Nonduality is transmittable. When you think about that for just a second, it’s obvious, right? Otherwise, you and I wouldn’t be here talking about nonduality. Someone experienced a nondual state and worked really hard to explain it to other people. A bunch of other people got it, went on to explain it to other people, and out of those people, a bunch of them got it.
They went on to explain it to other people, so it’s been being passed down and passed down and passed down. I think it goes deeper than that. I think that when you’re talking about ancient India or the Vedas, way back in the day when people first started talking about awakening, we were already living in a divided society at that time.
The society itself was divided so stepping into awakening seemed like a really big deal. But I think before that, the natural human being (running around in the wild_ was already free and enlightened and living in a nondual state within their environment. That’s why all native cultures say something like “all my relations” when they’re talking about the world, the plants, and the animals—these things are my relations. I’m part of all these things.
Why would they be there, and how did humans manage to stay there for, like, 80,000 years? Because it’s transmittable. Imagine a baby is born into a village of awake people. The baby’s going to grow up in a field of nonduality, right? He/she is going to be told every day of his or her life how things are interconnected.
Rather than the way we’re raised—we’re raised where we’re told how everything is separate, and you got to stand up for yourself, and every person for themselves, and survival of the fittest, and God will get you if you’re not good, and Santa Claus won’t bring your present if you’re not good. All the things that we’re told here in our modern world teach us division.
Nonduality is obviously transmittable, so allow yourself to soak it in from good sources. There’s lots of great videos on YouTube from wonderful enlightened people who are working constantly to transmit this to you. Let it seep in. Let it seep into you from the nature that surrounds you.
Maybe you are in an apartment building and you have to go really far out to get outside. Well, you’re surrounded by air, right? Where did this air come from? It came from plants.
You’re literally surrounded by this transmittable field of nonduality at all times. Gravity—how come you’re not just floating off into space? Gravity is reality. It’s the physical reality of the earth as a mass in motion holding you down.
You’re inside a constant field of awakening. Allow it to seep into you because it is incredibly transmittable. Every human being is looking for their authentic self, which is already there trying to bubble up. Let it get you.
