Few articulate this with such depth, precision, clarity, and profound simplicity. Listening is like stumbling upon a cool, refreshing waterfall after wandering exhausted for days in a hot, dry, dusty desert. Stripping down, you ecstatically plunge into the most delightful refreshment imaginable, only to realize you blindly passed it many times prior and wondering how. Thank you Jonathan. 🙏 Think I'll splash around here for a bit.
Holy Heavens Steve, you have a poetic way with words! What a beautiful, delightful missive to receive here. Much gratitude to you, my friend! Peace be with you! And splashing! 😅🙏
Dear Marjk... yes, I understand. I've experienced those things too. It is perhaps with the kind of support one finds here, that one begins to to brings some love and figiveness and spaciousness to even the parts that have been felt trauma and guilt. May the peace that passes understanding find you, even in those places. - Jonathan
Given that the "place from which you are coming" ...is the kind of place from which you might share such a loving thought, well, amen! And thank you Suzy! I'm glad this found you, and that your comment found me. Peace be with you! - Jonathan 😊🙏
I'm glad you love it Leslie! May it serve you well on your journey... And do feel free to reach out or find me on my website. There are other resources there that may support the journey as well. In the meantime... I'll hopefully post a new vid this afternoon. Be well, Leslie! Peace be with you! - Jonathan :-)
Well... yes! My experience is that most people definitely do not have any cognizance of any notion of non-duality at least in philosophic or conceptual terms. But everyone is destined, ultimately, to undergo a nondual experience in some way... even if it seems like it might literally take lifetimes... No body can avoid the truth forever! ...And that is good news. - Jonathan 😊🙏
@@jonathanvanvalin4518 I'm seeing it become more mainstream actually. I've had a number of conversations with others in public about non duality. Recently spoke to a homeless man about it and he was very aware of our non dual nature. Was quite interesting to have a face to face conversations with someone that fully comprehended our oneness.
I'm with you on the notion that, in general, there is a rising tide of awareness, though in absolute terms it seems a rising tide that has, as yet, risen to encompass a small percentage of our brothers and sisters. Certainly, in my own family tree and friends from growing up, there is no one that bends this way. Although these days, I am blessed to be around many others with whom these conversations are becoming quite common. Amen! It is frequently a joy. 🙏🙂
Ya the description of peace can be very confusing, it's almost just a state of mind or an awareness, its almost like you can't find your key to get in your house and your looking everywhere , and finally you stop and realize that the key was in your hand the entire time. Is that accurate?
Hunter, yes... I would say it is often like that. Very well said! I encourage you to find my little website, where I think you'll find... a couple things in particular... that would likely be of real service on your journey. Feel free to reach out and let me know if you do! And in the meantime, here's wishing the peace that passes all understanding finds you. 😊🙏 - Jonathan

I wonder if most people just don't want to wrap their heads around non-duality. It can be a difficult process for sure. Nice video btw :)
