OMG I love this!!! Thank you! Thank you!!! I've discovered the same thing and felt so alone and confused after following this particular teacher into a blank slate nihilistic depression! Just did a video on being stuck in Non-duality for 7 years myself! So grateful to find you!
Traditional "non-duality" is much more cult like, according to your own definition, than radical non duality (Tony parsons or Jim Newman, I know you're criticizing one or the other). They actually dont say you have a problem, they say there is no problem, ever, they don't give solutions, they don't suggest there's a happiness to be found or even a need for "eternal happiness" (only traditional non duality teaches you how to get happiness for ever), they don't suggest there's even a person, so how could they try to give the person something? You can actually attend Jim Newman's meetings without paying so he definitely doesn't ask you for your money, Jim and Tony don't expect anything out of you (while cult leaders have many expectations and again, traditional non dualism gives you practices that you ought to do harder and harder to find enlightenment so it's more akin to cult mentality than radical non dualism). Oh, and you talk about specialness and say Tony and Jim somehow say you're special for knowing "Thaaa seeecret" but they say exactly the opposite, and you'd know that if you actually listened to their talks and didn't put words into their mouths. Radical non duality is by many aspects the opposite of cult (especially compared to religion and spirituality)
No You Don’t know who is being referred to here. Perhaps she did listen to them and heard exactly what you did and the problem is with some “Other” ... Assumption is the mother of all F**K up’s!
I have followed J Krishnamurti's teachings for quite some time. A lot of what is mentioned here matches with the teachings - going beyond the observer i.e duality, creating a transformation in mind, etc. Are those teachings also what you are referring to?
Duality is actually non-duality as well. They're not two things. But yes I agree what you say. Particularly this non-thinking or presentmomentism is very weird to me. Thoughts have the same exact isness or non-duality in them just like everything else. No need to stop thinking. (But yes, when you see thoughts as the isness of what is, they tend to stop or atleast the non-aligned ones) But I wouldn't communicate of what is in terms of thinking or not thinking. Just creates disturbance which is completely unnecessary. To be present is at best to notice that youre already. If you're thinking of the past it happens now, if you think about the future it happens now. Bad communication by Eckhart Tolle in my opinion.
emily wilkins that’s my guess! Thanks for your video It’s very much where I’m at also. I wonder if there really is more to understand or uncover than this...
she probably talked about Tony Parsons and his disciples at YT, it's a "spiritual virus" specially in UK, but she can address it, it;'s her opinion, no gossips....
so who is this person? You have to name him/her or you are like someone who says: " You know, there is a booby trap somewhere in your backyard." and then doesn't say exactly where it's at!

Absolutely the relationships! If you are aware and you see non duality you can't unsee it. Others around you might not get where you are coming from.

So glad I found your channel.
I know exactly to whom you are referring..and, I completely agree with you regarding this person. I just laugh at him and enjoy his folly.

These people can know something but still be in their heads somehow. Newman and Parsons come to mind with their off putting smugness.
You are correct great perspectives and I Know you are talking about Mooji.
Ross Mason Am I? I name no names! Thank you for watching :)

@@RosscoRuns I doubt it there's more to understand, just plain old desire for power, same old stuff as ever. Have a great day :)
You don't sound very happy......
To me it sound like she’s talking about Tony Parsons.
but.. even “those” are not “others”. 🎪
I would like to see Emily , having a discussion with Rupert spira!
lol, impossible to have a discussion with a non-existent entity!
duality and oneness co-exist together in perpetual balance, they only become a problem to the mind if you mix them.

A lot of the gurus are men as well. Women can have a different view.

It's better than no warning at all. And it's your backyard...
@@OffGridMind Right. And I'm the booby.

@@OffGridMind well, it's a mystery wrapped in a mystery....thank you for presenting your take on the matter.
@@OffGridMind Interesting okay and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Let's be clear. Tony Parsons and his friends are simply describing everyday life. Some disagree with their descriptions. That's perfect!
Let's end all this talking. Go to headless.org and be through with it!
You don't sound very happy.........
