Listener question : I was wondering how oneness and uniqueness are possible at the same time... how can any expression be more unique than another if there is no separation to begin with..

Listener question: Could you say maybe something about confidence and competition. Recently it became apparent that the I seems to be in constant competition in all areas of life. Keeping a hypervigilant gaze on the others who seem always better, more competent, more charming, compatible, positive, etc. It’s tough times for a lot of people, but somehow the I believes to be the utter underdog (at work for example) holding a belief that if times get even tougher I’m the first one out the door. Alt...

Listener question: It seems that what we're calling "apparent reality" isn't the same as illusion or dream, it's the learned, conditioned perception each brain body has of reality. An illusion or a dream cannot be touched, it's intangible. Just like the imagination of the mind in creating future scenarios that aren't happening, they aren't real. Those are illusions/a dream. That's also why we say feelings in the body are the closest we can get to reality, because they are direct - although I wou...

How did you first really "get" this? Was it a sudden Road to Damascus moment of utter seeing and knowing that in a flash changed everything forever, or was it rather a long slow drawn-out painful grind of stops and stutters till you finally saw what an idiot you'd been seeing things any other way? Book reference: Conversations in Non Duality: Twenty Six Awakenings by Eleanora Gilbert...

Listener question: How does this conversation not slide over into there's no form and therefore no science to study that form, no laws to govern the interaction of forms (traffic speed laws or requirements on auto safety design), and no reason to treat one another well? This can just as easily slide into the other side of a conditioned response called nihilism. You've already spoken about how this isn't solipsism.

A listener request for comment on an email: I think I may have had an epiphany. Or something. I’m not sure. I am a container for Mind. A conduit for Infinite Intelligence. An individual expression of the animating force of the universe. It expresses through me. I think and I feel. Thoughts and feelings come spontaneously, which generate behavior. I have no control over any of it. When I’m in a low mood, and behaving accordingly, I just wait it out. It will eventually pass. No matter what I am th...

As I've worked through relationships and roles the common thread I am finding is the overwhelming sense of responsibility wherever there is suffering or stress. My question - does the sense of responsibility come from the need to control, or does the need to control create the sense of responsibility?

So beliefs, experience, action are revealing what has been learned by the form/being... But what about thoughts, feelings, emotions? Are they revealing anything/have any purpose? Or like the 3P people say, are they just randomly coming in from who knows where or what? Thanks!!

There is no self that is the do-er because the self is a concept created by the brain-body as part of learning. And that does not mean an absence of doing or the being having custody of that doing. Can you speak on this please?

Listener question: I do not have control over other people, events, and circumstances. Agreed. And I do not have control over the thoughts that bubble up in my mind. They arise on their own, for the most part. But I CAN think on purpose. Thoughts may arise, but I can also think intentionally. And this applies to my actions even more so. My instinct may be to anger or blame or withdraw. But I CAN act another way if I choose. Knowing I have no control, and letting go of wanting anything to be othe...

Listener question : I’ve been on my own for most of this year with my 3 year old boy. I had planned to travel to see family in Scotland for Christmas and I had been so much looking forward to it. Now the government has changed the rules and I can’t go and I am devastated. I am so terribly lonely. I keep trying to tell myself it is just my thinking but that makes it worse. What can I do?

Listener question: My therapist said that going down the rabbit hole of emotional suffering is a choice. It was said that we have a choice when we notice the unhelpful conditioned pattern kick in and we can access more supportive inner patterns within us. But I recall you saying that we don’t have a Choice? Im confused and don’t know what to trust anyway. Or is my mind using doubt as another destructive tool?
