Me too. He really cuts to the quick, doesn't he? "There is no one for whom this occurs, there is just occurrence....the processes aren't happening for anyone, they're just happening.....there is no inherent nature to any-thing....everything dissolves as soon as it's experienced....just a vivid experience, residing nowhere..."

I tried reading his book on my longhaul but weirdly couldn’t get into it but like his youtubes.

Another good one. It’s all an appearance.

It could aptly be said that one of the main tenets of "The Religion of Me," is the quest for an answer to question; How do I get more of the stuff I desire? LOA satisfies that question very nicely.

Totally agree. What UG was selling was anything BUT Advaita/Nonduality/Truth. He pandered around in that imaginary 'middle layer' some seekers erroneously invoke and then get stuck in,...a mystical/woo-woo sort of position between relative experience and transcendent seeing.

I like how you've put that....it quite perfectly describes the situation when there is a temporal arising frustration that is still underscored by 'an essential peace.'

I’ve been listening to Anna Brown lately and wondering what’s going on. She seems to be implying control. Nothing wrong with it of course but there’s so much confusion out there. First Jac now Anna? 🤔.

First Jac now Anna? 🤔. Whoah...yeah, I'll say! I just watched her most recent video: She's basically telling seekers to observe their feelings...their body's resonance or lack thereof with a particular message and to use that as a litmus test for Truth...which as we know, is BS. The seeker absolutely loves the message that it is a separate entity that has complete and total control over manifestations....and hates the message that ultimately, the person is but an appearance only....absent it's own inherent existence, thus, ultimately, not doing, causing, perceiving or experiencing anything per se.....that all doings, all experience is ultimately, arising to no one. I know she initially came to Nonduality from an LOA background....sounds as though her locus of seeing might be shifting somewhat back into the dream....? I really am seeing evidence these days that it apparently does happen.
