Tibetan Buddhism and Non-Duality by James Low 

Imperfection is beautiful Andi enjoy the beauty of imperfection

I think one of the best talks on nondualism I've ever seen, through the filter of any nondual tradition. ☺🙏

without effort or pride, gentle, serene, alive.

Truly a blessing, Id like to imagine that this is how guru rinpoche talked

i detect no end to suffering in this jibber jabber.

@@zyxmyk the goal is to step beyond jibber jabber, but a little jibber jabber is often required to point out the exits..

i know what you mean

Science is wrong only in its reliance on materialism as being the ground of all existence. But during the last 100 years, science has begun to show (to itself) cracks in that belief. *And it IS a belief.* The entire scientific method is based upon that belief. 100 years after Quantum Theory, and scientists STILL haven't settled on any one interpretation of it. That is because it appears to rely on the observer................ Science no longer allows room for even philosophy, which is its Godfather. Science was originally called "Natural Philosophy." But materialists have wrested control even from them. While science has given us many nice things, it has also unleashed the terrible power of nuclear war. This is all based upon science's belief in material existence being primary, and ironically threatens the annihilation of it all. On the other hand, everything in Dzogchen, Advaita, and every other non-dual teaching is based upon that which everyone is aware. No beliefs necessary. Consciousness is obviously primary, or science wouldn't have waited until the 1990's to even BEGIN any attempt at studying it. I presume that science will soon need to revise its method to include consciousness. And once it is forced to do this, the game is up. Why scientists struggle so hard for their belief is quizzical, because realization of non-dual reality does not at all constrict or limit scientific discovery. That is the beauty of it. While certain scientists appear hellbent on "disproving" everything non-material. Scientists like Sam Harris already study non-duality teachings. And the cracks will continue to grow and multiply.

Waiting, huh? ;) Forward? Ah!

Wow! All the best. I’m supposed to do my practice is absolute slack :/

wrong view.

its scottish, i believe, not sure which part of scotland though.

I think the word "pure" is used due to lack of words describing what is unborn or never come into being.

he was a yogi too, of a sort

Who's that, keep hearing about him

@@babygorl9541 He's basically a sex magick left hand hermetic kabbalist. Called himself the Great Beast 666.The founder of Thelema. Grew up in a puritan environment and gave his soul to the devil because they were boring as hell hahaha. That other book on the shelf titled "Moon Child" That's a goody too.

@@sawtoothiandi Yeah he tryed a bunch of stuff. He was a advocate of Pranayama and talked about a lot of different types of meditation practices too. You could say he was a Vajrayana tantrik with out the Vajrayana or buddhist ethics or precepts. I guess Mr Low want's folks to tune into him or he wouldn't be standing in front of his books. He should be standing in front of Daniel Cozorts book "Highest Yoga Tantra" That would be a much better introduction to Vajrayana sex Magick. It certainly explains the direction of possible sanity and enlightenment you might want to go. It explains the stages of generation of the winds or kundalini how to lock that in the central channel, what happens and what you experience if it's not or is. Explains what the completion stage of generation of the winds (kundalini ).Talks about real or imaginary sexual consorts, blue drop visualization meditation, meditating on the empties or emptiness etc etc . It's pretty heavy. Beware, you get into all that stuff you could lose your mind.. That's kind of the whole point.

@@alankuntz6494 think i lost mine a few sun laps ago. yeah, regards crowley, his personal ethics sure seemed to be deficient from a regular buddhist viewpoint. though i wonder how much of his shock-rock aesthetic is in the vein of alice cooper, black sabbath, marilyn manson et al?

See that oceanic consciousness is already realized. headless.org

We are deluded from the first moment and continue to be deluded.

@@MrCookding It doesn't help with western materialist science. By the way, Buddhists imo shouldn't be appealing to science.

@@nik8099 theoretical buddhist or experimental buddhist?

@@MrCookding What are the differences? But both I guess.

@@nik8099 We should approach Buddhism like an experimental scientist moving toward realizing the nature of mind (not by concepts). In the teaching, it also mentions we should approach it like a smart businessman.

well done. impossible to tell if you are trolling, perplexed, or enlightened............

Well you tell us about it then..What's your idea?

What you have in mind?

To share the teachings is considered the best kind of generosity, like Buddha Shakyamuni himself did, non less than the source of all this wisdom

Nondualism is a word that simply points to the fact that all phenomenon (everything) is the play of duality.Once duality is understood it is simply recognized that living is nondual. headless.org

Non-duality doesn't mean never making sounds.....
