An Advaita forum focusing on Realisation, enlightenment, non-duality, Real Love, peace, freedom, Your original nature, abiding naturally, the Oneness, the Nothingness, and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Here, there is nothing that is believed, so there is no one here who wants you to believe anything, either. Here, the invitation is to be free of all that you have been programmed, conditioned, acculturated, and domesticated to believe so that you can be free, period.
F.: Since my daughter is coming to visit this weekend, the next series will begin on Monday. The topic of Monday's post: THE HOPE / MISERY CONNECTION.
Meanwhile, the following is available for viewing and then for your consideration:
Are you interested in a video discussion of any of the following topics: defining Advaita Vedanta; the Methods of Teaching; the Unicity / Nonduality; I AM THAT; I AM; Learning vs. Unlearning; the difference in a person vs. the Realized; the body-mind-personality triad or where you were before conception?
What about a video discussion of the following facts: that there is no body continuity; that you were not born and cannot die; that there was no creation; that there is no such thing as peace of mind; the different in “my mind” and “their mind”; the difference in the brain, the mind, and the consciousness; why you are not in the world; what the inner guru is; the connection between personality and suffering; or how persons upgrade illusions?
What about a video discussion of one or more of these topics: the link between role-playing / co-dependency and suicide; the difference in emotions vs. feelings and why the Realized feel but do not emote; religion vs. spirituality; why persons must question everything they have been taught if they are to Realize; the difference in Nisarga / natural living on one hand vs. unnnatural and supernatural living; or how it is that trillions have been wrong in their beliefs?
What about a video discussion of the fact that Christ taught the Advaita understanding; the Child Ignorance or Pre-”mind” State; Child Ignorance vs. Learned Ignorance; the two levels of witnessing; how all misery is rooted in desires and / or fears; the difference in Consciousness vs. Awareness; the difference in Real Love vs. false love; an understanding of “zero concepts”; or, an understanding of “The Nothingness”?
Those topics are discussed in the series of video interviews to the right.
