This distinction seems to be required now since so many people are confused by these words. The great philosopher and mystic Franklin Merrell-Wolff went so far as to distinguish in all his aphorisms either "consciousness with an object" or "consciousness without an object." One time I was thinking about "consciousness without an object" and it suddenly occurred to me that, if there was no content, then there's no difference between mine or anyone else's, even animals and all living things. So it really was possible for there just to be one consciousness that we all share. This realization happened at a deep level and was my first experience of "Oneness" or "unity consciousness." Thank you!
… also, I’ve been trying to grasp the distinction between awareness and consciousness, or the absolute and the I am, for a long time. It just became clear as I listened to your reading of Nisargadatta. 🙏🏼
Really glad to have cleared that up 🙏🙏. I read and re-read Nisargadatta, all of his dialogues, meditated over his words and pointers over the course of many months to clear this up for myself. It is a crucial distinction and everything will fall into place now that you're past it.
@@untangle-your-mind thank you so much for that additional encouragement! Gradually seeing more clearly that “all is Shiva”. Deepening peace, though mind still tries to hold certain beliefs as “mine”. But it can be seen that they are all emptiness, along with all apparently solid objects and beings. Deeply grateful for the clear pointings and powerful reminders. 🙏🏼
💙🙏 As most of your sharing's, this one is a keeper, to be heard in the depth of it's profound sens. These precious pearls, is what I was asking to be put in righting, so to have access at will or need. Please consider.
Thank you. I do plan on compiling the video transcripts into a book. For now, you can access them through the video description > show transcript option.
@@untangle-your-mind Thank you, I live in the remote north forest of Quebec where the power failure are quite common, so I do enjoy having an interesting book to glance over in those times. Must say I have gone truth many, many gurus and teachers over the years, so there's nothing new under the sun to be honest. Please let us know when your work will be accessible. I do appreciate like many others of your subscribers, I'm quite sure, your tone and the depth you bring to what is already out there and known, to a certain degree of course. You do have this ( Je ne sais quoi ) that makes the transmission all so much pleasant and so easy to grasp. Your love is palpable. So let me send in deep gratitude, the gift of love from my part of the world. 💙🙏
Words are challenging tools for communication. In your teaching you discuss the the way that I alone am. But there are obviously a lot of other people on earth. Presumably, each of these people also, alone, are. We learn here that each one of us everything, and indispensable, and that I am the entire universe. But then, that must presumably also be true for each of the other people living on earth. I could use some help understanding more clearly how each of us is everything, but yet there are so many of us. Or, alternatively, I would appreciate direction to previous videos where you may have further discussed this issue. Thanks so much for your channel.
When it is pointed out that, "You alone are," the 'You' does not refer to the person. The person is a mental construct built over time. Consider how as a child you slowly developed a personality. Around the knowledge that 'I am' were built the accretions of memories, likes and dislikes, patterns of behaviors, relationships and so on. That is the person. Or rather, the persona. From the nondual standpoint, there are no people in the world. The world appears in the Self. As do all worlds. And that Self is simply Sentience / Awareness / Pure Consciousness. That is the You that alone is. What attribute would you use to differentiate awareness from awareness? Sentience from sentience? The multiplicity is only in terms of the experiences. But looking deeper, you only find unity. There's a playlist of videos on the Self that may help further: ua-cam.com/play/PLfi4N5s1HS4MsswqcJr0Xx_rN-5i11Jkd.html
A hugely important video. I will listen to it more than once, as it contains such a quantity of vitally important insight. Amazing. I have not heard anything quite like it before. 🫶🏻🙏
Beautiful. I need to listen to your videos even more, to squeeze every drop of wisdom out of them. 🙏
This is a great analogy and doorway to seeing what we are: Always on, impersonal sentience. Wonderful video. 🙏🏼
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤truth
Listening to you from Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj makes me become peaceful and filled with love! 🐛🦋♥️🙏💎
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The core of "all" teachings.❤❤

That's just right. Bringing Self-inquiry to "Consciousness without an object" is where Nonduality becomes intuitive and obvious. Thanks for sharing 🙏.
Very happy to have found your channel, a real gem. Thanks for the videos 🙏
Thank you 🙏. Glad that you are finding the content useful.
