@prhughes0 Agreed!

Glad it has worked for you. When I used to see Tony it didn't work and I saw few for who it did. Most got trapped in the "Who's going to do that trap" for years. I always wondered how many if any got liberated but I am glad it liberated you.

@YouGazzaa Can't even say that "it worked" or that "it liberated me"...only that all hope of becoming "liberated/enlightened" seems to have disappeared, and that This/Now is (usually) sufficient. Could be nothing more than a natural consequence of age. Desires for "more and better" (communication, health, sex, future financial security, mostly) often arise...is that liberated? Don't know, don't really care. Has been fun to listen, laugh and play cameraman. No one gets liberated.

@prhughes0 If it has worked for you then I can't argue with that. Out of interest to me the whole "there is no self" is a dualistic teaching. In true non-duality nothing that appears has an independent nature (it can't be said to either exist or not exist) however in neo advaita the self is definitely said to not exist. In reality the self both exists and doesn't exist and like trees, thoughts and events etc. doesn't need to be made a special case of or dropped. thanks for the videos.

@YouGazzaa Lao Tzu "said it all" in his opening disclaimer: The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. "The" truth cannot be said. Interest in debating anything said (by Tony, anyway) has declined to a dull murmur. Just doesn't really matter.

Tony is only a trap into which seekers may stumble.

There is nothing you can do, but apparently you can go to a T.P. meeting and the energy openness can be transmitted to the not-you in some mysterious way. Sounds like new age B.S.

[prhughes0]

@YouGazzaa It does sound like that. On the other hand, the frustrated desire (suffering) of spiritual seeking and aspiration hasn't shown up here for quite some time now.

[YouGazzaa]

@prhughes0 Sounds good to me. For me it all became clearer when someone said that the separate self and the no-self were totally equal in awareness, and then I was able to let go of the idea that the "me" was the problem. Now I don't care if I am being a someone or not, it's all free-- no energetic shift needed either. Great that you document these meetings.

[JMac1868]

That which is being sought is completely abstract, paradoxical, and wholly unknowable. Obviously no rational action can lead you to it. You can't move toward that which doesn't exist. What you're looking for is the all encompassing, infinitely powerful and infinitely deep explosion of nothing into everything in what could be referred to in terms of time as this moment. The time traveler, you, is the dream that all that exists manifests over time according to cause and effect. It's not true.

[JMac1868]

All of "our" comments and apparent understanding is a story. The story of me. The story is me. The story of understanding that this is a story is itself a story. And round and round it goes... apparently.

everything is the miracle, nothing is the miracle, its all spontaneous and alive, and its all one thing, nothing.
