Integrating with Native Teachings

Nonduality Intersects with Native Wisdom

Welcome to my course on how Nonduality and enlightenment teachings intersect with Native Wisdom. On the next few pages you’ll find the series as Youtube videos with edited transcriptions. Please do the course in order as each story builds upon the one before to paint a full picture of how we are native to this world and that the awakened state is our natural state.

This entire course is available in book form on Amazon. Both in Kindle form, and paperback. It’s an easy read that goes through all the stories in order… each one building on the next.

Nonduality and Native Wisdom

Nonduality and Native spirituality—how do they relate? How are they similar? At first blush, it may seem like they are very different. Non-duality is about attaining the non-dual state. This means attaining a state where you know through your own experience that everything’s connected—that there is a dynamic oneness between everything, that there’s not two. …

Truth Moment

Truth moment. The only thing we really hear about Enlightenment is from all the famous guys. What if there is a deep hidden reality of normal people. -The Natural State- If we actually listen to what enlightened Masters have told us throughout the years they say that Enlightenment is the natural state of the human …

It’s hard to talk about something new

It’s hard to talk about something that’s truly new. As we explored in our last video it’s because we are limited by language itself. If it’s truly new our language has no words for it. In my next series of videos, I’m going to be exploring how Nonduality and Native wisdom fit together. This hasn’t …

Our Natural State

Native teachings and non duality talk about the same reality of being a human. Because this is our natural state. -What if enlightenment was everywhere?- We’ve been told this story that Enlightenment very rare and really really difficult to attain. What if that story isn’t true? What if it’s really everywhere and easy to find?

The End of Gurus

If what I have to say about the intersection between native spirituality and nonduality starts to make sense to people, and starts to be a basic understanding of our paradigm, it’s going to be the end of gurus. That’ll be interesting, right? None of us like gurus anyway. Let’s get rid of the idea that …

Mind is the Primary Suspect

What nonduality tells us is that everything we’ve been taught is suspect. It should be examined. Everything that’s in our mind should be examined and suspected as being wrong and untrue. Through deep enough inspection we can step back from the whole thing and be free of it. What Native Traditions tell us is that …

The Story of a Lightbulb Moment

Actually, this is going to be the story of two light bulb moments because the two of them fit together to create a new paradigm that I can talk about in Nonduality teachings. The first one, many years ago, was running across Jill Bolte Taylor’s story of ‘My Stroke of Insight.’ It’s best to see …

Native perspective on awakening

From the native perspective, that we’re being given by numerous native philosophers, we see that becoming a truly awake human takes a lot of work but it is doable. -Opposite of narcissism- The native state is one of being connected to everything and particularly every one. it is not in hierarchy. It’s literally the opposite …
