Reflected vs Pure Consciousness - Freedom from the Need of Spiritual Experiences | Nonduality

In this dialogue Adrian explains the difference between reflected consciousness and pure consciousness. He shows through a metaphor how we can get over the need for spiritual experiences (what he refers to as "volume up peace" or "presence") and how we can actually 'find' lasting freedom and happiness through clear understanding (jnana).
He also shows how this "volume up presence" can actually be helpful on the spiritual path or non-dual pathless path. Furthermore he also briefly explains, in the context of this dialogue, the difference between savikalpa samadhi, nirvikalpa samadhi and sahaja samadhi.
This is an excerpt from the online "Meetings in Beings" recorded on October, 22nd 2023.

EVERY experience MUST come through the individual self; it is only by means of the individuality that spiritual states can be known. Otherwise there will only be blankness. So the body-mind is the most important thing in a spiritual sense. People who condemn the mind and ego are morons. There are too many teachers saying this because they are ignorant of the deeper aspects of recognizing Being. Shankara mentioned this in commenting on the Brahma Sutras. The spiritual Self, Atman, has always existed; it is everywhere. When it reveals itself to personal awareness, that is enlightenment
