This is powerful. I’ve been looking into Christianity lately after about 10 years of exploring various eastern traditions. There’s some real great stuff inside. I love Jesus and he is a superb role model for humanity.
I've actually suffered a lot and have died a cpl times. I'm very raw. Anyways, It's true. Give yourself back to that which you came from and you will find harmony, regardless of what you have done; if you can hope God receive you, he will. I promise. Even if you're entire life feels like a sadistic joke that's been played, or you hate and curse God... there's always a link. Trust that there was always something good and that you are intended to be part of it.
Marshall! I’m listening to all of your podcasts on the Tao of Christ and I have come to all of these same conclusions found within me. I’m 26 now and something within me has pulled me to this point. I knocked and knocked spontaneously until the door opened. I’m still not sure what to do with myself but I suppose the answer is to let go. I seem to fall in and out but when I’m in it’s glorious and I am a light to those around me when I walk without a “me”. You put that which can’t be spoken into words that I feel are getting closer and closer to the source. It’s awesome!
@@afternoonshred4866 I've experienced something very identical, and yes, I've had what I would call "encounters" with the Divine. I call it my "Near Life Experience".
@@afternoonshred4866 Yes, very happy to. It will take me some time to try and put it into human words because it transcends what we can describe in this world. It's a lot like the saying, "You had to be there to understand", but I'll try soon.
Kudos to you for seeing Non Duality in the Bible conclusion. God does not dwell in temples made with hands. Their old covenant revelation of an independent human potential was a body of corruption being only their types and figures. Paul's "in the flesh" or "flesh and blood".
My goodness this is what I needed. I've been going thru scriptures and seeing how they apply to this teaching and now I find this so helpful Bless you Dear soul..
Thank you for this wonderful video. We have always been the self, for there was never really a separate self and there isn't a true self. It is simply self.
Absolutely right! I especially liked the admonition that you do not have to renounce your Christian upbringing and teachings to embrace Contemplative thought. Its another way of looking at what you already know. Thank you!
I love this so much! Thank you got explaining this, it’s so cool for me to have this awareness come in.. and then to find this video (and others’ who are aware also) and just feel so connected and confirmed and encouraged 🤍🙏🏼 grace and peace to you
Nor having come from a Christian background this made no sense to me. But anything which may help anyone toward awakening and unity consciousness is great Thank you Tat Tuam Asi
Hello Marshall Davis. I am particularly interested in the relationship of non-duality and Christianity and their contrast. It's nice to meet others who are talking about these things 👋😎
Very pleasant finding nonduality and it’s presence in Bible teachings…I stumbled upon the grace movement a while back but you can only talk about this stuff for so long and not talk about HOW to stop the egoic nature and experience the kingdom of God…
I've had that trouble, too, plus when you're around Advaitists, you can't talk about the Divinity of Consciousness. This might just be that "happy medium" I've been looking for.
Talking about ego dissolution and ego death. Allen watts talks even more about the true teachings of Jesus and the hushing up of it unless people started becoming aware of their inner divinity. Cant have that happening if you want authoritarian religion.
@@nickied7816Allen watts never says that Jesus never exsisted. Stop putting words in his mouth. Also all the evidence about Christianity being baised off of other mythologies was discovered and presented by other Christians and jews. The story of Moses was made up, the 10 commandments was taken from Egypt. The book of mathew tries way to hard in making parallels between Jesus and Moses which is a strong red flag for historians.
Very well said! When entering the world of nonduality we wondered about the richness of the Eastern philosophy and the poverty of the western, including Christianity. It was not until Eckhart Tolle's wisdom and his reference to Jesus, Meister Eckhart and st. Francis that we realized that the original Christianity was equally rich, only the language was distorting and conceiling the clear nondual wisdom of which it talked. And now you are doing this great translatory work here on youtube also! Thank you!
There is no such thing as original Christianity. It is all plagiarism of Hindu/Buddhist thought which will be exposed in the course of the coming years.
@@AmitKumar-qu9se The only originality can be found in Awareness. Every religion in its core contains this. What happened with the core message in the development of the religion in time and culture, is different for all religions, but mostly it was a distortion and mystification of the core.
With nonduality comes the reality that there is no free will. Pity the fool who believes God gave them free will. The evil and the good are equally God's doing, all equally love. Til you understand this experientially, you have not understood non-duality.
Buddhist said nondual was a way of avoiding duality and monism. But, it was because both those understandings were unsatisfying and suffering. However, other Buddhists speak of learning to accept suffering. Perhaps it is possible to be free of suffering Who knows?
I agree with you completely. Nondualism and the Christianity seem to reinforce each other, in my experience. Nondualism seems to take you back to your original "I am" without worldly identifications which is similar to Christ-like mind. The main idea of Nondualism is the known (death) cannot affect the knower ( awareness). Also, death cannot affect Christ who's ultimate knower. Thank you for your insight that is similar to mine.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Non duality could also be defined as the absence of subject and object.. which is how we perceive the world, which makes us Sons of Man. When we are born again in Spirit, then duality disappears. This comes only through the extinguishment of the ego/ mind, ie the destruction of the false self . 🙏🏽

I would say that the soul is actually the temporary ego that associates itself with the physical world. The self is important and necessary though, for us to survive and function in these forms, but only temporary. It is only the spirit that continues though. And everything that animates us is of the spirit. You and I will cease to exist. Believe you me, that's a good thing and probably one of God's contingencies for creation.
You don't habe to use the language of Hinduism. Its just realizing the truth that sets you free. "In that day you shall know that I am in the Father and you in me and I in you." John 14:20. The Orthodox church has been teaching union with God, what we call Theosis, since the beginning of Christianity. It only sounds foreign to protestants and especially if you use Hindu terminology.
@Allen Morgan Could you possibly help me out with something? Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, and a few others still have priests and altars. Where can you find this in New Testament Christianity? I've been trying to reconcile this for a very long time, was raised Catholic, but went to Protestant.
There is no chirst non duality. Modern westerns got inspired by hindu and Buddhist teachings and try to make chirstanity same by false interpreting Bible.
As succinctly as possible the difference between Eastern Non Dualism (so called) and non dualistic Christianty is in the East universal Consciousness is a passive intentless "thing" like A.I. Whereas, in Christianity it is an Omnipresence Being of Love with purpose.
Not quite .. Eastern traditions, particularly Advaita Vedanta Asserts that it is impossible to define That , but attempts nonetheless by saying that, THAT is Truth, Consciousness and Bliss And that , Thou are That. Jesus taught the same . I AM the way, the life and the Truth, no man shall go unto the Father but through ME. In essence , that we are the gateway to our spirituality ..
There is no chirst non duality. Modern westerns got inspired by hindu and Buddhist teachings and try to make chirstanity same by false interpreting Bible.
Thank you so much! I've been struggling with reconciling Christian faith (which I've until now thought as necessarily dualistic) with my nondual awareness. Now I'm wondering, which sect/denomination of Christianity is most aware of and compatible with nondual awareness? God bless ^^
Christian Science speaks about there’s no real material body as all is spiritual rather than matter. If Mary Baker Eddy’s book Science and Health ,if read deeply, it makes it very clear that all is One spiritual Consciousness.
@@ndo104no well yes to Christian mysticism but there’s also Mary Baker Eddy’s Christian Science work which is based on her revelations as she read the Bible deeply. The name she gave to her understanding is in reality just a name but the Awareness she was given is beyond words and names. I think she called it a science as, when ‘seen’ it’s Divine Knowledge rather than faith. All that comes of true Christ Consciousness reveals the One so ultimately the names pointing to that are just words. Same as Buddha Mind and other mystical paintings but I’m no authority! ⭐️
I do not think I am in the least inferior to those "super-apostles." I may indeed be untrained as a speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way. 2 Corinthians 11:5-6. This doesn’t sound like non - duality to me. Paul has notions of superiority / inferiority over the other disciples. A true man of knowledge would not see such differentiation.. so I doubt that Paul was “Enlightened”
What version are you referencing? In the KJV, it says: "For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles." That sounds like Oneness to me. Everything equal. He wasn't saying he was better or worse.
The verse you quote is prefaced and put into context by verse 1. "I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me!" 2Cor11:1 NIV In the verses you have quoted Paul is being, you might say sarcastic, and acting like they do, in order to make his point.
This makes no sense that the bible and nonduality are in the same sentence. Nonduality means there is no God. Unconditional love is absent of god if you are talking nonduality. The bible itself is meaningless.
Everyone is like "blah blah blah" and it all is the same blah but we are hearing different blahs but blah is just blah and this is all just blah. BLAH BLAH!
It is not possible for Paul to have written all the letters that are within the Pauline Corpus. The Historical Paul wrote 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon, 2 Corinthians, and Romans. The Historical Paul was a political radical - he would be considered a leftist by today's political scale. Colossians and 2 Thessalonians were written by someone who was politically liberal - but not a leftist radical. The writing style and political alignment are too different to be Paul - besides, the real Paul was most likely dead when these letters were written. Finally, Ephesians, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus were written when the real Paul was definitely dead. And the political alignment isn't radical or liberal, it's down right conservative and they do not fit with the real Paul's views at all - or the views of the Historical Jesus, either.. Because these last four are obvious forgeries, I refuse to count them as legit parts of the NT. It was a mistake that they were included and they should be replaced by which ever books in the New Testament Apocrypha speak to the individual Christian on his or her spiritual journey.
I don't follow any religion. Religion is not a requirement. The answers of religion are totally insufficient to even qualify as legitimate at the least. Religion follows one book that solves all problems and all blight that torments humanity. What a joke....A book by Bronze age folks who didn't even know each other is the basis for the prosperity of humanity. 😅🤣🤣🤣
Honestly. Even with nonduality, you can easily dismiss the bible. Too many fools who love to talk about Jesus but are still horrible people to others. If you've truly found God, then I want to see it through action, not your regurgitative talking points.
