Fred Davis - what do you think?

[bejapuskas]

Hey guys, I found this guy who is trying to get you Enlightened by watching his videos, I think he is extremely funny and he has helped me to have some glimpses  What do you think?

He's a character.

Just don't expect instant enlightenment.

@Leo Gura  By watching his videos I began to understand this „me being a story“ more and how „me achieving satori“ is bullshit. That's why I share this content, because many people, who have just started their journey might be wondering. Of course this is all ultimately bs

@bejapuskas Of course the biological, biographical self cannot achieve satori since satori is the absence of a biological, biographical self.

Yes, Fred gives some great direct pointers, cutting through the stories.

I have worked with Fred.

And i dont like spiritual teachers. 

But as far as nonduality goes, Fred is probably the best out there.

And Fred at least had the humility to wait five years after enlightenment to start teaching.

He's a late bloomer

[Richard Alpert]

He is a funny guy.

He was alcoholic most of his life and homeless 9 times. Contemplated a suicide +10 times.

Kind of gives hope to regular people

There is no such thing as 5 years after Enlightenment, first you reach awakening, then you start to awaken, don't believe that it is possible to go all the way in instant.

i think it is possibly to go all the way (aka Tolle) but it is very rare. If i remember correctly Fred first awakening was in 92 and the second one right after that in 06, lol

You guys seem to know him better than I do  Good to learn something new  

[kadsuy]

This unit enjoys watching his videos as well and it certainly provided some clarity for "it"

 

[Sri Ramana Maharshi]

Totally. The best video he ever made was the one where he was freaking out laughing hysterically for about 5 minutes. At the end of his fit he said... (through a barrage of Laughter so intense I thought i was witnessing a "LySergic Delusion") "You guys are taking this stuff waaaay too seriously!"

...oh when the night, gets dark....and translucence is the only light you'll "see"...

...I won't be afraid no I won't be afraid, just as long as I-I stand alone.

Let there be such thing as 5 years after Englightenment. ........"and then 5 years appeared to pass behind the wake ripple of Eternity, and some yahoo started 'teaching'"

...And Now "I-I" give thanks.
