I kind of get lost in all of your words...

nondualty = one deep rabbit hole-or not-my brain is spinning. You're take on this is really nice. You demonstrate a compassion for others & an interest in the materialization of the forms. I'm watching videos about nonduality & find what you mention in the various 'styles' of teaching. I'm interested in a sustained peace & delight. I do find that the transient experiences of it indeed are hard to put into words. I remember Eckhart Tolle said he essentially sat on a bench for 2 years afterward.

Emptiness is form and form is emptiness, yes this is true. As physics has shown all matter is 99.9999% empty space. Everything in the Universe is energy, everything is light.
-
Too true. Non-duality thinking had me judging teachers and teachings as either dualistic (bad) and non-dualistic (good). In this classification Nisargadatta came over as somewhat dualistic but now I love his words.
As Niz points out Tony says there is no awareness, but that happens to be the word that resonates for me. For me if there is no awareness then there is no being, but it's just words and different people have different preferences.

You can find it in his last youtube videos...I love the way Tony expresses that;so clear and funny!and no food for concepts...for Tony clearly there is no awareness,just as he says "wild aliveness"...so the witness can die for good!
-
As Tony Parsons says this "knowing" or non conceptual awareness" are still transitory states...in liberation,all of that collapses and there is just...what is happening! :-)
-
The non conceptual awareness is so more attractive for some that the ordinary everything!and they continually repeat that you are not that ,not that,but that is still mind stuff and separation!good stuff Scott!...;-)
-
One can say, no? that everything is awareness or perception--same thing. And what else could it be? The only being anything has is in its being perceived, while it is being perceived.
That's really good Niz. I didn't know Tony said that. Was that in a book or video of his?

Yes Niz.
Although "not this and not that" can be helpful in seeing that we aren't individual selves, it can also--like any pointer--create fundamentalism. A sort of trap in which life is witnessed instead of lived and in which we believe we are NO-thing OVER THERE separate from EVERYthing else. It's all so innocent really, but funny...
