I love Richard's and Rosemarijn's expression the most. They go straight to the point without extra fluff. It's like having a friend on this journey with no destination.
Hello "Richard", What a lovely meeting this was. I also found those present to be very involved, open and accepting. What amazes me is that you managed to find a perfect connection with this. Almost human actually..ha..ha. I almost got the feeling that you recently went through a second "additional" realization. And...pardon my language and grammar. I know there is no I...etc..etc. Would like to have been there. Thanks...Erwin.
How do you see others…in a daily bases.family, people in the street ecc.? Do you see bodies? Do you hear what they say I assume, how are feeling and emotions ?
Relaxation came here, about two years ago, if was really freedom from “wanting to happen…( whatever)” to let it happened no need to stress about anything ‘cause there is no free will, yet here it is what it seems to be ME wanting to feel the non separation , net seen any one but a story…. Me is still here …..There is hope here that IT will be noticed…😅
I have imagine that it would be like thinking in a microcosmos, where we may be like armed cell inside the blood of a super giant where this cells “think” they decide what to do or where to give whereas in reality there are not deductions but what is happening to which the apparent me attaches a meaning…😅
So unconditional LOVE is as saying energy …is saying noness… as not even one , so we call it UNCONDITIONALlove out of the human conditioning meaning of love…unconditional, but if there is …no thing, there is no separation there is no-one No-Thing there is ….actually nothing that we can call love ( as we ihuman ntend it } so for me (😅) the WORD ENERGY SOUNDS MORE NEUTRAL. What do you think….?Thankyou
I wonder if "unconditional love" in this context could be changed to some other terms. The word love is problematic. Maybe "unconditional acceptance"? Love is used to explain the base medium behind everything in religious and buddhist teachings also. I have never understood this, I think because of the tie to personal love of another which can be unconditional but does not feel the same as the acceptance of the moment which is all that exists. "Love" is too transitory to capture this feeling of presence which seems more a feeling of nothingness, stillness, quiet, contentment. Love is too grasping. Anyway, words don't do justice.
I love these videos but whenever you get to "what you hate the most" and say the "dogshit" story I get frustrated. That is not what gets me - I would answer something like "war which includes the shooting of a child in the head" - like what is happening every day in Gaza. How can unconditional love accept such horror? I don't expect an answer because I can tell that no answer would satisfy me.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. No answer would satisfy any mind (except perhaps a mind which has bought into one of the "comforting" religious or spiritual stories). I have often said that in an argument between non-duality and the mind, the mind will always win. But this communication is addressed to something mysterious beyond the mind and can only be heard by that - whatever "that" is.

Moments feel big and spacious to me. All a matter of interpretation
"ALREADY
...happening/arising." 😂😂😂😂❤
Semantics!!!!

1:16:04 Richard just took a page out of Donald Hoffman's thesis: The Case Against Reality.
Oh, Parmenides... almost.
I had to google this one. Thank you.🙂

Oh I look forward to the dog shit story, I've been away for a few apparent years but feeling a pull recently back to Richards teachings.
I passed from vegetarian to carnivorous hehhe😂
