Robert, Your explanation and understanding of this philosophy called Non-dualism validated everything I have been contemplating, and why I have had so much frustration when listening to non dual teachers. Thank you for sharing! Thank you for the conversation.
I so agree about Jim Newman, Robert. He is a one trick pony and it's a very naive and unproductive understanding of what's up. Anyone can sit there and say "no" to everything but it's pretty pretentious and has very little to offer. Life isn't without nuance. Nuance is the very essence of life. All of the colors and interpretations are gorgeous and need not be denied. It's the seasonings...the whole enchilada...our very humanness. But, that being said, if you feel like there's nothing to do, no where to go and life is without meaning, have at it.

It’s so much easier to adopt the opinions and views of a so-called “teacher” than to trust yourself and follow your own understanding! That’s why there are so many people blindly following teachers and gurus.No human mind can truly know the mystery of the universe. Thanks Robert.
