What Things Are Real?

I really like this guy because his motivation, approach, topics presented and quite a few of the interviewees are so darned similar to the past decade of my exploration.

What Things Are Real? | Episode 1308 | Closer To Truth

https://youtu.be/neSBuAfPvZs

"What is real? Is the physical world real? Or an expression of consciousness. Is consciousness real? Or an illusion? Is there a spirit world? Many dismiss anything other than the physical. Featuring interviews with John Hawthorne, Christopher Isham, Galen Strawson, and George F. R. Ellis."

In the Nonduality story, despite the very solid looking, convincing appearance of difference, All is One is the only reality. This idea of Oneness is not meant to indicate some sort of entity, but simply that despite apparent separation, All is One.

Resonance with this concept, perhaps even by the mind, can end the search, if one has not been conditioned by tradition to believe that there must first be a period of practise, or following a spiritual path, to limit the mind/ego or some other probably helpful human condition.

I assume you speak of actual Realization. Enlightenment. Liberation. Release. Moksha. The odds of hitting both PowerBall and Mega Millions and on consecutive draws is more likely.

There is no path, but only a fool does not walk it. https://youtu.be/Ku8cCrdh4Ic

It's a very nice summary of concept and process!

EDIT: Hmm, now that I had a second of thought after posting I assumed you were speaking to the last short video titled "Non-dual Consciousness and Practice (in Yoga Meditation, Vedanta, Tantra)".

Ya gotta admire Mr. Kuhn's determination and persistence. LOL!
