Well done Dr. Cooke; you’ve gone where angels fear to tread.

Jim opens with “This is it,” and I burst into laughter 🤣❤

One of the best interviews with Jim ever heard. The clarifications of the non message really quite illuminating and to no one! Thank you Dr. Cook

Such a refreshing message. All the practices summed up in three simple words. This is it.

Thanks for this, I've watched many interviews with Jim Newman and the host here asked many insightful questions and managed to get quite a lot more out of Jim than most interviewers.

Absolutely love Jim Newman!

Thank you, Jim. Yes, there is no Ping-Pong. There's just "Ping".😂

Great interview. Well done and thanks.

Jim has the greatest style in Radical Non Duality! 😁☯👍

As it is ❤

I just love the message and Jim's eloquent delivery but I too must agree that not being able to hear the questioner as well as a brief summary of the question is fruckstrating!!

The 'self' doesn't fall away. There's simply just a clear realization that it's completely illusory. Never existed to begin with.

Well done. Excellent interview!

How can the person wants something if it doesn't exist ? It's the believe in a person that does it and there's no one wanting or not wanting anything .

Great chat Really enjoyed listening to Thanks 👌🏻

There’s a Book by David Carse called Perfect Brilliant Stillness. I listen to on audible. It’s well worth it if anyone is interested in what ever this is.

Love them both! 💖💖💖💖💖💖 This is it!!

Beautiful

Since Jim, as far as I know, doesn't offer us an email address, just a phone number (I'm not going to call him for something as trivial as what follows) I'm going to offer him a suggestion here. I enjoy watching the various and sundry "meetings," but only the monologues at the beginning. Once people start asking questions and commenting it's often as not very difficult to hear what they are saying. If there was a microphone available for them the "message" would reach a much wider audience and hopefully teach a lot of people how to stop wasting their time and/or following teachers of bogus teachings.

The refutation of a relativistic model for recognizing disparities in stress levels and how that is likely to contribute to (non)self-related insight comes across as extremely privileged to me. And yet I can’t deny that what he says is ultimately true. I think it’s best seen as a framework that fills in a niche, and it seems to work for some people. I’m reminded of the Dzogchen system, where while there is a deep understanding of the unity of emptiness/form, there is still an emphasis on dualistic preliminary practices, because they don’t want to give people a pointing out instruction that doesn’t transmit clearly enough to have the importance of the insight received. I think Douglas Harding said somewhere “the voice of the devil says ‘so what?’” But if it works, it works 🤷‍♂️. Paradox.

Great interview! This host was really able to drill down, as much as is possible with this subject, to the root of Jim's uncompromising sharing of nonduality. This allowed a much deeper discussion. It was obvious that you are very familiar with Jim's message and that you did your homework which enabled you to ask more insightful questions than most. Though it's understandable why they do so, I have grown weary of interviews in which a good portion is spent having the guest go through their 'awakening story'. You simply touched on it briefly for context, then moved on.

Well done! 😊

I understand that there is nothing to understand yet i am totally interested in this subject matter.

Kind of like there is no way to be water, when you are water.

Imagine awakening during the weekly bar fight outing though 😄

How much longer can we do this separation boogie? It’s getting spooky 👻 out here in me land. May total recall bestow us soon.

❤ Thanks

BOOM!!!

There’s no ping pong. - Jim

Just a humble Buddhist contribution: " The reality is non-dual, whole, undivided AND it doesn't really exist! (meaning it lacks any kind of 'svabhava', any kind of substance out which it is made of!!🤔".

How do I find meetings please ? 💚

kindly share your skin routine 🤪

How do you square non-duality with the evident need to nurture this body and mind, else cease to exist? Is it an add-on once survival needs have been met?

Good interview. But i think he could have pushed jim more i thought he was agreeing with him too much and not making jim talk more

Maybe I am not ready to absorb this information and this is resistance but I have questions. My understanding is that we are all here for a purpose, we are each an individuation of the whole so that the whole can experience all that this planet has to offer. The whole is all that is, we are all connected. We make soul contracts before we come into these meat suits, things that will happen to us in order for us to learn things like compassion etc. So my feeling would be that the inability to walk was a soul contract in order that you can grow as a person, and indeed you did. If there is no self, or individuation of the whole, who is looking through your eyes at your face in the morning? Who is talking in your head? Where are your ideas about the Universe and how it shows up for you coming from? I know we live in a holographic Universe created by our own thoughts and beliefs and we can change our world if we change our thoughts. If there is no self where are those thoughts coming from??? Personally I think I'll prefer to believe the messages of the ascended masters and the thousands of channelled beings on the Planet right now. Again, I have an open mind and perhaps I am just not ready to believe that life is as dull and pointless as this man paints it. Much love to you all. Have a blessed day 🙏🙏🙏

The Maps Not The Territory ❤😊

Jim is 'book read' enlightenment for me. Quite a few stock answers and he defends non duality instead of being at one with it and its seekers. Can be dissimive of other non dualists also which isn't a good sign.

Dommage que Jim Newman ne soit pas traduit

In a way, there IS a "pong", but it's nothing more than an echo of the "ping", and as such, the ping and the pong are not separate in any way.....or something. 😂

'these enlightened people having barfights'hahaha

If there is no one who knows anything, then how do you know that this is "apparent"?❤

are you calling the Supreme Being, the Original Face, the real I *This*

The ego = Once you know Father Christmas isn’t real, you can never get back to believing he’s real again ??? - I’m finding that there’s something else going on, nothing to do with reading a book ??? - It’s strange, it’s like it’s not in the words but maybe it wouldn’t be happening without the words ??? - It’s definitely not in the ideas and yet maybe it wouldn’t be happening without the ideas, maybe it would be, people go on silent retreats !!! And that’s the system itself - The things/objects are over (Cloak) emphasised and the awareness is under-played - (Thus awareness is not being conscious, it’s what we’re conscious of - To tell you your trapped by inferring that there is a you which could be free to think there’s a better way - But there’s an ideation of an image called selfing - The mental state points to the after as being the before - (Language emphasis there is an us and uses the subjective experience to make an object of ideation IE: Your the all that’s been thinking about) But there isn’t a self doing the selfing that implies there’s a self doing it - There’s a mechanical system doing: Thus is reinforcing the nouning that your not - Not. ‘Knot’ Mamma has died in the night - Looking from the bondage of self (As self) - Contracted energy or pseudo eye strap from chest to head over cloaked by a superimposed phantom which orchestrates the Trinity which actuates the body. It may have a real importance to being wrong because it will be right about how wrong it believes you are, so your wondering why your messing things up because then it can be right about how wrong you are. It says I can’t afford to lose anymore time that I was sinking (Bewildering supported by those who propagate it) Therefore, that which is traveling lighter does not get that the self doesn’t exist. You identify someone that’s like you because it’s not you they like. The Para Sight casts us as the affect - Looking through eyes at shadows of who we used to be.gets dumbfounded by believing what it’s believing to be true. Because no one can see Stanley as not being you-r-debt - A magic trick could have one quality which is (You see the after but you don’t see the before, so if you see the after you think that the rabbit came out of the hat, and if you saw the before, you saw the rabbit was hiding behind the hat - So the after the rabbit came out of the hat (Negate both) - For the trick to work it has to have us starting at the after not seeing from the before. Awareness covered or obfuscated by a seeing. So the mental state points to the after as being the before - But I would say we are of spirit which would be the before (According to scriptures, which is to remember), not that one can proclaim), and we take ourselves to be something that’s the after which is the mental image. Thus the character is waiting for conscious presence to awaken in its presence (But the character is the imagined dreaming and is the blocking agent of this, thus it is awakeness which wakes up in the absence of the character and not the awakeness which wakes up ‘To’. the absence of a character) - And that mental image is supported by memory, because when you remember something about the past your pictured as a body - If you would paint the anxiety, the painting anxiety would be pictured as a body - Therefore your anxious about as you as a body is going to be doing later - And you have or there is a lot of negative ideas that are causing the anxiety because you’ve relied on something that’s projecting you to be doomed next year - So there’s a faith in it, and that faith in it - The occupation with the future condition (All just manufactured), now is producing an effect now. IE: You’re feeling uncomfortable now yet there’s no reason in a sense why, other than faith in the thoughts about next year - If you see this it doesn’t hold water, there is selfing that says there’s been a self - So we now try to get out of what we’re not in, or even discuss what’s not happening (Maya talking about it’s self) - So self gets caught in a cycle of self trying to get out of self, and why it can’t is because it’s ‘Knot’ Inn. (If seeing not in) - Our true eye is (Para Brahman or Atman) - According to scriptures - Spacious Awareness When the big camera looks through the little camera it forgets it is the big camera and takes itself to be that which it’s looking through the little cameras cheap plastic shady lens which only has one role of film. It reinforces its more than this little camera as it holds great regard - The body (As the little lens), cannot get that I am not that - Because it doesn’t see that I am. ‘Knot’ that. The only way it can think is that I am this camera - ‘I was always Late’Ant’Ly A’Veil’Abel - Cane as the person can change the before. The knowledge ‘I am’ or beingness is an illusion. The beingness is a superimposition - A cloak of illusion Over the absolute. Nisargadatta Maharaj But Any Thing hasn’t heard what he said. Maharaj The black prince only makes sense because it is seen against a white background. Demons aren’t what you were thinking. What’s your looking for ? IE: Haven’t we been established, the sanity has replaced the insanity that preceded the first drink ! They found him last night, I can’t believe it, I thought he was gone forever. If they take off in the fog they’ll never land it. You think you want freedom, but if you know what freedom means, you will run away from that. The Matt and Satin finish is yet to be de-term-Inn’ed. How far into this clock have ever been I hadn’t had a drink since then.

Flower picking , and bar fights just happen 😅

a similar approach is necessitarianism as defended by amy karofsky.

Say what you like about Jim Newman, but he certainly does make me want to stop seeking.

There’s another “radical nonduality speaker” named Dawn Garland whose talks are really lovely, and she’s actually mentioned occasionally that, in the few empirical studies that have been done on this kind of awakening, there actually seems to be a correlation between extreme suffering beforehand and the awakening taking place. It’s not that the suffering *causes* the awakening, or is the “path to it”; it’s just how it often seems to work out. I have some ideas on why this might be the case, but it has nothing to do with anyone “intentionally making their way to enlightenment” or anything of the sort, lol

There cannot be Nonduality without Duality, they're the opposite ends of one stick, or two sides of the same coin. Characters like Jim Newman bother me because if he was truly nondual he couldn't function at all, he would sitting there drooling like he had a full lobotomy. Jim has memory and memory is thought, thoughts are fully dualistic in nature because it's what the mind knows as 'Now' and the 'Past' (dual).. Certainly being fully Non-dual, he wouldn't remember a split second ago so he couldn't speak or understand what was being said.

james is so stuck in the story of the illusionary character ... hilarious ... onces u brainwashed with this college rubbish you cant open up.. the message resonates with his inside but as soon as his mind kicks in he is lost

This massage is not useful at all to individual... because he feel individual and want to improve his situation...the advita path is seeing the reality of this individual (awareness) and stay there...then the individual sense become weaker and weaker so in some point he is sow week he doesn't notice and want remaining is flow of non personal awareness (what is) without the sense of individual...
