Nonduality: Simple Because It's You, But Complicated by the Thoughts That Mask It

Original video:The Con of Non Duality:

I realized that a lot of the popular videos are ones that are about getting nonduality instantly, you know, like 10 steps to get nonduality, 10 steps to stop suffering, or listen to this video, and you will understand everything, or you will see through the illusion. So a lot of the popular videos, including maybe mine, are the ones that make the realization of nonduality seem really easy or something that you already have. But what I thought or what came up was it's kind of like a little bit of a con in a way because it's like a play on words. Nonduality is really easy to see in a way because it's you, it's also really complicated because you're masked by thoughts. So it's really simple because it's you, it's right here, it's this. It's so simple and close to you because it is you, but when you've got lots of thoughts going on, that's so abstract. In fact, it's impossible to see because the thoughts are seemingly blocking everything, and the thoughts become an energetic expression in the body making it feel like you are here in relationship to life, whereas really there is this, and there is nothing else but this. And this is who you truly are, and that recognition, that energetic recognition, not a mental recognition, but an energetic collapsing, is freedom. But it's incredibly complex because most people are very full of ideas and thoughts, so they look for the answer in thoughts, they look for an answer in ideas, and this is where nonduality seemingly can be the con. Because, you know, after 50 years of life or 40 years of life, you realize that your life isn't working, and lots of suffering is beginning to emerge. So maybe you're going through a midlife crisis, and then, you know, if you go to therapy or if you go to a lot of spiritual practices, it's a lot of effort. And often people are really tied to life, you know, they have children, they have lots of commitments, and their life is very busy or very chaotic, and they can't do all of these things, and not to mention addiction. So they might be very addicted to things, which also means they can't do it. So making time for doing a bit of yoga or breathing work becomes very hard if you've got lots of addictive behaviors happening. And so this promise of nonduality, that you just listen to a video and there can be an instant enlightenment or an instant freedom, is very alluring, and you can see it by the YouTube video clicks and algorithms that people like those titles, which is super understandable.
