Just discovered this guy recently, and every time I listen to him, more and more of the sense of separate self just seems to melt away without any effort. Kinda magical really. It's gotten to the point now that when I think of memories of the past, there are impressions of past events, but I can't find a me in those memories, quite trippy.

Thank you

Aha, thanks

I haven't had any sugar in my coffee for years. Thank you, what kind of sweeteners ?

Wow, there's a real beauty in that (ever unfolding), thanks. (It just hit me, if nothing ever happened, what would even be the point in having a divine plan lol)

You lucky, it can be a bit hard on my stomach, so I had to switch from Americano's to cappuccino's. I tried quitting coffee a few times, almost impossible

And there's really no divine plan in the big scheme of things ? Is it really all just pure anarchy ?

@Mellowmarsh I'm curious, if there's no one here, would you say there are some similarities between radical nonduality and solipsism ?

Thanks

Jim Noman as Sugarcoat likes to call him

Thank you.

Thanks, will watch on the weekend.

How so ?

I wish he had shorter clips, it's hard to just look things up

I think we going in circles now. (Talking about the possibility or impossibility of someone else's experience) It might be a valuable experiment for you to question him personally live on air on one of his monthly zoom meetings.

I think I once heard him say, there is no past, present or future. There is just what is.

It's a radical message for sure. Some objections that I have seen in this thread is that it would be impossible for Jim to even function if his sense of separate self was not there anymore. But it's just life happening automatically by itself, without the sense of personal ownership. (I like the quote you have there: Grief is love with nowhere to go.)

What do you mean ?

If you watch the clip I shared earlier, he explains his everyday experience quite clearly. ps he never talks about getting rid of ego. The word ego is never used in his message. He simply says there is no more identifying/claiming/owning/seeking etc. (the part that felt separate/incomplete is not there anymore.)

Thank you, there's a lot to contemplate here !

He's simply empty of the sense of a separate self. (And by that he means the seeking energy which feels separate and incomplete) Jim is like the last person to fanboy over. I like his work because it's been effective for me in a very short space of time. As I said in the original post, something interesting has happened where my memories are now devoid of a sense of me. I have listened to many teachers, for me personally no other message has been this effective at unravelling the sense of a separate self. Jim seems to be underestimated precisely because the message is so simple.

I think we might just need to agree to disagree on this one. (From this passage above you do seem to be missing the point though. It's simply emptiness living, ie there is no one there to identify/claim/own etc. This doesn't mean there's no personality. Not sure what this has to do with lucid dreaming. It's more like waking up from the dream of separation.)

@Inliytened1 See from 8:20 to around 15:30 (That gives an indication of how life flows through that body/mind system.)
