Hey Fred, it’s Jack. All the best from the UK. Our awakening session was great. I was just watching the video of awakeness waking up through the Wesley unit. It’s such a great video. This really is the bottom of the trap doors. It’s such a relief. How on earth could the mind think it could understand? There is such joy being experienced by awakeness through the Jack unit in no small part thanks to you man. I’m so glad I listened to that part of the mind that was saying ‘Fred might be on to something here’. Namaste to you man - thank you so much.
Hey, Jack! It's great to hear from you. You are so welcome! And thanks for the Public Service Announcement contained within your comment. The people who doubt the effectiveness of Awakening Sessions are the people who have not experienced one. :-)
You’re welcome man. I’m just so glad I bit the bullet and actually signed up for a session. It was so refreshing when you said to Wes that you wouldn’t have believed it either and that someone would have to be crazy before coming for a session. I was definitely crazy! It’s like you said though, it’s similar to AA in that you have to be willing to say OK, maybe I need to listen to someone other than myself 😁
Thank you, Margaret. I expect my video production to continue for a long time, and my private teaching as well. I'm just bowing to the body's aging, and its response to the energy transfers that occur in Awakening Sessions.
Thank you, Fred. The illusion of character waxes and wanes, creating a sense of the "spiritual experience" coming and going. But when we identify as Awakeness rather than as the character, this illusory waffling of the character does not affect our abiding experience of clarity.
I refer to what you've described as either "toggling" or "yo-yoing." It feels like interruptions--when the old story of the false self attempts to dominate. Another great presentation, Fred. Thank you.
Another brilliant telling of the great cosmic joke! 🤪❤ also, " the Truth of God woke up to the fiction of Fred Davis" several gems in this one! " the one demanding the answer is what's not true!" Only Love ❤
Just downloaded and read "Awaken Now" per Kindle. This is the most potent book I've ever read. So simple yet surreal. Need to let this percolate over night.
If this awareness that believes it is the illusion called me were once again back in the 60s, it would say: "Oh man - you just blew my mind!" Thank you Fred :)
Hi Fred what do you think of Roger Castillo’s teaching of predestination and non-doership ? It sounds very close to your teachings that there’s no individual there etc. predestination feels very disempowering to me but I find it intriguing . What’s your take on this?
I love Roger's presentation. Since I imagine Fred doesn't spend much time with other contemporary teacher's, I'm probably in a better position to answer this! (I've listened to about 20 talks of his) I don't think he uses presdestination any differently than Fred uses Oneness and that there is no free will. The experience of being separate can get to a place of admitting/accepting that this moment and any happening "has ALREADY been been approved of by Me" (Fred quote). That's the "pre" of predestination, but that can't be projected back onto Oneness as though It Is anything but Free. When the character experience is graced by freedom from preoccupations of duality, it can accept happiness (happening-now-ness), peace, doing the next thing indicated by senses of love/joy/pleasure. And the PLAY of feeling like "I am choosing" (if/when it comes up) is MORE empowered, when not imprisoned by deliberating any more over the character's abitly to figure things out (or other needs it had to "manage itself"). (de-liberate-ing: what was thought to be reasonable or empowering, eventually can be seen as the imprisoning back and forth, that was really used to conjure the character). And so predestination for some, who resonate with that language, can be quite freeing by removing the imprisonment of believing that empowerment/happiness can be found in a "later" possibility (so dis-illusionment is a step, that goes with the releasing of denial). Here's a video clip I saved of a Roger talk, and at 22:29 he references life-as-destined (and the ahhh, that this CAN mean in words/relativity, as the awakening to and then relief from the virtual reality of seeking-for-outcomes as happiness) - ua-cam.com/video/ScFDs3S60Uc/v-deo.html
I mean everything he’s saying you can’t just make up... you can’t be a false teacher with this wisdom. You have to actually have the experience to say the things he is saying.. amazing.
Hey Fredness! Has it ever struck you that this whole Nonduality thing would have made for a great episode of the classic Twilight Zone series? I "Picture,, if you will... ". 😂
I offer no opinions on other living teachers. Of the so-called dead ones, Nisargadatta Maharaj is unmatched. The same could be said for Ramana Mahashi.
In one of your videos you said it's all just weather. Hearing that made me think of the song, Weather with you by crowded house. Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street Well it's the same room, but everything's different You can fight the sleep, but not the dream Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen Strange affliction wash over me Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire Couldn't conquer the blue sky Well, there's a small boat made of china It's going nowhere on the mantelpiece Well, do I lie like a lounge-room lizard Or do I sing like a bird released?

The words always confuse me. I thought there is only consciousness. But then what is prior to consciousness. Or is consciousness referred to "That" while "That" is experiencing the objective world. Beyond manifestation, the Absolute, is that "prior to consciousness."
All we can apparently find is consciousness. But is there any particular characteristic or "thingness" to it? I.e, is there a "That"? When the concept of consciousness is seen to be as empty as any other apparent construct, that is "prior to."
@@costcoexecutivemember Sri Nisagaratta Maharaj talk was titled "Prior to Consciousness" and this threw me off. Then I thought perhaps it was being used to differentiate between when the fetus becomes "conscious" in the body scientifically speaking versus the One-ness which is prior to the fetus. Anyways just another goose chase by someone that compiled Sri Nissagaratta's talks. There is only one-ness. "That" is just another term to described that which has no name, no form, one-ness, per "I am That."
😷NOTE: AS MANY OF YOU ALREADY KNOW, THE FRED UNIT IS RECOVERING FROM MAJOR SPINAL SURGERY. IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL, BUT THE RECOVERY PROCESS WILL BE LENGTHY, AND TWO OF THE MAJOR FACTORS ARE PHYSICAL ENERGY AND VOCAL CAPACITY. SO BOTH WILL HAVE TO BE CAREFULLY MANAGED. FRED WILL BE CUTTING VIDEOS AGAIN SHORTLY. THE USUAL BACK-AND-FORTH OF THIS BOARD WILL CHANGE, SO STAY TUNED. HELP IS ON THE WAY! WE CAN PROMISE YOU THAT WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! LOL FOR ANSWERS TO BURNING QUESTIONS, YOU NEED TO COME TO SATSANG SO THAT MANY CAN BENEFIT FROM THAT Q&A AT THE SAME TIME. MORE WILL BE REVEALED. WE LOVE YOU. FRED & BETSY & OUR GROWING STAFF
Thanks Fred. Funny! Would you agree, I awakeness confuse myself to be that which I know. A train of thought! A very self centred train of thought lol The doer and the enjoyer
So, if there is nobody asleep. If nobody is going to have an awakening... That means, that the only thing that is going to disappear or vanish is the belief that I'm the body, the belief that I'm the doer, the belief that I'm asleep, the belief of having a personal story, etc..... And that's why there is no one who is going to get enlightened. It's only the *belief* that is going to disappear.
It seems to me Awake is not difficult. Yet, Awake ( knowing who I am as awareness itself) ≠ Liberation, moksha. So, we can talk of Awakeness = awareness, got it. the Continuity of being pure awareness as one's reference point, one's Self-referral 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year is liberation. Being only awareness as one's frame of reference as Self.
What about the human? No referencing that thing? If there's no identification whatsoever that unit will wither and die. You're trying to draw hard and fast logical conclusions both here and above. It just doesn't work like that. Here's an equation for you: nonduality=paradox.
@@FredDavisNonduality hello Fred. Thank you for the note. As I see it i.e. what about the human, in the final view, it too is nothing but That. The continuity of That does not differ from itSelf as Being and as this notion of human ( as I see it). It is like the Ocean saying I am a wave... it doesn't ; It sees itself as 'Ocean' even when it expresses itself as 'wave'. It may talk of being a wave to another wave so they can relate, but it knows ' I am the Ocean'.
I thought when I woke up I would have some special information . That my energy would shift and I would have deep knowledge. I don’t , I b know the truth of who I am but that’s the only thing I know . I’m kind of bummed 😆
I suggest that you are still lost, hence the bummed. This is not saying you did or did not have an awakening EXPERIENCE. However, Present Conscious Awakeness and the memory of an awakening EXPERIENCE have little to do with each other.
Fred Davis I could be lost , or you could be reading too much into the word bummed. I think it’s the latter ALTHOUGH I may just understand awakening on an intellectual level and I am missing it on a living level of you know what I mean.

You're a sweetheart!
I'm sad to know you won't be here as often, but so thankful that you have been here as often as you have. Thank you!
Thank you, Margaret. I expect my video production to continue for a long time, and my private teaching as well. I'm just bowing to the body's aging, and its response to the energy transfers that occur in Awakening Sessions.
So friggin' good! The clarity knows the doubts and simply erases them. Thanks from Awakeness - kisses
