Don’t Pretend
This is a series on Nonduality and Native Wisdom. The entire progression is in my new book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQRZPV6K.

Nondual teachings can seem very dry and obscure. But what we’re looking …
Unity is bigger than you think
Unity is bigger than you think. Our brains can never grasp the hugeness of everything that exists. — An instinct towards unity — Our natural human instinct draws us towards Unity. That’s why nonduality can be really fun because it is the process of stripping away the false.

Let’s do a recap of what we’ve been learning in this series on the intersection between native wisdom and nonduality, so we can put it all together and start moving on to some action steps. To what exactly? How does nonduality help us enter this native wisdom State? How do we change one worldview for …
Without language
Without our language always going in our heads and our history giving us our belief of who we are, who are we underneath this? — Enlightenment and joy — Joy doesn’t create Enlightenment. There is no level of joy and happiness that’s going to get you us there. Enlightenment creates Joy.
