Yup, I understand what you're saying. At first I found him intriguing but after a while he did get boring because it's the same spiel over and over again. I haven't clicked on one of his videos in a couple of weeks because I know exactly what he's going to say. Been there, done that...

What initially did strike me though is his emphasis on opening up a little space between awareness and mind and shifting one's persepctive from mind to awareness. I probably even heard it from Eckhart Tolle many times but for some reason it just never clicked. Maybe I just wasn't ready?

Within seconds, I was up off the chair and spinning around like a dervish...
THAT "hit the spot".

It also happens whenever I listen to Kailash Kher:

A Whirling Dervish? LOL! But I know exactly what you mean. Music has a way of connecting to that deep inner space. For me it's classic rock. Not all of it, but some songs in particular get me in a funk groove and I'm moving around the house like James Brown! My dog gives me a look like I've lost it. Hahah!
