Thanks so much for this! I was lucky enough to be in the audience and it was my first in person retreat with James. It’s a cliche but this was ground breaking for me . Hope that cold has improved James!🙏

So clear. So helpful. Thanks James, and thanks Chris Coppock for doing the excellent recording. I liked it so much I'm going to watch it again. We are so lucky to live in the age of youtube where we can watch teachings again and again.

I really needed this right now. The world needs this right now. I heard your teachings on the Waking Up app and now its taking me deeper. I will try my best to integrate it in my life and share the light to my fellow beings I cross path with. Thank you!

Love his talks on the Sam Harris app, Waking Up. Woke me up when I heard him say “…fuck you…” the first time. Made me pay attention.

The focus is always on relaxation; .don't burden yourself with I have to sort it out. This is as it is be with how it is not trying to establish what it should be like

Most of our active experience of the world, as it is, is contact with vanishing. Which means you have to be there, there's no doggy bag. The idea of what it was is not it, it is not it

I love all your teachings Mr. Low ! Any thoughts about making a podcast out of all these videos? It would make for easier listening experience.

[robdowling]

So what does that mean; how could you be glad, then sad, then glad, because you are not a thing, you are a dynamic of interaction, you come into yourself through the other
