Nonduality is dynamic. One of the consequences of the heavy conditionings that we’re all subjected to our whole lives is that it dampens our spirit; it holds us down because then we’re so much more easily controlled. Awakening out of that reveals a dynamic being who is fully involved in life with each other. This …

Nonduality is Responsible
Nonduality is responsible. We don’t want to think about things like that, do we? We want nonduality to give us freedom from all bounds, right? But what is your actual normal, authentic self like? The true, normal, unconditioned person is responsible because we’re part of life. You don’t get out of duality by becoming separate …
Nonduality is Relaxing
Nonduality is relaxing, and this is the most useful way to think about it. You can’t force yourself to relax, right? If you sit there thinking, “I’ve got 10 minutes to relax,” you’re going to be all tense through the whole 10 minutes. Relaxation comes over us naturally when tension is gone, so it’s more …

Embracing the Nondual State
Embracing the nondual state should make you laugh because when we look at ourselves honestly, we’re funny human beings. We do crazy things, right? We can come up with concepts to divide ourselves from life. The more we argue about self, the sillier and crazier we are. Nonduality says, “Not two; you are not two.” …
Brains Processing Reality
Our brains process reality using the same mechanism it uses to create dreams. Stop and feel that in yourself for a minute. You know what it’s like to be in a dream; you’re lost in the dream, and then you wake up and you’re like, “Whoa, that was weird.” The same mechanism that is processing …
