I love the discussion about what’s been called the awareness trap. When I began self-inquiry, “who am I?” became “what am I?” when it was realized that the sense of self wasn’t a person. Still without an answer, the question became “where am I?” Am I behind my eyes looking out at the universe and controlling this body? The next question was “am I?” Is this sense of awareness or consciousness that’s seemingly separate from the contents of awareness really me, or is it another thought? Is it even possible for awareness to be completely independent of the contents of awareness? If not, then can I even be awareness? Isn’t it the case that the sense of self as pure awareness is just another arising in awareness?
I just discovered you and adore watching you over the last few days. It’s very much helping me to explain the story to others. I was trying to explain the dream state to my fiancé last night and this says it perfectly. I’ve felt this nowness in pieces my whole life and didn’t understand any of it until my awakening a few months back. Non duality is so wild and free 🙏
Wonderful Nicole, that’s music to my ears🥰, where in the world do you live, I’d be happy to schedule a one on one with you if you’d like? Do you have WhatsApp? Or messenger? You can find me here on WhatsApp +61 473337819, please let me know when you have used my phone number so I can delete it from here. 😁 Terrence
But you can stop what's happening in your life in your mind but I no what you saying not to think about it that's it freedom 🙄🤔🇬🇧🙏🧙♀️from Lancashire England UK
So there is this conscious awareness. It is all by itself. It is all of everything. And everything that is not that is barely of interest. This consciousness that is not conscious of a second is so enthralling. But there is no one there to be enthralled. Then there is some really different things playing out on the script that there is no “I” doing. It’s laws defy all human earth laws and only 2 or so earth people would understand. And they would understand because they also know they are not here and that consciousness just Is.
We are not real and it’s all a dream yet your sitting explaining this but what are you meant to do. Just do nothing with your dream life! Times a mental construct etc yet shops an things that’s run in these constructs we all have to be in with made up time! It’s all contradictory
Yes, the nature of duality is contradictory, instead of trying to think your way into an understanding, go to your direct experience right here right now, now, from here, what is your direct experience of time? What is the experience of time, not what you think time is used for🙏
pointers are not trying to win a debate with the mind. pointers are trying to get the mind to sftu completely. this is wonderful stuff.
I love your pointers. Thanks ❤

Nice one Terry!

Am now accepting not knowing what's this and it's okay 😊
Not easy but I think I understand what you saying how do you forget the past trauma 🇬🇧
Realise it’s not true🙏
Great video, Thank you Terrence.
Has your message changed slightly recently with more emphasis on 'just this'?
It’s all simply message, there is no idea what’s going to come out next, just this was coming out of my mouth in the mid 80s 😁
