Response to Reddit

There was an amusing article on Reddit attacking Radical Non Duality (and me, and Alexis a bit) the other day, but written relatively intelligently, and the arguments raised progress along some interesting lines. Questions - to be honest, I've had myself.

​

Questions like - how come if it's not a process, why does almost EVERY ONE of these speakers seem to be ex-seekers themselves.

A fair question. I would suggest that any 'me', contextualising any apparent action into time, will always see 'change', from one state to another (particularly whilst that action is married to apparent 'will of purpose'), then that will always be seen as a process. There is NEVER meaning available, there, ready to be extracted from an observation. It will always be a story told in time and space. A dream, essentially. I think far more fundamentally though, even the very idea that there are actual separate people, performing actual, real separate processes, in actual time and space, leading some of the lucky ones to 'get' liberated, is very sweet, but clearly, by definition, a dualistic story, clearly based upon the primary misconception of being 'a me', alive, separate, real and moving, purposfully through time, towards 'IT'! Let's not even get into the 'getting' liberated bit. I have a feeling that we all understand that that is not how liberation 'works'. When there is nothing other than liberation, there is not even such a 'word' as 'getting'.

​

Nobody is special or liberated or a 'knower' of THE TRUTH. There is only, simply, immediately, this. Radical non-duality can seem, intellectually and philosophically, very much like a closed loop sometimes; an impenetrable structure, closed off to 'logical' discussions, as all talk is repeatedly revealed to be dualistic misinterpretations - and naturally, very frustrating. It doesn't matter if that frustration appears as anger at this message or as a pause in going to all the meetings, maybe (and who hasn't done that!)

​

But it is all, energetically, about searching and seeking and then not finding at the 'end', and all the frustrations that that engenders. Yet ..... 'nothing' matters. 💔 There is only the beautiful beautiful this.

 

There is no greater prayer in my heart - the heart of nothing itself, than that each and every one of you who believes that they are reading this now, hears the secret whisper at the very heart of this message. It is a song, half sung, half whispered, by all things, at all times. It's terribly quiet, but you can still hear it beneath just the right moonlightt. It's never not there. Never.  

​

It says ........  everything is OK.

​

This is the divine invitation to see that this is meaninglessly, all that there is, and the fact that no meaning can ever be found in that ... is fine as well. Meaning was never there in the first place, nor was it ever needed. And that THIS, by virtue of being already all that there is ..... is enough!

​

Frustration and confusion with this message is normal and certainly not something one has to apologise for.  To be embraced by it, divine friends, is annihilation. It is liberation too. No time, no space, no stories, no processes, no questions ...

 

And certainly certainly no answers.

Swimming through nothing at all

So I went swimming the other day. I swam breaststroke; my hands cupped and parting the water. I don't know why but I thought about the very concept of a question itself. We are born wild, wild indeed, and unconditioned. Then we seek to know and understand the world. We ask questions.

 

I would suggest that one would struggle to formulate an intelligible question that is not rooted around any one of these 7 pivotal words ... Where? When? How? Who? Why? Which? What? #

 

Where and when mean at what real point in real time (when) and real space (where) was this. 'How' constructs our stories of causality. How a cause becomes an effect. This matters to 'us' because some effects we really really want, some not so much. 'Who' is about the people in our lives. It makes us stand apart. This man, that man. And then there are both 'which' and 'what' for a clarifying division of objects or ideas too. A reinforcement of separation. And 'why?' ... perhaps the saddest word in the English language. Just scream it out loud and fall to your knees .... That's WHY!

 

Questions. Questions. Questions. These are the questions that we use to try to understand the world. As my hands parted the water, I saw them as questions, dividing and dividing oneness in an attempt to find wholeness. Isn't every question we ask then, when we attend our non duality meetings, really just asking .... How can I DUALISTICALLY understand non duality?

 

If someone feels inspired to try .... I'd be fascinated to hear a question about non duality that isn't a direct request for duality! So if that is the case ... what then! What can we say? And how? And why!!!!!
