I even consider Bernardo a spiritual teacher… I think the universe doesn’t want Bernardo to awaken totally (yet!) in order for him to have the perspective of a separate self. In having that perspective his output maybe more accessible for a broader audience. I think one can sense clearly the raging storm of reason and love underneath Bernardo’s philosophical output

That is true. But Jesus also says that the purpose of this higher intelligence is love. Who knows maybe that's why there is life.

Reality can never be experienced directly through the individual. It is the individual itself that veils Reality. It is only through Self-inquiry that the individual dissolves leaving Reality standing alone. It is therefore that Bernardo will not inherently experience his own philosophy until he surrenders and turns within. I long for the day Bernardo surrenders himself to himSelf via Self-inquiry and experiences the love he so longs for. ❤️

"The incredibly damaging Western idea-that's so ingrained people see it now as self-evident-is that your life is about you, that my life is about me. This is astonishingly unnatural. It's wrong from every perspective one can possibly look at it ... Everybody makes the assumption that a person's life is about that person. No, a person is a part of nature. A person's life is about what nature is trying to do, what nature is expressing through that person. If you understand this, such a weight is lifted from our shoulders-a tremendously heavy load is just taken out. Your life is not about you." - Bernardo Kastrup

Would it be possibly Simon to have a broader perspective of Reality as experienced from the other 50% of humanity? Namely, some female counterparts to Rupert? This would really speed evolution up a bit…Thank you 🙏🏽

@@jameschesterton yes. If we get stuck in the absolute reality , then we start chanting mantras like ‘we are all the same and females and males are the same’. Yes ultimately that is true. But nobody lives there. This world lives in the duality so we must relate to how that manifests. We cannot just pretend that women and men have no conditioning and they are all the same on this relative level. They DO have conditioning and therefore we must attend to that place. I am speaking as both a spiritual teacher AND from the fire of an intense domestic abuse situation. So I have not only the Understanding but also the experience of how this teaching plays out in real life dualistic settings , more than many who will be commenting here.

@@alisonsalter8352 I know everyone's situation is different in life, but is it not fair to say that every person experiences awareness or consciousness in the same way. It depends on what you are referring to when you say 'reality', because to me, reality is that everyone is just pure awareness, but that our experience in life is what is different.

Is B denying all personal responsibility then? Are murderers 'only doing what nature wants to do through them'? So every whim & impulse can be just written off as 'nature's', not mine! So no-one can be blamed or praised? But even then , we have 'nature' manifesting itself through the apparent person ... is not that 'duality' anyway?! This seems v confused.

No, Bernardo is not claiming that. While it is true that there are numerous illustrations of how 'free will' cannot be fundamentally true (check out Sam Harris' extensive work on the subject), that does not mean you should not have laws or rules in place, or that people are not required to take full responsibility for their actions. And also, in recognising that you are an interconnected part of nature as is everyone else, an inclination to do harm is invariably lower than when you feel and believe you are no more than a separate ego.

@@IAmSimonMundie Well yes: feeling interconnected to everyone & everything else probably would minimise any inclination to to do harm (though not if you lack empathy, responsibility, theory of mind, compassion ... or have a strong 'will to power' - ie power over rather than power with, like dictators & psychopaths.) But re your 1st point: what makes you think Bernardo does not reject personal responsibility, since as you say, he also thinks 'free will' is not in fact free? Since we are under multiple constraints & influences, how does B think we can exercise personal free moral choice?

I like both,especially Kastrup but i dont agree on this one. To me the "I" and free will are totally real. And nature (or higher consciousness or whatever) learn more from them being real.

The I is only an I because infinite conscious or the Self is there, not the ego. The definitions of free will vary. We have precisely zero control over what thoughts appear in awareness. It is automatic. So in that sense, we are limited, massively, to choices that appear in awareness. Who we really are, however, would have complete and total freedom of will. There is only one will, the Life Power.

@@Bobsbigbuoy The ego is what is mainly related to my choices, my morality, so is the first tool to learn ... And is the most important thing in existence. So i dont see the point of over-complicate it with things that are not evident or even worse to deny it. The "I" and my free will are the most evident things we EXPERIENCE and are immensely powerful tools. It's possible that this is a fraction of what we really are but thats dont delete the "I". Huston Smith clarified the problem as an interpretation error ... is not the drop that return to the ocean (after death) , but is the drop that is ready to accept the ocean (after death). With that to me everything makes sense without denying what we are.

The "I" only look real because it's useful. Just like many scientific theories, e.g. matter, which only look real because they are useful.

@@francesco5581 your answer speaks to me of duality. "I AND MY free will". I and My denotes 2 rather than One. Maybe Huston messed your ideas of non duality up as both of your "answers" are based in duality. The drop neither returns to the ocean nor does it accept the ocean. These are stories of that taking place BUT they all happen within or arise out of awareness. The drop was/is never separate from the ocean, it simply takes that appearance within mind. Bob is correct ,There is only one will, the life power is one label for it.

@@anthonyw1499 No there is absolutely no need that are 2 separate things. all "non-duality" philosophy doesnt really need that the "I" and "free will" doesnt exist... it's because it have built itself a cage from which is hard to escape (books, conventions, oriental traditions, sleepy speakers...). If everything is about learning them it needs "free will" because is the essence of learning. An agent and his actions doesnt require duality. Once i had a total lucid dream, i was myself in a totally new environment and i had my free will, when i awoke i was in another environment, still me with my free will.... what is the problem ?

The notion of "the incredibly damaging WESTERN perspective"??? Duality certainly is NOT a function is the Western perspective, but the statement itself --- most certainly --- is a function of duality --- so constantly extant WORLDWIDE and has been since the dawn of thought. Attachment to duality blatantly demonstrates itself in blaming "others", in self righteousness, in self destructiveness, in self loathing, in self blame and in self victimization --- only ensuring even further rock solid attachment to and further precipitation of the horrors of the dualistic perspective --- the predicament of unwitting suffering of the ignorance of the nature of external appearances; (i.e., concepts/objects). Ramana Maharshi pointed out that there are two methods, one of those being the unconditional surrender to Self (i.e., THAT) --- THE SOURCE OF AND WHICH IS ALWAYS IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF ALL APPEARANCES/CONCEPTS/OBJECTS. Complete surrender to Self/THAT is for this very reason just stated ---Self/THAT is already in control and always has been. And, since the nature of Self/THAT is stillness and silence, "thinking" and "doing" (i.e., duality) actually works against Self/THAT and personal Self Realization.

I dont agree with Kastrupo here. Of course my life is about me, but not about me in a stupid way. The better I know myself the better I know others. If I am happy I can share my happiness with others. If I am not happy then what's the usage of being under influence of what nature wants from me? Nature created us as a happy beings. If we truly want to do what nature wants us to do as Bernardo says then you have to be happy first

Reality couldn't care less what an individual perceives about reality. I say INDIVIDUAL because we are all individuals not only in looks but in the source within that Formed at it's inception at an epoch to Form your individual lineage. Your life is about you and your lineage past present and future. Nature has nothing to do with your lineage because you were initially FORMED not BORN. Your individuality source is elements having a symbiotic relationship with biology. Even the word INDIVIDUAL means divid-e , dual ie elements and biology is your duality divided but form one source. You bet your Source within is in control to evolve it's biological host the physical body and brain and it's being doing that for aeons. The problem is teachers and guru's do not have a clue how their Source derived and therefore have never allowed their source imprinte knowledge to enlighten them of it's PRESENCE and therefore remain in a revolving door of confusion with more question than answers. Here we have two persons playing a game of who is more intelligent in their chosen field. A field of non reality.
This is the mistake that creates ALL psychological suffering
