There Is No Person - Non Duality and the Nature of the Self - There is no person? On the surface this seems totally nonsensical. But what it is referring to is a very simple and even psychologically sound perspective. Who you THINK you are is never who you ACTUALLY are.
Don't let the non-duality thing throw you. That is only a way expressing the important idea that appears in both vedanta and zen. And that is that you cannot know yourself like one thing knowing another because you are not two. You must know yourself from the inside.

If I am the observer, I have spent my whole life watching a crazy person lol.
Amanda Ouellet Hahahahahaha Me too!
Welcome to the club
The same here...waiting for long to be wise,but never...one way only to run from the self..dont wait for here to get wiser...the only way to wisdom is for the self to vanish
A greeting from Morocco
@@souadage7932I was stuck forever, until yesterday, lol. Finally I accepted my mind is stuck with polarization forever and therefore I can never help myself, and of course the irony, at that point helped the self.
Absolutely correct...
consciousness is all that exists. There's nothing to improve... there's nothing to fight against.
The personality comes from lifetimes of human programming, but thoughts have no power. I can easily observe the old thought patterns but they no longer control my reality as a separate entity. Consciousness smiles and says silly thoughts let me get back to the present moment where I am is the truth.
Tee hee I ain’t no separate self, I AM The Self
Pure awareness without an object is the eternal darkness of the Tao. Subject object awareness and the sense of a self arrises out of that as a fleeting dream. An awakened dream is completely indescribable.
"You couldn't get away from awakening, even if you wanted to". Brilliant!
For some reason... during the last minutes, instead of me understanding, this video was observed :-)
The moment we find out there is no person there .. we wake up ...it's really cool god bless
Yes very, very cool
I just added a video to elaborate on this a bit and to respond to some questions I received ruclips.net/video/wqGnZF52Lrk/видео.html
No there are not four realities. There is only one. And you are that one. Anything you refer to that is different from you is the very unreality you are referring to. The only thing you know is you. Everything else is you experienced as other
I must add Shiva does it much better than I do.
Love the way awareness presents itself through "YOUR" unique and illusionary character 😄
Thanks again GP 🙏🙏
Anthony Salole Thank you Anthony!
Maaaan!!! what was that? Jesus... Thank you so much! I just found this channel, loved it! I couldn't tell how insightful this video is! Grateful!
Thank you Jonas.
Jonas Tone hey no problem my dude I got your back
You’re welcome
Have u had your own realization of reality yet? It can happen if you seek it
This is purely wonderful. Wonderfully expressed in love and awareness. Thank you, Dear Brother.
Thank you so much
Hands on heart, this has to be one of the most articulate, most clear explanations of this topic I have ever seen - and man have I've seen them...
Thank you Gasper!
Also check out Sarvapriyanda on RUclips. Great teacher of nonduality
I have a very analytical mind so this logical explanation, with no eastern jargon, resonates with me. Like you, I have been plugging away at GP's lower levels for YEARS but after this video I am floating that bit higher.
Totally Agree
@@dare-er7sw Yes. Love Swamiji! He and Rupert were my first in the introduction of Advaita Vedanta - just last summer 2021!
please make more videos like this one, where you use this whiteboard and show stuff like this, instead of those where you just sit around and talk :) this is so great! one of the best videos about enlightment and non-duality ive ever found !
Thank you for this great GREAT video !
Thanks you for sharing. The topic of how one should approach another with these teachings is very tricky. When everything has become obvious it is easy to forget the perspective of the person you want to help along the way.
Yes that is sooooooo true. And to move through life as awakened. Even if that awakening is not yet complete.
this video is gold! I am always happy seeing videos like this, I was struggling at this point for so long until i was forced to see that the I is not an object but an abstraction, nothing to be eliminated, but something to realize. Realize in a non verbal state of just being, of closing the gap between me and the process through realizing there never really was something separate haha. I just love to listen to videos like this, have a great day!
Luis Thank you Luis. I love to see this kind of enthusiasm. It means you really got it!
@@GPWalsh thanks for your response! Isn't it funny how "truth" resonates in oneself if someone sees it? I am currently studying philosophy and this is explicitly what is lacking in the western world. The world "behind", thought in a horizontal sense, the words, that is what "we" are. And the sad thing, you can't tell this someone directly who is in illusion, and yet it's a miraculous thing! Life is just an awesome paradox from one perspective and from another, completely clear
@@WisdomOfInsecurity So true. You can't tell it to someone who is is lost in a certain perspective. athe world os miraculous and truth is a felt experience. That is the wonder of it.
I have seen this 10 times and still get new insights everytime i watch it
When you get the idea that you never watched this video because "YOU" is not exist then you will get the idea and stop watching it😇🙏
ok, that is among the best videos on youtube. Should be mandatory on schools.
Instead in school it's mandatory to tell you that you are living on a spinning uncontrolled globe wobbling through nothing. Good luck proposing anything of value being teached by governMINDS
Yes it should be mandatory on schools but its not because of the sick people controlling this world who wants everyone to suffer and have control over people minds through brainwashing.
Am not I, am no-body, am no-mind, am no-self, am not my-thoughts, am not my-emotions, am not my mental-forms. Am the observer and the observed. True awakening is to break away from the illusory self which is Maya, and to arrive at the realization that am/ have always been / always will be Eternal consciousness/ awareness/ Divinity/ Light. 🙏 Metta
Many insecurities fall away but the most deep rooting seem to have an incredibly strong anchor , that have an amazing ability to take you away from your witness. Work in progress I guess. But realising the thoughts are just like watching a separate entity playing out is most joyful and powerful, having the ability to just let them pass by instead of becoming them, is a blessing. I guess I have to work on this.
Yes that is the challenge. Consistently turn attention away from the thoughts and towards the one witnessing them.
I've listened to such teachings for years now. I agree intellectually. There was a year or months or hours when I felt liberated by such ideas. But last year, in my 70s, I learned that I am autistic. I'm highly sensitive, also a birthright. Plus I have ADHD and CPTSD. Fine. I will deal with that and hold out the hope for an epiphany that overrides all that.
Then last week I had a meltdown that had me unable to function and took days to recover from. Yet nobody would know that to look at me. This appears to be a self. WTF? Today I feel better. Maybe tomorrow I will meditate. But this is who/what I am. I may have even less control over that as I age. I'm human. Divine. But the human experience overrides the other. I'll pray in case someone can hear. In case prayer works. And look for the ultimate deliverance.
The non dual insights open the door to that great healing and deliverance. But when it opens, all sorts of deep wounds and traumas start coming to the surface. To cultivate loving awareness towards all of it, and thus to yourself, to me is the path.
At least that is the path I am walking. Finding that ultimate deliverance in the midst of my human frailty.
All my love to you Melissa
Your best video I've seen yet, sir! Wonderfully clear teaching. Thank you.
Why does consciousness keep creating youtube videos about itself?
why not ? :)
Louie Atkins-Turkish bcoz I want to see myself in all the myriad forms and lmao
Why does it keep replying?
GP Walsh why ? Why not ?
The same reason why we can't go to sleep because that book is so damn good
New Sub here! This is one of the best ways I've heard the "person" broken down!
very distinct and clear, easy to understand!
thanks so much
clear and well spoken. Can you see it? Can you feel it working? How is it in affect within you?
"We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla"
The pushing and the playing are all happening on the screen of the mind. They are no more than dreams.
Wow...that makes things a whole lot easier to understand and hopefully realize. Thank-you.
The way you explained...makes it more easer to understand...
Sorry with my english.
He's right. There's so many teachers who just sit there and go "There is no person". Like telling a blind person "It's orange".
Good analogy Marius. While that statement is true, nobody grasps that by just hearing it repeated. The teacher's job is to build the bridge between where the seeker is and where they want to get to.
When parvati understands this she will become adi para shakti ...more powerful then she can imagine ...pure consciousness awakening
And she is you! Thank you Ali
Thank you for building these bridges of further underrstanding!
“The I cannot arise without you being there first.” My brain exploded at that point.
Watching a video from my side is always nonduality teachings ....there is no duality in my videos ... god bless ...
Wonderful. There is actually no duality or non-duality. There is only what is.
The ego can be defined as the mental patterns related to "the me". So the ego is real, yet it's interconnected within the wholeness of the universe. Consciousness is a state of being aware, a state that is off in dreamless sleep and on when dreaming and in the waking state. "The observer is the observed." J. Krishnamurti said, and that's accurate. The world of stuff and the observer (consciousness) are one.
The meaning of nonduality is there is no more identity .. ultimate reality .. adi para shakti . . La illah ha illallah ... Shiva shakti means this ... In tantra or prayer or meditation is this ... God bless
God bless you!
What a beautiful explanation of non-duality, first time I was actually able to understand it, thank you so much.
You are very welcome Sue.
Pure Love was felt while hearing this...thank you, thank you, thank you
This is all I wanted to know. I have been practicing Ramana Maharishi Self Inquiry for a long time. The 'I' simply dissolved and it was empty. Awakening hasn't happened yet, but thanks for the video. I am hopeful
Notice now the one who is noticing that awakening has or has not happened. The Awakened One is beyond even that and you are that!
@@GPWalsh Thank you :)
@@michealkamarajan59 You are welcome. Put aside even the desire for enlightenment and just be.
@@GPWalsh Sure. Thanks again Mr. Walsh. I appreciate you taking the time to respond
Awesome. Such clarity. Thank you
Thank you very much!
The ultimate reality of nonduality is there is no person in movies or music or RUclips etc... it's really a great wisdom .. even if a person might look similar in the truth it's not the person at all they were never the person ... that's my perception god bless so in truth there is no one there .. that's nonduality awakening ... so that's the ultimate truth your not the person ...your all pure conciousness... that's the great awakening ...
Correct. There never was a person except as a thought
I could have seen this video on and on for years without getting it. I am getting it now because I am now ready to get it. That's the frustrating thing about it. It cannot be transmitted only intellectually, there is no real shortcut but walking the path and experiencing it, until you see it
When parvati enters shiva ...and become one this is what shiva teaches parvati
When all the nine forms of adi para shakti combine.. it becomes formless non physical energy same as shiva nonduality wisdom ... Shiva shakti meaning is this .... Pure consciousness.. when parvati meets shiva he teaches her this
I wanted this and that, when I didn’t know “THAT”. and now, it’s just “THAT”. and this and that is just chit chat and never even a fact. so just “THAT” where I’m at. i AM THAT. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love you my brother.
Shawn Latif Love to you my brother
Thinking there is a process is like thinking our frame of reference is actually describing reality as it is. We can never truly describe reality as it is. We have a limited interface.
Right. Reality cannot be described. that is, you cannot know or describe yourself. But everything reveals you to you. Even the "process" disappears.
This is absolutely beautiful for matured minds
Indigo-healer kelvinSolomon Thank you so much. Yours is clearly such a mind
as I watch this video
what arises in me
is how fucking unhappy I am!
I truly loathe my life.
loathe it.
despise it.
I hate it.
I WISH TO DIE.
TRULY I WISH FOR NOTHING ELSE.
I've lived pretty much my entire life
with debilitating crippling paralyzing:
suicidal depression.
the only moments of happiness in my life
come to me in fleeting windows of relief,
that never ever last long enough...
my life is agony.
I am full of:
- loneliness
- rage
- regret
- remorse
- hopelessness
- guilt
- terror
- anxiety
- aloneness
- grief
- suffering
- pain
- stress
- powerlessness
- despair
- anguish
MY SOUL IS TORTURED AND RAPED.
It was refreshing to hear someone explain this without all the humble jumble Chrystal dolphin new age paraphanalia .
Hahahaha no rainbows and unicorns here!
To understand this method think of movies and music etc and learning that in the end there is no person ... So there is no me and there is no you ... So what is left ... nothingness.... This was the main teaching from shiva to Parvati that there is no person ... 112 ways to explain this method was the example ... And today all meditations are focused on this method ... There is no me and there is no you ... That's nonduality
The first Non-duality video that actually makes sense
Thanks Casey
@@GPWalsh Thank you!
Non-duality isn’t complex or difficult. It is just such a complete 180 from the way we normally think that it seems obscure or arcane. It’s actually very simple and direct
Quote :Drishti Shristi Vata (vada) means the world exists only if you perceive it ,so if a deaf blind body walked in front of a bus ,
it wouldn't get squished? please explain...
The bus, the deaf, blind body, the squish are all you. You can't put new wine into old wineskins.
@@GPWalsh Thats relative to the actual state of consciousness then ,not a blind believed state of consciousness that some have, based on someone else's ideas, what you want to be true may not be true at all to your level of consciousness, we have to be very careful, as you say, you cant put new wine into old wine skins, you may believe it will work but it wont.
I understand the person, the ego is just an idea, I have no problem with that BUT the human life form surely will still suffer pain because of the nervous system, its the law of nature, example : did Jesus perceive the severe pain as being just one of those things, a fleeting dream when being crucified and laugh it off as some have suggested or was he in agony ? was the pain just an idea to his level of consciousness, was his nervous system turned off somehow ?
Great video. Self help in psychological terms, especially for people who are very psychologically damaged / traumatized should not be bypassed for " awakening " . Often it is necessary to deconstruct ones story to become aware of how the dysfunction / dysregulation of nervous system came about. If the trauma is repressed it may be necessary to experience / live the dysfunction fully before the concept of non duality can be approached.
Old Mate yes, that is absolutely true. That's why I created Inner Reconciliation and use several other techniques to bring some stability and calm to the nervous system. The non-dual inquiry is not just intellectual, it covers also the emotions and behaviors. Often times a preparation of the whole system is necessary before the deepest inquiry can happen.
I love watching the multiplicity of my forms in the dance of the universe.
Me too!
Seems the most efficient way to practice 'Non-duality' is to simply be non self competitive (not good enough, trying/seeking to fufill self expectations to meet the expectations of others, criticizing, blaming, coulda, woulda, shoulda, wondering why/if,.). To be self aware/accepting, and therefore accepting of all other lifes things/beings. to see the duality of life as bad/good, fear/courage, resistance/acceptance, comp/coop ,, all in balance. I am both. In the middle witout taking sides. Embracing both as pure energy to pro-actively respond cooperatively. Without blaming anything/one for a n y t h i n g ! Life is duality =s left -, right + and the singularity (binding energy of duality of which is the connection through/to the all one source field of consciousness (Yin/Yang)). To see alignment with all life guiding us in all that we are doing as meant to be done, at the time and manner meant. Trying to convince people they re not real, form doesn t exist, time doesn t exist etc, is only subconsciously negating. Timeless/time is. vibration (Om) is time, is distance, is expansion.
I get all of this from the teaching of jusus
Beautiful video! Thank you so much for your wisdom. I was curious, based on this I would say everything is just happening... There is no free will. We are just the observer. Or do you think we as consciousness can still 'choose' in a way what the character in the dream/illusion experiences?
Everything is just happening, including our choices. Ultimately we are the witness of what appears to be decisions and choosing. But just remember, that in everyday life it does appear as if we are making the choices. And that is just fine. We act as if we are choosing but know in our hearts that it is just happening.
@@GPWalsh Thank you
OK so I have a problem with this "oh the temper got lost, it wasn't me" part. I can see that many people could perhaps behave badly and effect others negatively then just say "oh its not me".
That is only a first step. Then the need is to examine what it is that lost its temper? What was the trigger that made that happen? This is not an excusing of bad or destructive behavior. This is a deep inquiry as to its cause. A cause understood allows for freedom from a mindless triggered response and the capacity to act consciously and fully. But we do have to see that it is a reactive pattern and not a character flaw.
Beautiful When my students get to the point where the (I) comes in. I have them separate from the identity. To perceive from the outside as the perceiver. Therefore they don't become identified with the (I). So there able to know there's no (I) it's only a game, and it's not that serious. Play the game of life and not identifying with the (I) as the only character you can play. The Buddha says the middle way is the path to enlightenment. Keep up the good work with all love and light David Wayne 1111
Thank you David. Yes even the one is a subtle concept. It is emptiness that you find right in the middle. Lovely to meet you
Blown away. Thankfulness is here 😊
Thank you!
I laugh at why we keep watching videos! It’s hysterical! We are so in love with knowing we know!
We'll keep watching until we don't need them anymore. Teachers will keep teaching until they are no longer needed any more. I look forward to that day.
@@GPWalsh I agree. I have several teachers that have helped me thanks to RUclips. I started out with Mooji. then Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira. Now I am drawn to down the Earth, Anna Brown. Each teacher has a different pointing for sure. But just in this video halfway through, I realized I am missing a sunset! And my energies are flowing so good from this beautiful weather that in a way, I was “coming down” just to watch it! Always hoping I will find something I don’t know. Silly intellect! And he’s in the way of what he’s drawing on the board! Even though I know he knows! I’m sorry,?but It’s just funny!!
@@billielafollette7013 "Empty, the wind in the pines responds outwardly without getting confused." - Hongzhi Zhengjue
@@GPWalsh I realize I am talking to the “he”!drawing on the board. I hope your person didn’t get offended! He he I appreciate your intentions in your video. Yours just so happened to show me the cosmic humor in our seeking. Much love and blessings to you!
Hi GP Walsh, I need your advice. I've been watching too many non duality videos and it's really messing with my mind and making me behave in self destructive ways and it's confusing the hell out of me. I feel like my mind is all over the place and is really unstable. And it's making me have bad beliefs like "if I don't exist as a person and there's nothing I can do to get out of this illusion then what's the point of doing anything", "I have zero control and everything I do is happening on its own", "everything I know is just concepts and no one really knows anything"
And I keep obsessing about non duality and just constantly watching my thoughts and confusing myself more. What should I do?
Drop all of you. non-dual knowledge. It is only creating suffering. If it isn't relieving suffering it isn't the real thing. Instead put your attention on your body. Just feel the presence of your body. It is a simple anchor point. Notice that you don't need any thoughts or concepts or words to experience feeling. So let your attention go there. You will find that the body is actually quite quiet and doesn't need the mind.
There is no need to figure this all out. There is an element of grace. Oftentimes on this path people can feel isolated and having to do it all on their own. You don't have to figure anything out. As Rumi put it "The power that brought me here must bring me home." Just feel your body and forget about all these non-dual ideas. It will all come in time!
Please keep me posted. I want to see you free of suffering.
@@GPWalsh thank you so much. Your reply and you wanting to see me free of suffering already makes me feel better. I appreciate you ❤️
@@Jerry_064 It is important to note that Siddhartha (who became Buddha) didn't go seeking enlightenment or non dual understanding. He went seeking the solution to suffering. What he found is what we call enlightenment. It is always about eliminating suffering.
Practice on nonduality is to stop identified with dualities. .. when parvati awakens she then learns that's shiva is also nothing ...
Yes absolutely. You, Parvati, Shiva all the same
Although awakening is uncaused it is happening by realising that we are not the story. That realisation may have different degrees of clarity. The process is therefore an increase in clarity about what we are not. It is not related to what we are.
That is quite accurate. Although I would say that what we are is well known, just not as an object and so not as some intellectual knowledge. All knowing becomes direct and intimate.
To see the story, is to not be and to be. Both! Acceptance of life as life. We are not the story, and we are! we are timless and time! A balance of both in harmony, the labels fall away and pure dynamic 'Good' duality remains (Yin/Yang).
Awakening is experiential, expansion, growth, evolution ,. A 'leveling up' so to say. Each wave is a level of awakening, awareness, attunement, spirituality, enlightenment,. Not something one does, only something to see having occurred, happening and 'will' happen. Hm?
Afterall, we 'see' it after it has happened, and then try to claim it as a personal accomplishment ('When did you decide to have your awakening?' 'I did nt. It just happened.' E x a c t l y ).
Duality Vs. Non Duality - the Debate of Current Spiritual Seekers
If you are reading this, take this into consideration! Through your observation, if you see a flaw in my understanding the please do point it out, I would appreciate hearing your own point of view! Thanks in advance.
I cannot grasp why still, so many of us are still debating these two inherently non-dual yet still dualistic questions. This debate is fully paradoxical in its nature, they are opposite yet they are without a doubt connected and point in the same direction. How has no one realised this yet? Well, to put it simply, if you see truth in non-duality you are therefore using your ego. If non duality at its core is about abolishing the ego and experiencing that which connects all without egoistic bounds, then why even choose to be a part of this debate in the first place when it is ego driven? On the other hand, if you see truth in duality, you probably celebrate the ego and its key role in the self, human individuality and the variation in the universe/creation itself but you do not realise that it is this individuality which ultimately connects us all.
Yes there are opposites to everything in nature but everything is inherently connected! Art can be defined as anything, whether directly related or not, it is still art. God/higher consciousness could be a separate entity but if all life and matter is seen as a manifestation of it, then still, everything is connected, all still has the same deep connection at a core level.
Both of these are one in the same, existing within the same realm but are still opposite realities. My only answer to this is that there is no one or the other, it just is what it is.
The time I experienced my higher self/god/universal consciousness, all aspects of my physical being were stripped away, the I which once was, was completely shattered and non existent. Time did not exist alongside this. There was only my true higher self/inner being and everything else around me. I was not it yet I saw myself in it and it within myself, an experience I cannot fathom in words. I was pure love and acceptance for all things and felt the love within all things but I still realised the difference and variance in all existence. I was only personality, a totally unique manifestation of something greater than me and I was different from it, yet I was experiencing it at the same time. At no point did I ever consider 'duality vs non-duality?' as even being possible. I just was, the thought of who I was did not ever occur to me as I was purely experiencing a unique expression (like art) and that was just, me. The same went for everything in existence.
In some respects, though not relevant to everything, is by even questioning or breaking down what is instead of simply observing, is what prevents that which is from simply being. Think about that.
This experience is still incomprehensible to me right now as I am not experiencing it, I can only draw from my reference to it as an observation in order to try and paint a picture for you. We do not have the ability to fully comprehend anything which is greater than us at this moment in time, after all we are still here confined as a human being. It is important to remember this. We need to achieve a level of respect, acceptance and love for all differences in existence and be able to see the yin and yang in all views and angles of perception by bringing them together to form one uniform understanding. Then there would be no need to have such trivial debates such as this.
- Bliss.
AwakeMode very interesting experience
the fact that we can debate or ask questions or make considerations in the first place should immediatly raise a red flag. seriously think about it. we ask who am i. what is truth. but who cares what the question is or the answer the fact that it can be asked or debated raises some very profound existential inconsistencies. we ask/debate/consider from a state of absense not presence
Beautiful and so clear 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much Steller
Wow, incredible! Thank you! “I’ve” done a good job of explaining this to myself using a rationality that can justify the cravings of the conditioned, so that I can lay doubt to the side and fully step into the experiential
Doubt is also the conditioning. No need to dispose of it, just see it for what it is. You are the perceiver not the perceived and that perceiver is not a form or an object. It is the formless Self
GP Walsh So cool of you to reply! Thanks for that, and I’m going to try to maintain that perspective. I’m listening to your talk on the after death state, and am fascinated cos I’ve been obsessed with the dream domain and it’s implications for waking reality for a long time. I’m going to look to see if you have any talks I’m dreaming after this.
you explain the process so clearly...thank you...
Thank you Charmaine. I am so glad it is clear for you
Beautifully put. Thank you for sharing, brother.
Thank you very much Alex
How do you know if in duality that it is an oscillation where it goes between singularity and duality
Non-duality and duality are just words used to point to something that is beyond words. It is beyond all categories, all opposites, all definitions. It both exists and does not exist. It is both dual and non-dual. Like music and the song the dual and not dual are simply different faces of the same transcendent coin.
Sounds like it is a process. You stated when you help this people out, isn't that a process, getting them from one level to the next which you showed on the board there?
Most everything has to be reduced to a process in the beginning. Just don't get caught in it. Ultimately there is no process to be what you already are. But this needs to be realized and that can take time and process. But only as much is needed and no more! Thank you for questioning that!
Why is “I” an abstraction, and not a totality of all the smaller parts? By changing the “I”, it changes the neural network, which is the sense of “I”. What are you awakening or enlightening if not the “I”.
What is the awakening or enlightening? What is the heart, if not just as you say the rest of the body is, namely cells/atoms?
What IS consciousness? You seem to imply it is something other than both self and the physical world.
Plenty of things exist where one person perceives it or not. Can’t others perceive it, thus making it exist whether you are there to perceive it?
A word that represents the totality of all the parts is the definition of the word abstraction. Consciousness is yourself, that which is reading these words, the point of cognition.
I was one of them dreaming and feeling victimised and I think I am growing from that
What's your opinion about spirits, mediums, and afterlife? There is a lot of evidence for there being able to communicate with humans after they apparently die.
Spirits, mediums, afterlife, 5D, channeling are all concepts. When some of the boundaries of our minds falls away we attribute experiences, that are out of the realm of our normal, to entities or beings of a different order. You are always experiencing the Self but interpreting from the standpoint of a person.
Nicely put, Thanks 🙏🏼
All is one mind living through different forms and experiencing itself.. we lost lost ourselfs to gain it all . And to gain it all we lose ourselves... wow
It is a wow isn't it!
The illusion was identity... In the end there is no person wisdom
Excellent video, thanks for creating and posting it, much appreciated : )
This is what shiva teaches parvati about ulitmate reality that there no more I in the stories ...when parvati awakens she becomes shiva shakti nonduality adi para shakti universal
Yes absolutely. You become Shiva, Shakti, Brahman, Buddha and all the gods and goddesses of all time.
is there an eft tapping for this concept" there is no person"
No I’ve never done EFT on it. EFT is always an assist to the nervous system to let go of the habitual patterns that make up the sense of a person. Remember, the person isn’t a reality. It is a mental projection on the sum total of the functioning of the individual nervous system. So anytime you alter that function, improve it, make it more functional, you have dismantled some of the sense of the person.
Here is a list of concepts that are just abstract concepts and do not have any real inherit existence : Creation , destruction , alive , dead , suicide , murder , birth , death , intelligence , body , living beings , non-living beings , internal ,external , boundary .
Yes, all just projected on what is really here which is yourself
Thank you so much!!!, I had an experience of the empitiness , weel don´t now how to call it, bobody was there, I had sensations in my body, my hear and barin at that point, I has so happy. but it didn´t last as suche it faded away...
Don''t go looking for it. That will keep you on a treadmill for years. The happiness seemed to fade away simply because the old conditioning reasserted itself.
Instead just follow the higher reasoning that dismantles the person. Then you find that the happiness has always been here. You don't find it. You realize it and recognize it as your very self.
You are very welcome.
Nonduality means nothing defines you when understanding about meditation...that's what shiva mean trying to be nothing ...
Beautifully explained, appreciated. Thank you
I have no idea or comment to leave on anything. Almost there ✌
We agree with " I " is a thought. but Isn't this organism a person? It's just a dialog within us to get more clarity, can we take it as selfishness is duality and selflessness is oneness.
No not really. One has to explore what the self is. The organism does not make up a person. It takes a sense of self to bestow that on it. It is just a function. It is no more sentient than a car or your shoes. It takes sentience to endow it with a self, which is only a thought.
Very good explanation 🙏😄😀🌹
Thank you very much
The heroes journey can give you the mental frame work to step out of self.
The hero's journey is a metaphorical description of the process.
@@GPWalsh I have really enjoyed this video for the lack of a better way of expressing it I see past the "I" and when I do it is like everything just melts away and it is complete freedom, lightness, comfort, peace of mind and the actual answer to everything and it is all there is. Only God exists.
Namaskar
@@allenmorgan4309 And you are that
I love the paradox of explaining the non process by the stages and components of it, as a process. And the non story, as a story. The mind is relieved that there is still stuff to understand, to file to compare to justify to relate... I realize it sounds, maybe, like I am being sarcastic or critical....but that is not my intention. I really do love it. It's all so freaking weird how this all works/doesn't work, is/isn't.
Thank you Garth. That says it perfectly!
I didn't take it as sarcasm. It is a beautiful paradox. Process and no process. This is the true emptiness. It exists and does not exist. It is so self evident when you finally see it.
Awesome lecture! Thank you!
DaydreamsInMusic You are welcome and thank you
Good stuff GPW. Thank you again
“Having found no self that is not other,
The seeker must find that there is no other that is not self,
So that in the absence of both other and self,
There may be known the perfect peace of
The presence of absolute absence.

Beautiful quote - thank you
Brilliant Explanation ... thank you
Beautiful, thank you 💚
Love's Beginning You are so welcome
We are the awareness witnessing our conditioned behaviour? Our behaviour can't always be conditioned? Or..
No the behavior itself is innocent. It is what is driving it that determines whether it is conditioning or not. As conditioning is transcended then behavior more and more reflects the real you. The human being is liberated and becomes a Buddha
Explaining non duality by example of duality
You have to of course.
If I am the observer, where am I located? Am I in my body? Like I’m my head (the pineal gland? I’ve heard people talk about that.)
It’s all so confusing, but one thing I have always been vaguely aware of is that all is not as it seems.
Also, is there a God? Is God a part of Vedanta? Do I need a Guru? Is RUclips my Guru?
For the most part people do need a teacher. We need some guidance otherwise there is a tendency to take non-dual teaching and interpret it from our existing conceptual framework. It is radically different from that.
If by God you mean a personal being that created a universe separate from Itself then no there isn't. If you mean God as the all pervasive, formless intelligence that is immanent in and one with the universe then yes there is.
Vedanta is simply a tool for self-inquiry to bring our assumptions under the microscope of scrutiny and liberate us from the ignorance and misunderstanding that is causing so much suffering.
I like the term "AWARNESS" instead of "Awaking" it sound like "becoming"..... "ALL IS ONE"
Yes they have different connotations to different groups of people. I actually like the word "Aware-ing" but it doesn't actually exist as a word. Still to see things in terms of the functioning rather than as a "thing" is most helpful.
Delusion does not exist. People create their own realities and delusion is simply one that does not agree with the greater human creational "experience".
The essential delusion is not simply a differing of opinion on convention. It is the notion that the image in my mind is myself. That is the universal, existential delusion. That is what Buddha was referring to when he used the term.
So.. I am a thought? ... just kidding ! Great content. Keep it up G
Hahahaha, nope you are the only thing that isn't
Welcome aboard old friend. Aloha.
Aloha dear friend. So glad I found you again
@@GPWalsh I've been around. Still walking, talking, farming and playing guitar. Cultivation of fungus has become my latest venture. Lots of healthful properties discovered in mushrooms these days. Saw Jimmy Haggenjoes for a few months a while back. We have his drums in my studio for fun.
when I woke up to the mess I realized it was a pile of gold ... the mess is my enlightenment ..
Ugly and beautiful. Both. Beautiful is as beautiful sees. A day is as beautiful as one,- Sees the day. Carpe Diem. Or?
these videos are so helpful thank you so much for your works x
The I is like the dream ... when the I is not there we wake up ... god bless
What is seeing the movement of the body ?
You are, a.k.a. consciousness
Excellent! Thank you.
You're welcome
