Mystic Dance of Awakening
If all is one, then the unity of the universe is looking for you as much as you are looking for unity. Realizing your Oneness with everything then means all you have to do really is listen and let it come.
We live in an incredible field of connectedness where everything touches and intertwines with everything else. This is Nonduality: nothing is separate.
We need aunties if we want to be real human beings. You’re like, “What? Isn’t this supposed to be about nonduality?” Well yeah, aunties, all the women that make life happen for each of us are life itself. This is part of the fullness of being a human being. One of the reasons why we …
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.” …
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 …
What exactly is the ego? As far as nonduality is concerned, it doesn’t matter. Ego is simply a word, E-G-O. It’s been used to mean tons of different things. It’s been used so much that preisely defining it is impossible now. So what is it then? Why do we talk incessantly about it? It’s because …
If you’re honestly taking up a study of non-duality, which is inquiry into yourself, if you’re honestly searching in yourself and starting to wake up, you will notice lots of paradoxes. Your mind will start opening to the way that things don’t fit together always in a perfectly logical way. This is because the more …
Nonduality will set you free because if you use it as a tool for self-awareness, then you can stop worrying about many things. Hopefully, you’ll stop worrying about “What is ego? What is the self? Stop with the constant definitions of everything. Nonduality means you are not two, there’s only one of you. This can …
The vast connectedness of grass is something we never think about on the spiritual search. Grass… well, hey, grass is everywhere! Think of how many things eat grass. Its roots go down into the Earth. It brings up soil. It creates soil. The roots of grass cut up rocks and create soil so that everything can have life.
Life! You’ll have an intimate connection if you are taking care of a yard. Grass grows everywhere. The fancy grass that we have in yards has to be tended and watered and mowed, but it’ll grow up in cracks. It’ll… it’ll grow literally everywhere.
Grass is like our consciousness. It’s always there, alive, and growing.
Why do we search for ourselves when we’re the ones searching for ourself. That’s a crazy paradox! Yes.
