Awesome talk... reminds me of when I was walking outside of town and suddenly I froze as it hit me - the most mundane, basic realization: "me", the person.. does not need to do a single thing to uphold reality. Everything just is. But somehow I have always had like a fear or tension that I somehow thought was important to maintain "my reality". Boy when that hit me, it hit hard. I froze and tears started welling in my eyes. My limited, humans eyes, operating within the infinite presence of reality.
Hello dear kung Wu, thank you a lot for your clips of adyas retreats. Its been beautiful to see them. I also know you from the group from facebook. I been a teacher here in brazil for more than 7 years and have 4 books on portuguese. I am starting to share the teachers on english now. I uploaded 2 videos and will start to have an online group soon and hopefully someday do retreats on north america as well. Adya has been my main teacher since the begining so i share a lot of similiarities to his expression. Perhaps we can talk someday. Blessings for you and thanks for the work!
I think I understand all of this but what I don’t get is that if the punchline is “Tony can’t grasp it, Tony can’t hold on to it, etc.” then what exactly is the purpose of something like this? What is the purpose of being a spiritual teacher or spiritual practitioner or doing any of it? Isn’t even the most barebones meditation practice just total bullshit then? If I can’t realize it, or stay in it, then how do I get there? And if there is no there to get to, or no me to go anywhere or stay anywhere, how do I realize that? How does the self illusion give way to the light of consciousness? Is it just aimless luck? Am I condemned to live in illusion and suffering until luck intercedes?
Thank you for being here. 🙏 Did you notice @5:40 Adya said "now while Tony's doing that, you and I are going to have another little discussion"? What he's pointing out is that we are not thought(s) or what we think we are. Now he's talking directly to what Tony truly is-awareness or consciousness... Maybe check out the other related excerpt (with the same participant) entitled "powerful pointers led to powerful experience...relief and wisdom of not knowing...": ua-cam.com/video/gWojSxl4V54/v-deo.html&ab_channel=KungWu or another one related to "role of Grace...everything is interconnected and inter-influencing everything": ua-cam.com/video/o47m9JUY16Q/v-deo.html&ab_channel=KungWu With best wishes, ❤🙏
I guess the purpose of all spiritual practice is to realise that "you" is an illusion. But until that's realised, there's going to be a "you" practicing and that's ok.

This was wonderful to listen to, so simply yet eloquently put. Nice to be reminded that we are not our ever seeking minds!
Haha, fantastic conversation ! Thanks for sharing 🙏
This is so good, I actually remembered it for weeks and sought it out again. Thank you!
Love Love Loved this… and a fun laugh as well 😂 Very much needed right now!!!!
