Carl's gonna ask you to go through 20K of Nahm's posts to find that specific one. It's just uncanny how many people remember him giving inappropriate advice. But you won't change Carl's mind on the topic of Nahm, it's useless, I've tried.

Fair enough. I still think some discernment goes a long way. Maybe spamming the nondual stuff has some value too, who knows.

Most people here propably have a secular background, so connection with Christ consciousness etc will be rare. The church made Jesus an easy target lol.

What would be an example of nondual advice that's helpful, when someone is asking for practical life advice ?

Good observation. The Flowerfaery/New Age types are rare here🙂

I just need to say one final thing here to clear up the apparent misunderstanding. Clearly you're acknowledging that he did at times give nondual advice when people were looking for practical life advice. The main point is simply this: It's not helpful, ie bad timing. And this shows some lack of wisdom, that's all. But you'll never acknowledge that in a million years

🙃

@Carl-Richard I really don't care about it that much to sift through 20k posts. Ulax, Inligtened1 had the same impression as me, and I'm sure there are others. I'm done with this, you do you.

I remember enjoying the original Silent Hill movie, quite a work of art. But I'm curious, what was deep about SAW ? I just can't get myself to watch something like that.

I was there the day before Nahm got banned, and I remember looking at something he wrote thinking, man is this really helpful ? Are you expecting me to have exact recordings of what he said 5 years ago 🙂 I can see Nahm still has a soft spot in your heart, God bless him.

Yeah, this type of stuff sucks. Im still telling you there's a different energy about Jim and the message unravels things quickly when truly heard, but you just listened to his laugh🙂

My favorite Nisargadatta quote: "The difference between you and me is that I don't mind what happens." Dude was gangster

@Carl-Richard Feels like we going in circles now. Ulax already gave you some examples there.

Hey, why didn't you respond to my last comment in the Jim Newman thread, Im not a nondual robot

Not sure what exactly you referring to. I never claimed Leo didn't make any mistakes. The topic right now is that perhaps Nahm was not quite as wise as some people thought.

Carl, your a smart guy, but you have a hard time admitting when your wrong. All I have been doing here is trying to get you to acknowledge that Ulax made a good point earlier, which you cleverly tried to intellectually analyze your way out of. "A guy could've been homeless, on food stamps and asking about how to find a job, and Nahm would've told him it was just a thought. Leo demoting him was very reasonable." Yes, it can be dangerous to give nondual advice, especially when someone needs to take action to make practical changes in their life. Leo had good reason to let him go.

Giving nondual advice when someone is suffering and actually needs some practical common sense life solutions, is not just annoying, it can be dangerous, and it showed lack of wisdom on Nahm's part, no matter how good his intentions.

You don't think the actual context (nonduality vs God realization) of most of the original disagreements, was slightly overlooked here ? Seems like the elephant in the room to me.

I'm not saying Leo didn't make any mistakes in the way that he handled disagreements. What I'm saying is that most of the focus here has been placed on just that, ie how disagreements were handled. From what I can tell there wasn't that much focus on the actual context of the disagreements. Which pretty much seems to be: nonduality vs God realization (dating all the way back to the days of Nahm) As a personal example: Recently I really got into radical nonduality, especially the work of Jim Newman. For me it really feels like a big opening of Grace is happening that will take me all the way. Leo told me in no uncertain terms: "It's just not the Full Monty." Now, it might take me all the way, it might not. I'm still open to learning, and I still do learn from Leo. Am I now going to fight Leo on this specific topic. What would be the point ? Just follow ur own resonance at the time. It's kinda simple really. (So much unnecessary drama)

So you saying you and Carl Richard didn't have the same level of integrity as Zurew, ie to sacrifice membership here. I think Elliott might be right, perhaps there was some kind of ego battle he had with Leo. From listening to @Carl-Richard, it sounds like the root of a lot of the disagreements, dating back to the days of Nahm, was mostly about nonduality vs God realization. And even just going through the spirituality section now, you can kind of still spot the two camps. My sense is that some of the God realization guys tend to underestimate radical nonduality. But I'll be the first to admit that there's always more to explore. (Perhaps Nahm and others still had something to learn from Leo, but hey he seemed convinced otherwise, so God bless him where ever he may be. His practical life advice though just seemed way off at times. Not sure if him or his followers had integrated as much as they thought at the time.)

Can you at least acknowledge that he gave bad practical life advice. Also, if you're into radical nonduality, I would converse more with Mellowmarsh, she proper switched on.

Totally agree

LOL

Not sure I understand the connection between your question and what I said there ?

So it's like nonduality vs God realization What happened with Nahm's forum, is it still alive ?
