if you experience non dual awareness you'll probably be shocked and frightened, and have absolutely no doubt about the truth of it. that's how it was for me. you'll also instantly pull back from it.
Actually it is beyond the existent and the non-existent. It's the one thing that can never exist or not exist and that's the reason it is considered most sacred. To get a real understanding and realize it in this world, which implies dualism more than anything else, is truely sometimes a hard thing to achieve. But after, it can literally change ones life.
Peter Fenner do you even know what the hell you were talking about during this interview? I'd like to assign values to all of his contradictory, confusing, and nearly incoherent statements, but some of us have day jobs. He's like word jello - push down on one side to see what's there, and he denies anyone could ever know what could be there - push down on the other side - and he states in absolutes as if he actually knows everything - authoritarian and unscientific babbler = religionist
One of my favorite teachers, his words have a flavor of realization that shifts my attention from thought to that which is prior to thought , all my dramas seem pretty dreamlike soon after listening, with a pleasurable feeling ta boot. He uses thought & feeling intuitively to transcend those same tendencies. If you find yourself thinking more after listening to this type of teacher, the message is not getting through, this is about Being No-Thing
Talk about talking in dualities. Existence that doesn't exist. The non-being of Beingness... Hey how about this: "Just turn on that radio in back of you. We can all be quiet and peaceful and have a few beers together and listen to the music." Now that exists. This life isn't always about trying to talk in absolutes. Just let your soul sing. Play baby play. It's all Shiva dancing.
My opinion is that it is a waste of time to judge. By now everyone here might know that they are the authority. Who cares which gurus charge and which freely come from a place of truth. Are you questioning who you are each moment? If you aren't maybe its time to do it ceaselessly and then see what happens to the energy behind all opinions.
There IS an experiencer and there is not one. It's everything and nothing all at once. Kinda like the 0s and 1s in the binary code of the Matrix. I feel that those were symbolic of this shit being everything (1) and nothing (0) at the same time.
It's quite simple. You know you're experiencing nondual awareness when you no longer even give a fuck. I didn't even watch this video. Who cares? Not out of spite or hate do I say that, but it doesn't matter, I made this video and everything else in the Universe. I Am...
@acuaman42 words are clumsy to descibe the indiscribable,I would have to say from my own experience,that Awareness becomes Aware of itself,so in a way there is something that knows whats what.
It is not unconscious,you, not ego,is wide awake,but you can't describe it,its outside the minds capability to understand it.
@eaglerock999 You say "FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE", wakening IS NOT AN EXPERIENCE, all advaita speakers know it and you also know that from the time you were a baby, when you had no EGO. That is not difficult to understand but all the new age gurus want to do it difficult in order to make money, I hope you are not one of them.
I think this is one of the best explanations I've ever heard about the thing that can not be conceptualized. It is so smooth that when you try to hard to find it it will never be found. It just is, and just can not be compound to every one in the same way. It is that immens and indestructable.
But always here. As if everything actually comes through it. The only referencepoint which remains where everything can be experienced. Unconditioned. Neti, Neti. It's not that, not that.
what this man says is true: during my experience there was one overwhelming sense; that the essence that was being experienced was INVULNERABLE. This is the "truth that will set you free"....there IS NO DEATH.
its far out!Its nice.I believe its the future of the future,either thse monkeys get it or they dont,they either go or they dont,no time zone,an irrealevent reality.Its probably joyous peace,and growing there is understanding and seeing more truth,its jesus
What is aware of no thought?,awareness,it can be experienced by asking "Who AM I" if you get a reply,ask "to whom does this thought arise?" keep doing this,and the mind will quieten,leaving awareness,the Self. peace of mind..... you are that awareness.
One simple exercise I find to be helpful in finding a basic realization is something Ken Wilber said, That nondual realty or our truest self is not dependent upon objects, afew times a day simply stop, look around, realize that your true self is not dependent upon objects and simply realize "I am", distance yourself from these objects and even realize that your body and thoughts are objects.
One way to put it, to give the mind something to hold onto... The ONLY way to Know THAT is to become one with THAT. Awareness is AWARE of ITs SELF AS all that IS and IS NOT. Take everything "else" away and still AWARENESS is AWARE of ITS SELF. "We" are nothing but Awareness mirroring for its own SELF. Now that's clear right? LOL
wtf does he mean when he says 'there is no this' at 0.48. sounds very contradictory and un-understandable via language.

This man does not know what he is taking about.
Nonduality or awakening IS NOT AN EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE THERE IS NOONE TO EXPERIENCE ANYTHING.
Better watch Tony Parsons, Sailor Bob or Jeff Foster videos. There danger is that you might disappear.
Good Luck

seeing all these self-proclaimed gurus popping up left and right these days is frightening.
the more common they become, the more obscured and distorted actual understanding will become.
Huang Po, Lin-Chi, Hakuin, Ramana Maharshi, and Jiddu Krishnamurti to name a few are worth your attention and time.
