Language is a loop: I can only say that language doesn’t describe anything by using language to say that it doesn’t describe anything. That’s a perpetual loop. Language can give vague ideas about things and that’s all. Try to use it for truth and you’re caught in a loop. And yet… language works. What’s cool …

Retelling the Human Story: Our Ancestors
Here we are again, sitting around the fire and retelling the story of who we are as human beings. Let’s talk about our ancestors. First of all, let’s note that we are the ancestors for the future. We are creating this world for what comes next. This is a huge responsibility. Looking at that honestly …
Personal Experience
Taking nonduality out of your personal experience is the trick or the secret.
We are conditioned to believe that enlightenment, the non-dual state, is an inner experience. We feel that it resides in our head, that something will change in our head when we become enlightened. But that’s not the case. We know (from even the basic teachings about enlightenment) that it’s about being blended with all things.
Therefore, it actually comes from the outside as much as it comes from the inside… to the point that there is no outside and there is no inside. There is just you, alive and participating in the fullest way that you possibly can.
So forget about the mind. You can’t think yourself out of thinking because it’s your thinker that’s thinking! You can’t think yourself into not thinking.
That’s the trick of nonduality. You simply stop.
Nonduality Explained: A Word is Not True
If it’s a word, it’s not true. Nonduality is trying to get us in touch with the fact that our thoughts constantly cause us to be separate from reality, to be separate from ourselves. Our thoughts feel like they’re very, very loud inside our heads, and we get hypnotized by them; put to sleep by …
Thought is Only a Piece
Thought is only a piece. It’s only a piece of the vast wholeness that is me, of the vast wholeness that is you. It’s only a piece of the vast wholeness where we’re interconnected together, where we are participants in the full Earth, in the entire cosmos, in our societies, in our countries. We are …
Not Fixed On an Idea
So, we’re sitting around the fire here and retelling the human story from a perspective of nonduality. First of all, nonduality would mean we’re never fixed on an idea because we know that ideas only come from the mind. There’s a true inner being in all of us that needs no idea to know, and …
Nonduality Explained: Thinking is Good
Nonduality explained: thinking is good. I am trying to explain nonduality even though nonduality cannot be explained; it can only be experienced. But thinking is good. It has to be… thinking exists, right? God don’t create no junk. Because of the fact that we’re able to do it, and because of the fact that we …
Nonduality Explained: It’s Not What You Think
Nonduality explained: nothing is what you think because everything you think is limited. By thinking, I’m talking about when you’re putting words to it. For you and me, that’s English. So when you have these thoughts, this language going through your head, there is no way that it can be absolutely complete in its definition. …
