "God", or talk about "Nature", or talk about "Love" etc.... It seems convenient to use such words, but actually my point is that we have NO CLUE what we are saying. We believe that words accurately summarize something that we can know , but what does that mean? What is "Nature" or "God" actually? Because we use words all the time, we think we "know" something. But very likely the interpretation of person-A may be very different from person-B when he or she talks about Nature, or God, or Love. So my point is that words are just labels and mean nothing in the end. Yet: we live the experience of air, sky, water, sunlight, people; Life is Real! This is beyond words, as words are just something we made up. Another way of saying this: millions of years before we invented words, all of Life and Universe already existed. No words were needed! They exist beyond words... You and I exist beyond words and whatever we or others think...🙂 This is most wonderful and beautiful to realize.

How would you react if all the sudden your coffee table started to talk to you? Would you be open to listening, or would you freak out and run to the doctor to put yourself on meds to suppress it? Most people would freak out because they don't have a proper context for it. Under the materialist paradigm the only context is that you're going insane. But if you understand how consciousness works then there's really nothing wrong about it, you just have an extra-open mind.

@august1871 Год назад

@@Andrew-hx9tz Love your post because I could see myself writing it just a few years ago. So I'll reply with what I would have told myself to try and point at what non-duality is. Keep in mind that words do not capture it fully and often don't make sense literally. Non-dual awareness says nothing about the human experiencing it, other than the fact that they *do*, and does not imply we are 'special' in any way. It says the opposite. There is no "you" or "me" or anyone or anything else as a distinct entity. Everything is all one whole. Non-duality is the recognition that all separation that the mind perceives is a confection. There is no you, yourself. There are no trees, themselves. There is no spoon, itself. There is no yesterday, today, or tomorrow. It is all one inter-connected state of all things being the whole. All of it. Everything, everywhen, everyone. All at once and everywhere for eternity. The only reason you need to be human to understand it right now is because right now you "are" human, and are dealing with the limitations that our biology beholds us to, smart as we are. There is no specialness about you, or me, or anyone or any "thing". All things are one. Except there are no "things"... You can see why words are tricky here. All is one. When you finally see it it's painfully obvious how it could be no other way, like hearing the punchline to the greatest joke ever told. We are all the beginning and the end. Always and one.

I tried explaining that nonduality could exist without duality because it does, but he thinks they coincide almost but not quite like Ying and yang. He acknowledges that nonduality is the entire symbol not just the two sides but said there would be no symbol without the duality meaning nonduality cannot be, and that's where I disagreed. What do yall think?

@777xino Год назад

In deep sleep there is no time, no space, no world, no you nor me, and yet the potential to awaken from sleep is present. If I poke you while you are in a deep sleep state, something will register a vibration, and awakening will happen. This means “something” is present that is not in itself an object in space-time. Stillness stirs and movement appears or the unmanifest becomes manifest. In effect, duality arises out of non-duality just as the state of restlessness arises from a state of rest. They are not-two but two aspects of ‘One’ Being. Duality is dependent on that which is prior to its appearance, but whatever that is (call it whatever you like) does not require the presence of duality for it to be. Therefore, you are correct. Non-duality is self-existent in the sense that it does not depend on duality for it to be. Non-duality is not a concept. It is made into a concept when we speak about it. It is what the mind does; make nothing into something. Duality is a creation of thought that divides the essentially indivisible. Therefore, from the point of view of the dualistic mind, Non-duality ‘as a concept’ cannot be without duality. However, non-duality has no need for a symbol. Only the dualistic mind needs symbols and words to communicate ideas. This process of conceptualizing does not reduce the reality of what we are into a concept. Though I am using words like “it” “something” or “be” we must be very clear that the reality of non-duality (our natural state) is not a phenomenal thing or definable object in time. I hope this helps.

@777xino Год назад

@@obscureesoteric7213 The funny thing is, “the element of the absolute is always missing” is why seekers find this whole business so confusing. Most seekers ask questions without realizing their incapacity to receive the answers. They ask about what is essentially timeless and formless from the relative, and personal standpoint of time and space. Knowing no other reality than the relative realm of name and form, they expect or demand the answers to their questions to be reduced to the level of objective experiences. In their ignorance, they believe what is applicable to the manifest world they know must also apply to the unmanifest. This is one of the reasons seekers remain confused and frustrated. Paradox is the language of truth but to the dualistic mind, to hear apparently nonsensical or contradictory statements like, “it is and it isn’t” or “the true self is no self,” or “nothing appears as everything,” etc. just makes no sense and they fail to appreciate what is being pointed to. Enlightenment is the recognition of the nature of your own being. It is that simple. And as far as I am concerned, everybody knows they are present and aware and therefore do not need to engage in any special practices, or believe in any system of thought, or belong to any spiritual tradition to know the simple fact that they are. Clarity into their true nature and their true identity must come first, then they can follow whatever practise, path, or process without the danger of being misled or exploited by pseudo gurus, etc. I know far too many people whose lives have been abused through misplacing their trust. Too many seekers are expecting a dramatic event in some future time they call “Awakening” “Enlightenment” or Self-Realization” (which are some of the most misleading concepts being offered in the spiritual marketplace) without realizing they are already awake. It is our natural state; ever available and verifiable. Unfortunately, the significance of their natural state is not appreciated because to the mind that loves content and drama, an “empty sky” does not hold its interest or attention.

@777xino Год назад

That is a lovely question because ultimately it is about balance, harmony, and unity; just as it is in the natural world. Most people are entangled in and lost within the world of duality. They hold onto one extreme because they are ignorant of the ‘realm’ of Non-duality. They know no other world but the world of names and forms in time and space. They lack balance, and whatever is out of balance inevitably ends up dysfunctional or destroyed. The other extreme is to hold onto the absolute point of view that dismisses and/or disparages the relative world of things and people, etc. This may be called, “getting lost in emptiness.” In other words, they hold onto the dangerous view that the world is an illusion without meaning or purpose. They fail to realize that the world of duality is not separate from Non-duality. They are not-two. It is important not to hold onto any extremes. In my opinion, the “spiritual life” is best expressed when one never loses sight of both realities but respects them in equal measure. For the practical aspects of our life, we can fulfill the need or demand of the moment but never forget the reality that supports and holds this life together. A life lived in accord with our full potential is a dance between the relative and the absolute, following the ebb and flow of a seamless stream of experiences.

@zachf5778 Год назад

Very fascinating video. This might be a stupid question, but it seems like you didn't really define non-duality. You did mention that it is beyond concepts, words and meaning... but what confuses me is the following. Non-duality is itself a dualistic concept (i.e., the negation of duality), so how can "the world" be non-dual? Even saying that "the world" IS non-dual is itself dualistic (being vs non-being, or is vs is not). It seems like there's a similar problem when you discuss infinity and indivisible oneness... you have infinite vs finiteness and indivisible vs divisible. Even when we talk about "experiencing oneness", how can that possibly happen? As soon as you have "experience", you no longer have oneness. So what's really being stated here? Related follow-up but potentially different: How does variation seem to appear in a non-dual framework? It seems like things have different properties and natures but that can that be the case in non-duality? Some things feel warm, some things feel cold.... some things feel smooth, some things feel rough... etc. But these things are not different from one another? Or what exactly? Apologize for the sloppy language. It's really challenging to formulate these questions.

@AlexShailer Год назад

Ultimately, you cannot define Non-Duality, because what it's pointing to is beyond all definitions. It's like trying to point to a canvas with paint on the canvas. The canvas is what gives the paint its reality. Non-Duality isn't saying that apparent forms and dualities aren't real, it's saying that what underlies those appearances is a single indivisible field of aware presence. There is a single indivisible Non-Dual reality underlying all apparent dualities. This can never be understood by the mind, but it can be obvious when the mind stops trying to chop it up into pieces and grasp it, then the naked reality can be revealed.

@raycosmic9019 Год назад

Reality = That which is/That I am (Life) That which is, that is nothing in particular (actual), is by definition everything in general (potential) - the All in One in All, thus, the one Absolute Being in which all relative beings live, move and have their Being. Love is the recognition of our shared Being. Life functions consciously and unconsciously simultaneously. Therefore, consciousness is how something does something (adverb) - not what something is (noun).

1) great grafix, duuude! ;) 1) The essence of non-duality must be experienced to be Known, and IS experienced by the Saved/Enlightened/Mystic! Anyone can be 'Saved/Enlightened'!; "Born again" into the state of Unconditional Love = Salvation = Enlightenment = Heaven = Immortality "Heaven is at hand!" - Jesus Here! Now! Anything else is Hell! Unconditional Love is ALWAYS Known by It's Unconditional Virtues; Compassion, Empathy, Sympathy, Gratitude, Humility, Charity (Charity is never taking more than your share of anything, ever!), Honesty, Happiness, Faith... ALWAYS! "I and the Father are One!" "As I Am so can you be!" "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." -John 15:5 One with Christ = One with God! "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me. I do but teach you the scriptures." - Meister Eckhart Heaven, Here! Now! It is the LIFE of the truly Saved displaying the Virtues of Unconditional Love that is the gospel, the Light in the darkness! “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi and 1) The non-dual punchline is that all that 'exists' is Consciousness/Mind, and This takes up no space and no time, so existence is no more than a Planck moment, timeless. And 'space' is a Planck volume occupying no space. One 'blip' of Self Awareness, Consciousness knowing Mind and no more, never was. Talk about a Big Bang! ;) "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! We, collectively, Universally, are Consciousness, each Being unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) of Mind! Mystically, Karma is the momentary (local) reflection of the Absolute Perfection/Balance of the One (ALL-inclusive) Universe (aka 'God', Consciousness/Mind, etc...)! Knowing, living this is the very essence of Faith! Whatever the moment brings is in perfect accord with the Universe/God, whether comfortable or not. Just accept the moment's Karma with Gratitude and never trouble yourself over Karma again! Acceptance is unconditional Love and Karma is 'God/Universe, etc...'. To accept Karma is to accept 'God', to become One with! "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me. I do but teach you the scriptures." - Meister Eckhart With Love ;)

is a proper human diet plant based? omfg i agree with like 99% of this but i dont see the point of the spirtual aspects. ive been plant based for 10 years. I feel like i discovered all this already and im confused that people dont already understand these concepts. I thought everyone was kinda like this. i thought we all kinda knew plants were the best things for humans. i thought we all kinda understand that there is a reality without us. I thought we all kinda thought that everything and nothing matters all at the same time depending on scope.

@@EnlightenedCarnivore I generally think that following the American Food Pyramid recommendations are a bad idea for anyone esp back in the 80s. Canada has a much better one they introduced in 2019 that was entirely based on non biased studies. Pretty much all of the ones funded by the industries selling the products they wanted the government to promote as healthy. These were primarily meat dairy and egg industries. I think that carnivore diets are pretty much debunked as not good for humans at this point. The only version that makes sense are keto diets which are much easier to maintain on a non plant based diet. The people needing these types of intervention starvation diets are likely eating less food if they are on an ideal diet for them and they are drastically overweight to the point that the harm done is reduced compared to the harm their weight causes. I think that for the average healthy person this never makes sense unless you have a medical reason that you cannot eat other things like allergies. It would be like the average person with no gluten intolerances eating gluten free. It likely will just result in you eating more unnecessary processed foods. Which is the real problem and the reason that people that go whole food plant based and carnivore report similar experiences. The difference is if you weren't eating many plants and you transition too quickly you can upset your stomach due to the increased consumption of fiber which is the foundation for a good gut microbiome. Carnivore diets don't seem to offer these effects long term as evidenced by the myriad of people that go from 2 percent to 99 percent arterial blockage in 2 years at 45 on a carnivore diet. It also puts the body in ketosis long term if you don't consume enough carbs. This causes brain damage. The difference between one extreme and the other is the sheer variety of edible plant species that can cover all nutritional needs and the extreme limitation of the carnivore diet 99 percent of the public aren't eating organ meat often enough to get many of the vitamins and minerals...it's also disgusting not just culturally...but literally organ meat tastes bad. Either way vitamin c isn't a thing on a carnivore diet. I think we also can look back anthropologically and it's more compelling that we evolved by widening the variety of plants we could consume by learning to cook. This happened long before we could realistically hunt anything large enough that would allow us to rely heavily on that meat for survival. There is also an entire ethical argument of trading your life for the lives of a bunch of animals. Just feels inherently wrong. But that's my perspective. I didn't watch the whole thing to be fair but I've heard of it and know what it's about and watched maybe 10 mins of it. I might sit down and watch the rest for shits and giggles. This is generally my perspective on these topics though.

If there is nothing else but non duality, I’d rather be dead

@777xino Год назад

Non-duality means there is no separation between objective experiences, including thoughts, feelings, and sensations, and the reality that knows them. Non-duality is not a concept, but a fact, for you cannot have an object apart from the knowing element, call it whatever you like. It is only a pointer to the true life or reality within us. The pointers of non-duality tell us there is no separate self or person. There is no independent entity that has the power to exercise freewill. Not realising this to be the case, humanity lives in a conceptual realm based on imagination and not reality. Hence the confusion and problems suffered at the personal level that extends to the wider community and affect every society founded and structured on false premises.

@AlexShailer Год назад

Yes to everything you're saying. But just remember that "individual free will" and "no individual free will" is another duality. Peace ❤️

You can say "there is no one" but I prefer to use "true self" over "no self" because a) they both refer to the same thing which is beyond any concept of true self or no self and b) it can be disorientating and disassociating for some people. They're both just pointers to the unspeakable Truth.

@thedoubler67 Год назад

@@Andrew-hx9tz all this talk of non-duality is a pointing-to, it is not to sell you on a concept or a belief, it is ultimately to get us to let go, or in other words stop grasping for something to hold on to (which includes the concept of non-duality. Like koans, it's paradoxical and not something to be "gotten", much like one cannot look at their eye directly with that same eye.) It's not describing what is, but encouraging us to drop what isn't (all the stories and conceptualizations we put on top of "reality", which includes the concept of "reality" itself. The description isn't the same as what is being described, etc.) That being said, it also does not mean there's anything "wrong" with the grasping, as that is also part of "what is." How you "get" there is irrelevant, as you were always already there to begin with (or in other words, there was nowhere to get to in the first place). Spirituality is just another framework or overlay, so there's no inherent need for it.

@chiptowers1 Год назад

There is the problem right there, Quote; " non-duality is an ancient pointer to truth" which has its roots thousand of years back into history," and it's that history that has confused the masses". Confusion, because it is said " the sense of personal self is an illusion". The moment spiritual teachers and their respective religions and beliefs enter into a Zen state to achieve sudden enlightenment, what they have seen or think they learned in Zen state, they believe its an illusion and its that believing its an illusion which has placed non-duality as oneness as the be all end all and in turn, confused themselves of the possibility of duality. Without a physical source forming the intelligent species, there is no awareness. Awareness cannot form a physical source. Therefore, that which formed the intelligent species is the fusing of elements formulae ( the imprinted knowledge) that initiated the iteration function which has a symbiotic relationship with biology, basically the human molecule. That is the intelligent species Duality, elements and biology symbiotic relationship, and it's not an illusion but because teachers and their respective religions have no clue how the intelligent species formed by a physical source, then they don't understand duality. Awareness, consciousness, peace and love etc cannot form an intelligent species form. The physical source is your presence, not your body and brain. Evolve thee!

Thousands of years ago cannibals thought by eating their enemies they gained their strength! Just because something is thousands of years old doesn't mean it's valid. Non-Duality is just another unfalsifiable belief and no different than any other BALONEY religious belief that necessitates a giant leap of faith to accept, because in the accepting one gets to allay the ever consuming Human fear of dying as a finality!! Awakening is the equivalent of a blind faith acceptance when you think you've found the solution to your inherent unhappiness that's no different than a christian who has declared jesus as their personal savior, and when that doesn't work they try something else! And none of this crap really WORKS! Because it's CRAP!!

@AlexShailer Год назад

Non-Duality has nothing to do with belief. It is experiential. Jesus, Buddha, awareness, consciousness, have relative meaning and purpose, but they are also conceptual. Non-Duality goes beyond the conceptual and into direct experience. I would never tell you what you should believe. I only ask you to investigate what is True for YOU. By this process of enquiry, your true nature is revealed, and it was always the case. I never told you anything that wasn't already plainly obvious to you.

AND Boy you have to go a long way to come to a realization that we are living in a Maya DELUSION!! Consciousness to me is simply a product of something NO Human can grasp, and that's Deep Time! We have no way as beings that only live roughly 80 years (when consciousness disappears) to understand what experientially the Cosmos has for multiple Billions of years and the constant changes it has for that much existence up to our point of emergence, but we know its called Evolution! And in my opinion you and all that you claim is NONSENSE. Non Duality is a belief based on NOTHING but a A priori and that's all you have, except a lotta arrogance to think that you are equal to the Cosmos by just meditating and thinking you are!!
