Paul Hedderman - Non Duality - 8/3/2019
ates/locations for upcoming talks: http://zenbitchslap.com/events/specia...

My name is Paul Hedderman. I have been leading workshops and holding talks for 30 years on recovery, non duality, and A Course in Miracles. Many of the talks are available here for you to listen to and download. Thanks, Paul.

If by finding these videos valuable in any way, and you are moved to donate to the upkeep of my lavish lifestyle, that would be greatly appreciated. https://goo.gl/ugGoxM


Paul is no holds barred--in your face --but well worth listening to for the brave and foolhardy. Lol
Seriously he can laugh at life in his own unique way.

Oh, for any interested Paul has a new book (July 2019) called On Having Never Left: Volume 1 The Unfinished Works of Paul Hedderman ... it's a transcribed collection of 65 of his in-person-talks (some of which are also on YT) but as he has his own very unique "style", I'd suggest watching a few of his videos to sort of "get where he's coming from" *before* buying the book because seeing his talks visually may help to "convey the message" better ... nevertheless I'd say the book is well worth the money spent !

Why would the wave try to remember itself as the ocean ? Why would it try to experience the ocean as a wave ? Is a wave a wave or is it the ocean waving ? How long would it take a wave to be the ocean ? And when could that happen and what would it take ?

Trying to remember the ocean as a wave doesn't work. See if you're a wave to begin with if you're not ocean. Is it a long-lasting, independent, separate wave that can only hope to know and experience the ocean, or is it the ocean Being itself appearing as a wave ? That's the ocean ! How long did that take ? There's no process for the wave to become the ocean, it is the ocean.

At the end of seeking, all is consciousness only.
The sense of being, the feeling ‘I am’
shines as the light of consciousness.
That one who is referred to as a sage
observes and knows the ‘I am’-presence,
which functions inside the body,
as the observing, sentient Being.
The sage observes consciousness operating.
As the state of deep sleep approaches,
consciousness begins departing
and the show comes to an end for the day.
Now, as the curtains close,
the light of perception dims
and the notion ‘I’ disappears.
The play of relationship ends.
Here, there is neither husband nor wife.
There is no world and no time.
That which remains wears no name.
It is pure awareness and it is your real Self.
Here alone is undisturbed joy,
complete rest—perfect harmony.
To come to this perfect and direct understanding
in the waking state is called liberation.

Shyamji Bhatnagar - Buddha at the Gas Pump Interview

Sri Shyamji was born and raised in India. At age 12, he met his spiritual teacher in the Himalayas and spent several years under his guidance. The Guru initiated Shyamji into the Saivite tradition of Tantra—imparting a rare oral tradition of sacred sounds (naada yoga), breath (svara yoga), and spiritual wisdom.

The grace of the guru (guru krippa) and the spiritual practices he imparted (sadhana) are the basis for Sri Shyamji’s extraordinary intuition and unique chanting of sounds and mantra. For millennia this tradition was passed down from generation to generation through an oral tradition which preserved its purity. It is a rare opportunity to learn the science of sound from a true master.

Scientific Evidence for the Divine Matrix - Gregg Braden DOCUMENTARY

Once called the Ether, scientists have worked hard to prove that a mysterious field of energy connecting all things does not exist. Watch Gregg Braden’s #1 Hit Show http://bit.ly/Missing_Links and discover the Divine Matrix, how it influences you, and how you can influence it. This could dramatically improve your life, your wellbeing, and the lives of all of those around you.

Ancient texts tell us that everyone is connected through an enigmatic net that bridges time and space with consciousness. Even early scientific experiments concluded that such a matrix exists. Now, results from CERN may finally put this matter to rest. But, if this controversial divine Matrix really exists, what is it, what is it made of and how does it work? Find out now and stream http://bit.ly/Missing_Links

Why does the Universe Exist? ~ Swami Sarvapriyananda ~ VedantaZenOneness

The Biggest Question for Humanity is: Why does the Universe Exist? and Why I exist? Swami Sarvapriyananda answered these question humorously and sweetly.

Questions: Why does the Universe exist? Why do I exist? Why there is duality? Why can't brahman be alone without appearance? Why Maya? Why? Why? Why?

Wonderful post, Wind.


For one who is free,....

There is nothing that qualifies.

Freedom has been co-opted by things such as the corporate-mind but once co-opted it is no longer that.

Essence of Advaita Vedanta | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=QZtCQoTemoY

[greybeard]

When enough is enough--when there is the realization that there is no lasting enjoyment in the new acquisition--when it is known that nothing here can bring the lasting peace and joy then--all desire ceases.

Desire brings us back into another body, another life time of disappointment.

The last thoughts before exoting the body are important they can set the temporary visitation to the realm of heaven we anticipate--then when good Karma--merit, is exhausted back we come.

A desire less state brings enlightenment and no further incarnation,
Nothing to come back for.
Even at the moment of death enlightenment can happen for those who have spent time in spiritual practise.


This video takes a long time to get there but covers the subtle body and causal body in full.
You could fast forward the first half approx.
It covers why we reincarnate
