"Everybody is the truth; nobody owns it. Nobody has more or less of it. I find that when it's talked about clearly and honestly, and with unadorned, unspiritualized, just as it is, that the people who are ready for it in their own way, they sense it. They know it's true, not because I say it, because they sense it in themselves, and it's that knowing that it's true, even if they don't understand it, it's the knowing of it that draws them towards it, and draws them into the deepest letting go, and the deepest surrender into a mystery. And it's just, they just do it; or they don't..."

Incredible 🔥💖 thank you
I was looking for this video yesterday, and then it came into existence today (for the record I'm not saying nor do I believe it was because of me I'm just saying its kinda spookie)
Seems to be arguing that the highest state is the absence of everything.Its not this, it's not that.Well tell me what it IS.I don't want to feel empty....Is that good?Not in my experience.I'm not sure this non duality stuff is in any way compatible with the human condition.Might be ok when your dead or something.✌️
It's what cannot be really told/conceptualized. It can only be perceived absolutely directly, extremely simple, but not necessarily easy... It's completely different from what the conditioned human mind thinks. The word "spirit" may help point to it...It's empty and full at the same time...full of aliveness...It's the source of life...It's that which is animating and living our human bodies...It's what we truly/ultimately are...It's not knowable by the conditioned human mind, but can be known by itself through consciously being it, which itself is great joy/causeless happiness...🙏
@@KungWu Thank you.I'll run with that a while.Still feel the 'nothing behind everything' idea is as conceptual as any other and remains just that for the vast majority trying to imagine it in the absence of direct experience.Plus I'm far from convinced that complete ego dissolution is a healthy experience for MOST humans(including me)in our present light.I do believe in conceousness expansion,just not trying to go to far to quickly with it.Also I believe (though it can not be empirically proved of course)in a transmigrating individual soul that even after death carries various conceptual attachments that prevent complete merger and leads to reincarnation.A reoccurring process until full ego dissolution .But that's not something one should aim for in one lifetime as it is likely to prove highly destabilising to existing social fabrics.You could accuse me of being spiritually unambitious but I think it's a case of not trying to run before one can walk✌️
Thank you for sharing...it feels like the guiding light in you is working for you...it is different for different individuals...Enjoy! 🙏
