Cool. I like Mr Smythe. It would have been funny if he'd accidently bumped into Michael holding aloft an 'I'm perfect' sign. LOL. Sorry Randy, I couldn't resist one last dig. You are a lovely slice of perfection!

Ah.....Michael is not so bad. He's got a case of the 'the know it alls' but he is a giving person. I liked the links he posted. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
We need a thread here on the board about the 'the know it alls'. I am finding that there are quite a few nondualists out there that are like this. Some remind me of fundamental Christians.

I like the metaphors he used. The freefall term he used appeals to me. Thanks for this video Max.

ive seen a few of his clips, and to me its obvious he has read many books, has a brain, but this this business, and that enlightment is chasing a carrot, and to see that is just another carrot, his carrot, and not just his carrot, its quite an old one, and so is the perfect comment. If he took his advice and just sat, and didn't do a thing, and didn't control, but rather ignored his own ramblings, then the shit would hit the fan, and it may being a process that might in fact be of value for BEN, rather than his avoidance technique of making himself out to be in the rare position to be of value to others. YOUR NOT, your just saying what people what to here. THAT nothing needs to be done, they are already perfect, this is it, and wowee, isn't life grand. I dare say that would depend on the character one believes one is, you know the enitity that fuels itself, demands, asseirts and then responds as if, threre is a me and my feelings, me and my thoughts, me and my bullshit, me and what I need to do, and now your saying to this me character, you need to do nothing, you are perfect, or use a remote with this mind of YOURS, you and YOUR Mind. DUALITY BABY. so ignoring the lots, brings the lot to the surface and if you dont do a thing to that, then it slowly starts to fade and it is harsh, helllish, and no one wants to hear that, but that really is the only way, the only sane way to get beyond this self that idenitifies with itself, and in short that self has to be willing to die, and in a sense die it will, but if you do it whilst your alive, then you'll have life abundant, and youlll go much beyond the likes of BEN smythe, who obviously hasnt even started this. IF this is harsh, its only harsh because its true. HONesty. ADMIT WHAT YOU REALLY KNOW YOU ARE< WHAT YOU ARE< WHERE YOU ARE< WHY YOU ARE, and yes, you can say, its just this, and a happening, and life and existence, and blsh blah blah, but if that is your answer, well it really isn't one, its your answer, so why not say that, rather than try and impose it on needy and vulnerable kids, and perhaps your assuming there isn't any way of knowing who or what you are, well it could well be, because your still trusting your own thinking, THE FALSE SELF, that doesn't know what will come about if you stop feeding it, and its scary, and I think your a scared little boy hiding beyond the LOOK AT ME< IM A NON DUAL TEACHER, with really cool answers, the carrot, pfffff. man, I head that 29 years ago, its the search that is the problem. THE RT bit, of no self, thats a JK take of, your all just second hand people trying to get a name, well why dont you have the balls to get honest. thats all youve got to do, get honest, gut wrenching 5.00am, defenses down honesty. that is like an asking, and if you do that, be warned, because the upheavel goes on for months and months, and your teaching bs, will end, and youll actually discover so much more than what your flogging of as so. ITS knwledge and belief, and when you let all that burn, things stop, yet somewhat remain, and youll world will blow to bits, and youll know whats true, and it aint what your imply8ing now. I care enough to say this to you straight out, like you are to others. I m not into a name, I dont care how ive viewed, but if you really want to know what is so, then ask, as if your life depended on it, and ask even that little bit more. Namaste. ps. with love.
