I've experienced the emptiness for many years. I just never thought of the word empty. It was more a sense of the I dissolving. And then not really being there. The personality was still here, but there was not a sense of I with it, just absence of I-ness. So it is interesting to hear it described as emptiness. It's a sense of no one here. Life goes on, but it is not the same. The doing happens. The doing doesn't have a deep root. Things just need to be done to survive, but there is no great urgency. When the personality is seen through, it remains, but it seems to have no roots. Much of the drama that used to be, just doesn't happen. It's a strange place to be, because there is no place. Nice description Suzanne.
yes it is a maze, its a beautiful maze. a maze that doesn't end. It's very fascinating when you notice the M.E.'s working, creating, destroying and maintaining all around you, the signs and complexities.. very fascinating. Don't try to describe it, It'll make total sense within you, however to put it in words, it may not come out as you want it to.
"You can have an experience of emptiness, but it can be an emptiness of emptiness, a phrase that's used is cool emptiness. But when it's the true emptiness, your being is dancing, it even goes right through your physical body. Everything is alive again. You are dancing, the emptiness is dancing. Then we go deeper into that love and the dance and the joy, but it settles into something that is quite and very pervasive. There is a love and stillness that is just deepening. When your heard begins to open, just like the mind your being starts to dance. Then everything comes alive." - Adyshanti Im struggling a little bit when you say it's all just neutral emptiness, it sounds cold in some way. Loneliness, emptiness, neutrality, loosing the good and the bad. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, and I apologize if I am, but isn't this emptiness also fully inclusive of the relative, aren't we to fully embody our awakening into our humanity? Aren't things like excitement and emotional love, and emotional joy empty, but also totally full and real? Isn't emptiness form and form emptiness. Sometimes from these videos it can seem like form is just Emptiness, and no one is here and it's very neutral and cold. Coming from the absolute almost negating the relative. Maybe I am misunderstanding, and for that I apologize, just what's in my mind 😊😊 ua-cam.com/video/RpeJFOIpla8/v-deo.html
I understand what you’re saying. What I experience (and love) in these talks is that she simply describes what she is experiencing at any given moment, like a very clear and honest mirror of what is unfolding for her. I know what you mean about the “empty emptiness” that some can get stuck in or fixated on. But I don’t find that with her. She never loses her compassion for the challenges of the relative, even as “she” is consumed by the infinite. What I find so valuable is that she continues to reflect what happens in the various “stages,” even as she is “moving “ through them. And what I hear is that, as you suggest, her “emptiness” is getting “fuller” all the time… 🔥🫥⭕️💜
Where does experience and phenomena come from? Where does the aliveness come from? That's what she refers as "emptiness". Emptiness is just a word, and it's the word she uses because the process going on is a process of liberation, of dissolution. It's a "going back" to what was underlying all those illusions. So there's literally an "emptying process" of the forms of the mind, while there's also a very clear awareness of how such aliveness can't be stopped and nobody is producing it. That's the "emptiness", the fact that there's absolutely nothing doing this, that this is unavoidably, that life doesn't need to be produced or created by anything else, that there's absolutely nobody behind this aliveness.
Yes went thru a very intense experience the past few months. Seemed like events that occured earlier in life happened just yesterday. I sat many times by a tree seeing both presence and living the fear.. it was both. Tears happened. Last week it all shifted further.. the trees kinda spoke to me and said... Center. Just be centering. That is all that is needed.
Yes ! It’s like when one is crying intensely and you just can’t cry anymore , you then just become quite and the peace just settles in and there is no more wants , needs , or even feel any emotions , you just become nothing , and you become still relaxed and just accept what is with no interference of anything in that moment Yes I know this as well !
Best sharing ever.. there is no glass half full or half empty, it is all empty and full and transparent, apparently… and no glass. Feels so free and wonderful to listen to these words… thank you 🙏
love your talks. so much simplicity in it. you don't make it complicate although I don't get it but resonate with something deep inside. at times I like to take you out of my screen and hug you.❤
Thank you, for placing descriptor words around the experiencing, especially to the releasing of stored energy, that was acknowledged for the meaningful emptiness that freed up, or made space for, emptiness that is all there is, but emptiness that is charged with something meaningful, peace, quietness, knowingness but without words or intellectual reasoning..a heart knowing…quite fascinating and validating the restless mind that tries to make sense of it…thank you for making meaning of this experiencing

Love how you said empty fullness. I keep realizing most truths are paradoxical. I recently emerged from a nasty fight with my biz partner. Your video made me realize, I was fighting for what I think is mine when there is no 'mine.' All that is doing is making the fight, struggle and suffering seemingly more real. I'm reminded again that I can never possess anything that I already am.
I'd like to add that the concept of pursuing becomes a misnomer when one realizes that there's nothing to pursue. All is already you. And there is not even a 'you' in the grand scheme of things. 🙂
Welcome back… 😎 Yes, perhaps impossible to explain, yet somehow these talks stir a recognition, a leaning in, because something familiar is being heard. Love the description of conditioning/energy/patterns/whatever leaving the body. Little apparent concern here about what might still be lost. With everything that’s been “lost” to this moment, there is literally nothing that I miss. So I can’t imagine why that would start now. 🤨😁 Curious what still holds on, whether there is still some unrecognized mother lode of fear, or if it could be as simple as ancient habits and patterns just moving and resisting as they will? Lovely talk, even if you don’t know why it’s happening. 😜😁💜
☯ ♾ ☯ When the soul is starved for nourishment, it lets us know with feelings of emptiness, anxiety, or yearning. There is no need to accept the standards of the world at large.

For we are not fire, not water, not air, not rocks, not thoughts, not deeds, not fear, not love. We are G-dly beings. Our mission on earth is to recognize the void - inside and outside of us - and fill it." Menachem Mendel Schneerson “Traditional theories of human creativity ascribe it to inspiration from a higher source working through the creative individual, who acts as a channel. The same conception underlies the notion of genius; originally the genius was not the person himself but his presiding god or spirit. Why are rituals so conservative? And why do people all over the world believe that through ritual activities they are participating in a process that takes them out of ordinary secular time and somehow brings the past into the present? The idea of morphic resonance provides a natural answer to these questions. Through morphic resonance, ritual really can bring the past into the present. The present performers of the ritual indeed connect with those in the past. The greater the similarity between the way the ritual is performed now and the way it was performed before, the stronger the resonant connection between the past and present participants. Contemporary science is based on the philosophy of materialism, which claims that all reality is material or physical. Matter is merely mind deadened by the development of habit to the point where the breaking up of these habits is very difficult. Cosmologists have come to the conclusion that known kinds of matter and energy constitute only about 4% of the universe. The rest consists of dark matter and dark energy. The nature of 96% of physical reality is literally obscure. Basically, morphic fields are fields of habit, and they've been set up through habits of thought, through habits of activity, and through habits of speech. Most of our culture is habitual. The morphic fields include all kinds of organizing fields...: The organizing fields of animal and human behavior, of social and cultural systems, and of mental activity can all be regarded as morphic fields which contain an inherent memory. The assumption that the laws of nature are eternal is a vestige of the Christian belief system that informed the early postulates of modern science in the seventeenth century. Perhaps the laws of nature have actually evolved along with nature itself, and perhaps they are still evolving. Or perhaps they are not laws at all, but more like habits. The beginning of wisdom, I believe, is our ability to accept an inherent messiness in our explanation of what's going on. Nowhere is it written that human minds should be able to give a full accounting of creation in all dimensions and on all levels. Ludwig Wittgenstein had the idea that philosophy should be what he called "true enough." I think that's a great idea. True enough is as true as can be gotten. The imagination is chaos. New forms are fetched out of it. The creative act is to let down the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended and then to attempt to bring out of it ideas. As Terence McKenna observed, “Modern science is based on the principle: ‘Give us one free miracle and we’ll explain the rest.’ The one free miracle is the appearance of all the mass and energy in the universe and all the laws that govern it in a single instant from nothing. Our human dependence on the living processes of the earth was largely forgotten with the growth of industrial civilization. Now we are being forced to remember that Gaia is greater than we are and that the human economy is embedded within the ecology of the biosphere. So, in what sense is Gaia alive? And what difference does it make if we think of her as a living organism, as opposed to an inanimate physical system? We must become aware of the astonishing fact that as a species we are the victims of an instance of traumatic abuse in childhood. As human beings, we once had a symbiotic relationship with the world-girdling intelligence of the planet that was mediated through shamanic plant use. This relationship was disrupted and eventually lost by the progressive climatic drying of the Eurasian and African land masses. If memory within nature sounds mysterious, we should bear in mind that mathematical laws transcending nature are more rather than less so; they are metaphysical rather than physical. The way mathematical laws can exist independently of the evolving universe and at the same time act upon it remains a profound mystery. For those who accept God, this mystery is an aspect of God's relation to the realm of nature; for those who deny God, the mystery is even more obscure: A quasi-mental realm of mathematical laws somehow exists independently of nature, yet not in God, and governs the evolving physical world without itself being physical. We need to respond to our present ecological crisis practically, by making appropriate social, political, economic, and technological changes. We need to look at the attitudes that have led to such devastation of the earth and to find a more harmonious way of living. And those of us who believe in the power of prayer need to pray for forgiveness and guidance. If a wiser and juster human order comes about, if a new harmony develops between humanity and the living world, this would indeed seem like an answer to prayer. What you do, what you say and what you think can influence other people by morphic resonance. There is no immoral filter in morphic resonance, which means that we have to be more careful about what we are thinking if we are concerned about the affect we have on others."

I believe what you're describing is happening to me as well. It feels like what people describe as the internal river of life, or flow, or chakra. There have been multiple places internally where the river was blocked by trauma, fear, resistance, unknowing, and every time, in every situation, life was trying to flow through the main points of the internal river, it would be blocked, and the feelings that would come out, you would label as sadness, worry, anxiety, etc. They felt wrong. They felt painful. Now, it seems as though, through our paths of self-inquiry, for some reason, some of these internal points of the river of life that were blocked for so long are becoming unblocked, and whatever feeling comes when the river successfully allows life to flow in, which previously would get blocked, is what you're feeling but can't describe. It's not a bad feeling, it's a feeling you can accept. It's like a liquid passing through in the form of energy or something in your center. The only thing you can describe it as is the feeling of it just going through you and being, spaciously, inside the body, without a struggle and then dissipating. So what you feel was lifted from you were those blockage points, and once they were lifted, you could feel lighter and more spacious (empty-full) because life is flowing through you better. So now you're aware of there being a block of sorts. It's as though, with the river being fully opened, there should be no more effort and struggle, and you can live in perfect unity with the body, mind, soul, and everything.
@ 14:30 A sleep-dream, after awakening, can be seen as "one", even though while dreaming it looks just like waking life...the ten thousand things in action doing whatever it does. Because you see that it all happened inside the head, so it couldn't have been "real". But waking life is pretty much the same thing, the ten thousand things doing whatever it does...and I am not separate from that happening, it's happening inside itself, so "I" am part of the dream of everything. The dreamer is unknow...Life itself, whatever that is.
While listening to Ramesh Balsekar and some current physics trends on super determinism, an interesting stream of thoughts started happening. What if everything is pre-scripted? What if every thought, feeling, sensation, perception, decision, action, event is pre-scripted? If true, this becomes nothing but a universal cinema produced by a mystery. And this movie is useless without impersonal knowing. It gets even more interesting with contracted knowing. Of course, this is nothing but another rant.
Suffering leads to awakening… When you cannot stand being yourself any longer… Only then you can exit the maze. What are you still holding on to? Are you scared of being alone, undesirable, unloved? Does that fear stop you letting go? When you’d rather die than continue being Suzanne… You will step out of her… to just witness her, and everything, without any control.
Dont believe that thought! Brushstoke, that's a dark story to believe in. Even though it can feel so strong and real at the time. It's just your mind Dis-identify from it. Let it go. Much love ❤
I have watched some of your videos, and it seems to me like to you non duality means inaction. What i take from non duality is to realize that we are just actors in a play, and from that understanding i realize that i simply have no other option than to play my part, while being aware that im just playing a role rather than stepping out of the role and refusing to continue playing, which is the vibe im getting from your videos. And i might just be reading you wrong, and then again maybe refusing to continue playing is just another role...
I like your idea of play ; I would say : " Suzanne , You went through all of it , now it's time to play again in a childlike way , being the child again , the child that understands it all but leaves it all to play , that's maybe the case already "
A maze with no exit, so there was no entrance then? How did we get in the maze? We're we dropped in by a God? Nah, logic would dictate that the maze was constructed around ourself, to feel like we know where our location is. We built the damn maze to distract ourselves to avoid the truth that there's nothing actually going on lol.
In which part of your body did you feel the energy? When I look from the inside, I feel it in my throat, but when I look from the outside while meditating, I realize that it is actually somewhere in my chest.
This is interesting. I always find it in my throat and jaw. I search for it in my chest but cannot find it. Do you have any tips on how to find it in your chest?
@@janewanes traditional meditation techniques can work. I wasn't particularly bothered to find out where it was. I was just watching my thoughts, and as I put some distance between myself and thoughts, I felt the source was in my chest/body.
Things are actually happening though, that's what we call it... what do you mean nothing is here... do you mean nothing inside the body, as in no person... or do you mean nothing as in no trees. Camera cemetery body sky universe
Why don’t you go to a Zen or Advaita teacher to help you? You’ve gotten to a certain point on your own - and that’s great - but you seem a little melancholic. Maybe this is happening a little too fast. That’s the problem of Neo-Advaita. I have more than a decade of meditation experience. If I went straight from my awareness w/out meditation to where I am now, in a blip, I’d probably have a brain aneurism… lol.
Did you take strong psychedelics without a shaman? Because then you could have damaged your crown chakra and your soul could have left, which is why you feel numb. There is something called soul retrieval.
I'm currently trying to awaken, but I'll be honest, the way you describe the later stages of the process do not seem all that appealing. It feels like you've depersonalized to an unhealthy point. I mean, do you think that this process is worth undertaking if the end result is total neutrality in everything? Are you too empty?
@@patriciaadducci6549 I don’t know to be honest. I’m still trying to understand/practice the non-dual way. So far, my self-inquiry hasn’t led me away from the idea that there is a me separate from a not-me. From what I understand, the experience of non-duality isn’t describable per se, so I don’t know what it means to be more open to the basic energy of life. For now I am continuing my practice hoping to understand more.
@@Garroxta My concept of 'understanding' has shifted so that it's more like touching than grasping. I am also continuing my practice hoping to understand more. I think that involves changes in my nervous system toward wholeness. The biggest change has been a dissolving of defensiveness. That feels good! And helps with being honest.
Why does any of this happen? Why does an author write a story? To tell a story for mild amusement. The dreamstate is just infinite stories written by Fate.
You assume that all those are listening to you understand the meaning of as you say no-thing is real or there is no self or there is no reality or nothing exist It is obvious to my self that every word that you speak is the By-product of a real living human being that experienced some real deep trauma That you are seeking to over come by sharing with others, as you seek others that feel the way you do You are not free! That is also obvious to myself
Now, to trust that everything will be provided, I wonder if some homeless people are the noticing .... such as my 20 years old son that rages at his step mother with no place to live spend all his money on a motel living, now is just on the streets with zero f to give he does not do drugs or care to work and is also told that has no mental illness... sounding like he just trust that everything will be provide some how, and yet he won't talk to me . Making me a person that has been ( awaking) but prefer to life in the illusion because I also have a toddler and a partner ( my partner refuses to listen about anything awaking stuff ). And I am not going to live my life empty because my toddler needs interaction, and my husband needs validation that my mind isn't a goner.... but let me tell you being the nothingness has helped me go through this all, my husband almost lost his life last year ( he got a pacemaker now, he is still to have another heart surgery ) my first-born refusing to talk to me, ( it has been almost 2 years since I heard from him ) . 7 months before getting pregnant with my 2 and haft years old, we even lost another baby ( we lost 2 in 2014 before I was awaken ) .... the whole time I was pregnant with Mack, trusting that God or whatever is making the happening wants all this to happen has gotten me through it all and I keep trusting , and I pray because the feeling of talking to the happening makes me happy, what is to be a human if not having feelings ? And watch them for that matter ! Conclusion being awaken or the notice as you like to share is beautiful and I choose to feel , someday my husband won't be here my toddler will be grown and then I can experience what you are ! Thank you for your sharing it's inspiring!!!

The cost is high, yup. To quote Jed Mckenna, "The price of truth is everything, but nobody knows what everything means until they're paying it."
I don’t need to communicate with you to know that what you are saying is just so brilliant
Thank you so much
Lovely 💕
Words certainly fall short of the description of that feeling. Like it's everything and nothing all at the same time.😊
I could listen to you all day long.
thanks a lot ❤️🙏
Absolute brilliance
Thank you for being here for us

There appears to be a process in process experiencing experiences, a wind filled with images rustling the dreaming leaves.

May not come as I want it to as in the person is fantasizing about what won’t come to be? 🙃

When the soul is starved for nourishment, it lets us know with feelings of emptiness, anxiety, or yearning. There is no need to accept the standards of the world at large.

As Terence McKenna observed, “Modern science is based on the principle: ‘Give us one free miracle and we’ll explain the rest.’ The one free miracle is the appearance of all the mass and energy in the universe and all the laws that govern it in a single instant from nothing.
Our human dependence on the living processes of the earth was largely forgotten with the growth of industrial civilization. Now we are being forced to remember that Gaia is greater than we are and that the human economy is embedded within the ecology of the biosphere. So, in what sense is Gaia alive? And what difference does it make if we think of her as a living organism, as opposed to an inanimate physical system?
We must become aware of the astonishing fact that as a species we are the victims of an instance of traumatic abuse in childhood. As human beings, we once had a symbiotic relationship with the world-girdling intelligence of the planet that was mediated through shamanic plant use. This relationship was disrupted and eventually lost by the progressive climatic drying of the Eurasian and African land masses.
If memory within nature sounds mysterious, we should bear in mind that mathematical laws transcending nature are more rather than less so; they are metaphysical rather than physical. The way mathematical laws can exist independently of the evolving universe and at the same time act upon it remains a profound mystery.
For those who accept God, this mystery is an aspect of God's relation to the realm of nature; for those who deny God, the mystery is even more obscure: A quasi-mental realm of mathematical laws somehow exists independently of nature, yet not in God, and governs the evolving physical world without itself being physical.
We need to respond to our present ecological crisis practically, by making appropriate social, political, economic, and technological changes. We need to look at the attitudes that have led to such devastation of the earth and to find a more harmonious way of living.
And those of us who believe in the power of prayer need to pray for forgiveness and guidance. If a wiser and juster human order comes about, if a new harmony develops between humanity and the living world, this would indeed seem like an answer to prayer.
What you do, what you say and what you think can influence other people by morphic resonance. There is no immoral filter in morphic resonance, which means that we have to be more careful about what we are thinking if we are concerned about the affect we have on others."

@@mat.se57 "Our virtues are made by love, and our sins are caused by the lack of it. There is no difference in the destination, the only difference is in the journey. Everyone has his own imagination of God. It is best if everyone is left to his own imagination." ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
I believe what you're describing is happening to me as well. It feels like what people describe as the internal river of life, or flow, or chakra. There have been multiple places internally where the river was blocked by trauma, fear, resistance, unknowing, and every time, in every situation, life was trying to flow through the main points of the internal river, it would be blocked, and the feelings that would come out, you would label as sadness, worry, anxiety, etc. They felt wrong. They felt painful.
Now, it seems as though, through our paths of self-inquiry, for some reason, some of these internal points of the river of life that were blocked for so long are becoming unblocked, and whatever feeling comes when the river successfully allows life to flow in, which previously would get blocked, is what you're feeling but can't describe. It's not a bad feeling, it's a feeling you can accept. It's like a liquid passing through in the form of energy or something in your center. The only thing you can describe it as is the feeling of it just going through you and being, spaciously, inside the body, without a struggle and then dissipating. So what you feel was lifted from you were those blockage points, and once they were lifted, you could feel lighter and more spacious (empty-full) because life is flowing through you better. So now you're aware of there being a block of sorts. It's as though, with the river being fully opened, there should be no more effort and struggle, and you can live in perfect unity with the body, mind, soul, and everything.
Nice beanie!
@ 14:30 A sleep-dream, after awakening, can be seen as "one", even though while dreaming it looks just like waking life...the ten thousand things in action doing whatever it does. Because you see that it all happened inside the head, so it couldn't have been "real". But waking life is pretty much the same thing, the ten thousand things doing whatever it does...and I am not separate from that happening, it's happening inside itself, so "I" am part of the dream of everything. The dreamer is unknow...Life itself, whatever that is.
While listening to Ramesh Balsekar and some current physics trends on super determinism, an interesting stream of thoughts started happening. What if everything is pre-scripted? What if every thought, feeling, sensation, perception, decision, action, event is pre-scripted? If true, this becomes nothing but a universal cinema produced by a mystery. And this movie is useless without impersonal knowing. It gets even more interesting with contracted knowing. Of course, this is nothing but another rant.
mm 17:20 "nothing is here." Isn't that a story too that "nothing" is here?
Please do a guided meditation. Thank you for your well articulated videos
It's just this aliveness.
If you don't like the word awareness, you could use the word I (No me, I know lol) use, which is realization or realizing,
Thank you for debunking the oneness thing..
Suffering leads to awakening… When you cannot stand being yourself any longer… Only then you can exit the maze.
What are you still holding on to? Are you scared of being alone, undesirable, unloved? Does that fear stop you letting go?
When you’d rather die than continue being Suzanne… You will step out of her… to just witness her, and everything, without any control.
The impersonal reality is whatever the opposite of a maze it
💗
it is written *Susan* on the grave behind you, lol. Very simbolic.
1:12- the only "experience" ever "known" is the ego. illusion.
❤
I'm so tired of living. I don't see any point in it continuing, yet I persist, apparently. 😒
Dont believe that thought! Brushstoke, that's a dark story to believe in. Even though it can feel so strong and real at the time. It's just your mind Dis-identify from it. Let it go. Much love ❤
❤❤❤
I have watched some of your videos, and it seems to me like to you non duality means inaction. What i take from non duality is to realize that we are just actors in a play, and from that understanding i realize that i simply have no other option than to play my part, while being aware that im just playing a role rather than stepping out of the role and refusing to continue playing, which is the vibe im getting from your videos. And i might just be reading you wrong, and then again maybe refusing to continue playing is just another role...
@Lone Druid i dont see it as a fault, its just an observation, anyway she seems sincere to me.
I like your idea of play ; I would say : " Suzanne , You went through all of it , now it's time to play again in a childlike way , being the child again , the child that understands it all but leaves it all to play , that's maybe the case already "
Did you choose that tombstone on your left on purpose or was that synchronicity at play? 😀
I don't know if you'll respond but I wanted to ask do you think that listening to music can slow you down from becoming empty?
Suzanne, what do you think about ' freedom from me incorporates freedom with me(separation)' ? Thank you always!
A maze with no exit, so there was no entrance then? How did we get in the maze? We're we dropped in by a God? Nah, logic would dictate that the maze was constructed around ourself, to feel like we know where our location is. We built the damn maze to distract ourselves to avoid the truth that there's nothing actually going on lol.
Do you believe in the Spirit Suzanne?
In which part of your body did you feel the energy? When I look from the inside, I feel it in my throat, but when I look from the outside while meditating, I realize that it is actually somewhere in my chest.
This is interesting. I always find it in my throat and jaw. I search for it in my chest but cannot find it. Do you have any tips on how to find it in your chest?
@@janewanes traditional meditation techniques can work. I wasn't particularly bothered to find out where it was. I was just watching my thoughts, and as I put some distance between myself and thoughts, I felt the source was in my chest/body.
@@unbrokenspine thank you ❤️ I think maybe I have lack of concentration 😂
Things are actually happening though, that's what we call it... what do you mean nothing is here... do you mean nothing inside the body, as in no person... or do you mean nothing as in no trees. Camera cemetery body sky universe
I can help out
5:51
Why don’t you go to a Zen or Advaita teacher to help you? You’ve gotten to a certain point on your own - and that’s great - but you seem a little melancholic. Maybe this is happening a little too fast. That’s the problem of Neo-Advaita. I have more than a decade of meditation experience. If I went straight from my awareness w/out meditation to where I am now, in a blip, I’d probably have a brain aneurism… lol.
mm 10:30 (what does "release" mean?)

John 3:5
enter into the kingdom of God.
Did you take strong psychedelics without a shaman? Because then you could have damaged your crown chakra and your soul could have left, which is why you feel numb. There is something called soul retrieval.
why the graveyard?
ur cute
duality and non duality are mixed up ; it's one seamless one .
I'm currently trying to awaken, but I'll be honest, the way you describe the later stages of the process do not seem all that appealing. It feels like you've depersonalized to an unhealthy point. I mean, do you think that this process is worth undertaking if the end result is total neutrality in everything? Are you too empty?
What if you replace the word 'empty' with 'open'? And what if you know, deep down, that the energy of life is joy?
@@patriciaadducci6549 Then I suppose that’s different.
@@Garroxta What would it be like for you to be more open to the basic energy of life? Would there be more neutrality?
@@patriciaadducci6549 I don’t know to be honest. I’m still trying to understand/practice the non-dual way. So far, my self-inquiry hasn’t led me away from the idea that there is a me separate from a not-me.
From what I understand, the experience of non-duality isn’t describable per se, so I don’t know what it means to be more open to the basic energy of life. For now I am continuing my practice hoping to understand more.
@@Garroxta My concept of 'understanding' has shifted so that it's more like touching than grasping. I am also continuing my practice hoping to understand more. I think that involves changes in my nervous system toward wholeness. The biggest change has been a dissolving of defensiveness. That feels good! And helps with being honest.
Why does any of this happen? Why does an author write a story? To tell a story for mild amusement. The dreamstate is just infinite stories written by Fate.
You assume that all those are listening to you understand the meaning of as you say no-thing is real or there is no self or there is no reality or nothing exist
It is obvious to my self that every word that you speak is the By-product of a real living human being that experienced some real deep trauma
That you are seeking to over come by sharing with others, as you seek others that feel the way you do
You are not free! That is also obvious to myself
umm love Suzanne's Taco Bell 🍑💨🎶👃🏽💕umm
Her farts?
@Lone Druid in non duality industry there is no angel and demon.
@@datboiklaus8002 umm most precious gas of this planet ❤️
Now, to trust that everything will be provided, I wonder if some homeless people are the noticing .... such as my 20 years old son that rages at his step mother with no place to live spend all his money on a motel living, now is just on the streets with zero f to give he does not do drugs or care to work and is also told that has no mental illness... sounding like he just trust that everything will be provide some how, and yet he won't talk to me . Making me a person that has been ( awaking) but prefer to life in the illusion because I also have a toddler and a partner ( my partner refuses to listen about anything awaking stuff ). And I am not going to live my life empty because my toddler needs interaction, and my husband needs validation that my mind isn't a goner.... but let me tell you being the nothingness has helped me go through this all, my husband almost lost his life last year ( he got a pacemaker now, he is still to have another heart surgery ) my first-born refusing to talk to me, ( it has been almost 2 years since I heard from him ) . 7 months before getting pregnant with my 2 and haft years old, we even lost another baby ( we lost 2 in 2014 before I was awaken ) .... the whole time I was pregnant with Mack, trusting that God or whatever is making the happening wants all this to happen has gotten me through it all and I keep trusting , and I pray because the feeling of talking to the happening makes me happy, what is to be a human if not having feelings ? And watch them for that matter ! Conclusion being awaken or the notice as you like to share is beautiful and I choose to feel , someday my husband won't be here my toddler will be grown and then I can experience what you are ! Thank you for your sharing it's inspiring!!!
