Using words of opposites is a good way to describe the world. The problem is that we have been taught to live in a projection of our mind, and this causes a lot of confusion. Nonduality is telling us that you are not this projection. Most specifically, you are not that voice that constantly goes …

Retelling Buddha
Who are we… humans? Retelling our foundational story can change our perspective of who we are. So, I want to retell the story of Enlightenment. More than likely, you’ve heard of the story of Buddha. He was around 800 years BC. The basic story we hear is that he was a prince who ran away …
Nonduality Explained: Intelligence
Nonduality Explained Intelligence: it’s not your thoughts, it’s not the amount of information you know. There is something deeper that actually grows with wisdom as we live awake lives. That indescribable ‘something’ is intelligence. That is you, actually. You are the one who picks together all the details that come through your thinking mind, and …

Enlightenment is not far away in the future. This is one of the biggest misconceptions that people have in searching for nonduality. Searching for the enlightened state, we get the feeling that this is something that’s going to happen to us at some point in the future. When actually, it’s the exact opposite. We just stop doing the things that are causing us to be unenlightened, and Enlightenment is always there. The natural state is always there. You are always there. So, we don’t have to search and go on a path to get there.
The path is always leading away from yourself. The search is always searching away from yourself. The actual being is there already.

Seeing Ourselves in a New Way
Seeing ourselves in a new way is the easiest way to open ourselves up to the true self, the living being who is down underneath your false concepts. Enlightenment is everyone’s birthright. If enlightenment is everyone’s birthright, then that means that human beings naturally live in this space. It only makes sense that throughout most …
It Only Makes Sense
It only makes sense that the entire history we have been taught is skewed, even outright wrong. We’re taught that civilization is what defines human beings. Archaeologists are out there digging around and finding out where civilization started, who started putting rocks on top of each other first. We like to find ancient scrolls… thinking …
Honoring Indigenous Knowledge
I’d like to point you to a really good video on honoring indigenous knowledge. It is a talk, a conversation between Connor Ryan and Tiokasin Ghost Horse. I’ll have a link to it down in my video and in the description. There’s also a link on my website, mprimer.com. They do a lot of talking …
