Nonduality | Why The Mind Will Not Eliminate itself, And The Solution That Does. 

Purchase Love Outpouring Here: Love Outpouring is an entry-level nonduality pointer-book that is highly intriguing and utterly profound, yet inherently understandable and directly transfigurational. www.amazon.com/Love-Outpouring-Experiencing-Ever-Present-Illuminating/dp/1803415606/ref=zg_bsnr_g_11055_d_sccl_89/142-3837822-5960923?psc=1

Firstly, always pleasant to come across a fresh nonduality channel. Good stuff. I think a serious technical problem here is that the mind can't dissolve itself either. It's true that to seek is immediately to deviate, and that feeding any energy into the ego system perpetuates the ego system. Trying to resist self just feeds energy into self, trying to battle anxiety just feeds energy into anxiety. The challenge though, is that you can 100% consciously surrender, give a complete and sincere full faith motion of dissolving, and find that it's is not enough (a majority of the time actually), because your conscious mind and your beliefs are maybe 10-20% of your self, and the other 80-90% is aliefs rather than beliefs, and the unconscious mind rather than the conscious mind. And it's profoundly unconscious. It doesn't become conscious simply because you wishbit would, or because you self-inquiry. It's aliefs you aren't aware you have. It's the cloud of unknowing, that you can't reliably penetrate simply with more knowing. I don't have a solution for that. I have only found, so far, that it is useful to know as a theological / philosophical map, that you can surrender 100% and not have it work, the first time, or the twentith time, and that knowing that's just how it goes is useful so you don't give up or think that the dissolving and self-inquiry, and the motion of surrender isn't effective. It's among the best techniques we have. But it's highly variable, and mostly ineffective. You have to catch alief cooperating. Or mysteriously get the message through to the vast oceans of the unconscious, until it's lined up with your surrendering attempt. Sometimes it's aligned the first try, and boom, sudden enlightenment, and no one knows why you got lucky. Sometimes it takes a long gradual while of lots of non-trying trying. I get the impression that dissolving and self-inquiry are necessary but not sufficient, and the 80% of the self that is a billion pieces of casuality ricocheting in the deep unconscious/unknowing gets the majority vote. Until we get more techniques, with strobing light therapy or devices that deep chill cool the right subsections of the brain, to usher the unconscious along, self-inquiry and dissolving seem like some of the best, albeit imperfect, tools we have.

That was simply beautiful. Logical, clear and nice. Actually it is our turn to do this "work" and not only hear or read about it. I think that is one of the greatest obstacles.. We always want to see, read, hear something but it's discipline which brings us further.

And out of this silent Self pours love and true understanding, as well as words and explanations like your video.

I don't think the "ego" (Not a fan of the word) is ever eliminated. We just stop identifying with mind. "Knowing that I am not the mind, why should I care if it is busy or silent?". The fact that it does indeed fall silent is more a matter of knowing 'neti neti' than any effort of uprooting mind.

Dude. Best description I have had so far. Subscribed! Cheers from Australia 🙏

Great approach

The mind is part of the simulation and any effort, any movement the mind makes is still within the simulation inevitably. It takes an “element” from beyond the simulation to see through it: Awareness or Presence or Consciousness (depending on the preferred semantic). What some call the Universal Mind is still within the simulation like a super powerful program (ungraspable by the little human mind) overseeing the whole thing.

This a great visualization scott. Thank you for this

Thanks for your content, I found it very interesting!

Very informative, Thanks 🙏

Very good presentation but I had to watch it twice to get the full meaning. My question is, how does one remain quiet forever?

Thank you Scott. Does daily gratitude journal also fall under the same category as affirmations?

So toughts, pictures and ideas in the mind are just movements. Would the silent background be Me ? The actual Self ?

I have found abiding in a state of non attachment, daily tasks of self maintenance etc become useless. Do you find there to be an 'effort' transitioning between states to fulfill human obligations or is seamless experience occuring?

How come the egoic movements/ egoic self arise from the real Self ?

Is it possible to have too many Vasanas and Samskaras that blocks Self from realising itSelf ?
