Yes, you are right. I never felt right when I was told to do away with everything I was because all that was not real and did not exist. It is wonderful to be alive and know you are you in spirit, body, and soul.
Thank you

5:22 crucial part (marked for my ref)
You can’t get from here to there because you’re already there. It’s kind of a trip.
I think you hit the nail on the head w/this one Sam. Great analogy.
Amazing video! Such a powerful analogy thank you!!
That clears up so much confusion! The fake me can't do anything. But the real me is there and can be reached by focusing, not on words, but on silence and space. When I focus on paying attention to the silence behind sound, and the space between objects then and only then is my real self accessible. Thank you once again for your careful description and the clarity with which you describe this truth.
Still the fake "I" focusing on paying attention.
Have you struggled with non-duality pointers in the past?
This video reminds me of a quote by Osho: "Many times I say, learn the art of love, but what I really mean is: learn the art of removing all that hinders love. It is a negative process. It is like digging a well: you go on removing many layers of earth, stones, rocks, and then suddenly there is water. The water was always there; it was an undercurrent. Now you have removed all the barriers, the water is available. So is love: love is the undercurrent of your being. It is already flowing, but there are many rocks, many layers of earth to be removed. That's what I mean when I say learn the art of love. It is really not learning love but unlearning the ways of unlove."
That very much aligns with my experience. Nothing needs to be created, since the Absolute is ever-present. It can only seem to be hidden, but is never lost in actuality.
Ahhh Sam!! This one is sooo sooongood❤
Your clock is the ultimate teacher. :)
This analogy is thee grand slam home run of all grand slam home runs comrade
You are right ....cannot be communicated .. there is not language...but most of all there is not need...
Thank you! This really helped 🙏
Yes, Yes, Yes!
I've just discovered your channel. Thank you! The most stunning explanation of this 'level confusion' I have heard. I had the humorous image of a virtual character reaching up to its head to try to remove the headset in order to wake up, but of course, to an illusory character completely immersed in the virtual experience, there IS no headset to remove. Amusing but brilliant!
very easy well explained. thanks
Thank you for sharing this video. It was clarifying and helpful.
Wow! This analogy is amazing! I had my first non-dual experiences by imagining i was in a virtual reality. At that time i did not even heard about non-duality. Thank you so much for this analogy! Did you think of it by yourself?
I haven't heard it explained with this exact analogy I used here before, but I guess that it's quite likely that someone else has already used very similar terms.
Wonderful, thank you :-)
Brilliant…
Nice Brother, glad I found You 🙂🙏💚
Welcome! I'm glad to have you here.
I have just discovered you. I am so glad I have. You have a unique voice which resonates with me. Thank you. Karen.
I'm glad to read this Karen. You are very welcome here.
@ 5:22 what would it require? Recognizing that the virtual reality cognitions (seeing hearing etc) are provided by and coming from our true being and position outside of the content--presence of source. Ride the sensations from the content to the outpost of source where all arises from and returns to and are constructed out of--our source point of presence.
Brilliant analogy. I have not heard it described like this before.
If I may make a practical suggestion: Get rid of the "NOW" clock - or at least take the battery out - it makes it obvious where you have edited the audio. It's a shame because what you have to say requires full concentration and I was distracted by the jerking minute hand.
Thanks for the input! I have noticed this as well and will most likely change this in the coming videos.
I definitely struggle with these pointers, your first video about the open space was one I was closest to accepting I'm going to watch it again and again. Lol blessings I'm looking forward to new experiences videos
The duality is only about the sense doors. If one invests in the sense doors as an I, a me, then that's the duality. That's all. Simple as that. I am not the body, I am not the mind, I am not what is seen, heard, smelled, tasted, fet or thought. Including memories. If I believe something is happening to me, instead of there is awareness of the experience, then there's the suffering. This us the Dhamma of the Buddha.
❤🙏
Thank you.
Thank you so very much for this insight ❤❤
I have been absolutely trying to "wake up " my body mind, including bluring my vision trying to trick my eyes into seeing the world of objects as all one field.. I see now that I need to be working on self inquiry in order to dis-identify with the body mind.
Do I have this right?
Sincerely,
Thank you ❤
I'm glad it was useful for you Lindsay :) My latest video goes more into this subject, do check it out!
@@Sam_Gow❤❤
Wow..very well articulated and clarified 👌. Thank you. I get it ( is it the true self that says "I get it" ?
Now who is asking this following question (if I understand above pointing, ideally it seals the deal , however a vague question pops up on how to sustain ? Who is asking this question (is it true self out of ignorance or false self trying to trick) ? I reckon you said false self can't even comprehend..apologies if I complicated it 😇
Another way I try to think of it also, is the real self doesn't communicate through words or object, but it speaks through silence and space. Do you think I'm on the right track?
Hi Marianne, I'm glad you found this exploration useful. In my view literally anything can point us to our True Nature. The Self shines in silence, as it does in noise and it shines in pain just as much as in pleasure. It is, however, correct to say that over time we become more sensitive to the silence between sounds and the space between objects of our peception. This gap between perceptions can indeed show us that "something" remains even in the absence of perceptions. Therefore silence can point us to our True Nature / Self, as you wrote.
You're always on the right track even when you 'think' that you're on the wrong path. There's no such thing as a 'wrong' path. Everything is perfectly in Supreme Being's loving heart. And you are that Supreme Being.
All you say is factual, only suggest to talk slower . Namaste fellow traveler 🙏
