CLEAR, COMPLETE, CONVINCING
The individual is convinced that there’s something that needs to be gotten and somewhere that they need to go. This is just not true.

This is the end of experiencing.

The individual can’t know or find out anything about what is real.

Don’t think of a pink elephant to show that you are in control! That’s how much control the individual has.

Built into the body’s mechanism is the need for survival. It will do anything it can to survive and it will seek out good experiences and tried to avoid bed experiences.

The end of the individual is the absolute opposite of detachment. There’s no longer a separation between what appears and the individual. So if there’s anger, happiness joy whatever that’s what is. That’s all that is.

Religious teachings come from the belief that what tortures the individual is thoughts and feelings. You can detached from them and then you can realize that you have never had a thought!

Are you rejecting physics altogether? No but it’s just information. But it’s fun! Yes yes it is but it’s just information. In terms of technology there are quantum something… apparently yes apparently. When there’s no longer an individual it is obvious that an appearance is not anything. Because it’s matter. Nothing nothing! And this is nothing mattering!

THERE IS NO PATH. “THIS” IS HOME. FOR NO ONE.
This website & Jim Newmans NON-DUALITY meetings share a mystery, a paradox. The paradox is that THIS, this appearance, isn’t what it appears to be. It is and it isn’t. It’s no-thing being something. It’s emptiness appearing as everything. It’s unified appearing as divided or separated.

Within this apparent paradox arises an experience. That experience is, that this appearance is happening to ‘me’. That experience is not paradoxical; it feels very real. There’s no space, no room, no possibility for the reality, that ‘this’ isn’t happening to ‚me’. That experience of duality is dissatisfying. It’s uncomfortable. Out of that experience arises the need to bring about a wholeness, to cover up the feeling that what is, isn’t complete, to make the feeling that it’s not okay – okay. Out of that arises the need for good and bad and right and wrong. So this appearance then turns into ‚my life‘, and my life is the need to make ‘this’ better, ‘this’ good, to find out or to solve the problem of why I don’t feel like it’s okay, why I feel like something’s wrong, why I feel like I need to seek, to find something else.

Here and in the meetings, there will be an uncovering, revealing, pointing to the reality, that that experience of separation, that experience that I’m real, that there’s something wrong and that I need to do something about it, is illusory. In reality, THIS is whole, this is complete. There’s nothing missing, there’s no real lack, there’s no real need for anything to happen.

This sharing has no authority. So this up here is not telling anyone anything. There’s nothing that needs to be said. This is a response to the apparent question of the experience, that something needs to happen. The answer is: “No, there’s nothing that needs to happen.”

The solution or the end of the seeking isn’t a finding. That need to find something is never satisfied; it never happens. If it does, it’s very temporary. I find something and I’m afraid of losing it; I find something and I’m trying to hold onto it; I’m trying something and I’m trying to maintain it. It’s never satisfied. The end of the seeking is the end of the seeker, is the end of the experience, that ‘this’ is real.

What’s left is what’s already obviously everything: THIS. This doesn’t need anything else, this is already all there is. Whatever is happening—whatever feelings, thoughts, experiences are happening—that is the wholeness that is looked for. It’s not the wholeness the individual’s looking for. It’s not the wholeness that the “I am” is looking for. It will always be dissatisfied with this. It’s a wholeness that’s beyond the personal seeking, beyond the personal need for something more or something else.

There isn’t a you. Nothing needs to happen.

VERY STRONG AND CLEAR. LOUD & CLEAR ●

THE END OF SEEKING.

FREEDOM FROM “ME”.

IT’S EVERYTHING AND NOTHING AT THE SAME TIME.

THERE’S ONLY ONE DREAM : THE DREAM OF “I AM”.

You will never recognize this contracted energy until it falls away. It’s in the falling away that it is recognized.

You’re trying to work out what’s happening. It can’t be worked out. Nothing needs to be worked out.

Being present come, in the now, surrendering, all these things are an attempt to work it out and they’re simply misunderstandings.

No one ever becomes free. This whole message is about freedom is what is happening it’s only what is happening and is not something that we get.

He pulls no punches!

Nothing needs to happen for seeking to end. There is no happening.

Position 40….It’s not that there’s a knowing or not knowing or an unknowing. That has nothing to do with it but the seeking seeking seeking not realizing that there is no end to all the seeking. It’s a dead end path. All that there is is this what you see right now. No there’s no accountability there’s nothing to strive for there is nothing to get there’s nothing I can give you or we can give you or you can strive for and eventually attain. there’s none of that. It’s like everything that you could possibly do to try to get enlightened, become aware, open your mind, anything at all, is futile because it goes nowhere. Round and round and round and round equals nowhere. So questioning oneself that’s called self enquiry goes nowhere. Studying books on Enlightenment takes you nowhere. Why? Because you’re already here! it’s this is it! And when you realize it, it’s like WOW!!! I Robin am remembering a lot of this from other episodes with Jim Newman and I just included it here – it’s pretty much what he always talks about. It’s pretty amazing if you wanna know the truth!

Pure Advaita with Jim Newman -JN

The separate self can’t imagine what is true because it’s always making what is look like something else.

The only totally unreal part of the appearance is the separate self. What is apparently is what is.

Under the belief of a separate self the I is always looking to find fulfillment find happiness fill its needs. That sets up a story line for the good and the bed and I will judge everyone according to what I feel is right.

IT’S REAL AND UNREAL. The separate sense of self gets real and has no clue what unreal is.

THE TALKING IS DIFFICULT BUT It’s so simple ….. undeniable ….. obvious …..

There could be reincarnation in the story. [26:00] The “I” is not necessarily dependant on the mind. The body dies and the I live on. That is all part of the illusion but the I that is not attached to the body there’s still attention, there’s still a knowing. That’s all an illusion. But the I that is not attached to the body, that’s eternal But it is not infinite. It has a platform called “I am”. The I am is what gives the platform for everything to open up and you can see and other worlds and you can Say psychedelic images and all those things that the I am is supposedly capable of period but it’s all elusion.Once the I is dropped, all space and time is dropped, then you go wow!!!!

Talking about fitting things in to make it better – that’s the story of “me”. That search is eternal because there is no better. There is this endless search of filling a need that something is wrong and needs to be fixed by following someone like Jesus or Buddha or Ramana Maharshi. It’s that same ENDLESS. CYCLE.

This is fulfillment it is complete. There’s no need to be or become special anymore. THIS IS WOW !!! THIS IS IT !!! THERE’S NOTHING TO HOPE FOR!

The misunderstanding is that something needs to change, to come or to go away, for things to be in that Wow state. This is it!!!

Nothing is known already. Knowing is the illusory world, the dream.
