Me! Me! Me!
Me, Me, Me That’s the world we live in right now, right? I mean, we could even call it the cult of “me.” From the day we’re born, we’re taught to be self-concerned. Look out for number one, you know, survival of the fittest. We’re taught, “my toys, my thoughts, my feelings, me, me, me.” …
Nonduality and A.I.
Nonduality and AI Artificial intelligence, right? First of all, artificial intelligence is not intelligence.

You can take great steps in your non-duality practices by seeing your mind as a friend. It’s there, right? It’s not going to go away. It brings you tons of useful information all the time. It can be a good friend. It’s also full of a lot of BS, right? You can tell the difference if you look, because it’s your friend. It’s your good friend.
The mind is a friend, and like a friend, you know that your friend is not you. Your mind is not you. You are you. You are the one that is the friend of the friend.
