SAND 2013 Conference Interview: Tony Parson 

My favourite pointer: Nothing needs to change in order to Be. You don't have to know or do anything in order to Be. It's a freebie 😇

F****ing amazing for no one! Thank you tony !!#

This is what I like about Tony Parsons. The straight goods without the romanticizing, without the pomp, ceremony and ritual. This is the truth. If the truth is not to your liking, by all means, find yourself a nice and comfortable belief system to waste away the rest of your life with. Chasing rainbows you lucky fool!

"He's" the best!

Hi Tony - fortunately you are not a therapist thank goodness. I met you years ago and met nobody - glorious !

wonderful...

This is hilarious in the best way 😂🙏

Life is an spontaneously happening mystery. The only teaching one will ever found is how to not be spontaneous which creates the illusion of a me seeking security and control. That’s an deterministic way of seeing life , is dualistic, and creates an appearance which we call “the world”. It is illusory because the “me” is nothing else but a memory of patterns which is looking from a separate point of view at everything. Once that memory collapses, what remains? :)) “I” is always the past or future , which is an abstract process. What is present has no identity and no meaning and once the memory empties content, what remains is an infinite point of “attention” or so called “awareness”.

Love this ! 😂

Toney made "me" cry.

🙏

It is love and it is hope!

Turn the longing around. There is nothing to get.

Very nice 👍🕉️🕉️🇮🇳🇮🇳

The apparent seeker is really the seeker. It's just a language thing.

This is basically no difference from a Catholic priest saying God did it and his ways are inscrutable.

Where does the love comes from, it is love and hope!

You’ll see it when the body dies if you can’t let go now.

The mythos of therapy is a big business and the idea of an abreaction by sharing seems rather silly

A bit silly dismissing therapy this way. Saying that it's based on the idea that you need to change or something's "wrong". Therapy can remove distractions, pain points, be about acceptance or recognition or understanding, rather than "change" so much. Imagine being a victim of child abuse. War scars. Those things interfere with one's ability to relax into oneness and self-transcend. Why pretend the work of untying spiritual knots, healing confusions and wrong attachments, wrong thought, all of which could fall under "therapy", is so "separate" from anything good/valuable. It's like saying bandages and blood transfusions are pointless because there's nothing to fix. Why should he even be talking? This is clearly beyond concept. If you try to distill it and reason with it, you get just some blunt instrument that just cancels and denies everything. It's very separative oddly. Separating out things that seem separative (by some prejudice). Believing something is wrong with you is a wound... that doesnt mean recognizing and healing the wound is somehow perpetuating the wound, or reinforcing the idea of "something wrong".

i do not understand his laughing, him laughing.

An example of what tooo much nonduality can do to a persons psyche, making them alienated from themSelves, other people, and reality. Noone has bothered to tell this poor man. Well, maybe they have, but it's not going to help him.

Funny, I never had any desire to listen to this guy. Two minutes into this talk, I can see why. The “absolute,” without corresponding compassion for the grittiness of our humanity, just seems barren and cold. I can see how it could work for some, but not here, thank you…

Bullshit
