Beautiful! Another One of “my” favourites ones now, along with in Love with lady Maya & simplest thing. 🌸💞🙏🙇♀️ With my gratitude and respect to all True One No-one’s, ( non claiming ones), standing in space of true Oneness…. For all, who think they are not compassionate…… When the mind/body Barrier is invisible or rather disappear heart meets universal heart, space is one space, Love is flowing freely without hope, expectations or resistance. How can they lack compassion? Their compassion is not in empty words, but in their eyes…. Speaking The truth directly with Love & compassion. You just need to see it, not from mind. But heart again. 🧡
Thanks 🙏🏼 Teja! That was beautiful. People ask if nothing is happening why I talk about non-duality. And I say, that’s the command (Ajna) and not my choice. There’s nothing the individual can do if the beloved decides that. It’s not like one day I got up in the morning and decided to be all “spiritual” and spread this message. It happens! The energy flows. And I’m not in charge. No one is.
Teja it's a very moving msg to me.Utterly honest!!. I see you as a Gaudapadacharya of today, firmly trouncing any "Me" in every reply of yours and to see this clearly. Just as he propounded the non creation theory. Thank you very much. With Deep Regards,
I had once what seemed like a collapse of the self, I just laughed how ridiculous all it is, how simple, how evident, how vast and how I was nothing, I felt so great for a while, just like I was in a movie watching life happening, I didn't worry about my body or nothing at all, I saw everything was me, how could I lack anything, I was all, few months later I started feeling like life was meaningless, I wasn't t sure about why I was playing game anyways, all the things that made sense or inspired me were gone, I was really lost for a while, I am trying to find myself again since. I was upset at all spiritual teachers, i thought it was all a scam, there is no way one can show you how to be enlightened, we are already only light, but again I was obsessed to know what ahhppend and why was it gone, now I'm feeling sorry for myself for being identified with this human who feels pain and sorrow, who feels very empathic, i observe myself struggling, i know the scene will change soon, but sometimes seems like time passes and scenes are consecutive and the mind builds a story that feels endless.
There are no words to describe a level of a freedom and happiness I'm feelin' after this, what I received in this message. Dear Teja, thanks for reminding of what is... What is very funny is how my attention is changing the perspective It looks to me... even my dream character, illusory "me" is ok with that...and at the same time I know that it is an illusion too... And then happens that beautiful " let it go..."
Beautiful, truthful message!! Prepared to be "hope-less" , just with What Is , with no resistance mostly but sometimes 'wanting ' to change what Is...anyway none here to control 😊 thank you 🌼💞
I really enjoy Teja's talks and videos, but this video reminded me of something I read quite a few a years by Victor Frankl, when I read his landmark, Man's Search for Meaning. Frankl, a psychologist born in Germany, was, as a Jew, sent to the Nazi death camp - Auschwitz. He lived in a place where death and dying were everywhere. He made a very strong point that those who survived the death camp were those who's spirit was strengthend by hope. It was the vigor of their hope, the hope that the war would end, their hope for eventual liberation (literally) that kept them alive and that quality of hope made the decisive difference between the few who survived and the many who died. It was having the capacity to truly hope in world defined as hopeless. I can see that this ability to hope in a hopeless world might apply to challenging real-world circumstances and not to the process of an illusory persona attaining enlightenment. This could be a case of "apples and orange", but I'm not entirely sure of that. I want to add that this video resonates with my own direct experience beautifully. Hope, it seems, applies to this 'relative world". It happens or it doesn't. About 3 and a half years I was diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer. Very powerful feelings of hope and hopelessness happened, all on their own and they greatly colored my direct experience of life. I asked my oncologist (who is beloved by his patients and was made rather famous in a recent French film) if the feeling of hope might contribute to my surviving this difficult disease? His answer was an unequivocal "no"; that surviving was a matter of the success of the treatment and one's genes ... and that was that.
Yes Eric, thank you. 'Hope' may _appeared_ to have caused some increase in the Nazi camp's survival time. But for how long? Even those bodies that survived eventually decayed and died. So you must look further, to go beyond 'apples & oranges.' "Who" died? "Who" had this hope? Is there even really a "who" or "me" in there? Those are the questions this video poses...not so much whether the dream-character can temporarily improve "their" _life- experience_ .
Thank you Teja. I appreciate your approach and what you say does resonate with me and plants a seed as you put it. However, I don’t think it’s the only effective approach. If there would be no spectrum between being awake and asleep then I would say the Teja approach is the only one that’s valid. If your either enlightened or not the Teja method is the only one that can make sense. But I believe there is levels of dreaming and therefore we can acknowledge when we are dreaming and relinquish that dream and thus awaken to new level of reality that has less dreaming in it.
Missed it. There is _no_ approach. There is no one. Dream-characters ("us") cannot, and don't need to, get "somewhere" or relinquish something in an illusion of 'progress' (Remember, there is no "time.") By using the concept of 'approach,' you (the dream-character) are confirming you believe you are an actual "someone" hoping to get "somewhere" you are not already. Hoping to make 'progress' over "time." All of that is still part of the dream. There is no Teja approach or other approaches. There is no one, Only What Is. So no approaches are necessary.
You say the even the notion of not resisting anything would give false hope but what if one were to not resist anything simply because as you say, it is already enlightened behaviour?
This video resonates a lot, thanks Teja! One thing I'd like to ask is your thoughts on what came up for me while I was watching this... while it can be seen as cruel to give a seeker hope for the future, the seeking energy can also latch on to the idea of a potential collapse someday in the future while sitting on a chair. I know you said you can't hope for that, but the seeking energy can seem to attach to the hope of the seed being planted by hearing the message enough despite you saying you can't hope for it (that pesky seeking energy ey).... so in that sense, is there any real difference between seeking through watching this video or seeking through a meditation practice, there seems to be no collated statistics on how many collapses have taken place through seeds planted compared to meditation and supposed teaching, for all we know it's the percentage is the same... So is there really a more cruel or less cruel way to the end of the search? Even though this can't be taught, until it is seen (by no one), it seems all the seeking energy can do/hear is seek, be that watching/hearing an uncompromising video or sitting and observing thoughts/feelings/perceptions. Different apparent paths for different people, different strokes for different folks.
Yes, the only thing the dream character can 'do' is seek, be the watcher, sitting in meditation observing, etc. Energy can also take the form of a 'teacher,' who teaches you to 'meditate,' and that's fine, too. The 'teacher' may also promise dissolution after _enough_ meditation or other practices, and that is very misleading, because dissolution happens to no one. So it's misleading, but so many seem to be falling into this promise-trap, I used the word 'cruel.' There's no difference between watching videos or meditating, because there is no one doing either. There's no comparative 'statistics' for those who have collapsed through meditation vs. watching videos, because collapsing is _never_ cause-&-effect, and has never happened to anyone. Trixkey, you may enjoy joining us for our Sunday 'Conversation,' for more clarity.
@@alreadyenlightenedwtejaana4767 thanks for taking the time to reply! Much appreciated and your response makes sense and is very clear... I think the distinction as you pointed out is when there's a promise of anything with enough practice, that's where the cruelness/trap can be, yet for some people that may still be the path although that percentage of seekers who collapse that way is probably a small percentage as you say. I've joined a conversation you hold before once and I'd definitely like to join them again someday. Hope to see you then :)
hope comes from fear and despair and is limiting...i don't hope for world peace or blessings for children or good climate but i know and have faith that all is well and all will be well so to speak...like W. Dyer said 'nobody knows enough to be a pessimist'...no one knows enough to be, period...i don't got to know to be...no tee hee...OMski
Hehe:-) Well if you do the math, 1000/1% of 250 bil. would come out to 2.5 million. - an overly-generous figure of how many homo sapiens have _ever_ 'experienced total ego-collapse. Even 250,000, or 1/10,000th of a percent, would probably be too high, but there's no way to assess, so the numbers were just to make a point, not to be highly accurate.🙂
Yes, Life Itself, but Life Itself is not a "who." There is no entity, no pronoun. And nothing was 'created.' Mind cannot understand this because it is strictly a subject-object, cause-&-effect machine. So your mind will not be able to grasp how Life Itself is actually Nothing, and all This is only an _appearance_. Nothing has actually ever been created.
@@alreadyenlightenedwtejaana4767 I used to be a seeker but at one point there was the realisation that like you said the mind would never get this .To me that's surrender but not the surrender of a self ,just surrender .
Genuinely please come and see. “You”will be beautifully satisfied, or intellectually get it very very clear. If life prevails “you” may not be you anymore. You will be gone.
Thank you Teja for being so honest and therefore truly compassionate.
Thanks Teja 🙏 Very liberating to hear this, there is no doer, no me, no hope, no control, no path, and no answers.

Great!!! Super reminder. So much clutter we can get caught up in, some of it so subtle we fail to notice the gum sticking to the shoe.

Fully understand. Don't know if you want to discuss this further. If so, email me directly for a private video-chat: teja@tejaanand.com

You'll know when it dawn's, when there's no resistance in your being to do any thought or action.

Resisting resistance. What fun!
1000th of 1% of 250 billion? how did you come up with that number i'm curious
