Letting it all go bit by bit day by day... I finally stopped being the person I never really was...

Shanti Shanti Shanti

Once you become, you will. Consciousness just is, no beginning, no end. You are, we are, 1. Peace...

Once you realize we are all just walking each other home, back to a place we never even left to begin with, the game is over. We are ONE consciousness experiencing itself. ONE is the loneliest number, it is also the ONLY number. God got bored so here we are. If you choose to not play, meditate and identify with the OMNI-SELF, which is 96% of the known and unknown universe. It is the default void state of pure nothingness and infinite potentiation of emptiness. In this state you will find a bliss beyond any measure of definition

You are correct. There’s nothing to be attached to and no one to attach to it.

During one of my awakenings, I got that the biggest joke on humanity is everyone is walking around thinking they are real. A real separate self.

? ? ...Am I understanding this teaching correctly ? Acceptance of What is, Is vital. Do not resist . One must not allow the Jiva- the personality disorder, make a judgment on What Is. Furthermore polarities are complimentary, therefore embrace it all ... don't lose your peace it's the super position. Supernal❤

Sometimes some of the stuff you say is so profound that I just sit in amazement

Humble sage serving us to enlighten our paths.....thanks Jason your books, videos and experience are the fuel to nurture our souls daily.

Another great one, thanks for a great content, as always 🙏

Really love the Thomas Byrom translation.

I pretty much hate everything equally. Hate the entire foundation of life, all of it and everything that arises from it

thank you for help translating and breaking down spiritual wisdom into easier understanding formats. I have played this video many times because it rings so true and I so desperately want to escape the ups and downs of my own self being.

I love the Johnny Cash song I Walk the Line, it always reminds me of the ying yang symbol and I'm walking the wavey line down the middle, sometimes stepping into darkness, sometimes into the light, ultimately living the way of the middle path. Great video thanks!

Excellent episode Jason. Once again, equanimity is the key. Thank you! 👍🕉

Always so good to be reminded 😊, thank you Jason 🙏✨

State of gratitude

Thank you always

Thank you very much! Since i have been on a spiritual path i have gone through so many transformative experiences so now when I am hearing vedanta messages I am feeling at peace because it gives me reassurance in the choices i am making daily. Your vidoes are such a blessing. Thank you ❤

I just would like to thank you ever since i watch your show I have more faith in people.

We are all just in a game of Snakes and Ladders in the mind of The All.

We never left each other, or we can't really, that's the joke. The awaking is just an acclimation of old knowledge, that is, that we are all connected. The true struggle at this point of yuga is battling with the body and leaving behind the judgment of the earth body. The truth I've found through enlightenment is that the only true way is through love and faith. Love is the antidote, and faith is the means in which you take action. I recommend anyone that reads this take time to re-evaluate your jaded mindset, identify what's negative and always challenge it with love 💙

Thank you as always. Needless to say but I am delighted to see you haha.

This is the conclusion I cane finally to without practicing any specific spiritual teachings. But I cannot figure out how to detach and still be in this world.

Another good podcast... Thanks, Jason

1:44 Once the non-dual realization arises, with eyes open, there is only oneness and the mind is still. Everything in the field of vision is one, uninterrupted and coherent mass of stimuli and response, the viewer and the viewed are dissolved into one, only the viewing is present. There is no "I", no knowledge, no questioning, there is only sensing.

thanks for reminding us of the truth

I heard it summed up well from spirit. There is no right or wrong, only learning lessons.

Thank you!

Blessings 🙏🏼💜💫

Beautifully explained. 🙏🏽

Great as usual Jason ! Thanks for more precious information. ❤

Thank you for this information. You presented it very clearly and I enjoyed listening to you. I think I need to hear more. Thank you

Amazing!!!

I truly need a better advice other than "complete detachment". I have witnessed first hand how that makes an individual cold and calculative devoid of true empathy or compassion. I need to understand how one would feel gratitude for/refect on their current circumstance without some form of healthy attachment. Please help! We are spiritual beings having a human experience so wouldn't detachment take away from that experience? If moderation is key, then where does it lie?

The division between Maya and Brahman is also part of this.

This vairagya is easily possible after Enlightenment, but struggle is the only way until we achieve the enlightenment.

Ashtawakra geeta ( Sri Ram time.. end of *Tretayug*) came before Krishna Geeta ( Mahabharat war time ..end of *Dwaparyug*).. we are in *Kalyug*.. Osho says Krishna Geeta is for 95% of people and Astawakra Geeta is for 5%.. enlightment is not far .. it can happen right here right now.. it has always been.. u cant find anything which u have never lost.. its there.. -Ashtawakra Local from Mt. Kailash 🙏

Thank you, that was very helpful!

Fantastic 💕🙏🌏

Love it, subscribed. HariBol

Another great video which speaks to the self rather than the mind, thank you Jason. I’ve been getting some video recommendations from people who are recovering from what they call neo-advaita. I’d never heard of this before. Would you care to share your thoughts on neo-advaita? Is it a trap that we should worry about falling into?

wow!!!! amazingly explained,

Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. Spirits having physical experience learning balance. Cheers

Very well said, even some indian gurus can't explain this so easily but you did very well 🙏🏼

❤YES AND AMEN 🙏 THANK YOU...!! "GOING WITH THE FLOW."..I PAINTED A PAINTING OF THE OCEAN WAVE AND NAMED IT THAT....MEDITATION IS A MUST...!!!

I am new to the idea of nonduality. I have a question, humbly asked. It seems to me that the achievement of non duality is characterised in language by terms such as enlightenment, perfection, mastery. These words seem very grounded in ego(?) …so an enlightened individual is now separate from the unenlightened, but how can this be? That sounds live drawing a distinct line and therefore creating duality. This must seem a naive question, but if anyone could help clarify my confusion, that would be great. Thanks

That which comes of itself. ANANDA... thanks first i've heard it this way.

I have to keep reminding myself ...how am I thinking atmo because things are just happening I am just witnessing and who is I anyway..easy for me to get caught up in my character/ego😅

School - I sure don't want to come back to the human zoo ! learnt to detach and watch the show , characters indeed !

The Construct that defines material life is so simple and that is the joke itself. We are flesh encapsulations of the nothingness of space. Space is divided into flesh embodiments. Contained within these embodiments is the same only space. But we forget and think we are the embodiments, instead of the space embodied.

Jason I want to tell you something mind blowing. Im a yoga teacher in India I would love to connect with you personally. Jason Ashtavakra is literally the greatest book in the world, but the crazy fact is that it corresponds to the Schrodingers cat experiment, that means only the witness exists. Life is only a projection. I can explain it better this and more such crazy theories if you allow me.

Very good. Thank you.

The true meaning of ‘I am That’ is a pointing, a mantra, which is getting the I to collapse the binary between I and that, or the other. ‘I am that otherness’ is another way to say it. Once ‘that ness’ and ‘I ness’ are unified then we shed the mask and relax back into our underlying pre dual being

I wish i could get a reading order on the most important books about self realization. I started with the upanishads,bhagavad gita and basic Buddhist text,but it would be of great help

No. Good and evil are not just "points of view". There's tons of interpretations on good and evil which truly are points of view but the things in and of themselves are not. What is truly good is fairly easy to spot, it's evil that's the tricky bit, which fits with it's nature, but when you see it there's no mistaking it. If you don't think it's real then you've never seen it, and if someone calls something that's evil good because it benefits them or they're something like a sadist then it's their lens that's distorted. That doesn't prove it's not real. I hesitate to even mention this due to not really wanting to spread knowledge of it around and if you actually go looking for it you'll probably get noticed by more than a few government agencies, but there's a recording that exists called "Daisy's Destruction". I've never seen it and do not want to but the descriptions I've heard are more than enough to make anyone physically ill. All I'll say is it's child abuse of the worst kind and it apparently goes on for a long time, to the point where the child becomes mentally broken. Ever hear of the "pit of despair" experiments with monkeys? It's like that except worse. That is what evil looks like. That's not "a point of view". That's evil and it's real.

To many words and name droppings to explain a simple truth. 😊

Om Namah Shivaya

I felt an understanding of what you are pointing to, like a recognition and a glimpse of deeper understanding 🙏.

All realize value. Few value realization. The realization of being is of value. Existence is of everything in the process of being. Experience being (the verb). The realization of being is in the experience of being. Simply be. The Creator is in the process of being: join in.

Ahhh... You seem to understand that all which is born of fertile maya matrix is dukkha...samsara!6:13

If, for whatever reason, I am banished to an island and am only allowed to take one book (preferably also a pair of reading glasses) with me, then that is the Ashtavakra samhita. :)

I bought your book Jason ❤❤❤

❤❤❤

3:20 holy shit the story of Adam and Eve and the tree of knowledge of good and evil makes way more sense now when you connect this to that

The mind is a physical thing. All physical things can be altered. Life is, quite literally, what you make it.

I don’t know if I am “awakened” or not. I have no way to tell. However, I do remember in the first grade, my mother driving me home, I realized the nature of concept duality. I think it was basic things - colors like black / white, or hot / cold. I much later I realized that our brains operate exactly like a computer - which is based on “0” vs. “1” - e.g. binary duality. All your perceptions are comparisons of neural circuits in your brain, so ultimately all your ideas, thoughts, ideas are dualistic at their cores. Basic feelings like pain or grief or ecstasy are different - they are what they are and not derived from memory. So, you can’t avoid thinking in dualistic terms. You just have to treat ideas like tools - a hammer, a level, a tape measure, so on. Everything you think is relative. The bigget snow-job though is the “Mind/Body” problem. There’s no “real” difference between them - just two concepts with different associations, and thinking they are fundamentally different is just an illusion.

Enjoy duality. Life is experience, adventure, chills and thrills, gamble, hazard, risk, challenge, not boring, and then you die.

This seems to be the crux of spirituality. I struggle with this whole subject that you discuss in this video. These teachings seem to come from a central source and spread out around the world. That being said…….. here’s where I take some issue. We are facing organized evil that is set to digitize humanity. Do we just sit and allow this? The warrior faces this evil. We swat flies and we fight evil-not out of fear. The Scythians saw everyone as brothers but they beat down evil as it reared its ugly head. I’m reading that I am in duality or is it reality? This organized evil has highjacked the holographic world we find ourselves in. Can we swat the fly? Did MLK waste his and our time? Help?

Be happy

Actually the ultimate truth of Oneness is irrelevant to the purpose of the Universe and Human beings. The One that we are all little parts of, went to great lengths to form the illusion of individuality so we could find out how it feels to meet a mysterious other. Why? Because the One was over being One. The One had done everything that's interesting as One. Then looking for something new and interesting the One wondered how it would feel to meet a mysterious other. I realized this while in full samadhi. This means that each human being and the universe was formed to explore meeting mysterious others and what makes that possible is duality in which the One divides everything into opposite polarities that emerge from the central Oneness that is all that actually exists. However, with a dualistic reality and individual humans who express masculine and feminine qualities like light and dark, hot and cold, hard and soft, etc. we are able to discover something the One didn't know, how it feels to meet a mysterious other. In fact, the One designed the Universe and Humans so that we would effortlessly explore meeting mysterious others. We do it all the time, and through us the One is learning about relationships of all sorts. At this point, love has become the most interesting relationship dynamic of all. So to explore love more fully, a new era is about to begin. Most of humanity will be removed from the Earth to fulfill their desires in the astral heavens. Meanwhile, those who have learned to open their heart (the atman or inner god who resides in the heart), follow their heart (intuition and conscience) and open to love will inherit the earth to experience a new era of peace and love. Obviously the so called spiritual masters who think that escaping the illusion of individuality it the goal are very mistaken. They are actually cheating to avoid their purpose. I've had three full samadhi experiences, I know how glorious it is. However the most wonderful samadhi came while I was practicing Red Tantra with my beloved for a week, making love for hours every day in nature. We became one and the Universe disappeared leaving my awareness in a dark void, then the explosion of an infinite orgasm produced the most amazing experience ever. My solo samadhis where less amazing, far less. It's all about duality, embracing the other and opening to love. That is our purpose. Escape if you want. Forgo your purpose. You have free will.

Duality doesnt even come close to time. Progression and reflection do. Might as well throw the marriage blanket out the window on inspiration as well.

🙏

Are the antological concepts of truth and justice affected by this?

I imagine there is a singular conscience viewing itself through distorted mirrors, kind of like a funhouse maze, and the distorted images are interpreted as 'others', when in truth it is viewing itself, but filtered by time and space. The joke is when that conscienceness becomes aware of the funhouse and laughs at the sillyness of the whooe charade. In that moment, I imagine the realization of lonelieness once the laughter wears off leads them to reenter the funhouse again in search of truth.

I neither liked nor disliked this video

Is achieving happiness at any cost a purpose for life? These Buddhist-like detachment teachings can make you delusional and unrealistic about the harsh realities around you. What if "happiness" itself was an evolutionary illusion, as a defense mechanism to survive?

As the saying goes : “ when In Rome be as Romans “ So when the consciousness is trapped in the human body then the consciousness has to follow the rules of the human body but doing so should not mean that the trapped consciousness should identify as the human body because the consciousness has qualities so pure and superior that no biological entities can keep up with and that’s the driving force that animates all biological beings.

It seems obvious what is said in this video. Not that I can master this mindset or no mindset but maybe because I’ve seen and heard so many videos saying this 😅👍 even from this channel

When you find true bliss that's when it's time to start to pay more attention to what's going on in the real world! If you don't eat, you will be eaten!

Read the book. ' Merging With Siva ' by Himalayan Academy.

what is opposite of Ananda?

Um.......so what's the universal joke? I kinda feel mislead from your thumbnail.....should it be more about "duality explained"? Ananda is cool! And I think I've found it,it also is a funny joke. I am plagued by negative thoughts, Embarrassing moments, stupid stuff ive done. After enduring so much, just to not think becomes extremely pleasurable😂

Pls tell about Sankhya Yog and Dvait Vedant

Its all in the level of bodmas (÷×+-) so in this space there exists God divided and multiplied himself into man animals trees and insects which can only add, while death or the devil subtracts This world is just an expanded bracket ) Being reduced shows the experience of how big it is 😊

to say 'do not of life and act not in life, and you'll be the best alive.' is to: "be not of life and not live in life, and shortly therein after you'll crash un-alive." most critically acclaimed monks seen in interviews and presented over social media in a non-actin format oft times don't smile, and yet when they do, "most" of those monks force their purposed happiness for the sake of the 🧿 on the front & backside of these newage electrical bricks they're so worried about...

It only looks good on paper

Division, duality is the mechanism by which the earth plane exists and motion and evolution happens. It is far from stupid. Although as an enlightened individual you can see duality from a higher perspective and not be controlled by it, you see it for what it is which is sacred in the process of creation. I would select another word other than stupid.

Unattachment is still duality

🙏🏽🕉️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Its almost a pity an Australian knows Ashtavakra Gita but I never met a Hindu who does.

Actually there is no true happiness or sorrow in this reality. Here every sorrow is connected to happiness and every happiness is connected to a sorrow. Only until you start to observe these two phenomenon from the distance of detachment you will find Vairagya or in Sufism we sometimes call Musafir. We are all Musafirs(travellers) but most of us get entangled in sorrow or happiness along our journey. The Musafir observes everything while herself/himself remaining unattached. Everything passes by as the journey continues. Nothing is pleasing or sad on that journey...

Good Luck with that effort

They invented the dual ?

👌❤️

it's also a state embodied by the fish in my fish tank

So he's saying it not "bad "to murder a person. And it's not "good" to feed a poor person. Hmm I don't agree
