One thing that throws people off is they're expecting a hugely mystical experience when it's quite natural. It still moves you don't get me wrong it made me cry. Tears of joy.
Each teacher, each video, explains, another facet of what can't be explained, eventually clarity... even though we never lost what we are seeking. Thank you Fred, for the simplicity, the joy and for sharing this.... your audience is growing...
Thank you, Redenta! Yes, this teaching is growing rapidly. I watch with great satisfaction, knowing that absolutely everyone who needs it will find it. They "can't not"!
Fred that was spot on... I was belly laughing with you .......Oneness truly does have a great sense of humour. This can be made into the most complicated subject or the easiest... thanks for making it the latter of the two......
I love how you break it down to the nuts & bolts of "awakening." Refreshing! Very helpful, and I quite often knock Aleta over the head with your videos and say, "wake up!" only to recognize that I am already awake and need to stop the seeking and just rest in that Awareness. Thanks, Fred! Happy Holidays!
It makes sense that we can’t understand oneness intellectually. thank you for your refreshing approach to pointing out the obvious. Don’t ruin your career with this video 😂 love it.
Compelled to be going through some of Fred's older videos and I am glad I did. "The burglar can't see a Fred". Boom! The lights went on! Thank you Awakeness through the Fred unit! Thank you for being relentless!
I purchased your book Awaken Now when it first came out, and could not get through it (resistance!). I was able to sit down today and read the whole thing through. Wow. Thank You Fred
Great Video and explanation. Reminds me of the following- I am like God and God like me. I am as large as God. He is as small as I. He cannot above me nor I beneath him be. Angelus Silesius
Hi Fred, (Oneness) This unit is 56 and is finally waking up. Soaking up everything like a dry sponge thrown into a lake. My units character is changing so fast, as my identity keeps dissolving, and this is what my experience so far. I'm a very logical guy and I feel like something in me is just about ready to burst. I (the unit) BELIEVE everything about non duality, and I can tell Awareness is longing for the 'experience' to REALISE itself more fully through me. I feel like I'm on the edge of Awakening fully, and to Actually experience the knowing that time and space exist in me rather than I in it. I'm also ready to lose the dream of Anthony. Yup, throw that sponge into the middle of the lake without a rope ! I will make a booking with you very soon. I look forward to meeting myself LOL 😄😄😄🙏
Hi, Anthony. Be sure to book that appointment. I've worked with people who've been "on the edge" for 40 years - or more! Enlightenment is felt to be "right around the corner," but we just can't get to the corner!
Keep up the oneness, Fred. You are the real nobody at all and the rest of us are here now with it. Glad you seem to be teaching something to somebody. Unity is unified containing it all. Ah! Appreciation.
A separate person is like a rotating whirlpool in a great river saying "Hey, look at that amazing river flowing all around separate old me. Sure wish I could attain its Riverness, darn it!"
I feel for ones with mental illness due to genetic issues this is another Avenue the creator left to get out of a problem that’s not your fault. It’s just a different function of consciousness that people with some defects can chose there’s always a way to wake up. My mind went and thinking went and it was so subtle I couldn’t control my actions and addictions now it’s empty completely and I’m learning to walk this way. I need others to leave me alone for a while I love you all. I want to just sit outside for a year when I go in my home my person comes back when I. Outside I just feel I am.
Do "inside" and "outside" have any meaning? Where are the borders to infinity? Your "person" is your imagination. Who/what is it that feels, I Am? Inquire into that.
Hey Fred...thanks for the video! All I find in my experience is nameless things arising, and if you asked me "am I aware of the things arising?" I would say "yes, I am aware of the things arising." But I don't perceive an "I," and I don't perceive awareness either. So I must be the awareness that can't perceive or locate itself. ...I keep coming back to inquiry. What to do but sit and question?--but not question to "try and get somewhere." Also, I just realized I am believing the thought that awareness is separate from the environment... I don't know if that's true! Thanks again. Peace.
Hey Fred, you just popped up on my feed and I am loving this video. This is me right now and for years even. Done all the ‘good student’ Like doh 😣 I don’t get it 🤣🤣
THIS IS A HUGE AND OBVIOUS TRUTH THAT IS EVERYWHERE OVERLOOKED. I have a more recent video on this too. Search RUclips for the title and you should get another. I think in the description to this one there's a link to the other.💙
What I recognize is on the basis of concept I carry ,and without it is Burglar's noticing....with in the play of virtual reality ...so concept is the world with in.....🙏
Fred, as an NC native with a drawl, it warms my heart that I happened to stumble across your channel today by pure chance...I've read and listened to so many nondual teachers, but have never encountered one with a Southern accent like me, and it's wonderful. They do exist!! ;)
Hi, Garrett! I hated how I sounded at first, because I didn't sound like the others, but thanks to mail and comments I've come to see my delivery as a positive. Either way, It Is what It Is, huh?
Yes this one writing, checking the time of this video publishing ,experiencing the ambience of room just now is transient quality of oneness,by the time I finished typing next transient quality overpowers....sliding into next......so on..superimposing..over Unchangeable ONE 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I feel like there's a difference between Oneness experiencing itself through this unit, and this unit embodying the realization that it is Oneness. I know this because I already had an awakening experience where I realized all this but there was so much bliss and awe during that realization, but now my emotional state is back to normal while keeping those realizations. So I'm back to Oneness experiencing itself through this unit, but that realization isn't embodied with the same initial bliss and awe.
@@FredDavisNonduality I'll give it time, but I don't know what I'm missing. I already adamantly had the beliefs mentioned in the video before watching it.
Good one , Sailor Bob would say The Mind can never understand oneness because its function is to divide , of course we have to experience it from oneness. Love your videos hope Fredness had a good Thanksgiving
Lovely, thanks. Other than a grand Thanksgiving Dinner provided by my wonderful mother-in-law I sat here writing a new post which will be out today, and doing ACN Web work. I'm a one-trick pony. :-)
This video changed my life. I finally experienced enlightenment, in a fraction of a second. I had read so much about it but I still could not "get it" in my guts. I feel so grateful. Nothing will ever be same. Well... in the dream I mean, now that i really integrated that it's a dream haha
Splendid! People are popping all over the place from that video. Now, come to satsang, get the links, do whatever you can and whatever you have to, but PURSUE it, or your insight is likely to be fleeting. :-)
Thank you so much for your advice. It is very welcome. I am living in Paris, France, and I've been pursuing my quest for over ten years now (through various paths). I know one can lose touch easily and get pulled back into the dream and forget again. That's why I practice pure awareness meditation first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. I Really love the way you laugh about it and keep things fun, that's pretty much the way "I" "am" myself. I would be happy and honored to take some consultations if you do that via Skype.
Hey, Amiral! I do online satsang three Sundays a month, and individual coaching sessions every weekday. I'll include addresses to both announcements. Hope to meet you, and, "Welcome Home!" awakeningclaritynow.com/to-wake-up/ awakeningclaritynow.com/satsang-2/ July satsangs will be on July 9, 16, and 23
I enjoyed your lecture big time. Made me think, until I stopped thinking about it. I realize that I have been experiencing this idea all along. The only thing I did wrong was think about it too much. Authors were writing about it as if they were teaching the quantum mechanics of string theory oneness. I was previously caught up trying to learn the engineering formulas to finding enlightenment, (of course I am describing a metaphor...or am I? ) Fred Davis, I am in your debt for helping me out. May your new year be filled with more people thanking you, while you create more posts, or take on new projects. Thank you, sir. Be well, and my best to you and your loved ones. Rick
OMG! Few minutes into the video and l am blown away. I can't belive how easy it was to see It. I got it! lol. thank you for the clear explanation. ;) I can't get the smile off "my" face! thanks you!
Excellent! Welcome Home! See, it's NOT hard to wake up. Awakeness is simply in denial! We were told it was difficult, and are still told that it is, but it simply isn't. For 6,000+ years we put all of our emphasis on the wrong thing: waking up is easy. Waking up is easy. CLEARING UP IS NOT. Follow up on this moment, or it will fade to memory, and you'll be lost as ever. You could be the exception, but I've seen a few hundred folks who thought THEY were the exception find out that they weren't. Consider satsang. Strongly. This is advice from a guy who's woken up Awakeness through a thousand or more differnt units, of ever age, every culture, ever religion, every background. In this are the rule is simple: EQUALITY FOR ALL. awakeningclaritynow.com/satsang-2/
BTW, this is the SECOND Awakening to be reported after watching this video. AS PREDICTED. There will be more. You'd almost think The Living Method of Awakening WORKS! :-)
My experience is: one cannot understand it until one experiences it. The mind likes to think it does, but it doesn't know what it doesn't know, until knowing occurs.
Hi, Bruce, this is good. Just to add my two cents, can you show me a mind devoid of thought? "Mind" is another way of saying, "intricate-thought-cluster." Thoughts are not "housed." When awakening happens, it does so in a thought vacuum, which allows for true seeing/knowing/whatever-it-is. Awakening is a matter of subtraction, not addition. Sadly (for the unit-character), thought will return and an imaginary ego will again appear to arise.
Gratitude for one of the best advaïta video I've ever seen. I couldn't stop laughing and giggling (laughing buddha), I had to stop the videi ! It was even more powerful because I was watching your video in the dark (so no body seen). Love xoxo
Thanks for all yours answers and humour, Freding ! I love this beautiful "stage set" behind you : I feel like an ice cube melting with you in the sea (I mean, YOU, Water) ;-)
I wasn't going to write this comment, cause it is only a comment to myself,, and I already know what I wanted to say... So why bother??? It's Sunday 🌞🌞🐕💛 But, to miss an opportunity to wish the Fred a rippa Sunday!!?? Nup! Have a great day mate 👍
@@FredDavisNonduality Absolutely!! Thank you Mr.Fred for these videos. I bought your video course last week btw. It really knocked down some false notions I had about the so-called Enlightenment. I'll be checking out your future sessions, at least the on-demands on Vimeo. But Mrs.Betsy kindly offered me a free pass for your next online session. Thank you for your work! Best of luck. Cheers from Srilanka. ♥️ 🙏
I get the feeling that in order to experience oneness, something must flip in the brain. In order to receive it, you must be tuned in. I have no idea ofc. But all these teachers say the same thing. You are oneness, this is it, etc... Ok. That's fine. Doesn't help me tho.. They were all told the same thing before they woke up, and it didn't help them. Until it did. And when it did, it was so obvious to them. It seems a lot of these teachers thinks it's so obvious, they think it crazy that we don't experience it. I remember I took mushrooms once. And I had that experience, and it was obvious. It's obvious when you're in it. When you experience it. But if you're not "tuned in" so to speak, it is just words. I realize there a mental Matrix blocking me. Ofc there is. But I can't just oneness it away either. Noone can just tell me "This is it" and it vanishes. I must dissolve the person first. And I guess that is something you do over "time" by catching yourself and your illusions bit by bit. Until the dam breaks. What do you guys think?
Thank you, Fred. I apologize if I came across as critical. Well..... Just that, the separation is just so 'real' to me. It doesn't feel like oneness, even if I hear people talk about it. It isn't experientially obvious to me that oneness is the case, but... Still. I guess that's what it means to live in ignorance!;) That's what I mean saying I think something happens in the brain. Although, this is just speculation. But like with the mushrooms a few years back. How is it I experience the Oneness one minute, and then it's gone? There must be some gate in the brain in order to 'feel' it I think. Like you said, something turned around in your head. And voila! But this speculation will ofc not help me in any sense of the word anyways. Just theory on my part! I guess I'm interested in the science behind all this. I think scientists should look more into it.
WOW. It finally makes sense: you are the ONE (as Byron Katie says the whole time). I never understood it and now I feel it for the first time very strongly. Wow, what freedom! I don't know what else to say, but thank you. And why didn't I pay more attention to the "after the waking-up" things people are talking about! Is there a part 2 of this video: what to intellectually understand about the dream? ;-)
Thank you. It feels more like moving house. There is a lot of settling in to do. I'd thought I would find a big warm puddle of love, peace, joy and serenity and although I find this funny (is this me writing to me now?), there is mainly a lot of confusion. I am very happy you have aftercare video's on your youtube channel and I am sure your books will be helpful too.
Oh yes. You've received an invitation to the Dance. It's a big deal, but it's not the Dance itself, and it's usually written in disappearing ink. Follow up! Consider coming to satsang. I'm hosting a free one on the 30th of July, from 2-4pm Eastern.
Why the oneness takes the specific forms that it takes? For example why there is male and female, there are galaxies, the atoms,...? And not other forms? It means that the one prefers and selects a specific form of expression....
I am a ‘sensing device for oneness’ ... love that - Thanks Fred a great video. Does that mean clever people with better brains have manifested better sensing and calculating devices?
I left a clever unit about 15 minutes ago. All serious nondual students are clever. This one came to see True Nature absolutely brilliantly. How did I help her wake up? I dumbed her down. Cleverness is the problem, not the solution. Manifestation is a dream. There's no how or why or comparison or alternative. Just This. And even This is a dream. :-)
Even tho I happen to be the Only being excluded from this 'oneness', ......I do like this video! it makes me think I can. continue being lazy! otherwise, awakening seems like SO much work!
Yes, that's one of the most helpful videos I've ever cut, and I've had reports of it encouraging multiple awakenings. I'm glad that "yours" was one of them! (Said Oneness to Itself)
Can you upload a Sunday satsang so i can get a feel what its about im thinking about doing a couple ..btw iv become slightly obsessed with your teachings and they have really helped me more ways than u can imagine ...not that imagining is any use lol
Setting. Listening to the bowls sing. For a time there is pleasantnes. Then, there is a touch of immense pleasure followed by intense fear and withdrawal. What is that?
Ego is afraid of Truth. It can't not me. It's existence is diametrically opposed to Truth-sort of! Really ego is not our enemy; it can even be a sort of friend, or pet! We can't control what thoughts arise, but we can control what's believed via the power of inquiry.
I like the word Oneness compared to the word God, because unfortunately, the word God over the years has made many people think that "things" are somehow separate from God. That complexity has prevented many people from understanding our true nature.
I understand what you're saying, but we can't let vocabulary (or anything else) hold us back. I get it, because I once shared that view. Now I don't know enough to care. ;-)
LOL I'd love to come to NYC and teach - if I traveled. I don't; I've done all the traveling I care to do. I sit in my study in my little apartment on the wrong side of town with my dogs and cat and daily invite the world to visit me here via the Internet. You, too, are invited. Consider satsang. ;-)
Hi Fred, After watching videos from Rupert Spira and a few others I'm starting to feel like having a flower beside you is the sign/symbol of an enlightened teacher if you understand what I am saying... I understand and agree with this message but I find myself in the same state. I understand and agree, I can say honestly that I am oneness pretending to be 'me' however it remains that this is a thought and a result of beliefs not direct seeing. I understand also how absurd this message and communication is but I guess I don't get how proving it would cause it to become my experience.
You are NOT saying the same thing that I am. You are speaking from the Bubble of Self-reflection. (Search and find my two videos with that phrase in them.) I am saying THERE IS NO SHLOMO BACHAR. You are saying an IMAGINARY character would like to feel something.??? If I have an IMAGINARY cow, how much milk can I expect tomorrow morning? How cold is it on the "other side" of no-thing?
"Oneness IS your experience, you just don't understand it intellectually." Does "you just don't understand it intellectually" mean: A - one cannot understand oneness intellectually because it has nothing to do with the intellect -or- B - you do not understand oneness correctly/intellectually because you are still asleep I love how you turned the phrase around, I am just slightly confused on which one you are emphasizing. I can see "A" being the more likely answer, but B makes sense as well. In the case of B, someone who has already awoken may have a more "proper intellectual understanding" compared to someone who has not, even though it is ultimately not a matter of intellect.
I am gonna ask the same question differently: if I am oneness, my worldview should be non localized, not from my eyes/body and on but from everywhere. And this is not the case. I can feel the world from a localized point, I am in a specific country, specific family, specific body etc. And if I was oneness, I wouldn’t seek for something or even talk, as for what?!
Apparently, Oneness likes to laugh a lot... And why shouldn't It? It's playing with itself, right? Einstein said: "God doesn't play dice." To which Woody Allen responded: "No, He is playing hide and seek." And then Oneness (in one of His different guises) responds: "Yes, I am playing hide and seek... with myself!" Fred understands the joke, hence the laughter...
The you is not the mind. This video describes my situation. It is MY situation, is it not? Not the mind's or ego's or whatever, but belongs to the I. Hmm. I''m still saying it as though the I is an object. So subject I is thinking/writing about object I. But it is all I. The mind cannot be I, so all situations are "my" situations. Even if the mind tries to inject doubt into it now. So this is it right? Maybe not, the doubtful skeptical mind arises again. But that is again I. All that said, I do believe this brought me closer. So the question is, who is this "I"? It can only be Nondual right? It can't be mind? Both the identification and misidentification are being made by Nondual aka me/I! I was reading a question/answer article about tipping and it made me think how the question could've been solved with a simple conversation but instead the overthinker who wrote the letter created a whole economy around this thought/fear (of splitting the check equally when they didn't each much) that he then wrote it into an advice column who then answered it and put it on their website and all these commenters were giving their comments and I made mine and even carried that story over here. And ALL this is being done by me/Oneness like an Internet! Mind still is waiting for something "sudden" to happen!
Everything works backwards you say.... you can "prove" it you say...why aren't more people thinking this way you say.... you're awesome. I can't possibly figure out how to put in writing on this post what I am feeling. I enjoy your character and the way you put things together. I didn't get very far into the video but my heart is lighter after watching what I have.
Thank you, Garth! You'll enjoy my next video, assuming I can get around to cutting it. If you want a sneak peak, you can go to Awakening Clarity Now and read the first two installments of The Spiritual Carnival. I can tell from what you've said here that it would speak to you. ♥
ok ok oneness is oneness - instant constant continuous creation - god is everything literally and figuratively and everything is god literally and figuratively - oneness is inclusive of infinite variety in and on every plane and strata
Well, I did just buy your newest book, but to be honest, this video didn't do a thing for me besides turn me off. It happened a year ago when I checked your videos out, but I'm back again. Gonna hang in there and get over whatever it is that seems to turn me off. Not very positive, maybe, but that's my experience so far. (For the record, I did give you a like, because I want to like it!) xBuzz UPDATE: I enjoy eating my nutritious words in the reply below. love, Buzz
Excellent video Fred. I love how you did the 180 and made me think about this in a different way. I can't say that things clicked but after viewing this video I had a powerful meditation session where I enquired what my true nature is. I understand that I am oneness that doesn't understand oneness intellectually. Would defining oneness help? Can words not define oneness? Would this help me to understand on an intellectual level? This is the first video of yours that I have watched and look forward to viewing the others. I hope to finally understand oneness and maybe your videos will help. Thanks again Curt
I hear from a lot of people that the videos here are very clear for those who are ready. Now hear this: You will NEVER UNDERSTAND ONENESS INTELLECTUALLY. And no, no, NO, words cannot define or even TOUCH Truth. Having said all that, let welcome Me-As-Curtisness to The Living Method of Spiritual Awakening. In peace, You-As-Fredness.

Thanks for waking me up Fred.
I'm so glad to hear it, Bruce. Welcome Home!
"Maybe I need to get a bigger shirt to hold oneness."
Yeah...oneness size fits all 😂
Oneness is the shirt that hold you.

I am like God and God like me. I am as large as God. He is as small as I. He cannot above me nor I beneath him be.

Hear, hear!
Why do you keep saying these crazy things?! This is actually the best teaching ever, I love it.
:-) Thanks, Jim!
Hi Fred, (Oneness)
This unit is 56 and is finally waking up. Soaking up everything like a dry sponge thrown into a lake.
My units character is changing so fast, as my identity keeps dissolving, and this is what my experience so far.
I'm a very logical guy and I feel like something in me is just about ready to burst.
I (the unit) BELIEVE everything about non duality, and I can tell Awareness is longing for the 'experience' to REALISE itself more fully through me.
I feel like I'm on the edge of Awakening fully, and to Actually experience the knowing that time and space exist in me rather than I in it.
I'm also ready to lose the dream of Anthony. Yup, throw that sponge into the middle of the lake without a rope !
I will make a booking with you very soon.
I look forward to meeting myself LOL

Hi, Anthony. Be sure to book that appointment. I've worked with people who've been "on the edge" for 40 years - or more! Enlightenment is felt to be "right around the corner," but we just can't get to the corner!
Keep up the oneness, Fred. You are the real nobody at all and the rest of us are here now with it. Glad you seem to be teaching something to somebody. Unity is unified containing it all. Ah! Appreciation.
Of course there's nothing to teach and no one to teach, but staying with these insights is what pushes us beyond them.
Thanks Fred YOUR The One 😊
Yes, we can each say, "I'm the One(ness)!"
A separate person is like a rotating whirlpool in a great river saying "Hey, look at that amazing river flowing all around separate old me. Sure wish I could attain its Riverness, darn it!"
Love it!
Enjoyed your clarity, simplicity and exuberance, and especially joy. It's pure easy logic.
Yes, we use the mind to go beyond the mind. Logic takes us to the, "Oh! THIS!" crossing of the Gateless Gate.
I feel for ones with mental illness due to genetic issues this is another Avenue the creator left to get out of a problem that’s not your fault. It’s just a different function of consciousness that people with some defects can chose there’s always a way to wake up.

Thanks, Fred. Immensely helpful, as always! Love, Kathleen
I love you too. See you Sunday!
Thought is matter, therefore thought is voilence aka division. :)
The knive can not cut itself.
All is cellf.
As it's seen here, there is neither matter, nor division. Not that it matters. :-)
It’s come to me ego death and felt amazing empty and full but my ego habits continued. This is the path I’m on
If ego died, who's on what path? Your experience has already been overlaid by memory. Come to Satsang.
This unit is closer than close, thank you oneness!
What animates the unit is what's REALLY closer than close!
@@FredDavisNonduality You are good
OMG I laughed and laughed and laughed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s utter madness and yet we all love to suffer with it 🤣🤣🤣
Until we don't. That's when people find mel! lol💙
7 mins in and this unit got it thanks fred unit.
Excellent, Peter! Now come to satsang so that you can dance the dance you've received an invitation for.

Great Fred.Thank you so much for giving the coin example.Indeed there is no other coin!!
My pleasure!
Fred I'm hearing your voice speeded up on this .. Works very well actually ... L🌞ve ! 🙏🏽
Hey, pal! God only knows what happens when I hit "record"!!
What I recognize is on the basis of concept I carry ,and without it is Burglar's noticing....with in the play of virtual reality
...so concept is the world with in.....🙏
It's a magnificent, mad world that's entirely populated by temporary appearaces!
“This teaching isn’t for everyone it’s for wore out Units “ that is what I was trying to explain.
Thanks!
Fred, as an NC native with a drawl, it warms my heart that I happened to stumble across your channel today by pure chance...I've read and listened to so many nondual teachers, but have never encountered one with a Southern accent like me, and it's wonderful. They do exist!! ;)

🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, only YOU.
Exactly what I've experienced. Lol best and clearest explanation. 😂
Thank you!
I feel like there's a difference between Oneness experiencing itself through this unit, and this unit embodying the realization that it is Oneness. I know this because I already had an awakening experience where I realized all this but there was so much bliss and awe during that realization, but now my emotional state is back to normal while keeping those realizations. So I'm back to Oneness experiencing itself through this unit, but that realization isn't embodied with the same initial bliss and awe.
Watch this video again. And again. Let it seep in. It's addressing your precise situation.
@@FredDavisNonduality I'll give it time, but I don't know what I'm missing. I already adamantly had the beliefs mentioned in the video before watching it.
The unit (seeker) needs more videos like this ......."your gonna say something any minute that's gonna wake me up" 🤗🤗🤗
LOL
Happy to found you !!! Brilliant 💜
The odds of you eventually finding me were 100%. That the Way of It. ;-)
big leap for me. i feel better, and it its actually funny, not serious.
thank you
That's right, John. It's the Cosmic Joke! Very good.
Good one , Sailor Bob would say The Mind can never understand oneness because its function is to divide , of course we have to experience it from oneness. Love your videos hope Fredness had a good Thanksgiving
Lovely, thanks. Other than a grand Thanksgiving Dinner provided by my wonderful mother-in-law I sat here writing a new post which will be out today, and doing ACN Web work. I'm a one-trick pony. :-)
This video changed my life. I finally experienced enlightenment, in a fraction of a second. I had read so much about it but I still could not "get it" in my guts. I feel so grateful. Nothing will ever be same. Well... in the dream I mean, now that i really integrated that it's a dream haha
Splendid! People are popping all over the place from that video.
Now, come to satsang, get the links, do whatever you can and whatever you have to, but PURSUE it, or your insight is likely to be fleeting. :-)
Thank you so much for your advice. It is very welcome. I am living in Paris, France, and I've been pursuing my quest for over ten years now (through various paths). I know one can lose touch easily and get pulled back into the dream and forget again. That's why I practice pure awareness meditation first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. I Really love the way you laugh about it and keep things fun, that's pretty much the way "I" "am" myself. I would be happy and honored to take some consultations if you do that via Skype.
Hey, Amiral! I do online satsang three Sundays a month, and individual coaching sessions every weekday. I'll include addresses to both announcements. Hope to meet you, and, "Welcome Home!"

July satsangs will be on July 9, 16, and 23
Perfect, You will hear about me soon :-)
Keep it up !
:-)
I enjoyed your lecture big time. Made me think, until I stopped thinking about it. I realize that I have been experiencing this idea all along. The only thing I did wrong was think about it too much. Authors were writing about it as if they were teaching the quantum mechanics of string theory oneness. I was previously caught up trying to learn the engineering formulas to finding enlightenment, (of course I am describing a metaphor...or am I? )
Fred Davis, I am in your debt for helping me out. May your new year be filled with more people thanking you, while you create more posts, or take on new projects. Thank you, sir. Be well, and my best to you and your loved ones.
Rick
Thanks, Rick! You're the third one to report awakening from this video. There will be more. Welcome Home. _()_
OMG! Few minutes into the video and l am blown away. I can't belive how easy it was to see It. I got it! lol. thank you for the clear explanation. ;) I can't get the smile off "my" face! thanks you!
Excellent! Welcome Home! See, it's NOT hard to wake up. Awakeness is simply in denial!
We were told it was difficult, and are still told that it is, but it simply isn't. For 6,000+ years we put all of our emphasis on the wrong thing: waking up is easy. Waking up is easy. CLEARING UP IS NOT. Follow up on this moment, or it will fade to memory, and you'll be lost as ever. You could be the exception, but I've seen a few hundred folks who thought THEY were the exception find out that they weren't. Consider satsang. Strongly. This is advice from a guy who's woken up Awakeness through a thousand or more differnt units, of ever age, every culture, ever religion, every background. In this are the rule is simple: EQUALITY FOR ALL. awakeningclaritynow.com/satsang-2/
BTW, this is the SECOND Awakening to be reported after watching this video. AS PREDICTED. There will be more. You'd almost think The Living Method of Awakening WORKS! :-)
Will be joining you on your next satsang. ;) looking forward to it!
Good for you! I look forward to meeting you. :-)
@@FredDavisNonduality If there is only one, why do you need to wake a few hundred? #confused
This is wonderful
Thank you!
My experience is: one cannot understand it until one experiences it. The mind likes to think it does, but it doesn't know what it doesn't know, until knowing occurs.
Hi, Bruce, this is good.
Just to add my two cents, can you show me a mind devoid of thought? "Mind" is another way of saying, "intricate-thought-cluster." Thoughts are not "housed."
When awakening happens, it does so in a thought vacuum, which allows for true seeing/knowing/whatever-it-is. Awakening is a matter of subtraction, not addition. Sadly (for the unit-character), thought will return and an imaginary ego will again appear to arise.
Thank you its so simple and natural this is it I AM
You’re very welcome, Jaris. Glad it resonated! 😊
thanks fred. everything is you.
And You!
one of you Best Fredness
Thanks, Larz!
I just adore you Fred!!!
The feeling of being flattered arise. Thanks, Phoenix!
Love this Fred unit!
Thank you, Vicki! ♥
Gratitude for one of the best advaïta video I've ever seen. I couldn't stop laughing and giggling (laughing buddha), I had to stop the videi ! It was even more powerful because I was watching your video in the dark (so no body seen). Love xoxo
Thanks, Natacha! It's one of my favorites, too! ♥
Thanks for all yours answers and humour, Freding ! I love this beautiful "stage set" behind you : I feel like an ice cube melting with you in the sea (I mean, YOU, Water) ;-)
I wasn't going to write this comment, cause it is only a comment to myself,, and I already know what I wanted to say... So why bother???
It's Sunday 🌞🌞🐕💛
But, to miss an opportunity to wish the Fred a rippa Sunday!!??
Nup!
Have a great day mate 👍
Thank you, Marcus!
Oh god. How simple can it be! I've been knocking on the front door
You've been knocking from the inside!
@@FredDavisNonduality Absolutely!! Thank you Mr.Fred for these videos. I bought your video course last week btw. It really knocked down some false notions I had about the so-called Enlightenment. I'll be checking out your future sessions, at least the on-demands on Vimeo. But Mrs.Betsy kindly offered me a free pass for your next online session. Thank you for your work! Best of luck.
Cheers from Srilanka. ♥️ 🙏
I watch this video,
and as I watch...
What arises in me, is this feeling...
That I've done my whole life wrong.
All of it...
Congratulations! Most people are unwilling to see that. But not to worry, it was never your honesty to begin with.
@@FredDavisNonduality just moving through me?
"This is It'...including the thought/feeling its not
Yep.
I get the feeling that in order to experience oneness, something must flip in the brain. In order to receive it, you must be tuned in. I have no idea ofc. But all these teachers say the same thing. You are oneness, this is it, etc... Ok. That's fine. Doesn't help me tho..
They were all told the same thing before they woke up, and it didn't help them. Until it did. And when it did, it was so obvious to them. It seems a lot of these teachers thinks it's so obvious, they think it crazy that we don't experience it. I remember I took mushrooms once. And I had that experience, and it was obvious. It's obvious when you're in it. When you experience it. But if you're not "tuned in" so to speak, it is just words.
I realize there a mental Matrix blocking me. Ofc there is. But I can't just oneness it away either. Noone can just tell me "This is it" and it vanishes. I must dissolve the person first. And I guess that is something you do over "time" by catching yourself and your illusions bit by bit. Until the dam breaks.
What do you guys think?
It sounds like you believe that you're something "outside" of Oneness. Is that even a possibility?
"Doesn't help me tho.."
See above.
Thank you, Fred. I apologize if I came across as critical.
Well..... Just that, the separation is just so 'real' to me. It doesn't feel like oneness, even if I hear people talk about it. It isn't experientially obvious to me that oneness is the case, but... Still. I guess that's what it means to live in ignorance!;)
That's what I mean saying I think something happens in the brain. Although, this is just speculation. But like with the mushrooms a few years back. How is it I experience the Oneness one minute, and then it's gone? There must be some gate in the brain in order to 'feel' it I think. Like you said, something turned around in your head. And voila! But this speculation will ofc not help me in any sense of the word anyways. Just theory on my part! I guess I'm interested in the science behind all this. I think scientists should look more into it.
Better than a cup of coffee, I'm awake 🙂
__()__
FRED! Thank you for being so direct, I mean Oneness thank you. Lol oneness is free!!!!!! Lol
♥
WOW. It finally makes sense: you are the ONE (as Byron Katie says the whole time). I never understood it and now I feel it for the first time very strongly. Wow, what freedom! I don't know what else to say, but thank you. And why didn't I pay more attention to the "after the waking-up" things people are talking about! Is there a part 2 of this video: what to intellectually understand about the dream? ;-)
Welcome Home!
Thank you. It feels more like moving house. There is a lot of settling in to do. I'd thought I would find a big warm puddle of love, peace, joy and serenity and although I find this funny (is this me writing to me now?), there is mainly a lot of confusion. I am very happy you have aftercare video's on your youtube channel and I am sure your books will be helpful too.
Oh yes. You've received an invitation to the Dance. It's a big deal, but it's not the Dance itself, and it's usually written in disappearing ink. Follow up! Consider coming to satsang. I'm hosting a free one on the 30th of July, from 2-4pm Eastern.
Why the oneness takes the specific forms that it takes? For example why there is male and female, there are galaxies, the atoms,...? And not other forms? It means that the one prefers and selects a specific form of expression....
Who wants to know? That's the only question that matters.
I'm 2:50 in and I have laughed so hard! Had to stop and say "Spirit, You Is So Brilliant! And Hilarious!" Much Love Fred
LOL Thanks, Daniel!
I am a ‘sensing device for oneness’ ... love that - Thanks Fred a great video.
Does that mean clever people with better brains have manifested better sensing and calculating devices?
I left a clever unit about 15 minutes ago. All serious nondual students are clever. This one came to see True Nature absolutely brilliantly. How did I help her wake up?
I dumbed her down. Cleverness is the problem, not the solution.
Manifestation is a dream. There's no how or why or comparison or alternative. Just This. And even This is a dream.
:-)
Even tho I happen to be the Only being excluded from this 'oneness', ......I do like this video! it makes me think I can. continue being lazy! otherwise, awakening seems like SO much work!
It actually takes a lot more energy to stay asleep than it does to live as Awakeness, which is the Natural State.
It all started here for me...
Time flies.
Yes, that's one of the most helpful videos I've ever cut, and I've had reports of it encouraging multiple awakenings. I'm glad that "yours" was one of them! (Said Oneness to Itself)
I knew you were gonna say that, but that laugh 😂
lol
Math classes should start with oneness and emptiness. It would take away the fear or nuisance most people have about it.
I'll salute THAT idea! :-)
Can you upload a Sunday satsang so i can get a feel what its about im thinking about doing a couple ..btw iv become slightly obsessed with your teachings and they have really helped me more ways than u can imagine ...not that imagining is any use lol
There are already satsangs online. Search RUclips, you'll find them.
Setting. Listening to the bowls sing. For a time there is pleasantnes. Then, there is a touch of immense pleasure followed by intense fear and withdrawal. What is that?
Ego is afraid of Truth. It can't not me. It's existence is diametrically opposed to Truth-sort of! Really ego is not our enemy; it can even be a sort of friend, or pet! We can't control what thoughts arise, but we can control what's believed via the power of inquiry.
That was just perfect 😊 Thank yoooo 😙❤
You're so welcome! ♥
I like the word Oneness compared to the word God, because unfortunately, the word God over the years has made many people think that "things" are somehow separate from God. That complexity has prevented many people from understanding our true nature.
I understand what you're saying, but we can't let vocabulary (or anything else) hold us back. I get it, because I once shared that view. Now I don't know enough to care. ;-)
❤❤
❤️
who could ever step outside of "what is" and point at it
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Give that man a prize!😉
You are delightful. 😁
Thank you, Ooana! :-)
Come teach in NYC! Your accent alone will knock our socks off! 😃
LOL I'd love to come to NYC and teach - if I traveled. I don't; I've done all the traveling I care to do. I sit in my study in my little apartment on the wrong side of town with my dogs and cat and daily invite the world to visit me here via the Internet. You, too, are invited. Consider satsang. ;-)
Hi Fred,
After watching videos from Rupert Spira and a few others I'm starting to feel like having a flower beside you is the sign/symbol of an enlightened teacher if you understand what I am saying...
I understand and agree with this message but I find myself in the same state. I understand and agree, I can say honestly that I am oneness pretending to be 'me' however it remains that this is a thought and a result of beliefs not direct seeing. I understand also how absurd this message and communication is but I guess I don't get how proving it would cause it to become my experience.
Keep tuning in, check out my website, or better yet, some to satsang. awakeningclaritynow.com/satsang-2/
I am saying the same thing LOL. But on the other side, how can Oneness be felt? As there is nothing other than the one…
You are NOT saying the same thing that I am. You are speaking from the Bubble of Self-reflection. (Search and find my two videos with that phrase in them.)
I am saying THERE IS NO SHLOMO BACHAR. You are saying an IMAGINARY character would like to feel something.???
If I have an IMAGINARY cow, how much milk can I expect tomorrow morning?
How cold is it on the "other side" of no-thing?
"Oneness IS your experience, you just don't understand it intellectually."
Does "you just don't understand it intellectually" mean:
A - one cannot understand oneness intellectually because it has nothing to do with the intellect
-or-
B - you do not understand oneness correctly/intellectually because you are still asleep
I love how you turned the phrase around, I am just slightly confused on which one you are emphasizing. I can see "A" being the more likely answer, but B makes sense as well. In the case of B, someone who has already awoken may have a more "proper intellectual understanding" compared to someone who has not, even though it is ultimately not a matter of intellect.
The mind wants to hold Oneness. In fact, the mind can only BEHOLD Oneness.
Look in the space around A and B. The excluded middle! A. B. Both A and B. Neither A nor B.
Only me -1
Equals 1 😅♥️
It makes the math easier, for sure 😊
Good teaching :) thanks :)
Thank you!
I am gonna ask the same question differently: if I am oneness, my worldview should be non localized, not from my eyes/body and on but from everywhere. And this is not the case. I can feel the world from a localized point, I am in a specific country, specific family, specific body etc. And if I was oneness, I wouldn’t seek for something or even talk, as for what?!
You are a mile away from the truth. Try Skillful Means. awakeningclaritynow.com/skillful-means-4/
Apparently, Oneness likes to laugh a lot... And why shouldn't It? It's playing with itself, right? Einstein said: "God doesn't play dice." To which Woody Allen responded: "No, He is playing hide and seek." And then Oneness (in one of His different guises) responds: "Yes, I am playing hide and seek... with myself!" Fred understands the joke, hence the laughter...
That's just right! lol
The you is not the mind. This video describes my situation. It is MY situation, is it not? Not the mind's or ego's or whatever, but belongs to the I. Hmm. I''m still saying it as though the I is an object. So subject I is thinking/writing about object I. But it is all I. The mind cannot be I, so all situations are "my" situations. Even if the mind tries to inject doubt into it now. So this is it right? Maybe not, the doubtful skeptical mind arises again. But that is again I. All that said, I do believe this brought me closer. So the question is, who is this "I"? It can only be Nondual right? It can't be mind? Both the identification and misidentification are being made by Nondual aka me/I!
I was reading a question/answer article about tipping and it made me think how the question could've been solved with a simple conversation but instead the overthinker who wrote the letter created a whole economy around this thought/fear (of splitting the check equally when they didn't each much) that he then wrote it into an advice column who then answered it and put it on their website and all these commenters were giving their comments and I made mine and even carried that story over here. And ALL this is being done by me/Oneness like an Internet! Mind still is waiting for something "sudden" to happen!
Be still. Notice God.
I literally was thinking this about myself today and thought it was only me feeling this way.. . 😂
This is actually THE BIG PUZZLE in nonduality. It won't make sense until it does, and when it does, it won't be Wolf that it makes sense to! :-)
@@FredDavisNonduality Cheers Fred, love from Ireland.
mic drop. awesome!
it keeps hitting internally- so much love for this!
Thank you!
Lots of love back to you, Chrissy!♥
the common presumption that: that which is, is not this this-ness, and yet there is no other this-ness. it's this and that's that!
Everything works backwards you say.... you can "prove" it you say...why aren't more people thinking this way you say.... you're awesome. I can't possibly figure out how to put in writing on this post what I am feeling. I enjoy your character and the way you put things together. I didn't get very far into the video but my heart is lighter after watching what I have.
Thank you, Garth! You'll enjoy my next video, assuming I can get around to cutting it. If you want a sneak peak, you can go to Awakening Clarity Now and read the first two installments of The Spiritual Carnival. I can tell from what you've said here that it would speak to you. ♥
It's not just Fred that is the dream or being dreamt but everything and everyone else also right? And then is Nondual lucid dreaming?
There is dreaming. It's not anybody's dreaming. Just dreaming.
Are other dimensions just our own unique perspectives where we are dreaming our own dream as oneness?
Other dimensions? There is no such thing as "other," Oneness.
ok ok oneness is oneness - instant constant continuous creation - god is everything literally and figuratively and everything is god literally and figuratively - oneness is inclusive of infinite variety in and on every plane and strata
You get a gold star, Don. :-)
I just discovered your video.Much love.
Thank you, Keith! Come back. Come to satsang. My website is AwakeningClarityNow.com.
Thanks FredI continue to enjoy your invitation ,unit still not warn out yet.LOL"mike in the bubble"
Thanks, Mike! Consider coming to satsang. You don't have to be awake to join us, but joining us just might do it.
Soooo.....i been experiencing this while time.... Its the most unremarkable thing ever.....
Yes.💙
Well, I did just buy your newest book, but to be honest, this video didn't do a thing for me besides turn me off. It happened a year ago when I checked your videos out, but I'm back again. Gonna hang in there and get over whatever it is that seems to turn me off. Not very positive, maybe, but that's my experience so far. (For the record, I did give you a like, because I want to like it!) xBuzz UPDATE: I enjoy eating my nutritious words in the reply below. love, Buzz
I've had a good bit of mail from people who've woken up from this video, so stay open to it. But we can only hear what we can hear - I get that.
I read the book. Allow me to respectfully retract my previous statement. In deep gratitude. xxxFrank aka Buzz xxx
Hey Fred unit! Looking forward to seeing you on the EC group on Dec. 15th. (I think).
Hey, Gary! It'll be great to see you!
Love your books. Looking forward to your videos
Thanks!
I like it
Excellent video Fred.
I love how you did the 180 and made me think about this in a different way. I can't say that things clicked but after viewing this video I had a powerful meditation session where I enquired what my true nature is. I understand that I am oneness that doesn't understand oneness intellectually. Would defining oneness help? Can words not define oneness? Would this help me to understand on an intellectual level?
This is the first video of yours that I have watched and look forward to viewing the others. I hope to finally understand oneness and maybe your videos will help.
Thanks again
Curt
I hear from a lot of people that the videos here are very clear for those who are ready. Now hear this: You will NEVER UNDERSTAND ONENESS INTELLECTUALLY. And no, no, NO, words cannot define or even TOUCH Truth. Having said all that, let welcome Me-As-Curtisness to The Living Method of Spiritual Awakening.
In peace,
You-As-Fredness.
LEGENDary directness!! Ahahaha
Hey, Henry! Great to hear from you!
If I'm not separate from other people then why don't I have access to their experience?
What other people? There's just One Thing Going On.
