NON-DUALITY 101

Today’s podcast is excerpted from a recent talk, an introduction to some of the basic pointers of non-dual wisdom. In Sanskrit, non-duality is known as Advaita, or “not two.”

In this talk from May 31st, I discuss: 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼👇

• The basic pointer - there is no individual doer of any action

• The peace that comes to the ego with acceptance of its place in Totality

• “Events happen, deeds are done, but there is no individual doer thereof.”

• The Ocean, the Wave, and the Drop of Water as a model of Consciousness

• Ego’s mistaking itself as separate from Ocean as a definition of suffering

• The role of deep Listening (Śravaṇa in Sanskrit) in relaxing into the next happening, or movement in Consciousness

• The breath and its critical role in transitions to avoid injury, whether physical or psychological

• The relief from existential suffering that is possible with non-dual understanding

All there is, is Ocean.

“Thoughts without a thinker, seeing without a seer, experiencing without an experiencer. If one looks – with sincerity and whole, open-mindedness – one may ultimately see that there is no central operating mechanism. This seeing and knowing may also happen at any time, regardless of the inquiry practice.”
