I agree with you. Grasping radical nonduality requires stepping entirely outside the intellectual mind. Because most people rely entirely on their intellect to navigate life, conceptualising a state with "no centre and no boundary" creates massive cognitive dissonance. An infinitesimally small percentage of the global population fully grasps radical nonduality. Because it negates the very idea of a separate "person" to do the grasping. At the end of the day, when you personally understand what Jim is pointing to, then that’s all that matters really, what other people think to the contrary is irrelevant, as there’s only your own understanding according to what you are personally hearing within the message. If people are pushing back with their own personal beliefs, then just let them, it’s not going to amount to a hill of beans, it’s just a load of hot air steaming off. Mostly just blah blah blah, far removed from the clarity within the message.

“There’s no container for the thing he was now that he’s gone. It’s an irrational number. Infinity divided by zero. That’s probably why we put people in containers when they die: coffins, urns, mausoleums – to give a physical shape to the absence.” Knowledge is the name we give to the mystery to give it shape, but the mystery remains untouched, only the need for certainty gets comforted by knowledge. What is the shape of boundlessness?

You’re very welcome. 😊

For me, it’s not an experience for a “ someone”… rather, it’s just a spontaneous “experiencing” that nothing made happen and nothing to stop it from happening.

Because forms are constantly changing and depend on everything else, they are "empty" of a permanent, separate self. Because everything is empty of a fixed identity, it is free to inter-be and change. Emptiness is the very fabric that allows the universe to manifest.

Emptiness is form. Form is emptiness. This non-dual view means that you can live fully in the physical world ("form") while realising that everything is impermanent and interconnected ("emptiness").

The how notion of God is only possible if the how notion of God already exists. That’s what’s recognised as known. This is already the known indescribable mystery describing the mystery that’s indescribable. For even God itself must ponder how it ever got off its own starting block.

One of the ways that we know that God exists is because we cannot replicate what God has done. We cannot create from nothing.

If it’s already a possibility then it would never not be a possibility. And that knowledge would already be contained in the awareness that is already you.

Even it’s the mystery unfolds and reveals itself, it would still remain a mystery beyond words. To even think or speak of the mystery would not touch the mystery, or be the mystery, for then it wouldn’t be the mystery.

What if there’s nothing higher than human sentient awareness? And if there is, how would we ever get outside of this immediate awareness to know or see it exists?

In a limitlessly long, long, longest of time.

The only certainty is uncertainty. An open book is never read, even as each chapter is inseparable from the book.

Only our need for certainty gets comforted by that knowledge.
