Nonduality is possible. It’s really funny to look at the irony of that statement because we’re taught that it’s almost impossible to achieve this non-dual state, and yet we know absolutely that it’s possible.
If it wasn’t possible, there wouldn’t be a single person who’d ever done this. We’re also taught, “There’s something really special about Buddha. He was able to do it. He had to starve himself in the forest and blah blah blah.” We are told that it takes lifetimes and lifetimes and lifetimes to achieve enlightenment. But Buddha was 23 years old when he woke up!
It was possible for him, and there were tons and tons and tons of awakened people before him.
We learn from our native wisdom teachers that the nondual state is the natural state of human beings. So, we have 80,000 years, 100,000 years, 200,000 years of human beings walking around on the planet, everyone in the nondual state.
It only makes sense that this is our reality.
Something happened. We’ve fallen out of this nondual state, accidentally, just over these past few brief centuries. It’s very possible and easy to get out of it.
You’re searching through YouTube and looking for videos on nonduality, and somehow you stumbled across mine. There are lots of nondual teachers on YouTube. Most of them are really good. Most of them are actually living in the nondual state, and they’re everything from young women to old guys, people who’ve been teaching their whole lives. They have tons of different ways to talk about nonduality. But if they could do it, you could do it.
You can even go through YouTube and listen to everybody’s little individual stories of how they happened to stumble onto their own true nature. So, it’s possible.
Nonduality, living in the nondual state, falling into the nondual state, is totally possible. We need to know that as we’re doing our nondual practices and studies. It’s not impossible. It’s totally, totally possible.
